Condition of Weather and Crops
in This State.

The second bulletin of the sea-
son of the condition of the wealth
or and the crops was issued yes
terday by Director Bauer of the
South Carolina section of the
climate and crop service of the
United States weather bureau. 1t
is AS follows:
The week ending Monday,
April Is, averaged nearly five de-
grees cooler than usual, with light
frosts, in exposed places, from
the Sth, to the 10, but no injury
resulted unless possibly to peaches,
other than retarding the growth
of vegetation. There was much
high, cold wind, but there was
more than the usual amount of
sunshine.
The week was dry until the
evening of the 18th, when cold,
moderately heavy rains set in over
the western portions, that became
general ON the 18th, and were
light and showery over the eastern
portions. The rains were needed
to soften clay lands that had dried
out hard and crusty, and broke
up cloddv in places, and to supply
moisture for the germination of
seeds and the growth of young
plants over the eastern sections.

slightly deficient
Flowing and the preparation of
laods in general made rapid pro-
grsss over the whole State, but
planting operations we're confined
principally to the eastern and
central counties, where upland

whore much replantlng has be en-
done, made necessary by poor
gsrmination in places, and by
birds destroying stands in others
In general, stands of all crops
that are up are poor, except in

BRYAh'S PAPER.

In his salutatory Mr.. Bryan says
The term, the common peo-
pie, is properly used to des-

the people--those whe earn
their living and give to So

pie form the industrious, in

produce the nations wealth
in time of peace and fight
the nations battles in time
of war. They are self-reliant
and independent; they ask
of government simply justice

content if they keep other

A rich man who has hon

found 1t great cure for my sickness.
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Geo. E. Rouse
Public opinion in the large cities
throughout the country shows the reliance
that hard-worked, often over-worked men
and women have come to place upon
Paines celery compound.
Nothing >demoralizes the health sooner
or more completely than even the occa-
sional loss of sleep. Paines celery COM

1t can be truthfully said of no other
remedy in the world what is so often said
Of Paine's celery compound. that in no
single instance has it failed to benefit, and
benefit permanenuy-and there's the point
that no sufferer should lose sight of.
The whole stock-in-trade of the ordi-
nary, plausible sounding, but wholly ire
sponsible remedies is to bring about the
appearance of health. to cover up symp-
toms and to stave off break-downs. max

no lasting cure, do harm.

rately describe Paine's celery compound. a
remedy that every day proves its worth.
are body used to exploit connections that
can by no possibility do anything but
harm. More brains and ingenuity are ex-
pended on the label and wrapper than on
what is put Into the bottles. Persons who
try this remedy and that, in the foolish
hope that they may hit on the right one
by chance, and at any rate il can do them

their system incaieulable mischief and

from the use of Paine's celery compound
is too valuable to be withheld from the

AMERICAN LEAGUE GROUNDS.
Manning Has an Option on a Site on
Fourtheenth street Northeast.


James Manning, the proprietor OF the
Washington Baseball Club. of the Amer
lean League, yesterday, through his attor-
ney, Wilton J. Lambert, secured an option
on certain property located at Fourteenth
and II Streets northeast 1t is quite likely
that Mr.. Manning will lease this properly
for use as a baseball park in the 1ear
future, but as yet the lease has not been
made.
This move IS taken as an indication that
the American League will really have a
team in Washington. For the past sew
eral weeks the eyes of the other cities
comprising the American League have
been turned toward Washington and some
anxiety was felt, because Manning had
not secured grounds. He has had options
on several desirable locations, but IN more
than one instance there has been strong
objection made through the District Com
missioners at the proposed location Of
baseball parks on these sites.
The property at Fourteenth and II
Streets northeast is one of the best sites
for a baseball park in the city. The land
belongs to the Washington Brick Com
pany, which also owns all the land sur
rounding. with the exception of a portion
lying to the west of the proposed g-unds.
The property on which Manning secured
the option consists of tract $50 feet long
and 1000 feet in width bounded on the
south by the street formed by the inter-
section of Florida Avenue and II Streets
and on the east by fourteenth Street. 1t
is fairly level and smooth with the ex-
ception of few trenches dug by the brick
company. When filled in, leveled and
graded, the property will be converted in
to an ideal and spacious park.
If the lease is closed, Mr. Manning in
tends TO erect grandstands and bleachers
of the latest pattern The seating ca
pacity will be so great that the largest
crowds may be accommodated with little
trouble. A large and spacious carriage
field will be built.

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of LaGriphe Are Com
veyed Through the iamusphcre.


No one can escape the La Grippe germ
because when an epidemic of the disease
is prevailing the air is laden with it,
The reason everyone does not have the
disease at the same time is because the
persons who are enjoying perfect health
are able to successfully. resist and throw
off the infection. while those who for any
reason are not in the best OF health fall
ready victims.
The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh. resembling a hard cold and II
prompt treatment is applied at this time,
it can easily be broken up: one Of the best
remedies at this stage is Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets. sold by druggists everywhere and
if taken freely. say one tablet every hour
or two for two or three days, the danger
of pneumonia and serious complications
win be averted.
The Rev l.. F. Palmer, Baptist clergy
man of Ceresco Mich. makes statement
of interest TO all catarrh and grip suffer
ers. He says: "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have certainly been a blessing TO me.
have used them freely this fan and winter
and have found them safeguard against

which I had suffered for years. l feel
that can freely and conscientiously rec
ommend them"
Persons who suffer from catarrh of the
head and threat are very susceptible to
La Grippe and such viii fini pleasant,
convenient and safe remedy in this new
catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
entirely OF harmless antiseptics and may
be used as freely as necessary as they
contain no cocaine, opiate OF poisonous
