er. Three weeks ago his prospects of a line
yield of cotton were the best he has had in
many years. Mr.. John Simpson, another ex-
celIent farmer in the vicinity Of Halsellville,

ton of his cotton crop. And from Carmel
Hill, extending to Broad river, comes the sad
story ofa half crop. The eastern, and, for the
most part, the southern portions of our county
have been visited with timely rains, and as
consequence, both the cotton and corn crops
promise good yield. This is invariably the

places where General Green has not been kept
in proper subjection, there will be conse-
quent diminution in the production of both
corn and cotton.
