volve on us, when the Blood, which is the Life, is
tainted and infected with the germs Of disease.
Disinfect the fountain If you would have pure

every county reports the condition and pros
poets of the plant worse, the average tor the
State being 1913 per cent. Worms are do
ing considerable damage in some places, es-
pecially to the growth started since the rain.
There are thirteen reports which note their
having eaten, or that they are eating, the top
crop, and 6fty.two that there are none. The
average yield of seed cotton is estimated at
553 pounds per acre, while last year 1t was
635 pounds. The prospect for top crop Is
very poor-only eight correspondents regard
ing it good, while twenty-four say it is poor
and thirty.three that there can be none.
From Georgia and Florida there are re-
ports from one hundred and six counties, con-
tanning over 80 per cent. of the cotton lands
ofthese States. From one hundred and thir-
ty.seven of the correspondents the weather is
reported favorable for picking, while only
thirteen report it unfavorable. 1t has been,
however, generally unfavorable to the fur
ther growth and development of the plant, as
one hundred and fifteen correspondents report
it bad, while only thirty-6ve say it has been
good. There are thirty eight which say the
plant is still healthy and fruiting, mainly in
the richer and bottom lands; one hundred
and twelve report it as having stopped fruit
ing. According to thirty.two replies, the
plant has improved in condition and pros
pect since August %, twenty. eight say it is
unchanged, and ninety that it is worse. As
compared with the same date last year, seven
counties, raising 81 per cent, of the crop of
these States, say the condition and prospect is
equal, while ninety.nine counties report it
as worse. The average of the entire two
States is 2S.S per cent. below last year.
Worms are doing considerable damage. in
both States, especially in Georgia, where they
have appeared in great numbers since the
rains caused the plant to grow again. They
are eating all the new foliage aud young bolls,
thus destroying the top crop. There are
sixty.nine correspondents who say they have
done serious injury; eighteen, slight damage,
and sixty three that no damage has been done
These reports are generally from uplands,
where the plant has dried up, and where
worms seldom appear. The average yield Of
seed cotton per acre is estimated at $40
pounds this year ; it was 531 pounds last year:
A good prospect for a top crop is reported
by thirty correspondents, while one hundred
and twenty report there will be very little or
none.
The sea island crop has also suffered injury
from the long drouth and the storm at the
end of August. At last reports the plant
was shedding badly, especially in South
Carolina. The crops of Georgia and Florl'
da are more promising. The entire crop is
estimated to be about 20 per cent. worse than
the crop of last year.

GUANO COTTON.
r AM ordered by the Companies represented
/ by me, to urge these who owe them for Guano,
TO BRING I'm THE COTTON
AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE. The cotton
having already been sold on contracts in New
York, they are compelled to meetthose contracts.
Owing to the unprecedented early picking they
do not consider it necessary, or wise, to allow the
usual long delay in delivering cotton. 1t is ex-
pected that every one
WHO CAN PAY, MUST PAY;
And those who have not made enough cotton to
paw in full, to come forward, pay all they can,
make known their condition, and will do all in
nv power TO relieve them from unnecessary
EXPENSE AND COST.
Besides save their credit, which is worth more
than all the cotton they owe.
Those who bought GUANO from me at this
place; also at Hagans' Station, will deliver the
cotton, as usual, to Capt J. R. GARDNER, to be
weighed for me. -
nv Those who owe for FERTILIZERS bought
Of INV sub Agents at McConnellsville. Guthrles-
