WORMS DOING LITTLE DAMAGE.
A Good Crop OF Cotton Expected-Only
Few CaterpIilars Appearing.

A Good Crop Of Cotton Expected-Only
Few Caterpillars Appearing.
Private advices received by cotton
brokers in Savannah rather contradict
the rumors that the worm is seriously
damaging the crop in this State. In
Quiry yesterday of dealers who buy
from all over the Georgia cotton
growing region elected reports Of
prospective fine crop. The cater
pillar has appeared in some sections,
but at present its ravages are confined to
small territories. One gentleman stated
that he has been informed that some
Florida and some island cotton is threat
eued bV the worms. Iu the upland cOun-
tryt worm has appeared along the Sa-
yannah river, and is said to be doing con-
siderable damage on the Carolina side,
particularly in Hampton county.
Planters in that section are apprehen-
sive, and one grower VINO was in Savan-
nah tn s week took back home
a supply OF Paris green. A
dispatch from Tenuille to the NEWS
saws: Cotton through this section WAS
damaged by grass and rain earlier in the
season, and is now being damaged by
rust. A few caterpillars are making
their appearance. Between Atlanta and
Tennille the crOp ranges from inches

The greatest complaint is from the
southwestern counties, where the cotton
worm is causing the planters some appre-
hensi0n. Where the worm has not ap-
pcared the indications point 70 unusually
large crops. The upper counties seem 20
be comparatively free from both the worm
and caterpillar.
Br0dS'reet'S kilograms from Burke,
Coweta, Dougherty, Greene, Harris, Hen
~, Houston, Meriwether, Monroe, Pike,
Talbot and FrOup counties do not show
any injury from worms.
The prospects are reported good in
these counties by the same publication,
which Saws as TO worms: "Tbey are re-
| ported from many points, but not one
| case OF actual damage by them is re-
| ported" No serious injury is reported
! from worms in North Carolina, South
/ Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tonnes
see or Arkansas. In half a dozen Of the
/ largest counties Of Texas the worms have
made some ravages and damaged the
| crop appreciably. The crop is not yet
pas all danger, and will not be safe be-
fore Sept. 10.
A dispatch from Mitchell county yester-
dav stated that n new bale OF Georgia

Licensing Engineers and Conductor

Licensing Engineers and Conductors.
The suggestion has been made that the
various States should by law provide for
the licensing Of engineers and conductors,
and that none but those who have re-
ceived licenses he allowed to act as such.
This would make an examination neces-
sary. and would tend to elevate these
Occu patiOns more into a profession. 1t is
said that in Illinois movement is pro-
crossing looking to the enactment of 3
law of this kind. If it has be found
advisable or necessary in most States b.
require engineers in charge of steam
boilers To be licensed, why, asks the Rnii-
WGy Register, should locomotive engineers
be omitted? 1t is even more necessary
for those in charge of passenger trains to
