Gentlemen: I have long been desirous of
writing you a letter of gratitude for the happy
results obtained from your wonderful remedy,
D. D. D.. and I am doing so now with a deep
feeling of appreciation, hoping that it may bring
the same happiness and relief to other sufferera
that It brought to me. #
Six years of intense suffering from a sever#
case of eczema, to be given up as incurable by
sixteen doctors, several of whom were specialists
of skin diseases, and then to have tried every
known medicine for my ailment without effect,
and finally to procure absolute relief and a
permanent cure from a new remedy, is an ex-
perienee that justitles my action in making it
known to the public; and I feel that it is my
duty to give it as much publicity as possible, so
that other sufferers maybe relieved. My sym
pathy goes out to those who have to go through
what I did. It was almost unendurable, and not
only was it a most painful disease, but its ap
pearance was horrible on my face, and for years*
I went from home to the store and back again,
going to no place of amusement or visiting any
friends, simply going through a daily ordeal that
1 could scarcely endure Worse than that. I was
restricted to eating certain things, and any
change from that would greatly increase the
pain. Mv hands and fingernails were unsightly,
and I wore gloves all the time. My eyes were
swollen most of the time so that I could barely
see, and my ears and face had all the resemblance
of a raw piece of steak.
All this embarrassment and pain and misery
have entirely left me. I can now call on my
friends, go any place I desire and my business is
receiving the attention that it should. When
siK'clalists will pronounce you licyond cure, and
you are advised to seek another place of resi
dence. and leave your established and profitable
business, is it no wonder then that I should
write you this letter?
Thanking you again, and wishing your great,
remedy continued success, believe me, I am
your grateful friend,
ROBERT SUSSMAN.
If you are suffering the tortures of thedamned
don’t hesitate, but go TODAY, NOW, to your
druggist and Invest $1.00. It will not be an
expenditure, but an Investment in happiness.

Report of Condition of Crops Through
out the State.
Columbia. Auk. 22.—The mean tem-
P> rat ure for the week ending Monday,
\iiKust 21st, averaged about 3 degrees
below normal. Cue first and last days
having had nearly normal tempera
tures and the middle of the week was
unseasonably cool, especially at night.
The extremes were a maximum of 95
degrees at Florence on the Idth, and
i minimum of •>9 degrees at Florence
anl Greenville on the 19th. There
were no destructive high winds nor
hail storms.
Daily rains continued during the
first of the week over practically the
whole State, but tiie rainfall was
much lighter than last week ami
ranged from over 2 to less than half
•n inch, with the larger amounts gene
rally in the North Carolina border
counties, where bottom lands were
fain ilooded in places, and crops
seriously damaged. Over the central
and eastern portions, tne rainfall was
not materially damaging, and in many
places was beneficial.
The ground was generally too wet
to finish cultivating late corn over
the western counties, and frequent
rains interrupted fodder pulling, and
interfered with the preparation of
lands for fall truck in the coast sec-
tionte, but induced a rapid growth of
peas grass for hay. turnips and sweet
potatoes, all of which show improve
ment in condition.
While the deterioration of cotton
was not as rapid as last week, the
conditions that caused it have not
materially changed and continued
complain’s are received of excessive
shedding and the spread of rust, es
pecially on sandy lands. Shedding
was also excessive on clay land cot
ton. but on such lands the plants main-
t'da a generally healthy color and con
tinue to grow and bloom. A few cor
respondents report a slight improve
ment. Dolls are opening rapidly over
the eastern counties where picking is
well under way. and a few bolls have
opened in the extreme western coun
ties where picking will not be active
for a week or so.
Kxcept on bottom lands that were
I’ooded, there has been a marked im
provement in late planted corn, which
now promise to be a full crop. Peas ,
■i. > growing ranidly, and sweet pota
toes have improved, as have gardens;
,nd other food and forage crops.
Kire harvest has begun and will be
active next week except in the George-
iown district. Date fruits have rotted
badly.

Indigestion Causes
CatarrH of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposcsthe nerves of thestomach,thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kctiol Dyspsjisia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucou.--
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings,

A Bold. Bad Book Agent.
(Lippincotts.)
One <lav an enterprising agent who
ha.l informed himself, approached a
Mr. Smith with the interesting sug
gestion.—
“Now. .Mr. Smith. I know that to
day is your wedding anniversary.
Don’t you want to give Mrs. Smith
a handsome Bihle as an annivorsio >
present ? I can let you have today a
beautiful fifteen dollar Bible for five
dollars.” ^ . .
After some discussion Mr Rmiti’
took the Bible, .lust here the plot
thickens. The book agent pocketed
the proceeds, then promptly ran up|
to Mr. Smith's house, called for Mrs. ;
Smtih, and asked if site wouldn’t like
to make her husband a present of a i
fine Bible on this anniversa'v. He
sa id that as he was anxious to dis-;
pose of all his hooks before going
to rieveland at six o’clock, he would j
aerifice a beautiful fifteen dollar
Bible for five dollars. After some;
hesitation Mrs. Smith bought the
Bible.
When Mr. Smith reached home
that evening and presented his wife
with a large package containing an
anniversary gilt, she went into the
next, room and nroduced its male.
Tableau! Smith vowed vengeance I
uith all the hent of a warm disposi-j
lion. However there was a fine fes-j
tal supper waiting, so lie contented i
himself for the present with a tele-j
phonic appeal to one Lewis Johnson, |
a nearby friend.
“Lewis,” he urged. “1 want you to
huTy down to the station and stop
n hook agent wno is going to Cleve
land at six o’clock. I must see him:
hold him till 1 can finish supper and
get there.” Then he gave a brief
lesc-iption of the man and rushed
hack to his sumi'T.
The good Lewis hopped on a pass
ing car and swept down upon the
book agent just as the train pulled in.
“See he r (*.” he explained, “Smith
s°ys that he must see you and that
you are to wait over a train for him.”
"Sorry: I’d like to oblige him but
*t’-; impos-ible. I’m due in Cleveland
at elght-thlry and have got to get
there. B’’t I know whai Mr. Smith
".mts. He was thinking of buying
• i*.:; le of mine for his wife’s anniver-!
■ iry pr u-'i. It’s really a handsome
book, which 1 usually sell for fifteen;
dollars, but as it is the last one I have I
offered it to hi .i for five dollars”;
->• id;:, ing the Bihle.1 “He was to!
let me know if be wanted it. Couhb
a’t you take it to him. as I em’t pos
hly wait? He’d be disappointed not
to have it. ! know."
The obliging Lewis thereupon liast-
ly n-oduced the five dollars for the
igent, acquired the Bible, and with !
the best intentions in the world trot
ted hack to the Smith's with the book.
Second tableau! Fortunately their
scii.e of humor saved the situation,
ind with chastened spirits they dis
played all three books of Holy Writ
to the initiated.
Ex-Senator M'Laurin Replies to Gentle
men Who Suggested His Nomination.
Bennettsville, Aug.’ 22.—The follow

J. L. McLaurin this morning to the
gentlemen in Landrum, who recently
nominated him for governor of South
Carolina:

To Messrs. T M. Helen. Alex Frewet-
te. G. W. Pliiinby. L. R. Fisher, Lan
drum, S. C.: Gentlemen: I thank
you heartily for the compliment which
you pay in your card, published in
Saturday’s State, and trus; that no
ac. of mine will ever lesson the con
fidence which you express in my in-
tegrlty, and patriotism. The platform,
which you declare, is the only one
unon which I would care to stand were
I candidate for governor, and I hop ■
that the right man will come forward
and carry the principles which you
lay down, to success. Personally 1
do not wish to become a candidate for
any office but, if I felt that I were
needed. I would not hesitate to res
pond to the call. I am sure, however,
that the present skua!ion is such that
my candidacy for office would give the
opportunity to confuse by making the
contest personal and I wish to see this
campaign made without regard to the
personal or political fortunes of any
individual, looking solely to the public
good. With kindest personal regards.
I am,
‘‘Ever yours, sincerely.

Life in New York.
(News and Courier.)
The conditions of life in New York
City are very had. Several days ago
a little hoy of six years, whose mother
died six months ago, and whose father
disappeared, leaving the waif to the
care of a heartle s world, was dis
covered by a policeman living in a
trunk in the back yard of a house
situated on an alley. The little out
cast was found nestling in a pile of
old clothing and broken toys, which
he had gathered up. ami was living i
very much as Elijah had lived when
lie was fed by the ravens, although the
ravens came to John Mulqueen a: the
rarest intervals, and with the poorest
food. The policeman turned the hoy
over to some one of the charitable so
cieties of the great metropolis, and so
grea* are the po sihilities in this
country that in the course of time the
hoy who lived in the trunk may earn
the right to live in the White House.
About a week ago Martha Webb,
wenty-two years of age, a weavei
from Fall River Mass., went to New
York to secure work. She tried every
where hut in vain until last Thursday
when she obtained the promise of em
ployment in a printing shop, her ser
vice' to begin next Monday. But worn
out by her exertions in seeking em
ployment she collapsed last Thursday
while she was on her way to a dis
pensary for the purpose of securing
some sort of tonic that would keep her
going until she could earn enough with
which tq feed her famished body.
Last Thursday, according to a dis
patch published in the Watecbury
Vnerican, James E. Foye, private s<'C-
retary of Charles G. Gates, son of the
Chicago millionaire, caused the arrest
of his mother, Mrs. Florence Foye, be
cause she begged him for money with
which to buy food. Last winter upon
the complaint of the mother the son!
was summoned before the Department
of Charities and told that he must !
pay her S3 a week. He paid her $12 1
all told, and then diregarded the or-!

But he Might Find Her.
(Newberry Observer.)
A hoy and a girl were together six
ty-five years ago, near Cross Hill, when
they came-across a terrapin, of the
highland kind. While the young peo
ple sat talking the boy, with his pen
knife, cut his initials on the under
neath front side of the terrapin's shell,
and the date. The terrapin was turn
ed loose. Only a few weeks ago this
terrapin was found not more than a
hundred yards from the same spot,
with the initials and date as plain as
the day they were cut on the shell, the
terrapin having grown very little in
the <»5 years taat had intervened. The
ix,y of G5 years ago, now a man of
more than seventy-five, remembered
the incident and at once recognizeed
the letters and figures as his own. He
is now a widower. The girl of that
day is still alive and is a widow. He
is still a citizen of the same neighbor
hood. She moved away years ago.
Advertising is called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment than
the proprietor who oversees
it. Other things being
equal, nobody should be
ab’e to write more convinc
ingly of the articles he of
fers for sale.
In • store where the employer sells
goods side by side with his clerks It is
rare that the employer will not be the
best salesman.
The reason is simple. He
knows the goods from A to
Z. He probably bas pur
chased them. He knows
his aims. His arguments
earrj weight because they
are convincing.
The same arguments pre
sented in the same way,
with the same enthusiastic
spirit, the same knowledge
of detail, would attract
new customers if presented
through the advertising col
umns of this paper.
