Report of Condition of Crop* Through
out the State.
Columbia. May 30.—The first half
of the week ending Monday, May 29th,
'is mm-h cooler than usual; the lat-
t<’,- half had nearly normal tempera
ture. There was a harmful deficiency
in sunshine. High easterly winds pre
vailed generally, though the winds
were light at the close of the week.
Light frost was reported from Chero
kee county on the 22nd and 23rd.
There were from four to six days
with rain, and in places the precipi
tation was excessive, notably in Dar
lington and Chesterfield counties;
lands were badly washed and bottom
lands flooded. The weekly amount of
rain was largely in excess of the nor
mal, and at Oheraw over five inches
were noted. The rainfall was alnnit
norma! in the central counties, but
the ground was kept wet so that only
from one to three days plowing and
cultivation were practicable. Hoeing
made better progress.
Farm work was further delayed
and is backward, with many fields
very foul with grass and weeds, and
there is a continued scarcity of farm
laborers in all parts of the State, so
Inal the grassy fields are becoming
a serious menace to crops
The worst disease the world has ever known, and the greatest
scourge to the human race, is Contagious Blood Poison. One drop of
the virus of this loathsome disease will pollute and vitiate the purest
and healthiest blood, and within a short time after the first little sore
appears the system is filled with the awful poison; the skin breaks out
in a red rash, the glands of the groins begin to swell, the throat and
mouth become ulcerated, the hair and eyebrows drop out, and often the
entire surface of the body is covered with copper-colored splotches, pus
tular eruptions and sickening-looking sores and abscesses. Many a
man has been cut down in the prime of life, or his health so impaired by this vile disease
that usefulness is destroyed, and he becomes a burden to himself and an object of pity to
rest q£ mankind. Contagious Blood Poison is the most annoying, humiliating and
degrading of all diseases. It is as treacherous and elusive as the serpent. Under the

your blood is tainted with this awful virus you are a source of infection and danger to all |
who come in contact with you, and your children will carry in their veins the same dreadful j
contagion. As long as there isTife in the serpent there is danger in its fangs and so long
as any signs of Contagious Blood Poison remain there is danger of infection. Safety lies in
crushing out the life of this loathsome disease and killing the serpent, and no remedy

Last Friday’s Ledger contained a
’ brief mention of the death of Mrs.
Mary A. Linder, and the following
; facts will interest Ledger readers:
! Mrs. Linder first saw the light of day
, on the (!th day of June, 1832. and was
therefore in her seventy-third year.
! At the tender age of sixteen she was
wedded to Major Lee Linder. The
year following her marriage she be-
oame a member of the Macedonia
i Ltpiisi church, and her future yoa-s
w ere full of happiness and usefulness, j ers
daughter of Robert Lip'
for a “job” tell him to go to some
hardware establishment, buy a hoe
and come out into the country about
five miles northeast of town, one mile
from the river, and he will find truly
a position in this great army that is
now having a big battle with Mr.
Crabgrass.
If we can’t get more “troops” in a
few days the cotton acreage will be
cut beyond a doubt.
Several of our good farmers have
already turned out part of their cot
ton and others will soon follow.
It does look a little ban] at first,
but when we think about how our
smartest and best men tried so earn
estly to get all the farmers to de
crease their acreage last, spring and
they would not, surely it is but fair,
if they do have a lot of work to do
this year. “Experience is a dear
school."
As last Friday was the day set
apart by our State and county au
thorities for all the teachers to stand
their examinations, your humble sub
scriber took a day “off” and went out
to town to spend a day with the teaeh-
loy found it helped me from the first
dose 1 took, and a few bottles cured
me.

gained my appetite, and I feel that I

The Scripture Complied With.
It was in an experience meeting in
an African Methodist church over in
Virginia, writes a Washington corres-
pondent. A new convert had been giv
ing in his confession. He told the
brethren and the sisters all the sins
of his life, and more too, with all
their aggravations. He had confess
ed to every crime in the decalogue.
When he paused for breath, gasping
at his own wickedness, a brother in
the gallery shouted solemly:
“Put out dat lamp!”
“What for?” asked the pastor.
“Coz.” said the solmn brother, “de
vilest sinner done return.”
