cotton milling industry to the States
of the cotton belt. He says that these
conditions have been more In evidence
during the season Just closed than

under the most unfavorable condi?
tions having been in round figures |>
193.000, while the North totalled but
1,973,000 or 220,000 bales less. In the

ised by Section Director Bauer?
Report* by Counties.
Columbia, Sept. 16.?Section Direc?
tor Bauer yesterday issued his weekly
weather bulletin showing conditions
In South Carolina up to Monday. The
report goes full Into detail* aa to
temperature and precipitation and In
addition gives reports from many lo?
cal points throughout the State.
The week was characterized by gen?
erally clear weather, unusually cool
nights, and very light precipitation,
conditions favorable fo. harvesting
operations. The weekly mean tem?
perature ranged from 1 to 4 degrees
below the normal, the greatest de?
partures having been recorded In the
eastern portion. The dally maximum
temperatures ranged in the eighties,
rising to 90 degrees or above on one
or more days at a few places. The
dally minimum temperatures ranged
generally In the sixties, falling below
60 degrees ever the western division
on the 9th, 11th and 12th In many lo?
calities. The extremes were 93 de?
grees at Bowman on the 7th, and 58
degrees at Santuc on the 9th and
11th, at Batesburg and Rock Hill on
the 11th, and at Spartanburg on the
12th.
The precipitation was generally
light and largely confined to the east?
ern counties, where a few places re?
ceived weekly amounts exceeding an
Inch, except that severe local thun?
derstorms occurred on the 7th In the
western division, accompalned by
damaging hall In Anderson county.
The general absence of rain was fa?
vorable, the soil being amply supplied
with moisture.
Low lands bordering the Santee,
lower Pee Dee and lower Savannah
rivers remained overflowed through?
out the week.
The Mighty Power of Mi-o-na.
Ml-o-na, that extraordinary and
perfect stomach tonic, will relieve
dyspepsia in twenty-four hours.
It will cure, and is guaranteed by
J. F. W. DeLorme, to the readers of
the Item and the Watchman and
Southron to cure the most pitiful cases
of dyspepsia, if taken according to di?
rections.
Ml-o-na tablets not only cue dys?
pepsia, but all stomach disturbances,
such as vomiting of pregnan'y, ??-u or
car sickness, and the stomach sickness
after excessive Indulgence.
Ml-o-na cures by strengthening and
invigorating the flabby stomach walls,
and after a course of Ml-o-na treat?
ment, constipation, If there is any,
will entirely disappear.
Read this from the president of a
New York corporation:
"I have been a terrible sufferer
from dyspepsia and gastritis for two
years. The most eminent physicians
prescribed for me with no effect. I
have been absolutely cured by your
Mi-o-na tablets. The first one gave
me a relief almost Incredible."?Her?
bert H. Taylor, 601 West 143 street.
New York City.
Ml-o-na Is a most economical treat?
ment?a large box of tablets only
costs 50 cents at T. F. W. DeLorme's.

wise, who does not give them a trial,
