WEATHER AID CROPS.
Last Report for the Bureau for the
Year Issued.

Year Issued.
The weather bureau in charge OF
Section Director Bauer issued Wed.
nesday the final crop report for the
year as follows: The week ending
Monday, October 2ad, had q mean
temperature about four degrees above
normal in the central and western
parts and about normal on the coast.
The extremes were maximum OF
81 at Blsckville on September 25th,
and q minimum of Sc at Florence and
Greenville on September 28th. There
was considerable cloudiness over the
eastern part, but almost continuous
sunshine over the western parts.
There we're no high winds or other
conditions that were damaging to
crops or that interfered with farm
work. ....
With the exception Of trace of rain
over the eastern half of the state, the
week was without precipitation. The
drouth has become intensified over
the central and western counties
where the ground is too hard and dry
for fall blowing and seeding opera
tions, and whers, In many localities,
water Is scarce, with wells and small
streams rapidly drying up. The
weather conditions we're entirely fav-
orable for haying operations and for
gathering corn and cotton, .-...
There has been no change in .condi-
tion of cotton, except that there con.
tinues to be some premature opening.
The entire crop has opened unusually
fast and picking will be finished ear
lier than usual with continued favora-
BILE weather. IN few localities there
is a small to q crop. but for the crop
in general and on sandy lands In par
ticular, t Ie top crop is unimportapt,
and the occurrence of either an early
or a very late killing frost will not
vary the yield materially. The aver.
age of the actual figures from full re.
port on the percentage Of the crop al.
ready picked, indicate that for the
eastern division of the state II per
cent. has been picked; in the Central
division 76 per cent, and in the west,
ern division So per cent. Reports on
sea-island indicate that about 80 per
cent has been picked. At least two
thirds of the unpicked cotton Is ready
to pick, and picking will be practical
~ finished, with continued favorable
weather, by the end of October.
All late food and forage crops are
suffering for rain. Corn is being
housed many localities. Weather

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton. KY, Oct. S0th.-(Special)
1t has long been claimed that I)ia-
betes is incurable, but Mr.. Il. j.
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
l had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful. 1t is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that d.
abetes is incurable. But Diabetes Is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

81 began to use Postum because the
old kind of coffee had so poisoned my
whole system that ! was on the point

warned me that | must quit 1t.
My chief ailment was nervousness

as the old effects of the other kind OF
coffee passed away. 1t did not slim

me weak and nervous as coffee used
to do. Instead of that it built up my
strength and supplied constant vigor

this climate the sacred leaves were

These leaves make friends and cele-

peace. They have given consolation to
the world. They are the companions
of the lonely, the friends of the i'm

mines, of fellers of forests, of sailors
