ing descriptions Of the cotton and corn crops

learn that the recent rams and hot weather
have had nost favorable effect on the corn
and cotton CROPS. 1t is the general opinion
that an abundance Of corn will be mads and
an amount Of cotton about as large as that
made last year. Much less corn will be neces-
sary than formerly, as kleptomania has given o

The Georgetown Times says: "The weather
continu, % hot aud dry. and the high land
CROPS are sufferln for want OF rain. Many
OF our planters do not seem as much encour-
aged OF the prospects OF the rice crop, which
are not as good as at last year about this
time. The cold spring has bsckened it very
much, and the stand, IN many cases, tbinned
out IN consequence of the seed not germinat-
ing properly. 1t IS doubtful whether the crop
viii be any better or even as good as the last"
