Stricken With Paralysis.

Henderson Grimett of this place
was stricken with partial paralysis
and completely lost the use of one
arm and side. After being treated
by an eminent physician for quite a
while without relief, my wife recon-
mended Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and after using two bottles of it he IS
almost entirely cured.--Geo. R. Nc
Donald, Man, Dogan county, W. Va.
Several other very remarkable cures
of paralysis have been effected by
the use of this liniment. 1t is most
widely known, however, as a cure
for rheumatism. sprains and bruises.

Some Mistakes In Which the Moon
Sun and Wind Figure.

Some Mistakes In Which the Moon,
Sun and Wind Figure.
The moon proves a terrible pitfall to
most writer's. Wilkie Collins once per-
formed the marvellous feat Of making
it rise in the west. Rider Haggard, in
"King SoloEon's Mines" relies for the
effective rendering Of one Of his most
thrilling scenes upon an eclipse Of the
new moon.
Coleridge placed a star between the
horns of the crescent moon, forgetting
that to be visible in such position the
star would have to be between the
earth and the moon or, say, 100000
miles away only.
Next to the moon perhaps the sun IS
responsible for more glaring errors
than any single concrete cause. At
the beginning Of certain famous nov
ell, the title Of which few years back
was in everybody's mouth, an invalid
characters room was said to have
been lighted by one window looking
directly toward the east. Yet at the
end Of the book, when the invalid dies,
the author, wishing to make him de-
part this life in food Of glory, suf-
fuses this eastern windowed room with
''the red glare Of the setting SUM-
Kingsley, too, made one Of his heroes
row out into the eastern ocean after
the setting sun. But even this glaring
absurdity has been capped. In novel
published by q well known firm there
occurs the following passage, the scene
being laid on board q big sailing ship:
"'How's the wind" asked the skip
per. .East-northeast,' replied the mate,
glancing at the masthead pennant,
which was streaming bithely in the
direction Indicated" So that in the
world, according to novelists, We
should not only find the sun setting in
the east, but pennants would stream"
against the direction Of the prevailing
wind

REPORT ON COTTON.
A New Feature To Secure Quickly Accurate
Statistics Of the Cotton Corp.

SI6IlSIiSS W .AS SSsS"H SSNS'
Mr.. Joseph T. Stukes, Of Manning,
has been appointed local specla! agent
of the Census Office to collect cotton
ginning statistics for this county, and
we ioin the Government in urging the
ginners to give Mr.. Stukes their
hearty support and cooperation, thus
enabling him to make prompt and ac-
curate returns. We would impress
upon the ginrers the fact that this
agent is sworn officer of the Govern
ment, and that their reports, are Tor
warded as given to him directly to the
Census Office, at Washington, without
passing through the hands of any
middlemen. The information given Is
held as strictly confidential, and the
operations of individual ginners are not
divulged. Upon the joint cooperation
of the cotton growers, glnnerS, and 10.
cal agents must depend the success OF
the Census Office in this inquiry. and
it's ability to render this great service
to the Southern people and to all IN
terested in the cotton staple.
The Census Office has demonstrated
in three annual reports. the fact that
the ginners are the only reliable source
of information as to the volume OF the
annual cotton crop. This is very COM
plimentary to the ginners, who, no
doubt, will feel pride in sustaining
the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest shown
by the ginners, and OF a general de-
mand for more frequent reports
through this source, Congress, in the
act creating permanent Census once,
provided for the collection and publ
cation of these statistics at intervals
during the ginning season. For the
crop of 1902 the Office will issue three
reports: the first two will cover the
quantity of cotton ginned up to and
including October Is and December Is,
respectively; and the final report Will
cover the total quantity ginned from
the growth of 1902.
