4 Notes.
Some women always remind yo-.t of
disguised men.
Among the hardest troubles to bear
are those that seem needless.
It is easy enough for a millionaire
to believe that contentment is bettGh
than wealth?for he finds it harder to
acquire.
The rich man has troubles of which
the poor man knows nothing.
There are never any giris preiuer
than the one you are in love with,
but there are plenty of women handsomer
than the one you generally marry.

It never nays to Lkj moan.
You will never find our Doctor
out. He is here to give
advice without charge*to those
who need him ? to those who
don't, sometimes. He doesn't
always recommend the Aver
medicines, because the Aycr
medicines are not "cure-alls."
Perhaps if we tear a leaf
L- 1 ?.:tj
from nis correspondence n wm
show you what we mean. Here
is a letter which came last
March.
"Dear Dr. Ayf.r :
I want your advice for my little boy.
He is getting very thin. He has no appetite.
He is fifteen years old. When he
was four years old he had lung fever, but
his health was good until two years ago.
Since then he is failing fast. The doctors
here say he has the bronchitis. He spits

thick, and white. Yours truly,
Mrs. Marcarft Murphy,
March 3c, 1900. Kinbrae, Minn."
And this is the way the Doctor
answered Mrs. Murphy:
"Dear Madam:
. "We enclose our book on The Throat
and Lungs, in which we trust you will find
just the information you desire.
"You should begin at once the use of
this Cherry Pectoral for your son, giving
it in moderate doses. Then procure some
good preparation of cod-liver oil, as
Scott's Emulsion, and give him that, as
well. Pay particular attention to his diet,
giving him such nourishing foods as rare
steak, lamb chops, good milk, eggs, etc.
Above all, keep him out of doors all that
the weather permits. There is nothing
that will do him more good than plenty of
fresh air. Let him live out of doors all
that Is possible. By carrying out these
general suggestions we shall hope to hear
soon that your son is improving in every
way. Very truly yours.
April 5, I9OO. J. C. AYER."
You see, it wasn't only the
Ayer medicines that we recommended.
The first idea of the
Doctor was to cure that boy.
The result is told in this letter:
"Dear Dr. Ayer:
"My little boy has improved so much
since I received vour advice that I want to
write and tell you how thankful I an).
"When I first wrote you, on March
30, he only weighed 50 pounds, but now
he weighs 82 pounds; and all this gain
since the 8th of April, whin I first began
to follow your directions.
" Please let me thank you again for what
you have done for my boy.
July 17, 1900. Marcakft Murphy.**
Perhaps it was the codliver
oil; perhaps it was the
Cherry Pectoral. Probably it
was both. But, more than
either, it was the good, sound
advice the Doctor gave in the
first place. We arc here to
serve vou in just the same way,
and we will tell you the medicine
for your case or tell you
what medicines to avoid.
Five out of ten of our correspondents
need a doctor
rather than a prepared medi?

BRITISH SUFFER LOSS
Disasters Attend Operations in
South Africa.
TWO COMPANIES ARE CUT UP
Bullcr Meets with Opposition During
His Advance, His Cavalry Narrowly
Escaping Ambush.
London. By Cable.?British operations
in South Africa during the past
few days have been more or less disastrous.
General Roberts reports an
ambush of two cornp inies of the Liverpot)!
regiment, who were surrounded
by Boers in a hollow and terribly cut
up. One officer and fourteen men were
killed, three officers and fifty-four m^n
wounded and thirty-three are missing.
Buller has met vith rau?h opposition
during his advance, his civalry having
narrowly etciped an ambush. Bulle'*

S. C. Cotton Crop 100,000 Bales Short
Atlanta, Special.?A special to The
Constitution from Columbia, S. C..
says: "South Carolina crops have s if
ferec! disastrously irom mt- nut ?pcu
combined with thp drought. Recently
a few local showers have fallen over
very limited areas, but otherwise there
has been no rain in August. Some far.
mors estimate the cotton yield has
been redured 40 per cent., but only allowing
a loss of 12 per cent. - on an
average yield on the acre'ge planted,
the lo.-s will be 100,000 bales, or $4,000.000.
The lo;s on other crops, sugar
cane, late corn and hoy will make the
total over $7,000,000. Unless there are
general rains within a very few days
the drought will become a disaster.
Co'.ton licit.s are as white as they generally
are late in September, but over
half the bolls that are showing the
white are unmatured, being bur3t open
by the heat, ard the lint is without
value. Many of the plants are dying,
the Icavrs drying up and falling ofT.
and no more blossoms are coming.
Nothing can 3ave the farmers from the
loss already sustained, but rain3 wou'd
start -the plants to blcs-oming again
and late fro?ts would permit the new
bolls formed to mature. N
North Carolina Senatorial Race.
Raleigh. N, C., Special.?The State
Democratic convention of North Carolina
last spring passed a resolution
submitting the selection of a United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Marlon Butler to the Democratic voters
at the November election. So far
two candidates have tormauy announced
themselves. Hon. F. M. Simmons.
Chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, has for
some time been in the field. Saturday
Gen. Julian 8. Carr. of Durham, formally
announced his candidacy. Whether
there will be others in the race yet remains
to be seen.
Texas Lectures Ohio.
Sherman, Texas, Special.?At a public
meeting of citizens presided over
by Judge R. R. Hazlewood Friday
night, resolutions were passed proie tlng
against uncivilized conduct on thnart
of our sister State of Ohio." and
admonishing its people "of the pernicious
example thus displayed in set.
tint? the laws of the land at defiance in
this age of civilization and land of
Christianity."
President Gives Up Trip.
Washington, D. C.. Special.?Owing
to the continued pressure of publi"
business of immediate importance, the
President has been obliged to withdraw
his acceDtance of the invitation
to attend the national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic, at
Chicago, and the several others Incident
to that oceassion. Secre:ary
Cortelyon advised Executive Direcio:
Harpor, Commander-in-Chief 3haw
and others, of his decision and cf th"
keen disappointment fell by the President
that he would be unable to be
present during the encampment.

Whether the legations were supplied
with food by the Chinese is as yet
unknown to the outside world, but it
is considered probable that some prominent
Chinamen, sympathizers with
the foreigners, found means to tend
supplies.
It is said that the nut trees of th?
world alone could, if necessity should
arise, provide food all the year 'round
for a total population three times
greater than the present. It has been
pointed out to the Washington Department
of Agriculture that Brazil
nuts around Tara grow in such profus
ion that thousands of tons of them are
wasted every year; with cocoanuts it
is the same in many (enters. Nuts
ground in various ways are rapidly
coming into favor, and it is predicted
that in the near future nut floor will
compete successfully with wheaten
flour.
