OUR ENoRMOUS EGG CROP. Over Forty-three hlaIion Crate.s Are ( Produce1d Adnually. ( IIn Foe taoin uio,- Maa zi . ) The egg and poultry earning of the Uuite I States for onet rexeat ve r amouUt to $230,00. - 000. Such an amount is sn ciently aizing as it stands, but: you don't get its full significance: until you study the relative finan cial value of other "industries." We fiud, for instance,that the totil value of the gold, silver, wool and sheep produced in America duringz the year in questiun w.s $272.434 ,15. The sugar pro duc tion of th 3 country the same year: was but $20,000,000. That part of the wheat crop used at home, which many consider the most valu tble of all our agricultural: product<, was worth $229,000, 000. The great Am-rican hog, as consumed at horno and abroad,: brought $186,529,035. The value of the oat crop was $78,934 900. Potatoes grown in the United States were valued at nearly as large a sum as were the oats. The product of tobacco plaiita tions was estimated to bo worth $35,579,225. Cotton, the de throned king of staples, could. show only $259,161,640, as against the magnificent earning of its feathered rivAl. The crop of flax, timothy, clover, millet, and cane seeds, broom corn, castor beans, hay, straw, and so forth, couldn't, all told, eome within a measur able distance of many millions of the poultry earnings. The hen's eggs produced in this country annually would fill 43,127,000 crates, each of the latter holding 360 egg,; also, a train of refrigerator cars to carry these eggs would be nearly 900 miles long. Furthermore, it would take 107,818 such cars to make up this train. New Cure Fcr Cancer. All surface cancers are now known to be curable, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. Jas.

The exhibit of the prosperity in South Carolina made in The State of last Sunday is one that might cause anyone to be im pressed with the wonderful prog ress South Carolina has made during the past 40 years-and she is only a type of all the southern States. Forty years ago she was pros trate, without one industrial en terprise, or bank lef 4. She strictly started then to build from the bottom, and it is marvelous what her own people have done. In addition to the numerous varied manufacturing industries extend ing from the mountains to the seaboard, our people have built up their cotton factories, until this State is the leading cotton manufacturing State in the south, and second only to Massachusetts in the unicn. They have built up their banking interests, until every town. of any kind of pre tensions has one or more banks, and the deposits in these banks have inc'eased from nothing to $28,173,940. And all of this is the work of our own people. We may reasonably ask where can be found any people who have done or can do mnore?-Aiken Recorder. Spent tlore rhan $1000.
