THE DEiifO FOR COTTON. Conditions Reversed by Mills in South Carolina- NEXT TO MASSACHUSETTS. l-firee-Fourths of South Carolina's Cotton is Now Manufactured at Home. Avoidinsr Long Hauls. Columbia,S. C., July 27. —While, •according to government reports, the condition of cotton in South Carolina is poorer than in any oth er state, the farmers may expect higher prices than anywhere in this country. A few years ago prices here were 30 to 40 points lower than in New York. Last year that condition was reversed .and, because of the increased local demand, the difference this fall will probably be as much as a half cent in favor of the local markets. This cnanged condition is due to the cotton mills now running in every section of the state. If the crop is as short as indicated these mills will consume three-fourths of the production, and to secure their stock at home without having to send buyers into other states and have long hauls on the-railroads will offer the bonus indicated. In the last twelve months South Carolina has taken her position next to Massachusetts in cotton manufacturing. There is yet a big gap between these two leading states, but the Palmetto is gaining with phenomenal rapidity. This state has led Rhode Island in the number of looms operated for sev eral years, but it is only now that .the textile authorities unite in put ting her ahead of that state in both looms and spindles.. The figures for the present time give Rhode Island 2,000,138 spindles and South Car01ina'2,249,709. Rhode Island has 43,691 looms and South Caro lina 63,612. North Carolina is next to South Carolina in the south in cotton manufacturing, and takes fourth place in the union. There the rule .lias been to build small mills. There are many more mills than in this state, but with an aggregate capital and capacity of much less. She has 1,692,332 spindles and 35,588 looms. New Hampshire ranks after North Carolina, then Georgia and Connecticut. The other states that manufacture op erate less than 1,000,000 spindles. According to the figures of a recognized textile authority, there was a gain in the United State? for the last year of 1,578,089 spin dles, or 75.10 per cent; and 34,084 lcotns, or 7 per cent. South Caro lina furnished 40 per cent, of the entire loom increase for the United States and about 68 per cent, of the increase in the south. The in crease for twelve months in spin dles was 390,363 for this state, or just about one-fourth of the total increase in the United States, and 40 per cent, of the additions in the south. Two years ago some business men declared that manufacturing here was being overdone, but after such remarkable expansion that idea is not now entertained. There seems no disposition to check mill building. A great water power in the Catawba river has recently been purchased by persons who contemplate its immediate develop ment, and it is intended to not only build mills near the river, but distribute thousands of horse-power, by electricity 7, where wanted in ad jacent counties. The China war has been a set back to a few South Carolina mills that haye for years been shipping goods direct to that market, and had these not been so strongly financially fortified, might have proved disastrous. As it was,most of them met the emergency 7 by 7 put ting in machinery for the weaving of finer cloth. There has been not the least trouble as to labor.

The labor is almost all local, but in the heav iest manufacturing centers the sup ply has been exhausted and in some instances the mountain re gions of Tennessee have been drawn on for hundreds of opera tives. In three factories in Columb a and Charleston the negro has been given trials in cotton mills and in every instance has failed. They are bright enough, but will not work steadily. Two Waysof Sayingthe Same Thing New York Times. American style; “President Mc- Kinley attended church this morn ing.” Turkish style (from the the official Constantinople organ); “The sun which lights up the firmament of the caliphate; the sublime moon of prosperitj; the most divine caliph; the head of all true believers, yesterday, a day full of bliss, attended the mosque, dazzling with holy light, which bears his august name, and which is one only of his lustrous and re nowned works. “In the elevated desire, which pleases God, to render the homage due to him, our august master,who is the source of immeasurable goodness; who wears the crown of charity, and who was seated in a marvelous carriage, a model in honor and of dignity without equal and hallowed by the shadow cast upon it by his majesty, arrived at the said mosque dazzling with holy light. There he acquitted his debt of homage, gaining by this means renewed holiness and bliss, which are added to his rare qualities. Then he returned again, surround ed by all that is majestic, to his palace, which is unique in the world. “Cries of‘Long live my padisha!’ ‘May God prolong his life eternal ly,’ (prayers worthy of him), rose toward the heavens, uttered by the imperial army, to which victory is already promised, and by his faith ful subjects.” Drouth Damage to Western Crcps- New York Evening Post. We published yesterday a series of letters%nd dispatches from thor oughly trustworthy correspondents on the spot, which sum up the damage done by the six weeks’ western dtought, and its probable effect 0:1 the prosperity of agricul tural America. The conclusions drawn seem to us genuinely reas suring. That is not because un nleasant facts regarding the loss of growing corn are disguised or ques tioned. Our correspondents frank ly state, as the concensus of sober trade opinion, that one fourth to one-third of the huge crop, which promised so well at the opening of June, is ruined. The further and serious loss in fodder, in oats, in vegetables, and in cattle, is also conceded, and a falling-off in both east-bound and west-bound rail way traffic is shown to be inevi- j tible. Nor is there any effoitj made, aftet the familiar Wall strett fashion, to argue that prices fer j what is left will rise so high that the country will be all the richer for the crop failure. But all of the writers agree ou two salient points, which are full of significance for the future. The farmers them selves are neither ruined nor dis couraged. They have accepted this year’s misfortune as one of the vicissitudes of life. Five succes sive years of abundant crops, sold at the best prices in a generation, have left them out of debt, and in many cases rich. The erstwhile populist farmers, as a Kansas cor respondent lately noticed, are es tablishing banks for the benefit of their own communities. Undoub tedly, their aggreate loss in 1901 will turn out very heavy but they can bear it. HE KEPT HIS LEG. Twelve years ago J. W. Sullivan, of Hartfort, Ccn.r, scratched his leg with a rusty wire.

I CARBUNCLES AND BOILS SYMPTOMS OF BAD BLOOD There is a popular belief that every boil is worth many times its weight in gold, and the sufferer patiently, even cheerfully, endures the pain under the mistaken idea that these little tormentors are health promoters; that they thin the blood when too thick, and cleanse and cool it when too hot or too rich. 011 the contrary, boils and carbuncles are evidence of blood poverty, or a fearfully depraved condition of that fluid. There may be no external evidence of bad blood until the warm days of spring set in motion the sluggish circulation and the pent-up impurities, unable to escape through the natural outlets, gather near the surface of the skin, and a Carbuncle or a Boil is the result. When the blood is burdened with an undue amount of this impure matter, the Bcfils come in greater number, eat deeper into the surrounding flesh, and, being nearly always located on a bed of nerves, cause the most intense suffering. Robust and apparently healthy people are subject to Boils, and there is always some hidden agency at work within the blood and system that will eventually undermine the health, but those whose constitutions are broken down by previous sickness or other causes, are most often the unhappy victims of Boils and Carbuncles. Exposure to the deadly malaria destroys the red corpuscles and reduces the blood to such a weak and watery condition that it succumbs to the boil-producing poisons, and the pale and sallow DANGEROUS CARBUNCLES. Mr. J. B. Soott, a resident of Hasel hurst, Miss., writes: “S. S. S. cured a malignant carbuncle on my neck which the dootors had been unable to bring to a head. Ae soon as I began to use S. S. S. I was relieved of pain and the dreadful carbuncle got entirely well. My skin is clear, sound and smooth, and I am well today through using S. S. S. lam 65 years old.” * .4 O kidneys or chronic liver trouble, brought on by lack of nutritious blood; or it may develop into a running abscess or ugly eating sore, causing years of suffering, and often terminating fatally. To seek relief from the inflammation and pain produced by these terrifying erup tions through the application of local remedies is natural and right, but this method of treatment does not prevent others coming, or bring the slightest relief to the disease-burdened, deeply poisoned blood. Only a thorough regeneration and building up of the depreciated blood can bring about a lasting cure of Carbuncles and Boils and prevent their reappearance. S. S. S. restores to the old blood all its lost properties, re-invigorating and giving it the healthy red color that only pure, fresh blood can have, and through this new blood strength S. S. S. uemoves every vestige of it, thus insuring a faultless circulation and healthy body. Those subject to boils or any skin eruption, old sores or ulcers, are asked to write our physicians all about their disease, and any information or advice wanted will be cheerfully and promptly given without any cost to the patient whatever.

Aug. 1. —Last night the United States soldiers who are stationed at Fort McPher son barracks went to the home of Julia Whitfield, a respectable wo man living near the fort, and after driving her from the house set fire to it.

If have a baby in the house you will wish to know the best way to check any unusual looseness of the bowels, or dr rrhoea so com mon to small children. O. P. M. Holliday, of Deming, Ind., who has an eleven months’ old child, says: “Through the months of fune and July our baby was teeth ing and took a running off of the bowels and sickness of the stom ach. His bowels would move from five to eight times a day. I had a bottle of Chamoerlain's Co lic, Cho'era and Diarrhoea Rem edy in the house and gave him 4 dreps in a teaspoonful of water and he got better at once.” For sale by Hall ami Greer e sufferer is continually nurs ing one or more of these feverish and painful erup tions.
