gsns are all restored to perfect
healthy condition. If it is Syphilis,
any and all skin, blood and bone dis
eases arising from the faint are en-
tirely and permanently eliminated
from the system. If it is impotency,
the many distressing symptoms fol-
lowing in it's train and indicating
premature decline of the so-called
physical, mental, sexual powers are
totally removed and rapidly replaced
by the youthful energy of robust
manhood.
Hence all resulting ills and reflex

An Outrage.

WATERFORD, Special.-The community
around Ruffins, in this county, is very
much wrought up over an attempt at
rape near there Wednesday afternoon.
About I o'clock in the afternoon a big
burly negro named Jake Bostick. as he
was passing the home Of Mrs. Ann
Crosby seized Mrs. Crosby's little 13-
year-old daughter Daisy and attempted
to rape her in front of her gate. The
cries of the child and screams OF Mrs.
Crosby heightened the negro of, so
that he did not complete his dastardly
act. The family and friends of Mrs.
Crosby frightened the negro off, so
was in search of the Scoundrel. They
secured the country for miles, but did
not succeed in catching him. 1t is said
that if he had been caught last night
no mercy would have been shown him,
but that he would have been swung TO
the first tree. However the leaders Of
the crowd are more cool today ana are
now willing for the low to take lis
course when he is captured. A warrant
for Bostick's arrest was issued By Mag
istrate Beach. Mrs. Crosby is widow
of a respectable family and lives near
RTffins. Jake Bostici: is very bad ne
gro who las a reputation for his fre-
Guent service on the clain5anS.

WEALTH OF THE CONGO.
Ivory and Rubber the Chief Sources OF
Its Prosperity.


ivory and rubber are the sources Of
wealth Of the Congo Free State, in Af-
rica. the connection of which to Bel
gum is now engaging the attention of
che legislators OF that kingdom. AT
present .ne Congo Free State is the
private possession OF King Leopold II.
OF the ZOO tor, Of ivory annually
produced in the world 600 are derived
from Africa. Hall a century ago all
the African ivory came from Egypt
and Zanzibar. but to-day the Congo
Free State holds the fist rank among
ivory producing countries. In 1899 no
less than $40 tons were exported to
Europe. this being more than half the
total African output The Antwerp
ivory market, which was started on
July 81, 1883. with sale Of 10 tons,
surpassed the Liverpool market in
1880 and the London market in 1895.
The Antwerp ivory market is to-day
by far the most important in the
world.
Herds of wild elephants are still eZ-
tremely numerous in the immense vir-
gin forests of central Congo. The ma
tives hunt these animals more on ac-
count Of their flesh, which the negroes
greatly appreciate, than for their
tusks. But only small proportion Of
the ivory annually exported from the
Congo is taken directly from newly
killed animals. Thus, during 1899, OF
the 29,9S5 tusks sold on the Antwerp
market, $500 alone came from freshly
killed animals, the remaining 21,446
tusks being what the natives term
dead ivory" For centuries the abb
origines have been collecting elephant
tusks, which they considered as hav-
ing little intrinsic value, but useful as
articles of exchange.

PALMETTO CROP CONDITIONS.
Ter7psrature Above the Normal With
Scattered Showers.

The week ending s a. m. Monday
September 10th. averaged nearly five
deereaS per day warmer than usual,
and the maximum temperature OF %
degrees at Blackvilie on the 18th. and
a minimum of 50 degrees a. Greenyilis
on the 9Th. There was mora tflan the
usual amount of bright sunshine, ani
only n tie extreme western portions
did clcudiness prevail TO any consider
able extent. The winds were general
Iy sou,hwesterly and dried the surface
OF the soil to quite depth.
Well distributed showers occurred
in the extreme western and northweS-
tern counties on the 18th. and light
very scattered showers in the south
central counties. but there was an en-
tire absence OF rain over the greater
portion of the State until the evening
OF the 18th when showers occurred
over the southern counties.
The dry weather was favo. ale for
haying. harvesting rice, and for pick
Ing cotton. but was injurious on tur-
nipS. young cotton. fall truck and s1:.
dens, and all other growing crops.
Gotten opened fast, except along the
northern border counties and some
opened prematurely owing TO rust that
has increased rapidly. The hot weatA-
er induced shedding, and stopped
growth OF young cotton. The crop is
reported in a less favorable condition
than it was a few weeks ago, and is
not as heavily fruited as it is promised
to be. Boll worms have appeared il
many sections and have caused some
injury. Sea Island cotton improved
during the week Picking has made
fair progress. although but little las as
yet been ginned.
Early cotton is being gathered and
as predicted, the yields are poor; late
corn is somewhat better Much fod-
der wac saved in excellent condition
during the week. Rice harvest made
rapid progress under nearly ideal
EeathC- conditions. and is n22r:y fin
ished for March and April seedlings
