Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment as the can¬
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused bv an inflamed
condition of t he mucous lining of
thr Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is suilamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closeu, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inilamation can
be taken out and this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is noth¬
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, AUG. 13, 1909,
“Our Legislature.”
There are only a few more days left for the Solons of the Ga.,
Legislature to make a noise like passing bills and doing legislative
work like their constituents expect them to do. We fail to see
what they have done in the way of legislative action since they
have been m session, and now that the end is in sight there will
probably be a rush and a scramble, and no very important meas
ure will likely be put through now at this late hour.
Too much time has been lost in the hall, by a few sore heads
and cranks, talking and discussing the whisky traffic and “Near
Beer License.” Such a lot of rot. We think near-beer or any
such belly'wash as that ought to be a penitentiary offense to sell
it, instead of squabling over the tax that arises from it. Uentle
men wliat do you mean anyhow. J' : 4 not the last legislature wipe
out beer and whisky ! Some say tba. “ni-beer” won’t intoxicate.
May-be you don’t know, or don’t care. Which is it. Just so you
get that mile-age and $4 per day.
There aught to be biennial sessions.
This matter of biennial sessions does not present any mixed
complications that the legislature should quibble over, nor hold
any lengthy harrangues about. The question is simply this. The
people want it, so why not give it to them.
It has been figured out what the bolding of the sessions every
other year would save the state. Just at this time we do not re¬
call the amount, but it runs up into thousands of dollars, which
amount of money could very profitably be used for other expen
ses of the state. For instance, it might be used to help pay the
school teachers all over the state, with whom the state officials al¬
ways seem to have so much trouble in making prompt payments,
and to the satisfaction of the teachers.
We sincerely hope that if the legislature does not do anything
else during this session, it will pass a biennial session bill, and cut
out so much “ni-beer” talk and “tommy-rot.”
Our Atlanta Letter.
Special to The Murray News
[n discussing matters of
current interest in Atlanta, one
hardly knows whether to begin
with Legislature or Automobiles.
Perhaps the former is of more
general present interest over the
state at large, but the first thing
an Atlantian who doesn’t own an
automobile has to do is, to get
out of the way of somebody elee’e
All Atlanta is divided, into
three classes of citizens: Those
who own these modern monsters,
those who look on admiringly
and covet them, and those who
are content to do without them,
but pay enough profits out of
their meager earning to help
somebody else maintain them.
There are already over 1,000 of
them in the city winch, you know
has several millionaires, includ¬
ing a few, it is said, of the fif¬
teen cent variety.
But while something like a
million dollars has gone out of
Atlanta to pay for these mach¬
ines, it is an ill wind indeed that
doesn’t blow some goodto Atlanta
One moet enterprising amj
estimable citizen, victor H,
Kriegshaber by name, has deci¬
ded that Atlanta itself shall
furnish the automobiles, and
keep or bring here the money
paid for them in the South, and
give employment to a number of
its citizens. That looks a little
better to us, and we can perhaps
dodge the things with a little
better grace, and a little less
profanity on the part of the
profanley inclined, if we realize
that they are helping to put bread
in the mouths of our fellow-eiti
zens.)
There has been some comment
about the small number of bills
passed by the present session of
the legislature up to date; but
that bare fact is not necessarily
discreditable, by’any means, for
if the state continues to heap up
statute upon statute, we will by
and by have more laws than
anybody can keep track of or
know what to do with, and we
will fear to sit down or rise up
without having one or two legal
lights examine several ponderous
volumes. It is ten to one, there¬
fore, that it is just as well if the
legislature adjourns without pag¬
ing most of the five hundred bills
now pending.
Dr. A. R. Wright avers that
they must and will give his
side-saddle bill right of way and
get it through. Far be it from
us to prejudice the public mind
by expressing an opinion upon
the merits of this important
measure.
As for “Guyt” McLendon, it
seems so far uncertain as to
whether his case will be disposed
of before adjournment.
Enemies from among his erst-
while friends make it indeed
appear that lie had fallen from
grace and fallen pretty low; and
certain it is that he fell from
Hoke Smith’s grace, at least, as
did also “Little .Joe” Brown in
days past. His defence is, that
he did not wish to discriminate
in favor of a certain class of
Atlanta jobbers, as against other
parties located in the citv or
elsewhere. Such a cloud of
political dust is raised, that it is
difficult to got at the exact facts.
A perusal of the 460 type¬
written pages before the legisla¬
ture would doubtless throw' some
light on the subject to any who
might have the opportunity and
the patience to read it, and the
wisdom to sift out and separate
the truth from the mass of words
One of the matters under con¬
sideration of more than ordin¬
ary importance, is that of com
pulsory education. It is con¬
templated that this measure shall
cover only three or four of the
lower grades, and it seems that
exceptions are allowed where
there is reasonable ground for
them. Superintendent Jere M.
Pound has taken position square¬
ly in favor of this compulsory
idea, which he does with his
accustomed energy, and giving,
as usual, strong reasons for the
faith that is in him. This is a
question that changes hues with
us somewhat according to the
angles from which we look at it;
but for a helpless child to be
condemned to the fearful slavery
of absolute illiteracy on account
either of the unwisdom or pure
cuBsed negligence of his parents,
seems to us so repugnant, that we
are inclined to believe that with
reasonable restrictions orexcept
tions, it is reasonable and as just
and as wise to require parents to
at least have their chldren taught
to read as to have them fed and
clothed. When one’s liberty
interferes with the rights of
others who are helpless to protect
themselves, then it may be time
for the sovereign law to step in
and say “Thou shalt,” and do
what is necessary to enforce its
commands.
Another question that is
of considerable importance, and
that has thrown the legislature,
and to some extent the general
public as well, into quite a stew,
is that of the “near-beer” busi
ness is a cloak behind which
opponents of proihbition have
sought to take shelter, cannot be
denied, and there is growing
dissatisfaction with it on the
part of those who say that
either should have prohibition
should not have it, and
“near-beer” is a
that is not satisfactory to
side. The Alexander

Summer Cutting Of
Pines.
The cutting of pine trees in
the summer months should be
avoided as far as practicable.
Timber that is cut in the sum¬
mer is more liable to “blue” or
become affected with a fungous
growth which causes bluish
streaks and spots in it. Lumber
that is so affected does not bring
as high prices as lumber without
these blemishes.
Summer cutting is also liable
to bring on attacks of bark beet¬
les. Such attacks do not always
follow summer cutting, but they
very often do. A common exam¬
ple of this is u tree struck by
lightning in the spring or sum¬
mer months. Such a tree is
often seen in the lire woods sur¬
rounded by trees that have been
killed by bark beetles. The tops
and stumps in the case of cutting
and the dying tree in the case
of a stroke of lighting, furnish
a breeding place for the beetles,
and when they have become
sufficiently numerous, they
spread to surrounding trees and
cause their death.
Farmers should, therefore, do
as little cutting of pine trees
as practicable during the sum¬
mer months. If it becomes nec¬
essary to cut poles, fire wood, or
other material during the sum¬
mer, the tops should be used up
closely, or, better still should
be piled and burned; and if trees
are killed by lightning or thrown
by the wind, they should also be
cut up and removed as soon as
possible. The year’s supply of
poles, fire wood, and other mat¬
erial, is best cut in the fall or
winter when the frosts will check
the spread of the bark beetles.

It seems that Mr. McLendon is
able to hit back. He is charging
his accusers with all sort of graft.
who say that the proper way to
get rid of the “near-beer” busi¬
ness is to undo what we did to
legalize it, which was done by
placing a tax on it. Dr. White,
of the Second Babtist church, is
one of the latter, and one who
resents with more than his ac¬
customed energy the imputation
that he is therefore friendly to
the liquor traffic.
It seems reasonably certain
that there will be a tax of 5e per
gallon on “syrups, tinctures and
extracts” used in the manufac¬
ture of soft drinks, so that in
future whosoever patronizes a
soda water stand may have the
coqsciousness’as he imbibeth any
of the numerous drinks ottered,
that he is thereby contrbuting to
the support of his state govern¬
ment, and is therefore to that
extent a public benefactor.

of general news, one item that
has surprised many is the failure

record of profitable business, but
which was completely over

an unfortunate mining venture,

A Tale and a Moral.
—
Once upon a time a man who
was too economical to take a pa
per sent his little boy to borrow
the copy taken by his neighbor.
Iu his haste the boy ran over a $4
stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a watery summer
squash.
His cries reached his father,
who ran to his assistance, and
failing to see a barb wire fence
r»n into it, breaking it down and
cutting a handful of llesh from
his anatomy and ruining a $4
pair of pants.
An old cow took advantage of
the gap in the fence, got into the
cornfield and killed herself eat¬
ing green corn. Hearing the
racket, his wife ran, upsetting a
a 4 gallon churn full of rich milk
into a basket of kittens and
drowning the whole dock. In
her hurry she dropped and lost a
17 set of teeth.
The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk in the
parler and ruined a $20 carpet.
During the excitement the old¬
est daughter ran away with the
hired man, the calves got out
and the dog broke up 11 setting
hens.

Color Line.
The color line is so rigidly
drawn in New Castle, Delaware,
that a white dentist who reliev¬
ed a negroof tooth ache is being
boycotted. The morning after
he had pulled the jumping and
throbbing tooth for the negro,
the dentist found his sidewalk
painted in brilliant and flaming
colors, bearing the legend : “Ne¬
groes and whites treated alike,”
and with a hand pointing to his
door. The paint couldn’t be
scrubbed off, so the whole side¬
walk had to be torn up. Negro¬
phobia seems to be really more
deep-seated in Delaware than
any other part of the country.—
Exchange.
The negroes, the wisest of
them, are beginning to learn
that the whites of the South,
yea the Southern Democrats, are
their best friends and, better
treatment all round is accorded
them here than in any other sec¬
tion, where there is any consid¬
erable number of the African
race.
