better weather for breaking ground and
getting ready for fall wheat sowing, and
they are taking advantage of the oppor-

growing cotton bolls ana make fine sea-
son for turnips, the farmers are taking

RHoME, Sept. l9.-The cotton crop is
being rapidly gathered, and the large
receipts at this time of year are splendid
indications of short crop. However,
our section will make as many bales as it
did last year, owing to increased acre
age. With a fair cotton crop, corn sufi-
Gent for home demand, plenty of fat
hogs, and sleek horses and cattle, aud
comparatively out ofSlebt, our farmers
may be counted still in the swim.
