TOO WET FOR COTTON.
THE CROP BEING CHOKED WITH
GRASS IN MANY SECTIONS.

e More Serious Damage Likely to FOL
low by the Plant Growing to Weed
The Advices of Factors Not En-
couraaing TO a Large YIeld-The
Drop In the Red River Country.
Reports received by the cotton factors
from the country are to the effect that the
continued rains may have very serious et-
feet upon the crop. The crops are now in the
grass which is becoming worse every day.
With dry weather and hard work, however,
the farmers can rid themselves Of this. A
moro serious result anticipated is that the
excessive moisture in the ground, which
will continue for some time after the rains
cease, will cause the plant to grow largely
to weed.
When the wet season Is followed by an
August drought which is regarded as q cer-
tsinty, the plant being full OF sap will be In
no condition to stahd the dry spell and will
throw off the greater part OF the young
fruit which it has accumulated. The re-
suit will be short crop.
With the effects OF the wet spell and the
well known facts of reduced acreage and a
large decrease in the use OF fertilizers, cotton
men generally feel that they can expect
much smaller yield this year than last. The
heavy foods all over the country, and
especially in the west, will reduce the crop
many thousands Of bales.
letter recently received from the Red
River country OF Louisiana, one Of the
heaviest cotton producing sections of the
south, gives vivid description of the dis
aster caused by the recent floods.
"Since you heard from me last, it says,
"the Red river has been on quite tear and
the newspaper accounts OF the destruction of
in aNarUaFatA1
This flood has bust at least
seven out of ten Of our river farmers. The
first crop has been an entire loss. The
second crop is in every stage Of growth
from the seed freshly sown in the muck and
mire up to the cotton that has been chopped
out At least 30 per cent. Of the river
lands will not be planted from the fact that
the water is not yet off the land"
Great damage has also been done along
the Tombigbee and Alabama rivers in
Alabama by the foods. Arkansas and
Mississippi have also suffered from the
floods The floods will tend to largely re-
ducs the yield, as the river lands are heavy
producers.

The Government Finally Recognizes
the south Bound.
The government has at last decided to
make the South Bound railroad a mail
route. 1t took its time about it, however
and most people had given up the idea that
the government was enterprising. in view Of
the fact that for months it has seemingly
been unable to see the great saving in time
which would DO made by sending the mails
from Savannah to Columbia and Columbia
to Savannah by the Magnolia route. The
road was equipped for the service long ago,
but still tSe government allowed the mails
take the long route via Augusta. Post
master Doyle received the following order
from Washington:
Railway mail service is authorized by the
Postmaster General on route No. 120.0il from
Savannah, Ga, by intermediate postotfices, to
Columbia, S. C., from Aug. /, 1892, by the
South Bound Railroad Company.
The news will be well received by the
business community which has dealings
with Columbia and other points in its
vicinity and will prove a great convenience.

Agency has an enterprising colored youth
named Murray Monroe in his employ as an
Office boy. Monroe wanted a weeks vaca.
ton, but Mr.. Berry couldn't spare him and
told him so. The boy then began to look
around for a means TO accomplish bis pur-
pose. Saturday afternoon q telegram was
delivered at the office addressed to Monroe,
in care OF Mr.. Berry. 1t was dated Atlanta
and stated that Monroe's sister was quite Ill
and he was wanted at once.
When Mr.. Berry saw the telegram
he Immediately suspected its genuineness
and began an Investigation. In a very short
time be discovered that the telegram was a
forgery and that a colored Western Union
messenger named Larkey. who is a warm
friend of Monroe's, was the forger.
Monroe felt much chaRrined over the fail
