-of the germs of Consumption,
Scrofula, Grip, Malaria, and many
other diseases-means fight or die
for all of us. These germs are every.
where in the air we breathe. The
odds are in favor of the germs, if
our liver is inactive and our blood
impure.
!. What is needed most is an increase
in our germ-fighting strength. To
do this successfully you need to put
on healthy flesh, rouse the liver to
vigorous action, 80 it will throw of
these germs, and purify the blood 80
that there will be no "weak spot"
nor soil for germ-growth.
We claim for DIR. Pierce's Golden

the development of generations Of

WHAT AN EGG WILL Do.-For
burns and scalds nothing is more sooth-
ing than the white of an egg, which
may be poured over the wound. 1t is
softer, as a varnish for q burn, than
collodion, and, being always at
hand, can be applied. It is also more
cooling thar the sweet oil and cotton
which was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to allay the smart
ing pain. 1t is the contract with the
air which gives the extreme discom-
fort experienced from the ordinary
accident of this kind, and anything
that excludes the air, and prevents in
Illumination is the thing to be at once
applied. The egg is considered one of
n best of remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up slightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at q gulp, it's
emolient qualities, to lesson the in
fammation of the stomach and in
te %stines, and, by forming q transient
coating on these organs to enable
nature to resume her healthful SWAY
over a diseased body. Two, or at most
three eggs per day would be all that is
required in ordinary cases; and since
egg is not merely medicine, but food
as well, the lighter the dict otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the recov-

of the State.
The following is the weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday,
Aug. Ia:
The best reports this week com
from near the mountains, in the Pied
mont region, and along the North
Carolina border, where cotton Is of
good size and we'll fruited, some
farmers reporting that their crops
Will run seven-eighths Of a crop,
while others expect q full crop. In
the middle belt, along the coast and
the Savannah River counties, cotton
has not done 80 we'll. The cool nights
and excessive rains have produced
rust and caused considerable she'd
ding.
PIEDMONT REGION.
Cotton at the base of the mountains
is of good size and we'll fruited, with
comparatively little shedding, but fur
tier down shedding is increasing, In
some sections more than others. The
past week has been favorable to the
plant, and while smaller than last year
the fruit Is better. Rust is reported
in many places. Late cotton is doing
WELL, but has only a short time to put
on forms n mature them before
frost. Cotton is opening in some coun-
ties.
Young corn, peas, potatoes int tur-
nips are doing well. Fodder pulling
is progressing rapidly.
MIDDLE BELT. :
Cotton pick has commenced In
some counties a d will begin in others
this week. There is q great deal of
rust in cotton on light, sandy soil; on
clay land it looks better, but is
not as we'll fruited. 1t is casting
badly In many counties and is prema-
turely opening. Caterpillars have APP
peared in some sections, and while
many farmers predict great damage,
others do not consider them yet in suf-
icient numbers to warrant any appre-
hension. Young corn is doing we'll,
Turnips have been killed out in a few
places by tho hot sun.
COAST REGION.
There has been too much rain for
cotton, and in fact for all crops. Rust
Is pretty general and some complaint
is made of caterpillars. Cotton is
opening rapidly and picking will start
about two weeks earlier than usual.
The plant is dropping both fruit and
leaves to an alarming extent in Will
liamsburg County from scald and rust.
Rice looks fine; will commence cut
ting this week, weather permitting
Prospects are favorable for q good
