He remained unconscious for a long time, and fin ally it was decided to take him to the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, where he was carried last week. In regard to his condition, the Charlotte Chronicle of Tuesday con tained the following: “Mr. John M. Scott returned this morning from B-altimore. to wh^ch city he accompanied Paul McCorkle, of Chester, S. C., who was seriously injured in a runaway accident a few weeks ago. Mr. McCorkle was car ried to John Hopkins hospital where he was examined by eminent eye specialists. The physicians say there is no hope of saving Mr. McCorkle’s eyesight. The patient will be brought back ho his home in Chester in a week or ten days.” Mr. McCorkle's case is a sad one; and could sympathy and good wishes effect a cure, he would have been a well man long ere this.

Carroll & Byers. CROP BULLETIN. Report of Condition of Crops Through out the State. Columbia, July 11.—The week end ing 8 A. M. of the 10th, had a mean temperature slightly In excess of the normal, although there was some com plaint of too ciMil nights near the close of the week, from the western IM>rtion of the State. The extremes for the week were a maximum of 100 degrees at Columbia on the 3d. and a minimum of 02 degrees at Greenville on the 8th. There were destructive high winds in the western and central counties accompanying thunderstorms, but the damage was confined to small areas . There was more than usual amount of cloudiness, especially dur ing the afternoons, with mornings and nights generally clear. The average precipitation was some what in excess of the normal, with, however, many places in the east central and northern counties that had little or no rain and where the drought was intensified and is now very detri mental to all growing crops. In Oco nee, Anderson, and parts of Pickens, and central Savannah valley counties, there were very heavy rains that washed lands, flooded bottom lands and retarded cultivation; over the greater porton of the State the rainfall was wholly beneficial, though scarcely sufficient for the needs of crops. ’here was a general improvement in the condition of cotton, confined largely to clayey soils, while on sandy lands there was improvement in spots only. The plants have grown too fast in the western counties, and are gen erally undersized elsewhere, though healthy. Rust has appeared in Ander son county, and “black root” in Clar endon. Sharp-shooters have done con siderable damage in Anderson and Pickens counties. In sections where the rainfall has been deficient, and the plants are in consequence small, they are blooming to the tops. In most places the plants are fruiting normally. The rains came too late to bene fit old corn, which is poor in every part of the State, while young corn has become very promising, except on bottom lands, in a few counties where what is left after the floods has become very grassy. Tobacco curing has made fair progress, hut the' crop is a light, one. Rice is doing fairly well. A large acreage of cow peas has been planted on wheat and pats stubble lands, and they have come up ro good stands. Gardens are poor, in places ruined by the drought. Pastures have im proved recently. Melons are plenti ful. Peaches scarce except where raised on a commercial scale. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. J. I). McCullough, of Wilkinsville, was in the city yesterday.

Keep Well By Strengthening the Stomach in Summer With Mi-o-na. in time of war the most responsi bility rests upon the guard. If he! is lacking in vigilance, disaster can easily overtake the army. With the individual life, the stomach may well represent the “guard” against sickness. If it is strong and vigilant, any disease germs that may he swallowed will he neutralized by the ligestive juices, or else driven from the system. Everyone with weak digestion should use Mi-o-na at. this season and so strengthen the stomach that disease germs can have no effect whatever. This remarkable remedy puts the whole digestive system in so healthy, clean and sweet a state that fermentation of the food cannot exist, that any disease germs which may enter the stomach will be de stroyed, and food will he so readily i assimilated that a rapid and healthy j increase in flesh will result. Nervousness and sleeplessness come more often from a weak stom ach than from any other cause; head ache, hack-ache, and rheumatic pains are directly caused by an acid con dition of the stomach. Mi-o-na cor rects all this, prevents the form ation of acids, and nervousness, kid ney trouble, or rheumatism, is quick ly cured.

The most distinguished men of the United States have no , hesitation in lending their influence to Peruna as an excellent tonic, and it Governor of Alabama Commends Pe-ru-na.

Therefore it is almost a national curse, and it is of national import that the people should know of Peruna. Catarrh is an American disease. Peruna is an American remedy. Catarrh is a result of changeable climate. Peruna is a result of long and careful experimentation. Catarrh enters the system through the nerve centers and affects the mucous membranes. Peruna enables the nerve centers to repel and expel the catarrh from the system. Catarrh is a systemic disease and enrable only by systemic treatment. The remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna doea. Redeemer of Public Moneys. Hon. John C.

W Early Riser* The famous little pills. —Men’s Garters, Suspenders and Handkerchiefs at R. S. Lipscomb Shoe Stom Strange, Isn't It? A woman sees a hat or bonnet in a milliner’s window. It is in the latest style, so she determines to have that hat—or one just like it. No use to try to dissuade her- -he wants that kind of a hat! No ether will suit her. There she displays her will power, and probably does the same with everything she buys for herself or her family. She makes, as it wen*, a feminind “Declaration of Indepen dence.” Is it not surprising, therefore, to find some few women who still allow their grocers to choose for them in important matters like food stuff? In spite of the fact that grocers as a rule have long ago realiz.ed the m*- cessity of catering to their customers' rather than their own desires, there are still a few of the other kind left, who show a marked inclination to persuade customers to takq what they do not ask for. or desire. ’ Take Lion Coffee, for instance, the leader of all package coffees, an es tablished favorite for over twenty-five years in millions of homes, on account of its absolutely pure and uniform quality.
