Discouraging Reports from Texas.

The cotton reports from Texas are not encouraging; neither are the corn crop reports.
 The bright prospect for an abundant yield Of corn has been swept away by the continued dry weather, and the yield will fall far short of what anticipated The drought has done great harm to the cotton crop. except in east ern Texas, where too much rain has fallen. and where dry weather was just what farmers needed. Even there. however, there is be- ginning 70 be too much sunshine and heat, and complaints are heard. In central Texas. where something over one third the cotton crop is produced, the cotton has suffered from several causes and the prospect is not bright Grasshoppers and other insects did injury in the northern part. while worms are reported from many points in the southern portion. The importance of these indications is a. once apparent when 1t is stated central and north Texas produce G per cent of the Texas cotton crop. The reports from south west Texas are almost uniformly bad.

Willing col ored men were present to apply the lash, in ciuding relatives of the offender. and he was taken out and whipped terribly in the village street.

The Damage to Sugar Cane.
A dispatch from New Orleans says

A ,.
 Internal Revenue Inspector Horn has re- turned from an inspection of sugar planta- lions affected by the Rescue crevasse in Iber- vile parish. and reports the amount of damage done to the cane crop as much larger than at first imagined. In all forty-three plantations lying in the parishes of East Baton Rouge Iberyille Ascension and Livingston, are over flowed and crops wholly destroyed MT. Horn declares that sugar whatever will be made on any plantation in the district except at the Belle Helena factory, in the highlands of Baton Rouge. As a matter of fact there will not be enough seed left to plant the crop next year. These forty-three planta. ton produced ls,s97,9is pounds Of sugar last year. Their crops were !n much better condi- ton this year than last. and they had taken ont licenses to make BIT i30 pounds which they would have done The loss to the planters in sugar alone will be 1896 i8i. while the fed eral government will save s30s 3ss which it would otherwise have had to pay in bounties half dozen of the big planters will be able to stand the loss. but the smaller ones will be generally ruined
