.■'■I"'H 'r P m SOME COTTON Statistic* upon tha Acroaga and Pro duction of Cotton In Thi* State fonTen Year*. The census bureau, at Wash ington, has recently issued a circular containing preliminary statistics of cotton produced in several States for the year end ing May 31, 18!to. In South Carolina the total area devoted to the cultivation of cotton in 1889-181)0 was 1,987.- 061 acres and the production of cotton 746,798, as compared with a cultivated area of 1,364,249 acres and a production of 622.- 548 bales in 1879-1880. There was, therefore, an increase! of 623,402 acres, or 45.69 per cent, in the area cultivated and of 224,250 bales, or 42.91 per cent, in the number of bales produc ed, the yield in 1879-1880 being at the rate of 0.38 of a bale to the acre, or 2.61 acres to the bale, and in 1889-1890 at the rate of 0.38 of a bale to the acre, or 2.66 acres to the bale. Every cotton-producing county in the State, with the exception of Charleston County, out of which Berkeley County was formed in 1882, shows an increase in area devoted to cotton, and all but four show an increase in pro duction. Barnwell County had the largest acreage in cotton in 1889-1890 and Abbeville County the largest production. In Darlington county for the period stated there were 69,353 acres planted upon which 25,204 bales were raised, being an in crease in ten years of 8,929 in the number of acres planted and 1,258 in the number of bales produced. Consumption Cured. klMtrie Bitters. by sionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the sjteedy and permanent cure of Con sumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure of Nervous Debility and all Neiwous Complaints, af ter having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this mo tive and a desire to relieve hu man suffering, I will send free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe, in German, French or English, with full directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail bv addressing with stamp, naming this paper. W. A. Noyks, 820 I'uwrrs' lilock, Rochester N. Y Patient: “Doctor,let meknow the worst.” Doctor (absent-m i n d e d) : “Your bill will be two hundred dollars.” Always Get the Best. Persons who suffer from Rheu matism want immediate relief. It is not enough that the pain should be eased, and the appe tite be increased. Anything short of a cure is only prolong ing torture. The poisonous acids in the blood, which is the direct cause of Rheumatism, are immediately and effectually ex pelled by Dr. Drummond’s Lightning Remedy Whore it fails to perform a cure, the price is refunded. If the druggist cannot furnish it the remedy will be sent prepaid to any ad dress on receipt of price, five dollars, Drummond Medicine Co., 58 50 Maiden Lane, New York. Agents wanted. It is pretty generally believed that the man who stays at home from church when it is raining will yet go to a place where there is a continual drought. It Should Be in Every House. J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St. Sharpsburg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, boughs and Colds, that it cured his wife who was threatened with Pneumonia after an at tack of “La Grippe.” when var ious other remedies and several physicians had done her no good. Robert Barber, of Cooksport, Pa., claims Dr. King's New Dis covery has done him more good than anything he ever used for Lung Trouble. Nothing like it. Try it. Free Trial Bottles at Willcox & Co’s drug store. Large bottles, 50c. and f 1.00. It is strange that a man will have the hardihood to hold up a glass of whisky and exclaim “Here’s health,” when heknows well enough that there isn’t a particle of healtti in the stuff. This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special mention. All who have used Electric Bitters I sing the same song of praise.— | A purer medicine does not exist a id it is guaranteed to do all that is claimed.

Boyd Little Nell: “What does the organist at our church have a lookin’-glass fixed over his head on the organ for ?” Little Dick : “I guess that's so he can tell the choir when the minister is lookin’.” From the Piney Wood*. Of the North to the Ever glades of the South, druggists are besieged by people with every shade of Rheumatism, in- quring about Dr. Drummond’s Remedy. “Will it cure me?” And the druggist points to the fact that the Drummond Medi cine Co., 48-50 Maiden Lane, New York, offer a reward of $500 for a case their remedy will not cure. That kind of answer is satisfying, and the sufferer planks down five dollars and goes home and is cured. Not only relieved! but Cured.
