immense amount of damage, as IT is safe To
say that there was more open cotton In the
fields than ever before at this time OF the
year. The late storm not only stopped the
plant from growing, but also from fruting,
and the weather since has been SO favorable
that the cotton In many places Is nearly all
open and the planters long ways behind In
picking cotton.
Along some lines comes the information
that the planters In some sections are dis
posed to hold their cotton for better prices

some parts of Alabama and N Mississippi white
cap-ism has taken a new departure, In that II

who take any action either in preparing the
crop for sale or selling 1t. till the price OF ten
cents per pound for It Is reached. We are

writer, none Of these courses have takeh root
