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.
There is a straw ride proposed to
come off when old Luna puts on her
new grab of beauty. Your humble
scribe, proposes to take a hand and

Elizabeth College.
Charlotte, N C., September 23 ?
Elizabeth college opened with the
largest attendance in its history, its
student body represent 14 States,
three being Northern States.
This is the seventh session of this
institution and its rapid public recognition
as represented in its number
of students from so many different
States shows that there is a demand
in the South among young women
for^advanced collegiate work.

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.

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."

Blessing of Sunskine.
New York Sun..
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.
Doctors Could Not Kelp Her.
<%I had kidney trouble for years,"
writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of
Shelton, "Wash., 4;and the doctors
could not help me. I tried Foley's
Kidney Cure, and the very first dose
gave me relief and I am now cured.
I cannot say too mucn for Foley's
Kidney Cure." The Kaufmann Drug
