CAUTION TO PLANTERS.

d. c. Newcomb, of Franklin Parish, In i,
writing to the N. o. Delta, says: A circum
stance occurred at my plantation a few days
ago, which may be Of some importance to the
cotton planter. I had large quantity of cot
ton seed to accumulate at my gin, which ]
had removed by hauling it on my corn ground.
When we got in about the centre of The pile
We found it to be on fire, and had burnt the
seed into perfect coal, some two yards
square. Had it not been SC much smothered
by the quantity of seed on the top, have no
doubt but it would haye broke out and con-
sumed my gin. We often hear Of gin-houses
being burnt, during the cotton picking season,
which is always attributed to some incel.di-
ary. There is no doubt now in my mind that
most of the gins that are burnt from unknown
causes, proceed from spontaneous combustion
as above stated.
