Clancy was new to the circus bust

Both Rawlings and Wells had de-

He was very polite, low-voiced
chap, about thirty, smooth shaver,
dark, with slow, boyish smile and a
steady eye. The show people liked
him at sight, and within a week re-
spected him. He did not yell at them
nor use large language. AS Murray
expressed it after a personal expert

state board of agriculture, and is as
follows: THE dry weather through.

mppths ago, has done far more good

greatly improved the condition of the

damage is not serious. Late sown

necessarily a serious damage, as /

4 MOST UNHAPPY CAT.
Everything and Everybody in Conspir-
acy to Make Him Miserable.

Nebuchadnezzar was the unhappiest
cat in Christendom. and there was
some reason for it. He felt very much
as if he were imprisoned in wire
cage, just like the fool canary bird
And that bird was part of it. Hay
ing an acute sense Of hearing, the
song of this feathered nuisance dis
turbed Nebuchadnezzar to the bottom
OF his being. In plain, unvarnlshed,
up-to-date English, it made him sore.
Time after time he'd tried to get
that bird, but they'd made the cage
strong enough to keep tiger out,
and the last time some one caught him
climbing up, and welted him with a
barrel stave.
Ten grandma was so blamed deaf
that it was an outrage. Nebuchadnez-
Ear ragged about it. She had slammed
the pantry door on his tail, and when
he remarked bitterly about it, she
thought someone was calling her and
left him there.
Then underneath the refrigerator
was the incest place to sleep. SThey
had a dishpan put under the refrigera-
tor to catch the dripping ice water,
and in summer time all cat had to DO
was to curl right up against it and
sleep in peace.
Then they got careless about the
pan, and one night it overfowed and
deluged him, giving him a bad cold,
and making him so hoarse he couldn't
attend the annual concert of the, Noe
turnal Felines' Back-fence Joy Club.
and he had been counting on going.
Nebuchadnezar had other griefs,
too. How was he to know that milk
in a crock on the table was different
| from milk in a saucer on the floor
It wasn't right to hit him with a pan
when he made such mistake.
Altogether, Nebuchadnezzar was
unhappy. He sulked. He loafed about
and got stepped upon, and was gener-
ally so disagreeable that they decided
he needed a tablespoonful of castor
oil. And he got it.
But they paid for it, confound them!
Nebuchadnezzar bit and scratched,
and the man who had the spoon said
things he ought never to have said in
the presence of children, and wiped
the blood off his hand on his best
trousers.
But even this didn't make Nebuchad-
nezzar happy. He went back in the
yard and lay down under the goose
berry bush and wished he were dead.
! But shucks! What's the use of a cat
wishing that? If he got his wish, he'd
have to get eight more.-Galveston

Scores of Newberry people can tell

Many a happy citizen makes public
statement of his experience. Here is
a case of it. What better proof Of

ment?
NJ. NJ. Graham, Newberry, S. c.,
says: II used Doan's Kidney Pills
and they did me so much good that
I do not hesitate to recommend them.
Ny back ached, particularly at night
and I was often unable to sleep
we'll. The pain seated itself across
the small of my back and made it
impossible for me to assume amy
position that was comfortable. The
kidney secretions contained sedi-
ment and sWere so frequent in pass
age that I had to arise several times
at night. The various remedies I
tried, proved Of no avail and I had
about given up hope of ever being
cured when T heard Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. I procured box at W.
E. Pelham & Sons Drug Store and
decided to try them, although I did
not think they would help me. I
was agreeably surprised, however, as
they went directly to the cause Of
my trouble and effected cure. I

70 Bull New Cr0p.

20 Bull New Crop.
! Il is understood in the trade, how
ever, that the operators who have
gained such prestige on the bull side
of the market will now turn their at
tention to bulling new crop months.
They have issued a circular, outlining
their reasons for expecting higher
prices but that this action on their
part was not unbiased was naturally
suggested as any statement tending
to enhance the value of the new crop
would make better market for wind
ing up the odds and ends of the old
and for disposing Of the large supply
of spot cotton still supposed to remairl
in their hands.
AS a preliminary to the deal which
eliminated in such a sensational ad-
vance today, the bull leaders began
taking up cotton on contract in
March. BY the end Of March the price
had advanced to the 15-cent level
There was a period Of irregularity
during April and many traders be-
lieved that so much cotton would be
delivered to the bulls on May contracts
that it would break their hold on the
situation.
Government Helped Bears.
At this time proceedings Instituted
by the department of justice encour-
aged spectators on the short side but
notwithstanding the fact that more
than 100000 bales were brought here
for delivery in May, the bulls took ev-
erything offered and by the end of May
contracts were still holding around
the 15-cent level, after having sold at
nearly Is cents for May in the middle
of the month.
During June not much cotton was
delivered but in July the bulls re-
ceived over 100000 bales. Thus far
this month it is estimated they have
received between $4,000 and $4,000
bales. This cotton has been shipped
cut CT New York almost as fast as It
has been brought here and according
to official figures today there remains
available in the New York stock only
$50 bales.
Opinions as to whether the bulls will
extend their operations into the new
crop months are conflicting. Some
think that the old crop campaign will
be carried throughout September at
any rate, but as the new crop season
opens on next Thursday and the new
crop cotton is now moving rapidly
from the Southwest, the weight of the
new maturing crop must be figured
upon.
