lie Never lilamed the Booze.
lie took a lottle up to bed,
Drank whiskey hot each night,
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight.
He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues,
Until ho took a bowl or two?
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full of rheumatiz,
His appetite was slack;
He had pains between his shoulders
Chills ran down his back.
He suffered with insomnia,
At night he couldn't snooze,
He said it was the climate?
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down,
At least, that's what he said;
His legs were swelled each mornin??
Ami he often had swelled head.

lit; i?tt.i\ iv;ii "'t"t;i , Willi", wniSKcy,
And if they didn't fuse,
lie blamed it to dyspepsia?
But he never blunted the boo/.e.
He said he couldn't sleep at night,
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake
Till early sunrise beams.
He thought it was malaria,
Alas! 'twas but a ruse;
He blamed it onto everything?
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraiyn^r,
And his kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters
Till at last lie cleaned them out.
Ills legs were swelled with dropsy
Till lie had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it on the doctor?
But lie never blamed the booze.
Then he had the tremens,
And he tackled rats and snakes,
1-irst lie had the fever,
Then he hud the shakes.
At last he hud a funeral;
And the mourners had the blues
And the epitaph caivcd for him
was ?
lie never blamed the booze.

Weekly Crop Summary Of. the
weather Bureau.
Washington, July 25.?The
weekly crop repoit of tho weather
bureau today says:
Although improvements is in.
dicated in parts of nearly all the
cotton States, it is neither general
nor marked. While the staple
has grown rapidly, and is generally
fruiting well in portions of
Georgia, Alabama, Texas and
Missouri, complaints of unsatisfactory
fruiting aro received from
the Carolinas, Mississippi, Alabama,
Tennessee and Oklahoma
and rust or shedding from all
sections, insects are causing
cnnsideralilf I'liinatMi to coLton in
localities in Texas, hut generally
no grant injury is reported. Tho
crop is opening in llic southern
portion of the belt, and picking
is under way in southern Texas.
Diiector Bauer Tells of Condition
of Cotton in South Cniolinn.
Columbia, July 25. ?Following
is the weather crop repo t for the
past week as complied by Section
Director Bauer: Cotton continued
to make rapid growth generally
and has too large a weed and too
little fruit over the greater portion,
while a number of reports
indicate that growth has stopped
and that the plants are blooming
to the top. There are fewer reports
of damage from insects, and
more of rest and spreaeing and of
plants turning yellow. Cotton is
beginning to open in lower Barnwell
county. There is a great
improxement in both old and late
corn, although the former is too
near ripe to be greatly benefited
by the recent rains.
NO FALSE CLAIMS.
The proprietors of Foley's
Honey and Tar do not advertise
this as a "sure euro for consumption."
They do not claim it will
cure ibis dread complaint in ad?
vanced cases, but do positively
assert that it will cure in the earlier
stages and nevor fails to give
comfort and relief in the worst
, cases. Foley's Honey and Tar is
without doubt the greatest throat
, and lung remedy. Refuse substitutes.

inc has been so successful in
curing these brain-wrecking P
diseases that there is every C
reason to believe tliat even the p
most hopeless cases can be
benefited, if not fully restored. a
We will be pleased to refer n
any one thus afflicted to many n
who now enjoy the blessing of ,,
health, after years of hopeless j
suffering. v
"I have a son that had brain fover I I
when two years old, followed by fits of
the worst type, and ho was pronounced
incurable. I spent hundreds of dollnrs
for him, without relief. After about
fifteen years ho became so bad that wo w
sent him to Longclirf hospital for the .]
Insane, at Logan*port, Ind. Ho was I
there nearly three years, but he continued
to grow worse, so wo brought O
him homo July 30. 1002, In an awful
condition. Ho nad lost his mind almost j|
entirely. He liardly knew ono of tho
family; could not oven find his bed; c
was a total wreck. He had from 6 to
10 fits a day. We were urged to try
Dr. Miles' Nervine, and before tho first
bottle was used, wo could see a change
for tho better. Wo have given It to
him ever slnco, and he has had but
two very light spells since last August,
1903, and then lie was not well other
ways. Wo pronounce him cured, as he
can work and go anywhere. If any ono
wishes to ask any questions concerning
this, they are at liberty to do so." T
