Dear Sirs:-During last October suf--

1 consulted my physician, who pre-
scribed for me, but his treatment did
not benefit me. After reading some
Swamp-Root literature, 1 decided to
give it trial. After taking few doses,

one dollar bottles had been taken, had
no pain and was completely cured. 1
have not had the slightest pain in my

perience, can cheerfully recommend
Swamp Root to any one suffering from

Washington, Nov. 8.-The crop re-

Hookworm in Virginia.

If there be any glory to be derived
from the pernicious activity Of that
enervating little organism, the hook
worm, Virginia assuredly can claim
her share of it. DR.. Charles w. Stiles,
government expert, who was the pion-
eer in the discovery Of the worm in
this country, secured his first speci-
mems in Essex county. This scientii-
cally luck find was made in 1902, and
since then the hookworm has had to
combat vigorously with physicians
and others in order to retain his
grip on humanity, but, despite the
odds against him, he has gained
ground at an alarming rate.
The state health department does
not hesitate to admit that he has
prospered and fattened in the old
dominion. Recent Investigations
made by DR.. Allan w. Freeman, as
sistant commissioner, reveals the fact
that in certain sections there were
100 cases within radius of miles
DR.. Freeman stated this morning that
he had reason to believe that there
are 5000 cases in that State. In view
of these facts it will be readily seen
that the department rejoiced when 1t
saw in the papers the announcement
of the fact that John D. Rockefeller
had decided to give vast sum for the
suppression of the hookworm.

Hynotist Unable to Restore Youth

IJuOC1St CuaUlc W 4pOooOao AO0eAA
Somerville, N. j., Nov. 9.-Robert
Simpson, who was hypnotized at a
performance given in the theatre
here by Professor Everton, of New
ark, Tuesday, lies dead in the Somer'
vile hospital, although the hypnotist
is making frantic efforts to restore
him to life.
The hospital physicians, however
declare that Simpson, who was only
sixteen years old, is dead and not in a
cataleptic state, and therefore cannot
be brought back to life.
Unless the boy shows some signs OF
life Tuesday, Professor Everton will
be placed in the county jail here on
warrant obtained by County Prose
cutor John Regal, charging him with
manslaughter.
Simpson was hurried to the hos
pital in an ambulance after Professor
Everton had tried for more than an
hour to bring him out of cataleptic
state. Professor Everton was placed
under arrest at the Hotel Waldorf by
Chief of Police Bells, and taken be-
fore Justice Stephen, who parolled
him in the custody Of detectives In
order that he might go to the Somer-
vile hospital in company with an
other hypnotist and make another
effort to restore Simpson to con-
sciousness.

Most important to the claimants OF
the 100000 held by the dispensary
commission will be the meeting OF
the commission here on Wednesday,
as it will be at this meeting that final
Judgment on the claims will be rem
dered. 1t is hoped to have all Of the
claims finally adjudicated at this
meeting. Most of the claims were
tentatively determined at the several
executive sessions Of the commission
following the last examination OF
witnesses in the supreme court room
q few days ago.
No definite figures regarding any
Of the claims can be obtained, but
enough has gotten out to warrant
the statement that the commission s
announcement of judgments will be
a sore disappointment to several
claimants.
So far as can be learned, the
commission is through with the in.
vestigating end Of it's work, and
hopes to get it's final report to the
legislature in shape some time in De-
cember.- Record.

Threat Of Bread Famine.

New York, Nov. This city faces
a serious bread famine if the 10000
members Of the Journeymen Bakers
and Confectioners' international I'm
ion strike on Monday as they have
voted to do.
At largely attended meeting the
vote to strike was passed and the
general organizer states that the vote
will be ratified by the joint eXecu-
tive board of the bakers unions be-
fore Monday, and that on Monday not
one of the big bread bakeries will be
able to operate.
For many years these factories
have been run on the open-shop plan,
and the vote to strike follows the
failure Of negotiations to make the
shops exclusively union.

TAKES CORN PRIZE.
A Marlboro Youth Outstrips All His
Competitors.

Competitors.
The Bennettsville correspondent OF
The State says the farmers of Marl-
boro county are very proud of the
past as well as the present record
enjoyed by Marlboro. AS will be
remembered, it was our own Capt.
q. J. Drake, of Drake, Marlboro coun-
ty, who few years ago won the
champion prize offered by the Amer
lean Agriculturist for the largest
yield of corn produced on one acre
of land. This corn weighed and
measured by a sworn committee
appointed under government require
ments, the yield being 254 3-4 BUSH
els, which so far has been the largest
yield on one acre not only in the
United States but in the entire world.
Capt. Drake received the $1,000
awarded by the United States gov
ernment. The State correspondent
saw this corn two or three times
while growing, and he was not pres
ent when gathered and measured,
yet he is frank to say that he never
saw so much, since or before while
growing on one acre Of ground.
Last year and year before, B. E.
Moore, of Marlboro county, won the
State prize, the yield last year being
172 bushels on one acre.
The United States government,
through DR.. Knapp, this year organ
lied what is known as the Boys
contest Corn club" in many coun-
ties throughout. the corn growing
States of the United States. About
one dozen boys, ranging in age from
IA to Is years, entered the contest
in Marlboro county. Last Monday
specimens of this corn from various
acres were artistically arranged in
the court house, making q most at
tractive and creditable exhibit.
At $50 p. m. interesting exercis-
es were held in the court house,
speeches were made by Prof. D. N.
Barrow, Of Clemson college, and Mr..
Ira w. Williams, State agent of the
farm demonstration work.
Prof. Barrow emphasized the ne
cessity and Importance of properly
selecting seed and impaired valu
able information as to the growth
and character of the plant. Mr..
Williams explained in a most practi-
cal manner the aims and purposes of
the farm demonstration work and
urged the young men and boys pres
ent to enter the contest next year.
Prof. Barrow delivered the prize
won by the boys in Marlboro county
and each acre of corn was measured
by a specific committee appointed
by the farm demonstration officials
in this State.
Master A. Bascome Usher, of
Brightsville township, received the
$40 gold prize given for the largest
yield on one acre, which was 1921
bushels.
Master Ernest Fletcher, Of
Brownsville township, received the
IS gold prize for the largest yield
after oats-he having raised As
bushels of corn on the same acre.
Mr.. Williams stated that young
Mr.. Williams stated that young
Mr.. Usher had outstripped all COM
petitors from Virginia to Oklahoma,
and would get the free trip to Wash
ington city, and that the government
would pay him 50 per bushel for
Is bushels of his corn. So Marlboro
remains in the front rank, and from
the expression of determination in
the faces of the boys who attended
these exercises, she will continue to
hold the "belt" as the champion corn
growing county in the United States.
