THE CONTEMPLATED ACREAGE.
The Cotton Report to the Department

The Cotton Report to the Department
Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The cotton re.
port to tho Department Of Agriculture
for May relates to che progress of cotton
planting and the contemplated acreage.
The proportion Of proposed breadth
already planted on the 1st of May was
s5.8 per cent, which approaches very
closely to the area usually planted at that
date. which is estimated at SO per cent.
The returned estimates for several States
arc as follows: Virginia, II; North Caro-
lima, IS; South Carolius, 90; Georgia, %;
Florida, 90; Alabama, %; Mississippi, s5;
Louisiana, 81; Texas, 81 Arkansas, y
that planting ;s we'll up to tho average as
to time. The only States that are behind
in planting are Virginia, where the
delay is caused by the cold and back
ward spring; Texas, caused by the ex
tensive drought and backward spring and
Arkansas aud Tennessee, where the ex'
tcnsive rainfall and cold weather re-
tarded operations. In some districts cor
respondents report drought, while II
ot.h.,eaTs, tho returns snow the retardipt
causes to be frost and excessive rain.
The termination has been slow and tn
growth OF the plant backward. Som
indications have been given as to tn
contemplated ucross ,as compared wit
that of last year, which was consider
ably below the average for q series o
years, ,fbutss sshey are of uncertainscharacte
and therefore it is impossible to base an
satisfactory predictions thereon and th
figures relating thereto are only give
to indicate what correspondent believ
to be the intention as to the acreage.
The reported increase averages 1s pc
cent. The percentage by States are g
follows: Virginia, 1873; North Carolina
118; South Carolina, 10e; Georgia, 1os
Florida, 11e; Alabama, 1902; Mississippi
90; Louisiana, 90; Texas, 100; Arkansa.
90; Tennessee, 100:
There will be less replanting tina
usual, owing to the great scarcity {
seed. An estimate ofthe acreage will b
made on the first Of June as usual.

For the vigilance of Jaiier scruggs
and Assistant Jailer Bobo Was
Too Much for Them.

II. b. Tuthll and Jim liitzhugh, two
white prisoners, made an unsuccessful
attempt to break Jail Saturday evening.
Their plans were frustrated by the yigl-
lance Of Tailor Scruggs and Assistant
Jailor BJbo who lock up the prisoners
every evening at o'clock.
They were occupied with that duty at
the usual hour Saturday evening when
the designs Of the two men were dis
c0yercd Tailor S,rugg- tells the follow
ing story OF the attempt the prisoners
made for liberty:

tercepted a note Or two from Fitzhugh to
someone ON the outside, Ia which Iitz-
hugh had asked for tools. Fitzhugh, 1t
is believed, came here from New Mexico.
