but despite the danger of explosion the fire department
maintained its ground and succeeded in connnng the
damage TO the building in which the IRE originated

THE CRoPs-Wc have converscd with in
tellirent merchant who has lust returned from
curson of weeks in the interior Of Georgia. and
who has particular inquiries as to the extent OF
ri: cUt,o crop as also the probable injury which it
has sustained by the Caterpillar and Bore Worm. From
all that he could learn Georgia will be materially IN
urcd while the greater portion OF Alabama, Louisiana
and Mississippi vii! be swept OF fully onehaii OF the
estimated product two months since. 1t is the general
opinion in those sections that in event can the crop
reach millions while the most intelligent men with
whom our informant conversed estimate it at Is or
100000 bales We learn also that the crop in this State
will not probably, much exceed that of last year The
Caterpillar and Worm have appeared on several plsna
tons in the upper districts. tCharleston News I'D.
