iyir. McCorkle's Condition.
It will lie rcHH'inbered that a few
weeks au,(» .Mr. Paul .McCorkle. a pro
minent ofitton man of Chester, who
is kno n by many Claffney people,
was seriously hurt by his horse run
ning away with him while out driving
with hi wife and child. 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. His many
friends throughout the State will con
tinue to hope that he may not lose
his sight.

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.

GUARD AGAINST GERMS.
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.

merits of Peruna,
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore it
is almost a national curse, and it is of
national import that the people should

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.

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. ’
