Damage TO the Cotton Crop in
Alabama.

MONTGOMERY, August 20.-Reliable
reports from all parts Of Alabama repre-
sent the destruction of cotton By worms
more thorough than ever before. They
have taken the leaves of until the fields
are rs bare AS after frost. The naked
condition Of the plant reveals the fact
that the mature fruitagc is not as
great Us usual this season OF the year.
Fears OF an universal bankruptcy among
the planters are entertained. No one ex.
poets the crop will equal that Of last year.
