Augusta, Ga, June 6, 1914.
A man or woman who has
suffered for years and finally
finds relief is the most grateful
person that can be found and
and this is proven by the num-
Der who volunteer their state
ments for The Andes Great
Medicines that are being so sue
ccssfully introduced to the Au-
gusta public. The formula of
these medicines are given plainly
on each bottle and bear the Pure
Food and Drug act serial num-
Der on every package which is
a guarantee to the consumer as
to their purity and medicinal
properties. These medicines,
wherever advertised, lead all
others in sales and the cures ac-
complished by them are the mar
vel of everyone. Mrs. Asa
Smith, of 500 McKinne street,
stated before this large crowd
a few nights ago that she had
suffered from catarrhal dcaine ss

Great Medicines with such gooC
results she feels that her hearing
is gradually being restored. Al
so her kidneys and back had
given her much trouble and un-
casiness but after one weeks use

felt better. These medicines are
not cure-alls, said Mr.. Andes
yesterday to a press representa-
tive, but for catarrh, stomach,
liver, kidney or bladder disease,
there is none better before the
public and Andes Great Oil for
rheumatism, stiff or drawn joints,
neuralgia, headache or any pain
has no equal. These great med

MONTH OF MAY DRY
IN STATE OF KENTUCKY

THE month of May was an
unusually dry one in Kentucky.
The crop reports coming to this
Office as of June l.. shows that
there was practically no rain
fall in Kentucky from May 8 to
| June I. Almost every report
speaks of the drouth, but the
damage up to June I, has not
been serious. Since this time
copious rains have fallen in many
portions of the State. The best
rains have occurred in the cen
trail and eastern sections of the
State, and showers over limited
areas have occurred in the west
ern sections.
Wheat cutting has begun in
the southern portion of the State
and the indications are that we
will have a record breaking crop
in Kentucky. Condition is given
at 90 per cent at the beginning
of the harvest and it is now too
late for weather con ditions to
prevent the maturing of a large
yield of wheat of splendid quail
ity. The crop has but one dan
ger to run now, and that is, an
excessive rain fall while in
shock. Rye has held its own
and the condition is given as 90
per cent. This crop is practical
ly made. Another crop that is
made and ready for harvest is
the bluegrass seed crop, which
will be large and of good quality. |
Condition of bluegrass is given
at 90 per cent,
"The corn acreage is given at
90 per cent, while the condition
is stated at 81 per cent. The
drouth to a certain ext mt has
affected both the planting of the
corn and the condition of that
planted. The damage to corn,
however, is probably not very |
great. as the rains, that have fall /.
len since the first of June, will
remedy much of the trouble in
Dictated by the reports. Oats,
however, with an acreage of SO
per cent, has suffered materially |
in condition, the latter dropping
TO "a per cent. A rain would |
help the oats crop some, but this |
can not possibly be a heavy
crop this year.
Tobacco beds have suffered in
measure from the drouth. /
Lack of moisture has prevented
the transplanting of plants at +,
the proper time, and there are ;
complaints of the plants getting
too large for transplanting. This
damage, however, can not be
considered as very serious. Con-
dition of Burley tobacco is given
at 90 per cent, and that of dark !
tobacco at 81 per cent. Cut
worms are doing considerable !,
damage to both corn and tobac-
co.
alfalfa and orchard grass are !.
both given at SO per cent and
have not suffered as much from
the drouth as young clover and
timothy, which show con dition
of Is per cent. Potatoes have
suffered materially, dropping to
a condition of "a per cent. Gar
den conditions are given at 80
per cent. The prospects for
large fruit crop remain good, but
the strawberry crop was cut to
about 90 per cent of crop as
the result of the dry conditions
at maturity. Indications are for
a large blackberry crop, this be-
ing given at 90 per cent; grapes
at 81; apples, 70; peaches, 81;
pears, 72, and plums, 7S per cent.
"AlI live stock is in good con-
dition comparatively speaking,
with lambs beginning to show
the effect of short pastures. Con-
dition of horses is given al os
per cent; cattle, o.; hogs, 81,

To the Editor of the Palladium-The
story in your paper of the second inst,
with the headlines over it "Bertsch
Backs Earl Crawford Against Bosses"
Is incorrect and a misrepresentation
of the facts.
The writer did not publicly endorse
the assertions made by Crawford" He
was not given an enthusiastic ova-
tlon. In fact, his statements were
received in incomplete silence. He did
not say that "Mr. Crawford's remarks
were incomplete" or that he had a
sequel to them" He did not say that
inasmuch as Mr.. Crawford has made
these assertions they must be the
truth"
The facts were as follows: The
writer had spoken at the Slack meet
ing few evenings prior to the Craw-
| ford meeting In the course of his re-
marks he referred to the illegal pass
age OF house bill No. 423, about which
we have heard so much in this cam
paign. The writer had stated, in his
speech at the Slack meeting, that in
his judgment the signing of the bill
was simply a mistake or oversight,
due to the method of handling such
matters and rush of business at the
eleventh hour in the legislature; that
such things have no doubt occurred in
many legislatures; that the opponents
were making a mountain out of a
mole hill' in order to detract attention
from several good laws that were en-
acted, such as the vocational educa-
tional law, the public service commits
sion law, inheritance tax law, etc !;
, that regardless of who would be elect
ed this fall no doubt rules would be
adopted in the legislature to make it
impossible for such thing to be re-
peated Now, after Mr.. Crawford had
finished his speech more than half the
! audience had left the hall, and Mr..
Judkins, who is the Progressive candi-
date for the legislature, made a short
speech, in the course of which he re-
ferred to the writer's statements at the
Slack meeting. Mr. Judkins said that
the passage of house bill No. 423 was
no "mistake or a little irregularity."
Mr.. Judkins then gave history of the
failure of the original bill to pass, and
stated that the substituted bill finally
passed was forgery.
The writer got the impression from
Mr.. Judkins' statement that he had
understood the writer in his state
ments at the Slack meeting as trying
to excuse and defend the person guilty
of manipulating the bill through it's
, illegal passage; therefore, at the con-
clusion of Mr.. Judkins' speech the
| writer asked permission to explain his
statements at the Slack meeting to the
few people remaining in the hall, near
ly all of whom were home people"
The writer then explained that he
did not intend at his speech at the
Slack meeting to excuss the person or
! persons guilty of manipulating the
passage of house bill No. 423. that he
admitted frankly that they ought to be
put in the penitentiary and that he

Of the partial quarantine established
over the Union stockyards depends up

The writer also stated that he was

that he considered him honest and a
man of high integrity; that the per-

about Mr.. Cook and that presumably
they know Mr.. Cooks defense; there

who was right in the controversy, and
furthermore, that the writer would ad-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 9.-The
Boston Braves, pennant winners in the
National League, and the Philadelphia
Athletics, the American League cham
pions, clashed today in the first game
for the worlds baseball championship
for 1914. The day is warm and hu-
mid, splendidly suited for fast base
ball. :
In the preliminary practice the
Braves hit the ball wickedly, and Deal,
who replaced Smith at third, felded
faultlessly. The stands are crowded
to capacity, and it is estimated that
twenty-five thousands persons passed
through the gates into American
League park, where the first game is
being played. Hundreds, unable to
obtain seats, =, were turned away at
the park entrance.
