Woman’s Beauty 1 Some women retain their beauty to an advanced ■ age.

AT ALL DRUG STORES j| WHISKEY AND BEER CONSUMP TION GREATLY REDUCED. Chicago, Hl. —Statistics compiled by National Chairman Jones, of the Pro hibition party from an advance report of the United States internal revenue , bureau for fiscal year 1909, are put forth as a counter to the assertions of the Texas Brewers’ association, that prohibition never prohibits and that , more liquor is sold in “dry” than in “wet” territory. The assertions are contained in a statement which in part reads as fol lows : “On the basis of the official re cords issued by the internal revenue departments for the four fiscal years, June 30, 1905, to June 30, 1909, the fact develops that the liquor traffic during that time has come short of it expected sales to an estimated aggre- . gate total of 389,088,333 gallons ( of spirits and fermented liquors. “Putting aside totals of expected in crease of liquors production, which did not materialize in the last two years, , we find an actual drop in liquor pro duct of 1908 and 1909 from the figures of 1907, of 14,657,329 gallons of whisk ey and 2,142,614 barrels of beer. “Reckoning that the average mod erate drinker buys four drinks a day, SUMMER EXCURSION RATES To New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and the East, Via Savannah and Steamships The CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY is now selling sum mer excursion tickets to New Yoik, Boston, Baltimore and Phil adelphia, and resorts in the East, at very low rates for the round trip, Summerville to New York $40.50, Boston $45.00, Baltimore $32.00, Philadelphia $36.00, including meals and berth aboard ships.

COTTON FAMINE IMMINENT Unfavorable Conditions Prevail over ♦ a Wide Area We have no wish to assume the pose of an alarmist, but we are con strained to believe that the August bureau report on the cotton condi tions indicates almost a disastrously short crop. Ever since the commencement of spring, even before the crop was planted, we have consistently main tained that the prospects were adverse to a full crop this year, for rea sons stated, which seemed good to us. In this opinion we considered only the Texas outlook, and allowed for an average yield in other sections Things are turning just as we fore cast in Texas, but much worse else where. We never calculated on the exceedingly unfavorable conditions experienced in the central Gulf states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisian: i which produce something like 30 per • cent, of the total yield. Neither was it anticipated that the full extent of the Texas shortage would appear until the latter part of August. That the Texas conditions should have declined nine points for ' the month ending July 25th only shows how' effective were the de terioating influences at work. These I evidences will become plainer as the ■ resources required of the plant to . mature its load of fruit, become great er. The real damage has not result ed except to a limited extent from summer conditions,, but from winter: ti conditions, and is therefore practical i ly irreparable. But a partial crop failure will not be altogether an unmitigated misfor ? i tune. It ought at least to have the i good effect of leading the cotton ; trade of the world two very impor tant and useful lessons. > One is to show how utterly de- ■ pendent the world is upon our cotton . , crop. The other is still more import- ■ i ant. It is to demonstrate the folly I and absurity of magnifying a moder- I ate occasional surplus production into a basis for unduly depressing the i price below the actual cost of produc- . tion, and thereby discouraging the planting. We have recently discuss ed this point more fully. The New York Stock Exchange peo ! pie are lamenting over the assumed , consequence of a heavy curtailment of the money value of*our year's ag . ricultural products following the re- i duced yield of cotton in bales. ‘. It I is remarkable that such astute peo | pie are not aware that a crop of 11, • 000,000 bales will bring in more mon ey than a crop of 14,000,000 bales would. Even Texas would probably get as much for a scant 3,000,.000 bales as ! for 4,000,000. And those other! states which give promise of a good crop will profit enormously. Georgia, I with approximately 2,000,000 bales can reasonably expect $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 more than for any other ! cotton crop she ever produced.—Cot ton Record. He Drew the Line. I One of the governors of Missouri, ' Claiborn F. Jackson, married one af l ter another five sisters. ’“When for the fifth time,’ says Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri historian, ’’Jackson ' r broached a martial proposition to ( to his father-in-law the old man wa eighty and quite deaf. This is the conversation that ensued: “ ‘I want Lizzie" ) “ ’Hey? “ ‘I want you—to give me —Eliza- ■ beth.’ “ ‘Oh, you want “me to give you Elizabeth, do you? What for?? “ ‘For my wife.’ “ ‘For your life?’ “ ‘I —want —to —marry —Lizzie “ ‘Oh, yes, Ihcar you. You needn't rouse the neighborhood.” “ ‘Well, do you consent?’ “ ‘Yes; I consent,' said the old mat. and he shook his head and added slow ly: “ ‘Yes, you can have her. You’ve got ’em all now, my boy. But for goodness sake if anything happens to that girl don’t come back here and ask me for the old woman. ’’ Cholera Infantum Cured. “Something like two years ago my baby, which was then about a year old, was taken seriously ill with chol era infantum, vomiting and purging ■ profusely, writes J. F. Dempsey of Dempsey, Ala. I did what I could to relieve her but did her no good, and being very much alarmed about her went for a physician but failed to. find one, so came back by Eider Bros. & Carter’s store and Mr. El der recommended Chamberlain's Col ic Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. I procured a bottle df it, went home as quickly as possible and gave the baby a dose of the remedy. It re lieved her in fifteen minutes and soon cured her entirely.” For sale by Summerville Drug Co., Summer ville, Ca. UNCLE SAM. The Way Our Nickname Is Said to Have Originated The familiar nickname for the Uni' ; ted States is said to have come 1 about in the following manner. During the war of 1812 the United > ; States government entered into a con j I tract with Elbert Anderson to furnish ' : supplies to the army. Whenever the: United States buys anything from a‘ j contractor it appoints an inspector to j \ see that the goods are up to the spe ! cifications. In this case the govern-, 1 ment appointed a man by the name of Samuel Wilson. He was a jolly, whole i settled man, and was familiarly j known as Uncle Sam. : It was his duty to inspect every box ! and cask that came from Elbert An derson, the contractor, and if the con-i tents were all right the cargo was ; ! marked with the letters “E. A. —U. S. j the initials of the contractor and of the United States. The man whose duty it was to do ; this marking was something of a jok-; I er, and when somebody asked him , I one day what these letters stood for j he said they meant Elbert An- I derson and Uncle Sam. Everybody, including Uncle Sam himself, thought this a very good joke, and by and by it got into print, ; and before the end cf the war it was known all over the country, and that i is how the United Slates received the name of Uncle Sam. —Des Moines Rog 1 ister and Leader. Bull Butts Engine off Railroad Track j Huntsville, Ala.—An engine and two cars of a freight train on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis were wrecked north of Elorli Friday when the engine struck a large bull. - Engineer Nathan Jones and Fireman Shepherd were badly scalded. The engine turned over and the two men were caught, underneath, but were not crushed. Engineer Jones says the bull literally butted the engine off the track. The animal refused to get off when the whistle was blown and bell rung, but made a charge on front of the engine as it approached him. The coal fields production of the United States for the year 1908 shows i a falling off of $82,484,781 as compared with the production of 1907, accord ing to a report issued by the United States Geological Survey. This was \ due in a large measure to the effect lof the panic of 1907, added to which there as a general suspension of oper- J lions in the bituminous regulations onU April 1, pending an adjustment of the' wage scale The total production of coal in 1908 was 415,842,691 short ’ tons were Pennsylvania anthracite and 314,117. vir inis amount 83,268,754 tons were Pennslyvania anthracite an 332,573,262 was bituminous and lignite The total production in 1908 showed a decrease of 64,520,726 short tons or i 13.43 per cent, with a value of SB2 484..781. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy Never Known to Fail. “I have used Chamberlain’s Colic, 1 Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since it was first introduced to the public in 1872, and have never found one instance where a cure was not speed ily elfected by its use, I have been a commercial traveler for eighteen years, and never start out on a trip without this, my faithful friend,” says Mr. H. 8.
