 The News Grows Worse.
 As the news from the hail and wind storm comes in from South Dallas and North Wilcox. 1t grows worse and worse. Mr. I. Matt. Meyer has only one negro cabin on his place that was not damaged, while twenty-three were more or less injured by the storm. He had 2,000 acres of corn and cotton liter ally beat into the earth by the hall. He estimates his loss at $4,500. It Is too late for him to plant his cotton over, but the richest of the land will be planted in corn, in the hope of the sea- son striking it right and thus enabling him to make a corn crop. Mr. Meyers experience Is similar to that of other planters in the section visisted by the wind and hail. After the storm, the hail covered the ground up to horses fetlocks. and some of 1t still lay on the ground twelve hours after 1t fell, There have been more hail storms in this section this season than have ever been known before.

 Selma, June 5.
 Dr. T. P. Gray Is one of the most successful cotton growers in this sec- ton. He owns large landed interests in both Lowndes and Dallas. and he is ever watchful of the interests of the planter. This morning, he said T am a pessimist about the cotton crop this year. The. start has been bad in. this section for a good crop and am fear full that what Is made will be eaten up by the worms this fall. My reason for this are good. We have been poisoning the worms for several years past up till last year, when the planters did not follow up their custom of kill ing off the worms with Paris Green. A good many made their appearance at the close of the season. and the mild winter that we had did not destroy them, and I am looking for the worms to make their appearance in great numbers this fall. have proven my faith by my works. and in order to protect nay crop I have ordered 1000 pounds of Paris Green. to be ready for the worst, should it be necessary"
