AIKEN CO. COTTON CROP TO FALL A LITTLE SHORT Aiken, S, C. —The cotton crop in Aiken county will fall a little short go what it did in 1913. Probably the main reason for this Is the fact that in early April this sec tion was visited by severe sand and wind storms, which killed the young cotton, necessitating the planting over of much of it. This late cotton, on fertile land, will make a fair crop if the seasons continue good. On the poor land, the cotton is very small and will not make anything hardly. The old cotton that was not killed by the wind storms Is fairly good U WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 is opening up well and it is said that it is weighing up well. The heavy rains during t«ie latter part of July and first part of August made the plant grow a large weed and it is not as well fruited as it might have been. The most serious thing that could happen now, probably is a long drouth. The corn crop seems to be good and the farmers of this county have been well blesed in that the seasons for the corn have been good, A great deal of late corn was planted and the farmers in this section are going for a lot of grain this fall. Oats will be planted very largely as will vetch and clover crops. Acute Indigestion. I was annoyed for over a year by attacks of acute indigestion, followed by constipation,” writes Mrs. M. .1.
