The Cotton CrOp.

From the best information obtainable
the condition of the cotton crop in the
territory contiguous to Brookhaven
may be summed up as follows: The
acreage is about the same as last year.
About half of the crop has come up
since the long spring drouth was bro
ken June 10th. In many fields, there
fore, the plant is of irregular age and
size, but both the old and young cotton
is clean, growing nicely and fruiting
well. Some farmers say that which
came up in June seems doing best and
promises full crop if not overtaken
by worms or an early fall. Present
estimate is that the general yield will
be three-fourths of an average crop. 1t
is estimated that % per cent. less
commercial fertilizer has been used
this year than last. Some of the older
cotton is opening.

twenty years of age, was killed in Law
renee county, twelve miles east of here

house and demanded retraction for an
alleged insult. This being refused he
told Russell he must retract or one or
the other would pay the penalty with
his life, at the same time drawing and
brandishing a knife Russell rushed
into his house and secured a shot gun,
by which time the negro had reached
his gallery, whereupon he emptied a
load of squirrel shot into Fairlys face
and head. The negro fell but attemp-
ted toraise and was shot second time,
death following soon afterward. Rus
sell surrendered to the authorities and
pleaded self-defense.

an insolent and insulting way toward
two of Russells neighbors Friday
