Luckily flies die young. The Westminster coroner recently said: “Ladies who kiss Pekingese and other dogs on the nose and mouth, should know that they are liable to acquire the horrible hydatic cyst (a malignant growth), generally with fatal results.” The old Mansion House at Green ville, South Carolina, is being razed to make room for a new million-dol lar twelve-story hotel.

Crop Outlook Crop conditions according to last report: While the government’s last report indicated crop slightly under 12,- 000,000 bales, when the trade ex pected about 12,400,000 bales, it has caused the trade throughout the world to make a new alignment as to what we may expect from the growing crop. Telegrams yester day covering the entire belt would indicate that the crop is doing fairly well, and that Texas could get along comfortably for another ten days without rain and without injury to the crop, the idea being that high temperatures have continued to check the weevil, while rains would have accelerated the weevil damage to an extent probably in excess of the damage from high temperatures. The trade does not believe that the crop is likely to be in excess of 12,- 000,000 bales, as the boll weevil has to be considered, and will, as usual, get in its work somewhere around the Ist to 15th of August, bearing in mind that the crop is late, and the boll weevil aggression will probably be correspondingly de laved. MARKET: With a 12,000,000 bale crop, which seems to be the maximum, cotton at the prevailing level, does not look high. In the meantime, trade conditions, do not look favorably on buying cotton just now, but anticipate that when the manufactured article again estab lishes its value upon a paying basis compared to raw cotton, we may easily see very much higher prices. CORN: Hot weather has prevail ed over the main corn belt the past week, and in some sections the crop has made great improvement, but there is very large territory that may be regarded as almost hope less as far as raising commercial grain is concerned. I twill be sev eral months possibly before the crop can be accurately estimated, and the vield will depend largely on when the first killing frost occurs. The apparent scarcity of old corn at the moment is due in part to the fear of the producer to part with nis grain on account of the outlook for the new crop. . OATS: Harvesting is making rap id progress in the territory of the commercial crop, and we expect that the final estimate on the yield this vear will be around 1,400 million bushels or 100 million bushels more than harvested last year. The three Canadian Provinces have slightly in excess of 200 million bushels or about 150 million bushels less than last year. Feel that oats price will remain relatively high.

Typhoid fever can be be prevent ed by vaccination. The State Board of Health furnishes bacteria free. This can be secured at the drug stores by yourself or physician. In order to be immune from typhoid fever vaccination should be used every two years. We think it ad visable to make yourself immune from typhoid fever.

The State Board of Health has is sued warnings against small pox which has also become prevalent in many localities in Georgia, and in other states. Small pox can also be prevented by vaccination. This vac cination is also furnished free by the State and can be secured as typhoid bacteria from the drug stores.
