Reports as TO the condition OF cotton
and estimates OF the crop are more than
usually conflicting.
From the same region we frequently get
directly contradictory reports as TO the
condition Of cotton and the estimates of
alleged experts run all the way from
$4,000 bales TO 1O,5OO0O0.
The last bulletin of the Department OF
Agriculture covers the period ended Sep
TENDER 18th and is far from encouraging.
IL states that the weather recently has
been so hot as TO hasten the opening of
cotton before full maturity and that the
drouth over almost the entire cotton area
except the Texas coast and eastern Flori-
da (where there has been too much RAIN
has cut of the late growth very heavily.
Compared with the same period last year
and with the first Of the present month
the reports from the several cotton States
are summarized as follows:
Alabama-Crop below average.
Arkansas-Steady deterioration. crop
very poor and no better than last year,
when 1t was failure.
Florida-Yield in lint deceptive.
Georgia-Three-fourth Of an average
crop.
Louisiana-Crop as good as last year.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS since Septem-
Der LIST but crop good average one.
North Carolina-Great deterioration
since September lst.
South Carollna-Considerab detero-
ration since September LIST
Tennessee-Crop shortened by drouth.
Texas-Crop considerably below the
average.
The government crop bulletins are much
more reliable than they formerly We're.
and II the statement summarized above
gives a true account Of the situation Dir.
Neins estimate OF a lO.5O000O bale crop
is certainly much too high.-Atlanta

IN Justice 10 Accomac let certain facts

Nor was II decided because e was shown
beyond question that Montague had a
majority of l25 in the popular vote These
afirmations had some weicht And Il
should be- frankly admitted that the high
esteem OF Accomac for Baker i. Leo had
its weight. But all this would scarcely
have secured one vote for recommittal, II
other weightv reasons had not barred the
way to confirmation.
IT was clearly shown that I'm the conduct

Captain Opie announced for the office.
whercupon Judge Hudson got a part Of
