The heavy rsiDs OF last Thursday
night 10 Sunday morning has almost
ruined the prospects for anything like
a cotton crop in East Carroll, and
there are many persons who do not be-
lieve that there will now be realized
much more than halfs crop Up to last
Thursday there was two weeks of the
finest kind of weather. and the crops
bad changed very much 10 that length
of time, and the hard-worked planters
had bcuyaDt hopes that the crop was
going TO be large enough for them to
square accounts and realize a little
profit, but everything is changed now.
Everybody feels blue, and from those
that we have talked to say that If bali
crop is made it will surprise them.
Mr. Alex StockDer of the Bend told us |
on Monday that it looked like nearly |
half of the bolls on every stock were |
ruined. MIR. T.. S. Sitton showed us an |
open boil that the seed we're sprouting
in the cotton. Mr.. Charley Blount, !
who has fiue crop near to wn, told US
that be examined several stocks that
had as msny as fifty open boils aud
there was not boil that was not
ruined by the seed sproutiug. Mr.. L.
Davie, is another planter, who bad
4 fins crop, who told us that bis crop
Is almost ruined, aud that if he realizes
half crop be will be satisfied No
ionbt every planter in the parish has
uttered Ia the same way, and that the
'rops will be found damaged nearly
ialf by the horrible spell of wet wealth
n Ii other sections OF the cotton
rowing country has suffered in the
anne way, perhaps the price will go
boVe the 9-ceBt mark, which will help
hem to pull out of the kinks very
much. Let us hope so at least.
