Joseph F. Brown, farmer, R.
F. D. No. 2, Box 61 A, Newport,
Ark., says, “I suffered off and
on, for several years from kid
ney complaint. The kidney se
cretions passed irregularly, the
flow usually being too frequent
and obliging me to get up at j
night. Dull, heavy pains seated (
themselves in the small of my j
back and when I stooped, sharp, j
twinges darted through me. I
went from bad to worse until I
got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Dut
ton’s Drug Store (now Walk-1
er’s Pharmacy.) A few boxes
cured me.”

RAINS DAMAGE
COTTON GRADES
In Alabama And All States
West and Even In East Have
Been of Little Benefit.
As a resuITvof the 7 to 10 days
of practically continuous rains
for the week ending September
20, material damage to grade is
reported over a large part of
Alabama and in every state
westward to the limit of the
cotton belt. Some actual loss
of cotton is indicated from beat
ing rains, overflowed lowlands
and as a result of sprouting of
seed in the boll. This latter is
not a general condition being
confined to unfavored localities.
Little or r.o picking has been
done and in some sections the
gins have been unable to run for
want of a supply of cotton. At
the end of the week clear weath
er prevailed over these states
and field work will be very
quickly resumed.
The benefits from rains in
these states will be manifest at
a later date in more fully ma
tured late bolls and possibly in
the formation of some new fruit
if killing frost is long delayed.
It is not quite clear at this
time to what extent the out
turn will be helped from the
better development of small and
young bolls. Since however so
great per centage of the crop
was either open or ready to o
pen the addition will not likely
be large. This is notably true
in states west of the Mississip
pi river.
In Georgia and the Carolinas
rains were not so heavy as else
where but showers were fre
quent and delayed picking and
ginning. The early cotton is o
pening very fast. The late
plantings will be helped by the
rain, but generally this late
crop is said to be not well fruit
ed.
BY STATES.
North Carolina—In localities
there is much open cotton, in
others it is beginning to open
rapidly. Considerable rust and .
boll-rot and outturn is generally
unsatisfactory or below expecta
tions of some weeks ago. Rain!
of little benefit.
South Carolina—Cotton open- j
in rapidly. Rains of week of j
some benefit but excessive j
Thursday damaging to grades.
Good picking weather wanted.1
Ginning well ahead of last year.
Crop better than last year but
not so good as reported two
weeks ago.
Georgia — Heavy receipts
[ small interior towns. Old cotton
nearly all open from heat and
drouth preceding recent rains.
Young cotton maturing, but
generally said to be below ear
lier expectations. Rains of ben
fit but half of crop reached ma
Alabama—So much of crop
has reached maturity that rains
of week were of benefit only to
lowlands. Some damage to
grade from excessive precipita
tion. Planters selling freely be
cause of price. Crop generally
disappointing.
Mississippi—Week of almost
continuous rains. Very heavy
in sections. Much damage to
grade and some rotting and :
sprouting of seed. Great disap
pointment at outturn in boll
weevil districts and estimates on
crop distressingly low.
Tennessee—Rains of benefit
to lowland cotton, but not to
hills. Grade lowered. Lint out
turn from early pickings is light
Arkansas— Heavy downpour
of rain Hooded lowlands in many
sections. Some cotton washed
nit and some sprouting in bolls,
ren days of clouds and rain.
Slight benefits to late cotton, but
kicking greatly retarded.
Louisiana—No picking for
veek. Rain of no benefit. On

other hand much damage done.
Reliable estimates are that fifty
per cent of open cotton has
sprouted seed. Great damage to
grade.
Texas—No picking over en
tire state for ten days. Grade
damaged and some cotton lost
by beating rains and seed
sprouting. This damage not
general or heavy however. In
Northern counties with late
frost yield will be increasd. In
Central parts plant has taken on
new growth , with some slight
chance for late crop. Southern
counties too many weevil and
leaf worm to make any more
fruit. In western districts gin
ning will be completed very ear
ly as cotton is about all open.
Rains as whole of doubtful bene
fit.
As to Dignity.
If I am walking in the very eye of
heaven and feeling it on me where I
go, there is no question for me of hu
man dignity.—Meredith.
