MATES ON CORN AND COTTON
Weather Too Moist Early Part OF
Last Week-Soil In Good
Shape.

Washington, Sept. IA. - The
weather of the past week, as il
affected crops, is set forth in the
national weekly weather bulletin of
the department OF agriculture as
follows:
"As a whole, the weather during
the early part of the week was too
moist and sultry over the principal
corn growing states, and. during the
middle and latter parts 1t was gem
orally too cold for the rapid matur-
ing of vegetation, and some light to
heavy frosts occurred at exposed
points. Considerable rain occurred
over much of these states, and the
soil is now in generally good condi-
tion for agricultural purposes.
I'm the cotton growing states east
of the Mississippi the week gener-
ally was warm and sunshiny. Some
heavy local rains occurred in many
portions of the. districts. but the
average was generally less than the
normal. and conditions were mostly
favorable. West of the Mississippi
good rains occurred in many por-
tions of Texas, relieving somew hat
the severe drought that has pre-
vailed in that state. High tempera-
lures prevailed, there was an abund-
ance of sunshine, and conditions
we're mostly favorable, although
some damage resulted from local
wind storms

TAFT MUST GO TO CHURCH.
Almost Law That Presidents BE
Religious.

Manchester, Mass, Sept. a.
That the president of the United
States IS under practically absolute
compulsion TO go to church every
Sunday, with as much regularity as
though he himself were a minister
or a deacon, and that If he failed to
perform this compulsory duty dire
results would ensue, Is the statement
of the Rev. George A Thayer. of
Cincinnati, widely known as "Presi-
dent Taft's pastor" who is visiting
here.
president Taft has taken more
interest in church matters since he
came into Office" Mr.. Thayer said to-
day, "than he did prior to his cleo
tion. and | am glad to say that his
record ever since has been a good
one. 1t Is necessary for man in so
high a position TO set good exam
Pile.
'~rhe reason for his law-for II
comes next to being law-that the
president must attend church. is not
far to seek. Suppose the presidents
never went to church at all. II
would not be long before all the
church would be up in arms because
the head of the nation was either an
infidel or wholly unfit for his high
position, while the other half of the
church-golng population would think
that II the chief executive did not see

Endorsed by the Constitution.

Every Southerner knows the high
standing of the Atlanta Constitution,
the leading paper in the South. And
the late editor of it, Henry w. Grady,
was one of the South's noblest sons.
Mr.. Grady was renowned for his
frankness in stating facts and he was
Just As severe in condem ming that
which was wrong as he was in prais-
ing what was right. AS resident of
Atlantis he naturally heard of the
work being done in that city by DR..
Wooley for the cure Of persons ad-
dicted to the use of whiskey and OPT
um. MIR. Grady investigated and
when he had satisfied himself that DR..
Woolley's cure was genuine one, he
came out in an article in the Constl-
tuition and said so. He described the
treatment as harmless, cited the fact
that it caused no shock to the nervous
system, no loss of appetite, no severe
purging nor any tendency to collapse
and reported that no case was no rec
ord where any patient had suffered
after effects. He detailed the circum-
stances in two cases treated, in both
of which the patients we're using from
10 to 60 grains Of morphine and from
20 to 25 grains of cocaine every day
and he declared that in 80 days both
cases were discharged-completely
cured. Any one who cares to read
