Tired, nervous and irritable, the
mother is unfit to care for her chill
dren, and her condition ruins the child's
disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
she no doubt is suffering with back
ache, headache, bearing-down pains or
displacement making life burden.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. 1t strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dis
placements and Irregularities.

View of Happiness,

have been trying to figure out a
general condition of happiness, and
reach the conclusion that it consists
mainly in the ability to march with
ones own generation, neither deplor-
ing the progress the generation makes
nor grumbling because it doesn't make
more, says Frank Putnam in the Ma
tional Magazine. We can understand
best the men and women Of our own
age, or near it. DR.. Osler spoke truth
when he said that most men cease to
be receptive to new ideas after 40;
hence our elders in the SOS and Cos
and 70s, say, who have ably guided
the affairs of the world during the
decades Immediately ahead of us will
often seem to us to nave less rapidly
than we think they should, toward
new industrial conditions. And the
generation Immediately behind US
the restless chaps in their 20s, are
putting more pressure upon us from
the rear than we are able to believe
is wholly justified.

RECORDS OF THE PULSE. RATE.
instrument Shows Hearts Action Dur

Instrument Shows Hearts Action Dur
Ing Muscular Work and After.
a recent publication Of the Univer-
sity of Michigan describes an instru-
ment for securing continuous gra-
phic record Of the pulse rate in man
which afford valuable indications Of
the hearts work. The records showed
that the commencement of muscular
work is followed almost Simultaneous
ly by marked acceleration of the
pulse In fact, this modification Of the
pulse rate is observed in the next
heart cycle after the work begins.
In typical cases there are three we'll
marked stages-a primary rise, a
period Of sustained acceleration and a
secondary rise. Similar stages of de-
crease in rate occur after the work
stops. The rapidity of the pulse dur
ing work depends not only upon the
amount Of work done, but much more
upon the manner in which it is done.
Speed and resistance are factors re-
curing separate consideration and of
these two speed has the greater in.
fuence.
These records show that while mus
cular work may not appreciably re-
quire the expenditure Of bodily force
1t Immediately reacts upon the heart
and that conversely cessation Of mus
cular exertion is an immediate relief
to the heart.

..SuU1H CAROLINA. CROP BuLLE;iN
Weathes Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

The South Carolina section Of The
climate and crop service of the De-
partment Of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin of weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The mean temperature for the week
ending Monday, September 18th, was
slightly below normal, due to very
cool weather early in the weel: and
wcrm at its close. The extremes OF
temperature were maximum OF 96
degrees at Blackville on the 18th ant!
a minimum of 81 degrees at Cheraw
on the 18th. There was slightly less
than the normal amount Of bright
sunshine over the southern and east
ern counties and about normal amount
in the ceutral and western counties.
There were numerous showers over
tn. eastern :nd southern counties
and very little rain, in many places
none, over tho western enes. Exces-
sivc rainfall occurred in Florence and
Darlington counties, in the latter
there were 5 inches recorded in "a
hours. Lands were washed, streams
flooded and bridges carried away, and
crops were seriously damaged on up
lands as we'll as low lands. Gener-
ally the weeks precipitation was
needed and proved beneficial. Over
the western and northern counties the
ground is very dry and late crops
are suffering for moisture. Streams
and wells are becoming low, and it
is too dry Tor fall plowing and for
seeding oats.
Frequent showers interrupted farm
work along the coast and to a lesser
degree in a few interior southern
counties, while the weather was fav-
orablc for continuous work over the
greater portion Of the State.
There was a slight deterioration in
the condition of cotton due, mainly,
to premature opening caused by rust
and drought, On sandy lands The
crop is nearly al open and most OF it
picked while over the State generally
it is opening fast. Growth and fruit
age have stopped, but this is i'm
material as what fruitage would be
taken on after this time would not
mature. Caterpillars have appeared
in Berkeley county on cotton, which
is the only report Of damage by in
sects this week.
Late corn is in need of rain. There
is slight deterioration of minor crops
due to want Of moisture. Over the
western pats and slight improve
ment in The eastern portions. Fall
truck has improved, and recently
plantc!. seeds are terminating well.
Rice harvest made good progress.
Much hay and other forage was saved

LIGHTING LORE.
ACETyLENE EXCEL5 AS AN ILLU.
MINANT.

Gas For Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities aud Large Towns, Now in Gen.
oral Use In the Country.
The satisfactory lighting Of suburban
and country homes requires that the
means used shall be convenient, safe,
economical and furnish brilliant, pen
etrating, effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are not
the characteristics of the candle or
kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were
the only feasible means of producing
light for domestic use in the rural dis
tricts.
For generations there was crying
need, a yearning for something better
which was not satisfied. a few years
ago deiverance came in the shape OF
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple appll-
cation OF water. the gas Acetylene is
derived. Acctylene meets all the re-
quirements fully and admirably and is
being generally used.
Common lime and carbon in the form
of coke or coal are the raw materials
Which, fused i'll an intensely heated
furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and
there is 10 difficulty in obtaining 1t IN
any part of the country.
The machine into which the Calcium
Carbide is fed and from which the
Acetylene is distributed through the
building to be lighted, is but little lars-
er than a thirty-gallon milk can, and
Of the same general form. 1t is easily
and cheaply installed, either in the Gel
lar o. in an outbuilding.
The light from burning Acetylene is
exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. It does not taint the air nor
strain the eyes, and is not objection
able in any res:ect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

Says Hold Cotton.

Mr.. E. D. Smith, State president
of the Southern Cotton Association,
has given out an interview in which
he said:
~ am just back from a trip in the
eastern section of the State and find
that all Of the cotton is practically
open and in some sections gathered.
The out turn is far below what was
anticipated before picking began.
There is no top crop at all, and the
entire picking with the force Of hands
now available, will, according to the
statement Of the best posted farmers,
be completed entirely by the 18th of
October.
"The out turn Of the lint from the
seed is shorter than it has been in
years.
~ wish to call attention to the
farmers Of this State to the govern
ment report issued this week, in which
it is said that there was deterioa-
ton on sandy lands, but that the clay
lands were green and growing. This
will give some idea of the misleading
statements that arc sent in officially
and unol1icially to the trade, which
help to acprcss the market temporari-
ly.
"I have Travelled over the entire
Piedmont section with the exception
Of some few patches too small to be
worthy Of note. There is a univer-
sally arrested development Tile
squares have been shed, the leaves
are yellow, and the condition Of the
cotton generally is no better than that
in the lower section Of the sandy
lands.
"Reports are coming in that the
farmers are selling thcil cotton re-
gardless of the price, which is also
untrue. l am in a position to give a
better estimate of the South Carolina
crop, I presume, than any other one
man. hope that I am honest enough
and fair minded enough and truthful
enough not to attempt to deceive my
self or those who have placed conf
dence in me, or trade at large; and I
unhesitatingly say that from the pres
ent indications, this is the smallest
crop that has been mrde on the same
acreage in four or five years. The fin
al out turn will prove what I say,
