NEXT TO LARG ST WAS COTTON CROP 1roducter of 1918 Exceeded Only by 1911. Worth oier.a Billion. Washington, June 24.-Final figures on the 1913 cotton crop, announced to'day by the census bureau, place it as tie largest the United States had gj'own with the exception of that of 1911. At the sane time the estimate of the total value of the cr.op shows it was the most valuable ever pro duced, it being worth $1,043,760,000. Tie quantity of cotton ginned from the 1913 crop, counting round as half bales and excluding linters, was 13, 982, 811 running bales, or 14, 156.468. bales of 500 pounis gross weight. Cot ton seed1 produced was 0,305,000 tons, or which 4,579,508 tons were crushed. i'lh valo of the cotton Is estimated at $887,100,000 and of the seed $156, 00,000. An Interesting feature of the 1913 production was the crop of the Im perial valley in South California, where 22,838 bales were grown. It has been reported the acreage plant ed this year in the Imperial valley will show a large increase while the A DOCTOR'S GRATEFUL TESTIMONIAL. Dr. C. 11. Lee, Newcastle, Pa., writes: "About 18 months ago eczema broke out in my right ankle and spread Io my knee. The itching was intense. In three or four months it went to the left ankle end leg. I got no relief until. six nonths ago, when I tried EX-ZEMA-FO. - The first bottle allayed the itching, with the second bottle, to my delight, improve ment began and I am now about well. In Mr. F. Dunlap's case, his hands were in a terrible condition, but he made a very rapid cure. Gladly use my name, if it can be of any use to you." EX-ZEMA-FO is the only remedy for Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum and all skin troubles. Sold with the guarantee that unless results are satisfactory to the buyer the money is refunded. Fifty cents and $1.00 per bottle. FOR SALE BY LAURENS DRUG CO. Laurens. S. C. Specify No. 08. KeepYour - Animals Free fromFlies Cows give less milk, horses doless Work wherf tortured by (lies.

Last year's Production was more than double that of any Previous year there where commercial growing of cotton has been In progress only a few years. Another feature was the production in Arizona, where 2,299 bales were ginned, the largest part of which pos sessed the same charatteristiics as that grown in E1ogypt. The 1914 area shows a large increase, variously es timated at from 12,000,000 to 15,000, 000 acres. * * * * ** ** * ** ** * ** ** * * Poplar Spring Dots. * * <Poplar springs, J'.uno 22.--There was a'large congregation at Poplar Springs church yesterday and heard an excellent sermon, preached by the pastor, Rev. W. 11. Waters. Ills theme was advertising for Jesus and he took for his text Psalms 107:2, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy." It would be futile for :me to attempt to give a synopsis of his discourse but he said that all suc cessful business men in the secular affairs of life, advertised their busi ness. Just so it was necessary !or Christians to advertise for Jesus, or in other words as they came in con tact with their fellow men, to tell them what great things Jesus had done for them. Mr. and Mrs. Broadus Mitchell vis ited Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ridgeway yes terday. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Simmons on the 9th inst., a girl. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Simmons of Johnston, S.

Leo chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, of Clinton, offers a scholarship, paying tuition, $50.00, in the .Prosbytorian College of South Caro na, to any male dlescendant of a C 6nfederate vet cran, resident in I aurgns county, who may be0 selected by t e chapter. The aplicat must be ' ady to enter the Freshman class in the college, and must be able (d'st to that he would be unable to attend college without this assistance. Preference will be given to one whlo wishes to take a full four years' course. Work in college must be0 satisfactory in order to hold the scholarship. Applications should be -made in writing to Mrs. A. J.10 Spencer, Clinton, S. C., chairman of committee on scholarship. All alppli cations must be filed1 by the first of August, 191-4. 48-2t * * *THlE HiEN -LOUSE.* * * Clemson College, June 22.-As is the ease with the mite, the common lien louse is one of the poultryman's worst enemies in summer and by lowering the vitality of the fowls and preventing egg production causes a great pecuniary loss in South Caro lina, according to F. C. -Hare, poul try expert of the government, coop orating with Clemson College. The lien louse is no respecter of age, attacking baby chicks as well as mature fowls. On the former it ap pears more generally on top of the head and on the throat, causing the common sleepy look that little chicks often hamo. When these are examined te large lice will be found imbedded In thme down with their biting parts in the chick's skull. Unless removed promptly, the chick will die. Lice are best killed by greasing the heads and throats of ehicks with carbolized vase line. The modern and most effective method of killing lice on mature poul try in by the use of mercurial oint EW PAT:ENT " TH E. F. F DA LL E ment. One part of ointment iN mixed with two parts of lard, and a portion about the size of a pea is rubbed on the skin of the lien's body below the vent. A space not larger than the size of a quarter dollar should be greased, as when a larger surface is treated the mercury will be absorbed and the lien's egg production decreased. A short time ago 1,018 single comb White Leg horn hiens were treated in this way it Richland county and afterwards not a single louse could o found on any of them. The advantage of using the oiit ment H!!e in the fact that it is neces sary to apply it only once in six weeks. The lice are attracted by the moisture and appear to flock to the spot treat ed with the ointment. This inetiod is preferable to dusting liens with in sect powdei' or dipping them in a germicidal solution, It is simpler, chelaper and more effective. However, the mercurial ointment must not. be applied to baby chicks or to liens sit ting on eggs for hatching. The use of insect powder before sitters are placed on eggs and twice during the hatch is the best and safest way for sitting liens. Lining Up the Candidates. Speaking at Walterboro on Monday the governor "said somie of the State candidates are dodging Inc Ul)as'e issue, but that when th(y get in the Piedimont tly w:ili I1ve to t"ll where they stand." 'This is a perfect rcasonaball- posi tion for the governor to take. The issue of the campalga is Blease. Endorseincit of tle record wh ich Bovernor Illease has male as Chief Executive does not of itself imake a man at coat-tall swinger, hui Pt does show more convincingly thani any platform lie could possibly w rite where that lan stands oi the ques tions of the day in South Carolina. Wheni Major John G. HiIchards was a candidate for Railroad Commi3sion ev two years ago ho declined or omit ted to say whether he wais suporting Jones or Blease. lie could properly .jo this. The duI ties of a railroad cJmmisuoner are specific and a man's generali iewa in the matter of law enforcement and public policy are not necessarily an index to his fItness to he railroad comnmissioner. The governorship is a very different nlatter. This Major Richards thoroupghly understands. HeI has not waited until the camnpaign parny gets to t he Pied WOFFORD) FOO'T BAL SC (HE~I!LE.
