Some bolls Of cotton were brought
to this Office by a gentleman on Mon.
day morning showing the effect of the
rain on the growing crop. Some of
the bolls wero open and some were
just beginning to form. All of them
were rotten, and this shows that the
cotton crop has beon greatly damaged.
However, if the rain does not continue
for moro than two days the crop will
be all right although greatly damaged.

--In conversation with prominent
farmer of the county we learn that al
though the cotton crop has been con-
siderably damaged, still there is no
cause for extra elarm. Before the rain
the crop was. better than that of last
ycar, and what damage has boen done,
in the in tile opinion Of the gentleman
mentioned, will not bring the present
crop down to lower average than
that Of last year, if no unforeseen un-
favorable weather interferes. We
trust that this hopeful view of the mat
ter may prove correct. %
