Five Inches of Rain Falls I'm Thirty-six
Hours In the state of Mississippi.
The severest rainstorm for years pre-
vailed throughout almost the entire State
of Mississippi for thirty-siX hours. Five
inches OF rain fell at ViclSsburg, and the
heaviest rainfall ever known is reported
from many points. All the smaller streams
have overlooked their banks, and much
damage has been done 10 roads and bridges.
The railroads have been badly washed out
and trains are all delayed or aban-
doned. AT Yazoo City the river reached
ten inches above the highest point reached
last year and was still rising. All the cot
ton warehouses are more or less submerged,
and many families, mostly colored, living
in the lower portion OF the city, have been
driven from their homes West Point, Cam
ton, and Memphis report the hardest rain
for years, the whole country heing covered
with water and railroad traffic entirely
suspended.

Southern Crops Backward.

The Atlanta Constitution prints n review
OF the farming situation throughout the
South, based upon the declaration of the
Hon. r. T. Nesbit, Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, that the prospect had not been so
bad in forty years. From South Carolina.
Alabama and Mississippi reports are that
farm work is fully one month behind. and
that with the most favorable prospects the
record OF last year could not be attained.
The consensus of opinion is that the reduc-
tion OF acreage and the delay In farm work
will cut of the cotton yield by at least half
million bales. Other crops are likewise
backward.
