The Crops.
The Suartanburg Spartan says: ave are glad
20 hear that the corn crop Of this district Is much
better than was expected. 1t is hoped that
enough viii be cribbed TO supply ou- wants with
out foreign importation. Cotton IS turning OUT out
well from the gin, but very scantiy from the
field. From all we can learn, we fear that nall
is too large fraction to indicate our cotton crop"

and with it, sixty bales OF cotton. On the same
evening, q few hours later, however, the gin

the Pine House, was also discovered to be burn
ing. 1t was destroyed, with sixteen bales OF cot
ton. These plantations are about three miles

evening, very naturally suggests the torch Of the
incendary.n
