VIRULENT CANCER
CURED

Startling proof of wonderful
advance in medicine is given by
druggist g. w. Roberts of Eliza

had long suffered with what good
doctors pronounced ineurable can
Ger. They believed his case hope
less until he used Electric Bitters
and applied Arnica Salve, which
treatment completely cured him.
When Electric Bitters are used TO

Senator Hoar voted against the
measure passed by the senate for
the government of the Philippines.
His position was not so much in
antagonlsm of the bill itself as to
the principle that we should gov
ernat all in the islands mentioned.
Senator Morgan spoke for the
measure because be believes that
it is altogether right and proper
thar, as-we have the Philippines
and will never let them 90, we
should make rules to govern them.
When n Republican like Senator
Hoar votes against the bill father
ed by his party, and Senator Nor
gan votes for the bill fathered by
his political enemies, it is about
time to conclude that the Philip
pine question is not strictly a
party question Dallas News.

Regular Bulletin of Condition of
the Crops.

The following IS the weekly hul-
ie'tn of the coudition OF the crops
IN the State issued by Director
Bauer:
The weeks rainfall! was much
below normal, aud consisted Of
many local showers, poorly dis
trlbuted, with numerous points
that bad no rain. The heaviest.
and most needed raius, fell in the
upper Savannah valley and adj
Jacent counties, on the 4th and Tth,
with probably more on the Sth.
The southeastern counties had
quite general rains on the 9TH.
Over the remainder of the State
the rainfall was extremely light.
The drought is becoming serious
over the western half of the State,
where crops have already suffered
impairment, and, although corn
and cotton continue to look well,
they are not as promising as here
tofore, while gardens, pastures,
melons, fruits, and late grains have
been materially injured. There
was hail on the 4th, at many
points, bnt it did no damage to
crops.
The weather was favorable for
cultivation and general farm work,
and especially for harvesting
wheat and oats, which is nearing
completion IN places, but is still
underway at others. Cultivated
crops are clean and we'll worked,
with only one report for the week
of grassy fields.
The general coalition of corn
continues promising, and the ear
liest is tasselling and being laid
by. Later planting looks well, but
is being damaged by cutworms,
budworms, bilIbugs and wire
worms, especially on bottom lands.
Much bottom land still too dry to
plant. Peas are being sown in
with corn.
Cotton is recovering slowly
from the bad effects of the cold
weather of the previous week, and
lice, while still prevalent, are
gradually disappearing The crop
is well cultivated, but needs rain
on red lands, where some lato
planted is not yet up. Blooms
have been motel, and forms are
plentiful. In the western counties
the nights have continued too cool.
Sea island cotton improved during
the week.
! Wheat and oats harvest con
time, but both crops are turning
out poor, except in few local.
ties where both are fairly good,
notably in Clarendon county.
