In speaking of fogs medical journal
draws some consolation from the fact
that even fogs have one compensating
advantage which has often been over
looked. 1T isl it says, reasonable to
suppose that fog effects a partial
purificati ton of the atmosphere. This is
borne out by the fact that when fog
subsidies the deposits contain the car
bon, sulphur, organic bases and other
injurious and irritating particles which
formerly existed in state of suspen-
sion in the atmosphere"

Baby Suffered Awful From
CONSTIPATION

wish to thank you very much for the
good LAXAKOLA has done for my little
niece, Marion Lurline Bass. She is only
two and one-half years old, and has suf-
fered something awful from constipation.
She has never had what you would call
natural movement. Sometimes we were
almost afraid of commissions, 1t hurt her so
much, and she would be so frightened.
She is awful pleased to think it doesn't
hurt her now, and she will take LAXA
KOLA without a fuss. We are pleased
think II helped her so much.

L. GOURDIN YOUNG'S FIGURES
OF THE SEA ISLAND CROP

Mr.. L. Gourdin Young has just is
sued his annual statement on the sea
island cotton crop. Among other things
Mr.. Young says in his circular:
The crop of l9O2-1903, as reported
above is 1O5,955 bales, being 22,2S1 nales
more than the crop of 19O1-1902, and
1920 bales fore than that of 190O-l301
The largest crop previous to this
was that of 1861. which was 1884,
but the takings by the trade that year
were only 100, 1913 bales. whereas the
total of this crop has gone into con-
sumption, and a part of the stock over
from the previous year, making a to-
tai export of 1O7,927, leaving practically
no interior stock. and only 1904 bales
here and in Charleston, against 1874
bales in 1861. Moreover the average
price of Floridas and Georgias was
about 15c, against 20.13c this season.
In our last annual circular we init
The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-04

mated that there was ample opportu-
nifty for crop of 100000 bales, and
that if prices were not too high it would
all be needed to satisfy the increased
consumption.
1T has come to pass that although
the CROP exceeds the quantity named
by 1856 bales. and is the largest ever
made, it has all gone into consumption
at prices alike satisfactory to planter
and spinner. In consequence of con-
tinuous rain during the harvest, the
crop was dull in color. and there was
an unusually large proportion of the
lower grades, but this was in part COM
pensated for, by the uniformly good
staple of all the grades. In weight the
CarOlinas bag averaged 346 SO, against
BAT. "A pounds last year, and the Flor
ida and Georgia bale p. against
800. 20 pounds. The average price of
Carolinas was about PC per pound.
equal $90.1 per bag. against 26c per
pound, equal $9O.H per bag; that of
Floridas and Georgias 20 .13c per pound
equal $7S.75 per bale. against 2OI5c,
equal SIS. IS per bale"
