P., Oakville, Ind., writes, "For ten years 1 was confined to my bed with disease of the kidneys. It was so severe that 1 could not move part of the time.

Columbia, June 13.—There was a wide range of temperature during the week ending 8 a. m. June 12th. from 9!> at Florence on the 8th. to a mini mum of 49 at Greenville on the 10th. after which the temperature rose slowly to about normal at the close of the week. The cool nights were damaging to cotton and tobacco. Fresh to brisk northeast winds pre vailed during the night of the 8th and on the 9th. which, in places, was somewhat detrimental. A severe hail storm occurred in York county. Sun shine was in excess. With the exception of light showers in York and Greenwood counties and a trace of rain in places on the coast, | the week was without rain, and in | places there has been no rain in over i two weeks. The ground has become) baked and crusted, in places, render-; ing it hard to cultivate, thus increas ing the difficulty of ridding fields of grass and weeds. Although but few crops are actually suffering, the need of rain is felt in all parts of thel State. There is but slight improvement in ! cotton, and that only where cultiva tion was early and thorough. There is some yet to be chopped, and many fields continue .grassy and some have been abandoned, although the greater; part of the crop has been cleaned. The cool nights checked growth, and the plants are. generally undersized, and in places have a yellow cast and lack thriftness. Lice continue dam-; aging in the central and eastern coun ties. The first u;'and bloom was re ported from Bamberg county on the 1th. and ihe first sea-island from Charleston on the *ith. Sea-island cot ton is in a promising condition, being clean and growing rapidly. There has been no marked improve ment in corn which, as a rule, is small, in places yellow, and many fields lack cultivation and are foul. Early corn is tasselling and being laid by in the eastern and southern counties. Bot tom lands have about all been planted in the west, but bud worms have been destructive so that stands are badly broken. ' Rice is doing well, and June plant ing is nearly finished. Tobacco was adversely affected by the cool nights; "n Marion county the tobacco crop is very unpromising. Melons Miss Estelle Campbell, 140 N. High street, Nash ville, Tenn., writes: “Peruna helped me when almost everything else failed. / was rundown from overwork, as I had not been able to take a vacation for three years and naturally my nerves were all unstrung and 1 was greatly In need of rest and a tonic. “I went away for two months, but did not seem to get my strength back, although I was taking a prescription which the doctor gave me before I went away. “At the request of my relatives, with whom I was visiting, I began to use Peruna, and you cannot realize how glad I was when within a week I found I was feeling so much better. Inside of a month I was feeling splendidly, ready and able to take up my work again.”—Estelle Campbell. Miss B. Inez Silvera, 189 W. 136th street, New York City, Grand Recorder Daughters of American Independence, writes: “Nine years of work, withom a vacation, wore out my nervous system. I lost my appetite and felt weak and exhausted nearly all the time. ••Peruna restored me to perfect health In five weeks. It Is the finest tonic for a weary woman that I know of. 1 gladly endorse It"—B. Inez Silvera. Peruna is the most prompt and permanent cure for all cases of nervons prostration caused by systemic catarrh known to the medical profession. ?*•* MM .mm mm. m MISS B. INEZ SILVERA. A Spring Tonic. Almost everybody needs a tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain, and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is be yond all question. We have on file thousands of letters which testify to the curative and pre ventive value of Peruna in cases of nervous depression and rnn down con ditions of the system. We quote a tj’pical case: Mr. Frank Williams, 3935 34th street, New York City, men.I c-r First Presby- tcrian Church and Captain Capitol Golf Club, writes: “Last spring 1 suffered with malaria and a run down condition which seemed very difficult to overcome. “I tried several different tonics but did not seem to get much better until I began using Pernna. My recovery was slow, but I was improving and I was glad to continue using it. “At the end of two months my health was restored and I looked and felt much better than I had for years. Your rem edy is well worthy of a recommend and I am pleased to give it mine.”— Frank Williams. Peruna never fails to prevent spring catarrh or nervous prostra tion, if taken in time. Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found per* manent use in so many homes is that It contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe- runa is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Pernna does not pro duce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the systenif and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the canse of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Much a thing could not be possible if Peruna contained any drugs of a nar cotic nature. All correspondence held strictly confidential. Dr. Hatcher at Limestone. Happenings at Spartanburg. The following is from an editorial Spartanburg, June 10.—The mayor’s in the Baptist Argus, of the 8th inst., 1 election which comes off on the 2<»th of inst. is warming up as the days go by. There are three candidates in the field and each one seems to be confident of being elected. They are all good men have improved recently. Wheat har vest made rapid progress, under fa vorable conditions, but the yields arejdant noor, owing to the prevalence of rust. Oats harvest is finished in places and nearly so in all parts of the State; while generally poor, in places the yields are good. The commercial peach crop is ripening fast, and shipments are heavy. The quality of the fruit is good. Gardens need rain. Negro Killed by Train.

The boarding department has been filled, having about 150 stu dents in its dormitories besides a good local patronage. The session just closed has been exceptionally pros perous. Limestone is strictly under Baptist control, though not connected with tin* State convention. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, son of our honorable old friend. Dr. J. L.

The president is a resourceful, enter prising gentleman with initiative abun- and a clear eye for honesty in school work. It was a cheering ex perience to visit Limestone. We found Dr. A. M.

An evening in his bright home with his delightful family was full of enjoyment, and we were pleased indeed to find the Doctor in conditions so favorable to happi ness and service.” Letter to Dr C T Lipscomb Greensboro.
