James 7. Ellis
Run Down and
Killed by Auto.

The friends of Mr.. J. G. Ellis, Of
this city, sympathize with, him on
account Of the sudden death of his
brother, Mr.. James T. Ellis, which
occurred in Greenville on last Satur-
day, his death resulting from his
being run over by an automobile
driven by Mr.. Sublett, a Methodist
minister. Mr.. Ellis was in the street
talking with a customer on a busi-
ness matter, and did not see the ap-
preaching automobile, and in some
way was struck by it and knocked
down, suffering serious wounds from
which he later died..
Mr.. Ellis was a son of the late T.
]. Ellis of Hodges, and made his
home at the, latter place for many
years. About twelve years ago he
moved to Greenville, where he has
since been in business as a merchant.
His body was brought to Hodges
Monday and laid to rest in the village
cemetery along with his kindred who
preceded him to the grave. He is
survived by his wife and several chill
dren.

Cotton Crop
Report Issued
For July 25th.

The government report on the con-
dition of the cotton crop issued yes
terday, and covering the crop to
July 25th, gives the condition as
1913 average in the cotton states, as
compared with 1853 a year ago, and
a ten year average of 7S and frac-
ton, indicating that the crop just
now is not promising. This is the
lowest August report issued in four
teen years except for the year 1909,
when the report showed an average
of 71.9, and in which year there was
a crop Of 1861, 1000 bales.
Cotton jumped on the government
report, the first call in New York
showing a gain Of some thirty
points.
Unless weather conditions improve
very shortly and the cotton fields are
cleared of grass, the chances are
that there will be further advances
in the price. Everything depends on
the ability Of the farmers to clean
the crops, and on the weather condi-
tions.

and for this reason millions of dol
lars have been made by unscrupulous
quacks, and sellers of patent medi-
cines. The only cure for the disease
is rest in bed when there is tempera-
ture, sleep in the open air, taking
an excess of nourishing food, such as
milk, eggs, meat, etc. Exercise pre-
scribed by a competent physician,
and not too much exercise. Care.
full attention to personal hygiene and
the cure of intercurrent diseases

The State Board of Health wishes
to disseminate the above knowledge.

may prevent those with whom they
come in contact from contracting the
