September 21?tf j - 1C5<20 MAIN STEEr Gained 22 Pounds in 5 Weeks. ! i From the Bj-Stancler, Macomb, 111. Alderman Louis W. Camp, of our city, has quite astonished his friends of late, by a remarkable gain in weight. He has gained 22 pounds in five weeks. Those of his fiiends who do not know the facts of his sickness will read with interest the following. 'T was broken down in health and utterly miserable," said Mr. Camp to our reporter. "I was unable to work much of the time and so badly afflicted with a form of stomach trouble that life was a veritable nightmare. "I tried various remedies, but dur s ing the six months of my sickness I obtained no relief. I had always I been a robust, healthy maa and sick- j ness bore heavily upon me. "About two years ago I was advised ; to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for : Pale People. I purchased one box and received so much beneat that I ; used five more and was entirely 1 cured. I gained twenty-two pounds in five weeks. Since I stopped tak ing the pills I have scarcely had an ache or pain. ILK Interviewing the Alderman. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored me to health and I most heartily recommend them." L. W. Cimp on oath says that the foregoing statement is true. W. W. Meloan, Notary Public. Following is the physician's certificate as to Mr. Camp's present con dition. I am a regular licensed physician of Macomb, McDonough County, III. I have very recently examined Mr. L. W. Camp as to hia general physical condition, and find the same to be all that could be desired, appetite and digestion good, sleeps well, and has all the evidence of being in a good physical condition. Samuel Russell, M D. Subscribed and sworn to before me j this 30th day of September, 1897. W. W. Meloan, Notary Public. Cotton in Egypt. The following facts in regard to cotton growing in Egypt are given a recent bulletin issued by the department of agriculture: The average in cotton is 1,200,000 acres, and as cotton is planted in rotation with other ; crops, or follow only every third or j fourth year, about 4,000,000 acres j constitutes the cotton region which j occupies a breadth of four miles on ; each side of the Nile. One and a j third million acres in the Delta have j been drained during the last ten j years, and there remain 3,000,000 ! more to be drained. In addition to j this a vast reservoir is being built on , the upper Nile to hold its floods, and when it is completed in a few years the area of cultivation will be very largely increased. The cotton crop of Egypt in 1879 was equal to about 500,000 of our bales; in 1895 it was j equivalent to over 1,000,000. In 1890 the equivalent of 100,000 of our bales was imported into this country from Egypt. Our Sea Island and unland seed have been tried in Egypt and j their culture abandoned as unprofita- j ble. Egyptian cotton has been fully ; experimented with here and proved j a failure. The average jield of cot j ton in Egypt is 1,400 pounds of seed j cotton, of which one third is lint, j selling at 8,7 cents. The crops grown j in rotation with cotton are wheat, clover, flax, etc., planted between October and February; cotton, sugar cane, peanuts, etc., planted between March and July; maize, rice, etc, planted July to October. In prepara j tion for cotton the land is ploughed j three times, reaching a depth of thirteen inches. Ploughing is done ! with oxen at 20 cents a day for each , ! animal; total cost of three plough- j ings, ?1. The growing crop does not seem to be ploughed, but it is hoed three times. It is watered eight \ times to a depth of three and a half ! idehes at each watering. No fertili "W. S r, - - Soliets a Share o zers are used, but sometimes ten or fifteen tons of barn yard manure is armlied ner acre. This is bought at r c i 20 cents a ton. A boll worm is very destructive, and a caterpillar that burrows in the ground cuts down the plant so as to necessitate replanting not infrequently. Cotton picking is 20 cent9 per 100 weight; the hand getting thiity to forty pounds a day. The stalks sell for fuel at 82 an acre. Rent is 827 an acre. Irrigation cost 87 an acre. The total cost of planting an acre of cotton is 8^0, and the products sell for 80G, leaving a profit per acre of 820. OBITUARY. Another old landmark has been removed. Zintka Hat man departed this life at his home in Lexington count}-, March 0, 181)8, in the 74th year of his age. When quite a youth his father died leaving a widow and eight small children in such circumstances that the care and support of the family fell heavily upon Zinska who was the eldest child . So nobly did he discharge this duty that he gained the love and esteem of the frieuds and neighbors of his deceased father. As a school boy, be was honest, truthful, studious, and obedient, and always held aloof from the frivolous sports and games of the day. When arriving at manhood, he married Mi6s Annie Iteeder and went to farming without any means except the confidence of the best and ablest men of the community, and this, with his untiling efforts gained for himself and family a nice and com- j ??i;_: ionauie iiviug. In the time that began with 18G0, when the political clouds began to gather thick, and the storms of dissolution and strife raged, I shall never forget how manfully ho stood to the Union until the last ballot was cast which severed our States from the Union. But after the die was cast and the State needed his service he volunteered and joined the 5ill S. C. Civalry, served to the end of the war, and after the surrender took an active part in reconstruction. A few years after this, his wife died, and his second marriage was to a daughter of Rev. D. Kyzer, Susan A., who survives him. In life ho was loyal to the Government and the church. By his death St. John's (Lutheran) loses one of her most loyal members. Peace to his ashes. J. S. H.

At this season your blood Is loaded with impurities which have accumulated duriDg the winter, and these impurities must be immediately expelled. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood Purifier. It is the medicine which has accomplished many thousands of remarkable cures cf all blood diseases. It is what the millions take in the spriDg to build up health and ward off sickness. 21 Prepairing for War. Four car-loads of ammunition for use in the big forts of Sullivan's Island have been received and another supply is expected soon. At Charleston arrangements are being made to sink torpedo mines in Charleston harbor. Some of the material needed has already been received. Work on the fortifications is being rushed. Many of the heavy guns 1 ave been mounted and are ready for action. It is said that orders have been received from Washington to waste no time in getting the forts in shape for emergencies. More troops nave also been ordered there. - M. L. Yocum, Cameron, Pa., says "I was a sufferer for ten years, trying most all kinds of pile remedies, but without success, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve was recommended tome. I used one box. It has effected a permanent cure." As a permanent cure for piles De \\ itt s \\ itch Hazel Salve has no equal. J. E. Kaufmann.

A great deal of "blood medicine" is sold in the spring of the year. The blood, the vigor, the health must, be renewed, with the trees and flowers j and grass.

San Francisco, March 31.?This city and a portion of the State were shaken at 11:43 last night by the most severe earthquake experienced here since 18G8, when several persons were killed. This time, however, no fatalities have been reported, although there were several narrow escapes. Yallejo and Mare Island suffered much damage. The naval hospital was wrecked and the government was mill blown down. Work has been shut down in the navy yard temporally, and the 1,700 employees are idle. Only two of tho buildiugs escaped damage. After the board of survey had made a partial examination of the state of affairs at the Mare Island navy yard today it was announced thf4 the damage sustained by last night's tremble had been somewhat exaggerated. While the survey has not yet been completed the board is of the opinion that the damage will not exceed $150,000. Work has, however, been discontinued and in all probability will not be resumed for several days. The cruiser Charleston, which is in ; dry dock, did not sustain any mater| ial damage, although the bilge j blocks upon which she rested were j disturbed and will have to be reset, j In Yallejo, nearby, the damage was | widespread. Tbe city hall, public j schools and St. Vincent s school suffered more than any others. SevI erai small fires added to the excitement, five lamps beiDg overturned in ono house. ? ...?

Havana, April 1?Captain General Blanco last night called the colonels of the volunteer regiments to the palace and consulted with them. He impressed upon the officers the "necessity for greater union than ever in these troubled times," and recommended that the highest discipline be maintained and that more patriot ism be shown. It is said that the captain general's views were agreed to with enthusiasm, and that the officers pledged to Spain their "lives, fortunes and sacred honor." The Union Constutional says editorially this morning: "The necessity for concentration having disappeared, Ciptain General Blauco's decree properly does away | with it. It says the government will provide manner, and the lying charity of the United States is not needed." The Diario de la Marina lauds the I nor\4iri rroncrol'a Aporpp SOrinO1 vaf/viu ^vu\.iut u uww) j ? Q' The government shows a disposition to relieve the sufferings caused by the war; but it must work patiently and long, owiDg to the fact that the war itself caused more difficulties, and time is required to give strength to the relief measures.'" The Pais also commends the decree. The Spanish warships Yizcaya and Almirante Oquendo left Havana at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Immense crowds gathered on the wharves and cheered the ironclads as they steamed away. Hear Admiral Luis Pastor Landeras, who relieved Admiral Navj arro as Spanish naval commander in I these waters last November, is o^ j board the Yizcaya. A dispatch from Madrid says that the Marquis Lagunaus oue of the wealthiest Spaniards at the capital has offered the pay for an ironclad.

"Disease fastened its j clutches upon her and for seven years | she withstood its severest tests, but j her vital organs were undermined | and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep.

J War asd the Cem Crop. i i Mr. John S. Starrs, of Cincinnati | writes to the News and Courier a; j follows: ! "From what I believe to be iusidc | information, I think war with Spair is inevitable. The threatening con ditions that exist from the 'Maine incident, coupled with the fact that [ Don Carlos is scheming to usurp the : throne of Spain, towards which end his followers are encouraging the war sentiment, gives color to the threatening conditions. I further believe that if war is declared, it will be a j long and desperate one. knowing ! the influence that you have in any j cause that you espouse, I am promptj ed to suggest for the benefit of the I Southern planters, that you encour! age the planting ftf more corn and 1 less cotton, upon the theory that all j cereals will biing good values, while I cotton will sufier if war is declared, j Should it be averted, you will have i done the Southern planters a great deal of good in using the argument I that you can produce through the j existing conditions, by which the j benefits of surplus corn crop and ! limited cotton crop would be natur| ally felt." We do not know what opportuni; ties our correspondent has had of | "inside information," but it connot be j denied that the situation is extremely i critical and that war is imminent. The President has borne himself j with dignity and courage iu the ex| citing conditions of the last few i weeks, and will do what he can to I restrain the impetuous and put of! j the evil day as long as possible.
