THE CROP PROsPRCT.-There have
been various opinions expressed here as
to the crop prospect in this section. The
heavy rains that fell last week caused
many of the forms to fall from the cot
ton, and some have been Of the opinion
that no more fell off than was needed:
that the stalks were too heavily laden
with forms to bear up all II full boil.
Others have thought that more forms
have been lost than is necessary for the
protection Of the stalk. If there should
be no more heavy sheds, there VIII be a
full crop gathered.
SENT UP FOR FIVE YEARS Two
weeks ago we noticed in about three
lines the stealing of some money from
the Office of MIR. g. W. Bryan at the de-
pot. a colored man named Clark who
had been working about the depot, was
arrested, tried and bound oyer to the
Inferior court. Before his trial came off
last week another colored boy named
Smith was seen spending money so freely
in Halifax that he was arrested on sus-
pici0n. He was jailed, and the prescott
ing counsel agreed that Clark should be
released.
Smith was tried in the Inferior Court
last week convicted and sentenced to five
years in the penitenhary. His counsel,
Mr.. E. L. Travis, took an appeal.

as fine crops as ever were made on the
American continent by the overflow OF
the waters Of the Roanoke. He has given
this matter great deal of thought and
any suggestion that he may give will be
worth a good deal to the committee.
