The Lexington Dispatch. v Wednesday, September 30,1903. *? ? Afterward. Now doth the mthlees summer maid Gaze proudly o'er her slain And goes anu gets herself arrayed To start the tall campaign. Now doth the wretched summer man Reflect iu solitude On various promises he's made And how to make them good. And summer man and summer maid. Eepent theui of their sins; While, standing just within the shade, How slyly Cupid grins, Ztems from South Fork. To the Editor of the Dispatch:.. "All quiet aloBg the JPotomac tonight." This is the condition here. No news of interest F. rners are all busy gathering cotton and bay. A cotton merchant said in Columbia Saturday that cotton is off and would continue to fall. Why so, was asked. The government report .as to the crop condition is in, and gentlemen, what do you suppose? Why, the cotton crop of the State is quoted at 80 per cent. Well it may be 80 per cent., but it is not in this section, and I have not heard of it being 80 per cent, in any other section of the State from those who ought to know. I have met several friends in Columbia and they were from different sections, Fort Motte, Lone Star, Sandy Bun, Santee, and I live on the Newberry public road and see farmers from the up country every day and they all report the orop a poor one. (Jjfcton in tms section was doing pretty well when the drought set in but it has played havoc with the young cotton and hurt the old cotton pretty bad. Somebody is lying, I don't know who. Well, so it is, a poor farmer works ~ and is urged on and when he gathers his crop these reporters make false returns and the speculator is benefitted, the poor farmer hardly pays expenses, but then he is good hearted, goes to work and tries it over next year. Pea crop is fine and promises a large yield. 1 The nights are cool and the days are getting shorter, simmons are turning and soon the old coon will be on the rampage (looking for a preacher) again.

Re Frost Yet in this State. A tomato plant was received from Johnston by The State a few days ago With the information that it had been killed by frost. Mr. Bauer, the division director of the weather bureau, was interviewed and asked if any frost had occurred in the State this autumn and he answered in Tint's Pills This popular remedy never fails to effectually core Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sick Headache, Biliousness And ALL DISEASES arising from a Torpid Liver and Bad Digestion The natural result is good appetite and solid flesh. Dose small; elegantly sugar coated and easy to swallow. Take No Substitute. P?mssmss^1mmamm th8 negative. After examining, the dead tomato plant Mr. Bauer eaid: "A cursory glance at this shows that it was killed by some blight. Had it been destroyed by mnnl/1 kavo koon an hlaelf An your hat. No frosfc has occurred in this State as the lowest temperature registered daring the recent cold wave was 40 at a point in Pickens county and I am not sure that that was correct, particularly as there is no accurate thermometer there. At a point in the same county a temperature of 48 was registered by an accurate thermometer. "Frost occurs sometimes at a temperature of 42 but only when the weather conditions are exceedingly in its favor. There must be no wind, a clear sky, and the ground must be absolutely dry. During the cold snap there was wind almost all the time. No, I think that this plant was killed by a blight, particularly as certain spots of the disease appear upon it." ? > Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Prof. Lugeon of the University of Lausanne has been studying the population of the valley of the Rhone between Martigny and the Rhone glacier. The statistics show that the right bank of the river between these points has a population of 34,000 while only 20,000 persons live along the left bank. There are two reasons for this difference in the density of population of two banks of the Rhone. One is that the right bank is less hilly and therefore offers better natural conditions for the building of hamlets and towns; but Prof. Lugeon is convinced that a more important influence is exerted by the different degrees of BunBhine enjoyed by the two banks. He has found that along a part of the river banks which present exactly the same topographic conditions the population of the Bide which is most exposed to the sun has from four to five times as many inhabitants as the * other bank, which is in the shadow of the mountains that ward off most of the direct rays cf the sun. With one or two exceptions all the villages have been built on the bank which is most fully exposed to the sun's rays. This influence of the presence or absence of sunlight also manifests itself in the psychic characteristics and the material conditions of the population of the two river banks. On the rigbt side of the river in the sun the population live more at their ease, are more prosperous and presents a degree of civilization more advanced than those of the opposite shore. He calls those who are most favored with sunlight the solar aristocracy and says that they contemplate with a certain disdain the inferior population who dwell in the shadow across the rivAr The people of the village of Recklingen, which occupies both banks of the Rhone, are notably divided into two distinct castes whose origin, in the last analysis, may be attributed to the difference of sunshine to which the two groups are exposed.
