Eleven hundred and twenty-five bales cotton made up the receplts at Amerlcus warehouses yesterday, smashing all records of a day in wag on receipts. Oftlmes In years past the thousand bale mark has been reach ed and exceeded—thrice this season already—but never before In the his tory of the cotton trade here have wagon receipts touched yesterday’s figures—1X25 bales. ~ It was the ban ner day of the season—of many sea sons—and brought prosperity and business to Amerlcus merchants. Al ready nearly 18,000 wagon bales have been received at Amerlcus ware houses, a fair crop In Itself, and other thousands are yet to come. Yesterday was a banner day in business circles and merchants reaped a golden har vest with hundreds of cotton bales selling at 11 1-4 cents and the money spent here by thousands of busy buy ers. Deafness Cannot Be Cared by local applications, as thoy cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There Is only ono way to cure deafness, and (hat is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PITTSBURG,, PA., Oct. 19.—(Spec ial)—The llttie town of Wilson, on the Monongahela river, about 20 miles above this city, was almost de populated a few days ago, as a re sult of an attack In true Western fashion made on the town by several hundred Italians. The Italians, all of them Intoxicated, literally ‘‘shot up” the town until the 1,500 Inhabit ants fled in terror. There was an Italian birthday par ty the night before which was attend ed by all the Italians in the neigh borhood. Large quanties of bad whiskey were served. Each of the Italians was armed, and, smarting under the threats that have been made against the Italian colony on account of the Black hand outrages, the foreigners started out for venge.

October 18. —(Special)—Senator 1. B. Frazier, characterizes as entirely unwarrant ed in fact the statement that Presi dent Roosevelt would break the solid South should he consent to be candidate for a third term. He said: “President Roosevelt as opposed to Mr. Bryan would not, in my opinion, get os many votes In the South as he did In 1904, and I know he would not carry the State of Missouri, which voted for him In the last Presidential election. Maryland Is of course doubt ful for either party ,and I would not attempt to say what the result would be there. Speaking of the recent visit of the President to the South, Senator Fra zier said: ‘This generous reception should not be misunderstood. The people of my State are cordial in their na ture and would give a warm welcome to any President, who was not per sonally obnoxious to them, but the fact that we gave President Roosevelt a hearty welcome is not to be taken as an indication that Tennessee or any other Southern State would cast its vote for him. Secretary Taft is popular in Tennessee, to which he used to come when a judge, but the State would not be for him or any other Republican In a Presidential contest” Out of Sight "Out of sight, out of mind,” is an old saying which applies with spec ial force to a sore, burn or wound that’s been It’s onto tof In hand and trained until they are 16,17 or 18 years old.
