WORKING WOMEN
Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—Interesting State
ments by a Young Lady in Boston
and One in Nashville, Tenn.
All women work: some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
ttws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, ulceration, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhcea
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I suffered misery for several years with
irregular menstruation. My back ached; I
had bearing down pains, and frequent head
aches; I could not sleep and could hardly
drag around. I consulted two physicians
without relief, and as a last resort, I tried
Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable Compound, and
to my surprise, every ache and pain left me.
I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health.”
Miss Pearl Ackers of 327 North Sum*

Inconstant.
(Contributed.)
Inconstant! Oh. my God!
Inconstant! When a single thought
of thee
Sends all my quivering blood
Back on my heart, in thrills of
* ecstasy!
Inconstant! When to sleep
And to dream thou art near me, is
to learn
So much of heaven I weep
Because the earth and morning
must return.
Inconstant! Ah, too true!
Turned from the rightful shelter of
thy breast,
My tired heart flutters through
The changeful world—a bird with
out a nest.
Inconstant to the crowd
Through which I pass, as to the
skies above.
The fickle summer cloud,
But not to thee, ah, not to thee,
dear love!
I may he false to all
On earth beside, and every tender
tie ,
Which seems to hold in thrall
This weary life of mine, may be a
lie;
But true its God’s own truth,
My steadfast heart turns backward
evermore
To that sweet time of youth
Whose golden tide heats such a
barren shore!
Inconstant! Not my own
The hand which builds this w'all be
tween our lives;
On its cold shadow, grown
To perfect shape, the flower of love
survives.
God knows that I would give
All other joys, the sweetest and the
best.
For one short hour to live
Close to thy heart, its comfort and
its rest.
But life is not. all dark:
The sunlight gladdens many a hid
den slope,
Tne dove shall find its ark
Of peaceful refuge and of patient
hope.
1 yet shall be possessed
Of woman’s meed—my small world
set apart!
Home, love, protection, rest,
And children’s voices singing
through my heart.
By God’s help. I will he
A faithful mother and a tender
wife;
Perhaps even more, that
Has chasted the best glory from my
life.
But sacred to this loss,
One white, sweet chamber of my
heart shall be;
No foot shall ever cross
The silent portal sealed to love and
thee.
\ml sometimes when my lips
Are to my tirst-born’s clinging, close
and long,
Draining with bee-like sips
At its sweet lily-heart, will it he
wrong,
if for an instant, wild
With precious pain, I put the truth
aside,
\nd dream’ it is thy child
I am fondling with such tender
pride?
And when another’s head
Sleeps on thy heart, if it should
ever seem
To he my own, instead,
Oh, darling, hold it closer for the
dream! i
•*>
God will forgive the sin. y
If sin it is. our lives are swept so
dry,
So cold, so passion clear—
Thank Him death comes at last-
arid so. good bye.
CROP BULLETIN.
Report of Condition of Crops Through
out the State.
Columbia. Sept. 20.—The week end
ing Monday, September 25th, was one
of extreme heat, with the weekly
mean temperature about six degrees
per day above normal. The tempera
ture extremes were a maximum of
98 degrees at Batesburg and Black-
ville on the 20th, and a minimum of
57 degrees at Spartanburg on the
23rd. There was very little cloudi
ness in the western portion, and con
siderable in the eastern and south
eastern parts.
Drought continues in the central and
western counties, while the eastern
and southern counties had copious
rains, on the 20th and 21st, amounting
in many places to between one and
two inches. A few localities had ben
eficial showers in the west, but over
the larger part of that section of the
State there was no rain or merely a
trace.
The weather was favorable for
gathering crops, except in a few eas
tern localities, and much hay was
saved in fine condition, and fair prog
ress was made in cutting and curing
pea vines. Over the larger portion of
the State the ground is too dry for
plowing and fall seeding operations,
and less than the usual amount of
oats, or other grains have been sown.
The dry weather was also inimical to
late corn, fall root crops and pastures.
Over the eastern counties minor crops
have sufficient moisture and a n e do
ing well. ,
Cotton continues to open rapidly in
all sections, and it is opening pre
maturely over a large portion of the
western half of the State, but there is
no perceptible change in the condition
of the crop, nor in the prospective
yield which is smaller than last year
in all parts. The weather was favor
able for picking, with some interrup
tion in the east, where some open
cotton was damaged by rain both this
and last week.
Fall truck was favored by the rains
on the 21st, but some hay on the
ground was damaged along the coast.
In other parts of the State haying
progressed rapidly and favorably.
