Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications. as they can not

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an iullained condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when It is entirely closed deafness Is the
result and unless the inflammation can lie
taken’out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition hearing will he destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Suit Against Concern Under the
Anti-Trust Law Is Heard in
Federal Court.
The dissolution suit against the
American Naval Stores Company of
Savannah, entered by the government
under the Sherman anti-trust act,
again was brought into court when the
hearing of demurrer proceedings began
today before the United States circuit
court of appeals this moijning.
The government some time ago en
tered suit at Savannah, charging that
the American Naval Stores Company
of New York, the American Naval
Stores Company of West Virginia, the
National Transportation and Terminal
Company of New York, the National
Transportation and Terminal Company
of New Jersey, Peninsula Naval Stores
Company and Union Naval Stores
Company are entered into a combina
tion in restraint of trade.
The suit further declared that the
American Naval Stores Company con
trolled 75 per cent of the world's yield
of turpentine and resin, and 90 per cent
of the yield in America. The com
pany, it is alleged, was in such a posi
tion that it arbitrarily could fix the
price of turpentine and resin at any
mark it wished.
If the demurrer is upheld, no fur
ther proceedings will be allowed
against the so-called trust, but if it is
overruled the suit will be continued.

MILEAGE BITTLE
BEGINS BEFORE
BIG CROWD
Railroad Commission Outlines
Questions Involved and
i
Hears Conductor.
i
The Georgia railroad commission
called: for a hearing of the petition of
the traveling men in thefamous mile
age "pulling" dispute at 10:30 o'clock
this morning.
So numerous were the attorneys pro
and eon and tiie witnesses summoned
that the small audience chamber of the
commission was fsund to be far too
small for the accommodation of the
crowd, and the hearing was transferred
to the hall of the house of representa
tives.
Before proceeding with the bearing
Chairman Candler, of the commission,
reviewed former hearings, and ex
plained why the commission had called
an additional hearing, after the July
sitting of the commission.
The chairman said the commission
did not think it proper to pass upon
such a question as the one petitioner*
ptesented, when the legislature was
considering a bill to provide the identi
cal thing the traveling men sought
from the commission. The chairman
also stated that previous hearings were
neither as complete nor as clear as the
commission desired, in endeavoring to
reach a just and proper decision in the
matter.
Eight Questions Involved.
The commission, through its chair
man, placed, all parties to the contro
versy on notice that it considered eight
legal questions involved, and desired
the hearing addressed to the same.
The legal phases of the controversy
upon which the commission desires
light are: (1) Having prescribed maxi
mum passenger rates for each railroad
in the state, has the commission the
power to require the sale of tickets a!
less than prescribed, maximum rates'!
(2) Has the commission the right to
require the sale of interchangeable
mileage at prescribed maximum rates
or less? (3) Has the commission the
right to pass upon the reasonableness
of rules, regulations and conditions as
to the use of mileage tickets sold at
less than maximum rates? (4) Has
the commission the power to direct that
if mileage is sold or accepted at rates
less than the prescribed maximum, the
rules and regulations attached shall be
such as the commission may deem rea
sonable? (5) Has the commission the
power to condemn one reasonable reg
ulation and. prescribe in its stead an -
other reasonable regulation, less incon
venient or burdensome in its applica
tion? (til Is it unlawful discrimination
for a carrier to honor mileage sold by
another carrier, at reduced rates, from
one intending passenger, and to refuse
to sell similar mileage to another in
tending passenger directly applying for
its purchase? (7) Does the fact that
different forms of mileage books are
sold bring such transportation within
the interstate commerce law, and to the
exclusion of state legislation, when one
of the forms issued is used in intra
state traffic? (8) Has the commission
power to the sale, acceptance. In
terchange or use of construetuallv is
sued interchangeable mileage upon any
different conditions than those named
in the contract between the parties?
Conductor on Stand.
After outlining the commission’s de
sires in the hearing, the chairman or
dered witnesses called in the follow ing
order: Witnesses called by the com
mission, witnesses for the railroads,
witnesses for the petitioners. Afte'
witnesses have been heard, statements
will be heard from such private citizens
as desire to be heard. Argument is to
be confined to two speeches on each
side, the petitioners to open and con
clude.
Just before noon Conductor H. C.
Chiles, of the Georgia. Savannah and
Florida, was called to the stand.
He went into detail as to the great
inconvenience and injustice to the rail
roads of requiring conductors to "pul!"
mileage. He said that a conductor
could easily lift from five to fifteen
tickets while he was "pulling" one
mileage strip.
This witness’ testimony was deliv
ered under questions asked by the
chairman of the railroad commission.
The examination of witnesses will
consume all of today's time, and is
largely a reiteration of testimony here
tofore delivered in the same matter.
The hearing is expected to run
through tomorrow, and possibly into
Saturday.
After the hearing is eioseef the com
mission will consider the case, prob
ably in executive, session, and it may be
next week before a decision is handed
down.

HANGING IS LINE
IRTIS DISCUSSED
Scientists Hear Paper on His
tory and Progress of Legal
Executions.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Hanging as a fine
art was discussed by the scientists of
the British association here just before
it separated.
One of the last papers read dealt with
an extraordinary subject, "Hanging
Without Tears." It was Dr. L. Frederic
Wood-Jones who introduced this rather
grizzly subject, but. as he explained, it
had its uses, because, "if you are going
to hang a man, you might as well hang
him properly.”
With skulls of notorious murderers as
illustrations and lantern slides of gib
bets. he related the history of hanging
for a thousand years.
"Tiie Anglo-Saxon, " he said, “has a
great love of hanging, and the science
has constantly improved. In medieval
times many of the places where they
hanged people were provided with a
kitchen with big pots of pitch. The bodies
were pitched all over and made water
proof and able to resist the atmosphere.
Then they were hung out as a warning
to other offenders.
Bodies Popular Sights.
"This was the beginning of gibbeting.
Thames pirates once formed one of the
most popular sights of gay London. and
there was great disappointment among
inkeepers when the pirates were no long
er allowed to be hung in chains.”
Hanging was also used as an anes
thetic In connection with the old practice
of killing a man for high treason by
hanging, drawing and quartering him.
This kind of hanging did not necessarily
kill a man, for five men hanged in 1447
—gentlemen, belonging to the duke of
Gloucester—had been marked out to be
quartered and drawn, when their pardons
arrived. They were cut down, and soon
were none the worse.
This year a case came to light whicfi
showed that the up-to-date method es
hanging is tiie same as the Romans
used to practice on the Nubians. A man
was executed in 1865 by Cacraft. one of
Scotland’s most fashionable practitioners.
"His skull,” said Dr. Wood-Jones,
•'showed lesions exactly similar to those
in the skulls of the Nubians hanged in
Roman days—caused by the right-handed
knot under the jaw This produces the
same effect as the boxer's knock-out
blow."
PLANTER GOES BANKRUPT

declared that he had but two when he
filed his petition.

Why Salves Can’t Cure Eczema
Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, many dif
ferent salves have been tried for skin
diseases. But it has been found that
these salves only clog the pores and can
not penetrate to the inner skin below
the epidermis where the eczema germs
are lodged.
This—the quality of penetrating—
probably explains the tremendous suc
cess of the well known liquid eczema
remedy, oil of Wintergreen, thymol, gly
cerine, etc., as compounded in D.D.D
Prescription.
