Crops in NHissfssIpps.

Reports from forty-fve counties
in the State are almost unanimous in
the opinion that the corn crop is
equal to last years, which was the
best male in the State since the war.
Dat crop about ten per cent less than
last year. Cotton crop at least two
weeks later than last year, plant
small, and in many localities stands
are bad. Outlook for cotton crop al
this time not as good as last year
by fifteen per cent.

In our Issue of June Odd, 1888, we
mentioned the announcement of Col.
r. b. Withers, of Lincoln county,
for Legislature, in the following
way:
"R. B. Withers, of Brookhaven,
has announced himself as a candi-
date for the Legislature from Lin
coin county. fl the members of this
great (O body ever get up horse
discussion, Col. Bob. will come out
about two lengths ahead in the de-
bate. He knows something about
dogs, too" AS it has casually come
to our ears that the above article has
been the subject of comment by
some not thoroughly acquainted
with Col. Withers, and thereby ena-
bled to judge the spirit with which We
referred to his knowledge of horses
and dogs, and as personal friend
of Mr.. Withers, we deem it not more
than is due him for us to explain, 70,
the benefit to those to whom be is
not known, that it was not our in
tentiol to depreciate his high stand
ing where ever known. All who
know Col. Withers know that he
takes great pleasure and pride ir
fine stock of every kind; being fonG
of sport. he takes pleasure in a flint
dog or Utica Monitor.
