DEATH OF MRS. J. C. HUNTER.

Mrs. j. Calhoun Hunter died at
Union, S. c., March Is, 1916.
Mrs. Hunter was Miss Frances FL
mira Aughtry, daughter of Squire and
Mrs. Alfred R. Aughtry, and was
born in the Goshen Hill section of
Union county Jan. %, 1874. During
the war she was graduated from Hols-
ton Female college at Asheville, N.
c., and in 1864, was married to Mr..
j. Calhoun Hunter. In 1881 they
took up their residence in the town
of Union where they resided until
their death, Mr.. Hunter having died
three years ago last November.
Unto the departed were born two
children, Mr.. James E. Hunter, as
sistant postmaster of Union, and Mrs.
l.. G. Young.
In the passing of Mrs. Hunter loved
ones have parted with a most gentle,
sweet and devoted mother, grand
mother and kinswoman.
Friends have lost an estimable and
lovely friend. The community at

son and daughter, are eight grand
children, Mr.. j. E. Hunter, Jr, Miss
Nathalie Hunter, Misses Myra, Mamie
and Carrie Young, Laurens, Jr., and
Calhoun Young, and Mrs. Farr Gil

May it be that they who "have
loved long" have only "lost awhile"
so far a one. f.. 6. Jones.

THAT MORNING LAMENESS

If you are lame every morn
ing, and suffer urinary ills,
there must be cause. Often it
is weak kidneys. To strengthen
the weakened kidneys and avert
more serious troubles, use
Doan's Kidney Pills. You can
rely on this testimony.
Mrs. L. W. Dickey, w. Arch
ST., Searcy, Ark, says: "My
back ached all the time and if
| lay down for awhile, l could
hardly get up. 1t hurt me to
stoop over and when | got up
mornings, | was stiff and lame
and didn't feel the least bit
rested. Ny feet and ankles
swelled badly and | had rheu-
matte pains in my limbs. One
box of Doan's Kidney Pills re-
lieved all these symptoms of
kidney trouble and my back
has been much stronger since"

simply ask for a kidney rem

STATES COTTON CROP
SHOWS HEAVY GAIN
One Hundred and Twenty Mil
lion Dollars Is Estimate
of Arkansas Crop

@-NND SCNAA viz AAioDI l. y
markable cotton season in the
history of Arkansas.
Notwithstanding the ravages
of the boil weevil and the Sc
we're drouth the state has made
more than an average crop, and
will receive for it twice asmuch
as the crop usually brings. This
was done despite the weevil
and the drouth was really an
aid, since it checked the weevil
which was just ready to mi
CRATE.
Last season there were 834,-
600 bales raised in the state,
and the last ginners' report
shows a total of 813,718 bales
ginned up TO date. Careful es-
Inmates are that the crop will
exceed one million bales, ex-
elusive of linters.
1t is estimated that the crop
will yield a total of $120,000,-
900 for the state, in cotton and
seed, about twice she normal
return from the crop. There are
several elements entering into
this situation. The farmers have
abandoned the half-and-half,
the Simpkins, and other short
steaples, and have been plant
ing the best long staple seed
that could be found. The bene-
fit of seed-selection and long
staple has teen clearly demon
strated. The average of long
staple on the market is higher
than ever before. 1t has requir-
ed 200 or 800 pounds more of
long staple to produce a bale
than of the short staple.
While middling cotton has
advanced to 20 cents, there
have been sales of long staple
at 35 cents a pound. Nineteen
bales sold at that figure in Pine
Bluff last week, and an offer
of 81 cents was refused in Lit
tie Rock.
Cotton seed has been selling
at $40 to $50 a ton, compared
with the usual price of $12 to
SIS. When a farmer can get
$500 for a bale of cotton and
the seed, the prosperity of the
state is assured.
The crop was gotten out
much earlier this year tina,
usual, on account of the desire
of the farmers to take advan-
tage of the high prices, and the
killing frost which came the
of October, about a
month earlier than usual. The
frost stopped all late cotton in
the making, although the Wee
vii had done that already in the
bottom lands. The crop has
been rushed to the market as
as it could be ginned,
and there has been a great con-
gestion of the congresses
throughout the state. Even lin
ters, a by-product that ordin-
arilly sells for three-fourths of
a cent, is bringing 7 cents.
The failure of the crop east
Of the Mississippi has also been
a factor. 1t has been estimated
that in Arkansas fields where
the weevll was most prevalent,
and where yield of five
eighths of bale was secured,
had climatic conditions similar
to those across the Mississippi
prevailed, it would have taken
ten bales for an acre.
The following figures show
the increased production ofcot-
ton in some of the counties in
this section of the state, the fig
ures being taken from the gov

Older BUT STRONGER

To DC healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength Of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
nent of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and a medicine TO keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.
