GEORGIA CROP REPORT.
The Outlook Very UnfavOradIe For
Cotton As Well As Grain.


Atlanta, Ca. Sept. s.-Excessively dry
weather. with warm days and cool nights,
predominated during the past week, to
the serious detriment of all growing and
maturing crops. Cotton continues to open
very fast, and picking is advancing with
all possible dispatch. The crop is now too
far advanced to be benefited by rain. In
deed, it is a question if this crop would
not be considerably lessened now should
rain occur. More than half the crop is
now open. The most sanguine place their
estimates at not over two-thirds of crop,
while the major portion of our corre-
spondents think it will not go much be-
yond 80 per cent of last years crop. Tur-
nips are suffering seriously, and unless
rain occurs very soon the entire crop will
be a complete failure. Pastures are dry
ing up and stock growing thin. In many
sections stock water is becoming very
scarce. Streams are drying up and springs
and wells getting low The housing of
late corn has commenced, with prospects
very discouraging as to the yield Young
cotton, peas, corn, potatoes and other
minor crops will be ruined without rain
very soon. Rain is also badly needed to
soften up the ground and put 1t in con-
dition for blowing and fall seeding. Car
dens are completely ruined and there are
practically no vegetables for home con-
sumption.
Dry weather continued throughout the
northern counties during the past week,
except in a few favored localities where
rain fell on Sept. 4, temporarily breaking
a drought which has lasted six weeks.
While the rain came too late to benefit
cotton, it freshened up other vegetation
considerably. over most of the northern
section the drought continues, and all
crops are suffering seriously. Cotton is
opening very fast, more than half the
crop is already open, and is being picked
as rapidly as possible. The crop in this
section is variously estimated al from half
to three-fourths of last years yield.
Reports from counties throughout mid
die section of the state are even more
discouraging than those from the upper
counties. No rain, except a few light and
widely scattered showers, too light to lay
the dust, has fallen, and vegetation of
every kind is drying up. Cotton picking Is
in progress and being pushed forward as
all open. 1t is thought by many of our
correspondents that this years crop will
not be over half of that of 1895.
The prevalent weather conditions
throughout the southern counties have
been very unfavorable to the growth of
vegetation during the past week. The
light showers which fell during the latter
part of the preceding week were followed
by excessive sunshine which had ten
dency to scald vegetation rather than pro-
mote it's growth. Early cotton is nearly
all opened and much of it has been ginned
and sold. Late cotton is looking very bad,
| the leaves hnd bolls are dropping before
| maturing. The crop is considerably be-
| low the average.

The county commissioners met at
Springfield yesterday and fixed the rate
of taxation and took under consideration
the building of a freproof Jail. 1t was
decided to advertise for bids for the cree
ton of a Jail. The rate of taxation had
to be increased a little, on account of the
expense that will be incurred in building
the Jail. The county taxes last year were
70 per cent. of the general state tax; this
year they are so per cent. The state and
county tax together make a total of $500
per $1,000 The county is in a better con-
dition, financially, than ii was a year ago,
and were it not for the building of jail,
the taxes would have been lower this year
than they were last.

The Savannah (Ga) Morning News of
Saturday last published a review of the
business OF that city during the year end
ed Aug. 81. Carefully prepared figures
show the value of trade during the year
to have been $12S, 400, 900. an increase Of
100000 over a year ago. While there
was a falling off in cotton receipts, the
higher price of the staple added 100000
to it's value. The naval stores trade
shows a largely increased volume. but the
low prices DEPRECATED the total value of
the crop. When the depression of BUSH
