WEATHER AND CROPS.
Cotton Suffering Less From Drought
Than Other Crops.


conditions as complied by Section Di
rector Bauer:
The temperature during the week
ending 8 a. M, June 26sh, averaged
four degrees per day above normal.
The extremes were a maximum OF 100
degrees at Florence on the 23:d, and a
minimum Of IS degrees at G1eenvi1le
on the 22nd. Thsre was more than an
average amount Of bright sunshine.
Although there were DO destructive
wind storms, yet there were fresh to
brisk winds each day which, being
hot and dry, had whitening effect on
all vegetation, and caused the ground
to dry out very fast.
There were scattered showers on
several days during the middle OF the
week, most numerous In the extreme
westeren and northwestern border
counties, and widely separated in 9th
er parts. By far the larger portion OF
the state had no rain. The showers
were heavy in parts Of Ooonee, Barn
well and Florence counties and were
generally light elsewhere. There is
urgent need Of general rain In all
parts Of the state, though the drought
is most severe in the central ccuoties,
where the deficiency since the first OF
June amounts to from two to over
three inches, there having occurred
DO beneficial rain during this month.
In many places the ground mas become
baked and hard and unavoidable.
Farm work made rapid pre- gress dur
ing the week where the soil was fit Tor
cultivation, and practically all fields
have been rid OF grass and weeds and
are in better condition than at any
time this season.
Cotton is suffering less from the
drought that other crops, and made q
general Improvement, although the
plants continue small and are growing
slowly. Cotton has now a healthier
color, and Is fruiting normally with a
marked increase in the area from
which blooming is reported. Tie i'm.
provement is confined to cotton on
heavy soils, while on sandy lands the
crop continues poor and unpromising
and in many places lousy, and the
plants have sichly appearance and in
a few sections are shedding their low.
er leaves. Sea island cotton Is in good
condition, but has begun to wilt in
places.
Corn is suffering for rain, and early
corn Is very poor; later paintings are
better, but will soon deteriorate un-
less it rains. Most OF the March plan
ings have been laid by. Worms con-
tinue destructive in the western coun-
ties. Tobocco leaves are ripening and
some OF the lower ones have been
stripped, cured and marketed. Wheat
and oats harvest is now finished. Tide
water rice is doing well; June plant
ings in the GEORGETOWN district are
coming up to fairly good stands. Gar
dens doing poorly. Shipments OF
peaches are heavy from the Ridge
section. Cantaloupe shipments have
begun, and Waternelons will be mar

Belle Wood, a young woman living
near the Reichert hut, told Chief OF
Detectives Crawford Of meeting Hill
that night going for a bucket OF beer.
She declares that Hill called out to
her:
You had beester watch out for
the old woman tonight.
Both these incidents Hill denies
He has been arrested twice before on
the charge Of drunkenness. His
mother, who lives near the scene Ct
all the murders ana attacks, says that
he has periodical attacks Of violence,
which she attributes to bis having
been hurt in the head when a child.
During these attacks he had threat
ened to kill her and shoot his father.
On this account he has lived away
from the rest OF the family for a long
time.
That is all there is to lend force to
the suspicion that Peter Hill is the
mysterious murderer Of Lovers
Lane" Students Of such crimes do
not believe they are ever committed
by a person of Hill's description. The
actual murderer is too persistent, too
pal 1tial to yoang girls for victims, too
cautious for one who is simply the vic
tim OF periodical mania resulting from
an old injury to mis- head.
The weapon is found-the brick In
its wrapping OF carpet. Who devised
that weapon? Who has used it in
such a consistently peculiar manner?
All that Cincinnati suburb is exercised
over these questions Lovers

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PiNKKAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable Gem.
pound Cures when Doctors Are PowerIess

A woman is sick some disease peculiar
TO her sex is fast developing III her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystfics the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure. the disease? Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very EN- EMBARRASSING to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined to step in and help her sex.
Having bad considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice. years ago great
army of her fellow beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training.
No physician in the world has had
such training, or has. such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pink ham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con.
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseasek
