From the Low Price Of Cotton to
the High Cost Of Living.

Senator E. d. Smith is q wonderful man.
The farmers OF the state, recognizing in
him one who was the champion Of high
priced cotton, sent him to the National
Legislature to investigate for them the
cause and if possible to remove the cause
Of low priced cotton.
After reaching the national Legislature
and taking part in the dignified delibera-
lions of that body, the Senate, recognizing
in him a champion {. low priced living,
placed him on the committee to investi-
gate the cause of the high cost of living
and if possible to remove the cause OF
high priced living.
Thus the Senator has a most delicate
duty to perform. He must keep cotton
up and at the same time he must keep
corn and fatbacks down-a very delicate
sensitive task.
But the Senator isa wonderful man and
should he fail he will give as p~lansable
reason for such failure and that suits US
almost as we'll as success.

Blood on the Sum-.

Speculation has been rife as to the cause
OF the unusual atmospheric conditions
which have existed for several weeks.
The light Of the sun and moon is obscured
by smoke, dust, water, vapor or something
to such an extent that even the sun scarce
ly makes a shadow at noontime.
In addition to this phenomenon sundry
persons have noticed that a certain dust
has fallen on the tops Of houses, especially
noticeable on tin roofs, that closely re-
sembles sulphur. Some have collected
this dust. applied fire to see If it was sui
phur but 1t did not burn. The explanation
OF the dust is that it is pollen from vari-
GUS trees which are in bloom just now.
Just what causes the Indian summer
atmosphere Is uncertain. 1t is probably
due to several causes, chief OF which is
that there has been no precipitation to
clarity the atmosphere or wind to disperse
the collection of dust and smoke. That the
hazy condition Of the atmosphere is due
70 volcanic origin is not at all probable
although 1t Is possible. Sir Robert Ball
In writing OF the awful eruption Of Kraka-
toa said that the volumn of material blown
Into the air was sufficiently dense to OBJ
scure the coasts Of Sumatra, that the
darkness was more intense than the dark
est midnight. The fire dust assembled to q
height OF seventeen miles, where it at ono
came to be the sport Of the winds and
swift air currents.
. The smoke and dust from the volcano
immediately began q series Of trips around
the world. In three days it had crossed
the immense expanse of the Indian ocean
and was crossing the continent of Africa,
Tor two days more 1t was making its way
across the Atlantic ocean, for a couple of
days over the forest Of Brazil and there It
was on It's home stretch across the Pacific
ocean, making the home run in just 10
days. This was at the equator, which
would indicate a speed of nearly 1000 miles
per day or 81 miles per hour, This speed
Is probably a normal speed for the upper
air currents. The eruption of Krakatoa
took place In August Of 1888 and beautiful,
twilight and afterglow pictures were seen
late In the fall caused by this eruption.
Probably some remember the wonderful
tWtights Of that fall and winter. The ann
Ii at their rising and setting as.
sumed Unusual colors. Strange halos and
coronas were observed around both. The
SUI at times assumed a blush hue ind.
eating clearly that the smoke and ashes
rom the volcano interviewed. The moon
LOOK on all eolors, from that of q ripe
cheese to a new tin plate.
While 1t Is possible that the present
loesy state Of the atmosphere could be
que to volcanic eruptions 1t is not at all
hkely. Mount Aetna, however, is not far
from this latitude and II the smoke Of the
crater should be blown into the upper
atmosphere 1t could reach South Carolina
within three days.
some OF the colored people hereabouts
say that there is blood on the moon and
that the comet Is the cause of it all.

THEY GROW HAIR
Certain Ingredients, if Properly Com
bined, Stimulate Human Hair
Growth

Resorein is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
naphthol is II most powerful, yet alb
solutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter, and creates a clean, healthy
condition.
Pilocarpine, although not coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well es-
tablished for its power TO restore natural
color TO human hair.
BoraX, because of its well-defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has
soothing, healing and nourishing in
fluence. Alcohol is indispensable in
medicine because Of its antiseptic slim
ulating and preservative qualities
Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
are compounded in peculiar form, and
we believe it is the most effective remedy
known to medical science for scalp and
hair troubles generally. We personally
guarantee ii to eradicate dandruff and
seal Up irritations and TO grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots is bare of
hair, providing of course there is life
and vitality remaining in the hair roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair TO
try Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic. If it does
not remove dandruff and promote a
growth of hair TO the satisfaction of the
user, we will withoutquestion or bubble
return every cent paid us for it. This
guarantee is printed on every package.
1t has effected most satisfactory results
in SO out of 100 cases where put to
practical test.
ReXall 1893" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular different
from anything else we know of for the
purpose for which it is recommended.
We urge you to try IL at our entire risk.
Certainly we could offer no better
guarantee. Two sizes, so cents and
S1.00. Sold in Bedding only at our
