The Laurens Advertiser $1.00 per Year in Advance. Of course Donald was a most foolish und obstinate boy. There could bo no question about that. lie had a good position in tho house of a vory rich and a vory liberal paUou. His dulios were not onerous, but such as they wore he fulfilled them in a most conscientious mannor. The position might have been a snap, hut Donald did not look at it in that way and all his waking hours were givon to the doing of things, required or not, which should make for the betterment of the stables of his omployer aud all thoy contained. Donald had not had any education to speak of?that is, any education lying wkhiu the rea'm of books, and what traiuiug ho had came from tho sterliug discipline of his good Scotch mother. Anyway it so happened that tho union of his mother and father had not proved most fortunate, and the rugged qualities of tho material Scotch had been neutralized by tho iudecisivo charaelor of tho father with his mix luro of French and American blood. A5t auy rate, when tho boy was a movo child, both parents died, aud Donald wks placed in servitude with the family of tho woalthy Ilobatt Waylor. His placo was in the stables and right faith ful work did ho do with the horses and vehicles. For besides tho Scotch blood iu his vchis, which niado bitn faithful ami persistent in his duly, thoro weie tho lessons iio had boon taught at his mother's kneo, who had instructed him when a more baby to be tho? ough and careful in all tho efforts of life, lie could not help il?no moro than could she, it was tho horhagc of tho ages. So ho plodded along, putting up with the sneers of the lackoys and other em ployees, who laughed at his conscien tious work, as best ho could. It was no small comfort to this homeless and lunuaomo boy to come in contact with Ethel, tho golden-haired Hille daughter of the house, whoso thirteen years ' seemed to givo lua fourteen something of a right to protect and guard over her. Being a bonnio lad and handy with tho horses, he found him self almost always her companion?or groom, on the afternoon rides, and thero were rare aftoi noon raciugs over tho flue country roads and through the groves. And through it all Donald was . execcdiug careful and releasing the high spirit of the girl as well as his own siq ovior strength and skill with ? the horses, he often taxed his iugonulty to permit her to win, albeit it required the utmost Bircnglh and tact with bis own horse, crazed w;lh the cxchciucnt of tho course?aud his own youthful her.d not so cool as it might have been. For racing for a goal wnh a Hue Steed under you is not so cold bloo?ed a proportion as would naturally permit the average boy to regard it as a mere incident. Tho days and weoks and months merged into years, and all the time Donald became more aud moro satis fied with life?especially as be rode with MUs Ethel by day and dreamed of her by night. For she was in truth a bounic lass to look upon, with bei bright blue laughing eyes, and her sunny' yellow hair, and her red lips and her lithe pud graceful physique. ? She inspired Donald to great thoughts and filled his sturdy youug mind with lofty piuposcSi And as bo grow older and worked hard o' nights m his hLi'e loft in tho bavi>, Uyiug, poor boy, io koop paco with Irs goldou-haircd In spiration as she traveled t oug the path of learning with her prorossou aud masiors, a gicat purpose and a great inspiration caine into his miud and heart. Whi'e it was hard and sometimes diftCOP .;gi:?g to him bo ci.nie month by month to realize that his brain was aide to solve the prob lems presented by the books and the high spirit of independence, which ovor characterized his iaco, grew in his youug heari uutil he wh'ftpe-cd softly to himself: " Why uoi? Why am not I as good as she? Without masters or teachers I am able to loach her day by day how 10 do her tasks. Why can not I po out aud conquer tho world aud come kick and?" and then his dream went off into the ro3y realm wheic it really is not safe to voueh for their accuracy or their sanity. And then came the crash. Ethel hat! a .lived at tue age of si-rteon, aud was about to launch forth as a young lady in tho deviouB and alluring paths of society, under the bkillful tuloiahip of her mother. And Ethel was a willing student?and an apt, and tho horse-back rides and tho romps be came fewer aud fewer and Donald > fretted bis youug spirit sore. I?ut he j wns patient and fauhful and many a 1 time when sorely disappointed did he ' catch the gleam of kindly sympathy I from the eyes of Jennie' Gray', the young ninid who served Ethel. *' A fine lass," ho Laid tu bimsen, " An' 1 pity her for having to spend her time in the great bouso with its sordid atmosphere. Hut slill it is worth all the trouble and humiliu tiorf to bo near Ethel all the lime. Ono day after an exhiliaraliog ride with Ethol, incidont to which there had beeu ccnsidorablo talk of books and studies, Donald, warmed by tho companionship and exahod by his own thoughts, liugered at the doorsteps, > after helpiug Ethel down, and poured out his hopes and asphations?bis dreams of an academic education and a career as a surgeon. Then he would return, he said, and lay his reputation and his money at her feet. The blue-eyed little patiician gazed at him with curling lips and bla;.lug eyes. 4< You!" she oxclaimed scornfully, M you indeed. You folget that you ave my groom. How dare you spcaK of such things to me. Youv foo!it>h head has been spoiled wilh too mu'Mi kindness aud too many hooks. Surgeon - indeed?a veterinary, maybe." And she laughed inenily at her little joke, " I will tell papa of your impudenco, and if ho does not discharge you I will see to it that you do not ride with me any more. I would have you know, sir, that I am to many a gentleman. This impudence comes of treating servants like human bo'ngs." She swept into the house, leaving Donald standing, stunned, besido the horses. Her little maid, Jennie Gray, who had come to meet her mistress, had been an involuntary listener lo tho scorntul speech, saw the pain and hu miliation which came into Donald's eyes, and before going into the house went to him, and laid her hand on his arm. "lam sorry for you, Donald," she said, her eyes wet with sympathy. " But you must not mind. He a groat surgeon anyway." He shook hor off roughly and turned ; away, but an instant later sprang to her < sidoj 1 1 m Forgive me," he said, ?? I do not know what I am doing. Thank you for your kind words. 1 wll always remember them. And?and I will be a great surgeon." He sprang on his horse and went clalloiing to tho stable. Aud ho did become a great surgeon. This sioiy is all loo short <o follow bis sliuggles aud self-denial, bis dogged ptrsfa'.once as he slowly climbed the ladder.

Never betraying a Uust or laihug in a task, ho was trusted more snd more, and some gravo oporatlous were given him to do. Iu those he showed marvelous skil1, aud scon bogau to bo talked about. 1 hou his preceptor aud patron dropped dead one day, aud Donald became bis natural successor. And he was called to attend a very high ollicial stricken nigh unto death, and they sent half across (he continent for Dr. Donald Durand, the famous young, surgeon, as the most trustworthy, to pe> form the delicate opcratiou required. And the newspapers rang with praises of bis si-'", and he was couilod by'tho rich aud great, aud monoy flowed into h!s pockets.

Tho government roport on the 3rd inst. has caused quite a flurry among the speculators, and tho mills in the South are said to be anxious about the situation, as the majority of them will need cotton very soon, the supply on hand being very short. The bureau leport is the worst ever issued in Sep tember, and if correct an advance of coUon w'd buroly come, which in itself would be almost unprecedented, as b'gh prices early in the season are seldom realized. The readers of 'I'm; Cotton Plant can draw their own conclusions upon the statements here with given. The mouthly report of the statisti cian of the department of agriculture shows the average condition of cotton on Aug. 20 to have been 64, as com pared with 81.0 on July ?G ; 71 4 on Aug. 24,1901 j 0S.2 on Sept. 1, 1000, aud a ten-year avoiage of 73.7. Tho present unprcccdently low av erage ot conditions, which is two tenths of a po<nt lower then the condi tion on Sept. 1, 180G, is due mainly to the reports from Texas and Alabama, in imid of which States the prevailing conditions are nothing less than dis astrous. The average for Texas is three points lower than at the corre sponding date in 1805 and 1001, and is the lowest over reported for that Slate. Iu Alabama also, the ciop is the poor est ever known. Georgia reports 0 poiii8 below its ten year average, the 1 condition figures being one poiut ( below the corresponding averages iu 1800 and 1000. The condition in Eouisinna is the same-as on Sept. 1, 1000, or 6 points below its ten year average. Mississippi reports 7 points below- its ten year average, but its condition is still 8 points above that at the corresponding date in 1900. South Carolina is within 1 point of its ten year average and North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas are 2 points, 7 points and 1 point above their re spective ten year averages. There aro genoral complaints of the premature opening and imperfect development of bolls and from South Carolina, a State who8"e prospects are far from beim; among the most favorable, the state ment is made on the authority of gin. ners I hat about 14 per cent, more socd cotton is required for a 500 pound bale than in an average year. The average condition in the diffor ent Slates follow: Virginia, 80 ; North Carolina, 80 ; South Carolina, 74 ; Georgia, 68 ; Floiida, 75 ; Alabama, 54 ; Missis sippi, 68 ; Louisiana, 70 ; Texas, 63 ; Aikansas, 75; Tennessee, 82; Mis ?ouii, 73 ; Oklahoma, 76 ; Indian Territory, 08. Mr. Theodore H. Price, of New York, thinks cotton will briug ten cod Is a pound this season, and his reasons therefor are given in the fol lowing interview, which has been sent throughout the South: I* I take this means of answering hundreds of telegraphic inquiries reach ing from all over Ihe country in re gard to the ootton market. . It It im possible forme t> reply to them in. dividually. The report of the United States government, issued today, in regard to the cotton crop indicates a condition of 64, which is lue lowest on record for September. It Is, and has been confirmed and foreshadowed by ?11 other reports, pnblio and private, Tor the past three weeks. The most i )ptinmtlc construction that Is possible ;o put upon tho government report1 < Mother "My mother was troubled with consumption for many years. At lsst she was given up to die.

O. AVER CO., Loweli, Maai. does not justify the expectation of a crop of 10,000,000 bales of Amorican cotton. *? The world consumed during tho year just ended 11,000,000 bales of American growth, and iu order to make this supply svflice vr etvos everywhere are practically exhausted. For the coming season the world will require, conservatively est oated. about 11,250,000 bales of .Auioricau coltou. Thoie is then a theoretical deficiency between the maximum tup. ply and the raiulmum detnand of at least 1,250,000 brles. An actual dc Uciency is commercially uotbinkable. The price must go to a Ogino that will check consumption. This price is by no means reached yet. America has a practical monopoly of cotton ^.oduc tion. Peeco reigns universally througu out the world, industtial and commer cial enterprise is unchecked aud ex panding. Next to food stuffs cotton is the most important and necessary utaplo consumed by civilized st ciety. | ? I think it ontlrcly probable . that before any effect .upon consumption is apparent cotton will be selling at 10 cents a pound in the Soulh and doubt if tho advauco will slop there. If pro ducers of tho articlo are wise they will demand and obtain that figure." ROOSEVELT'S TRIP TO THE SOOTH.

Why shouldn't it cure ner? Is it a complicated case? Thousands of such cases have been cured by ? Fa vorite Prescription." Is it a condition which local doctors have declared in curable? Among the hundreds of thou sands of sick women cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription there are a great many who were pronounced incurable by local doctors. Wonders have been worked by "Favorite Pre scription" in the cure of irregularity, weakening drains, inflammation, ulcera tlon and female weakness. It always helps. It almost always cures. "Three yean ago," writes Mrs. John O rah am, Of aoi8 riumb Street, (Prankford) Philadelphia, Pa., "i had a very bad attack of dropay which left me with heart trouble, and atao a very weak back. At timea ! waa ao bad that I did not know what to do with myself. My children advised me to take your ' Favorite Prescription,' but I had been taking ao much medicine from the doc tor that I waa discouraged with everything. I came to Philadelphia two years ago, and pick ing up one of your little books one day began to read what your medicine had done for otheis, I determined to try It myself. ! took seven bot tle*, and to-day I am a strong, wall woman, weighing 163 pounds.
