' CROP CONDITIONS.
1896
2,235,600.000
407,5.79.000
824,503,000
The New York Journal of
Commerce publishes the condi
tion, acreage and prospective
yield of the three principal grain
crops, as indicated by the Au
gust returns to the Statisticain
of the Department Agriculture.
The following table will furnish
a comparison between the crop
of the present year
1895
Corn.. .. 2,151,138,580
Wheat. 467,102 947
Oats . 662v636,8i8
The prospect is for the lai gest
yield of corn and oats ever
known. The wheat crop, how
ever, promises to be smaller than
the average of the past twenty
six years. , The average of the
three cror s for the two years is
as follows;
;. . 1895 1896
Corn. . . .82.075J820 81,000,000
Wheat. .. .. .U ...34,047,339 34,619,000
Oats :rA. 27,033,543 ,27,572,000
" It is ttus noted that there is a
decrease of a mile" more than
1,000,000 acres in the acreage of
corn, and an,,. incr' ase of nearly
600,000 and .. 550,000 acres, re
spectively in the f acreage of
wheat and oats.
At one time last year corn sold
as low as 26 cents per bushel.
This, in spite of the fact that the
corn crop of the preceding year
was the smallest since 1831.
When the crops of two years
amounted to 3,400,000,000 bush
eis, the price in "Chicago went to
26 cents. What will it do when
the yield of two ; years . amounts
to 4,400,000,000 bushels. This
crop promises to place on the
market vastly more corn than can
be sold at profit, and the price
per bushel in Chicago will doubt
less go below 20 cents.
The same decline may be look-
ed for in oats. The crop will be
large. .Last year oats sold in
Chicago for less than 17 cents
per bushel. This year they
will probably be lower still. The
prospect is good for a slight rise
in wheat, unless the low price of
corn and oats carries it down.
The prospective yield per acre
for the present year is as fol
lows: Corn, 27.7 bushels; wheat,
12.1; oats, 29.9. Last year the
average yield was: Corn. 26 2:
wheat. 13.7; oats, 24.5.
The condition of the cotton
crop is also given. It is 80.1
this year, against 91.8 the year
before.
This is an indication that pre
sent cotton prices -will be main
tained at least.

A Small
Spot lay
Be Cancer!
It ia Terr often that the moat Insig
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There ia
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such a case, where the first
symptoms were too small to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr. J. B. Arnold be
longs to one of the oldest and best
families ox Carolina; he is well and
favorably known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on. each side
having died from it. several years
ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer,
about the size of a bird-shot, appeared
lust under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing of it for
some time, until it began to grow rap
idly, spreading all the time, and de
stroying tbe flesh as it went.
Mt. J. B. aUCOIA
He saya: "It gave me a great deal
of pain those sharp, darting pains so
characteristic of cancer. I took many
ao-called blood medicines, without tbe
slightest effect, and sought the help of
the best physicians, but they did me
no good; one told me, however, that I
was incurable and had better make my
arrangements accordingly. X was on
the verge of despair, when Dr. J. I.
Miller, one of the leading druggists of
my town, recommended S. S. S. The
first bottle seemed to make me worse,
but Dr. Miller told me this was a fav
orable symptom, and by the time I had
taken the second bottle, the cancer be
gan to discharge, and as I continued
this became quite profuse, and kept up
for" some time. Then it gradually
grew leas, and after awhile ceased al
together, and to my delight the place
dried up and is cured entirely, so that
nothing remains but a scar.
"I consider S. S. S. a boon to suffer
ing humanitv. and feel that I owe my
life to it, as the cancer had made such
progress when I began S. S. S. that my
death was declared to be only a matter
of a very short time. The cure ef
fected in my case is considered . by
every one most remarkable, ana clearly
demonstrates the fact that S. S. S.
does cure hereditary canoer. v No one
who is afflicted with this dreaaiul dis
ease can afford to fail to ive S. S. S.
to convince them 01 its virtues." T;
The above is, but one of many re
markable cures being daily made by
6. S. S. Cancer is becoming alarm'
ingly prevalent, and manifests itself
in such a variety 01 forms, tnat any
sore or scab, it matters not how small.
which does not readily heal up and
disappear, may well be regaraea witn
usoicion. . .
The fact that S. S. S. cures heredi
tary cancer, which is considered in
curable, places it witnout an eqnai as
a sure cure for all manner of real
blood diseases, such as Scrofula, Ec-
Kma.. Contarioua Blood Poison, or
any other form of bad blood. Atlanta
