one hundred miles, and thence east sixty
eight miles through the cotton country
| have never in my life seen such an en-
tire failure of crops. l saw hundreds,
yea, thousands of acres, which will not
make five bushels of corn per acre and
not over fifty pounds of seed cotton.
From Opelika to Columbus, Ga it really
looks like starvation. 1t Is 50 dry and
hot that even trees are dying and shed
ding their leaves as in autumn All the
rain in the world could not change the
result now From West Point here
crops are very sorry. Corn will make
about seven bushels per acre, and cotton
