THE TRUTH ABOUT NORTH CAR.
OLINA's COTTON CROP.

| of the most reliable facts, figures and
estimates on the North Carolina cotton
crop that the best posted cotton men in
| the State can give.
Three days ago letter was addressed
| to or personal inquiry made of
| two hundred leading cotton planters,
cotton buyers, cotton exporters,
cotton manufacturers and others who
had exceptional opportunities to
know the truth about this years
| the cotton belt The answers make
twelve columns of compact, reliable in
formation, coming from the best in.
formed men in North Carolina from as
far west as Cleveland county and as far
east as Craven, embracing all the inter-
mediate cotton counties.
The figures received and printed are
not News and Observer estimates, or
figures, but they are figures direct from
the cotton people themselves, ninety per
cent being made from actual knowledge,
for the report shows that only ten per
cent of the cotton crop remains in the
field. AS ninety per cent of the crop
has been gathered, our correspondents
ready gathered. They make estimates
only of the crop remaining in the field,
and the average percentage given shows
that the estimate is entitled to be re-
ceived as accurate.
Upon the figures printed, the average
percentage of this years crop as COM
and one-twelfth per cent. of last years
crop, which makes this years crop $685.
040 bales. The official report of last
years crop from North Carolina was
542,0 900 bales, but Virginias crop of
thirty thousand bales appears in
the official report credited. to North
Carolina, leaving North Cardinals crop
for the last year 900 bales, or $4,000
bales more than the crop of this year.
The reports show that the average
amount of lint cotton grown per acre
this year in North Carolina is one hun
dred and forty-one and third pounds.
The government report placed North
Cardinals acreage is the early spring at
a little more than 1900, 900 acres, but it
is we'll known that a considerable per-
centage of this acreage was abandoned
because of the excessive floods and
freshets during May and June. Taking
this into consideration the amount of
lint cotton reported per acre by our cor
respondents will make the crop about
the same as above figured, or in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 bales.
Mr. Neill,, in his recent eleven and a
quarter million estimate of the total
crop this year, we are informed, placed
North Cardinals portion at 100000 bales
Another bear statistician placed it at
| $4,000 bales. The question is, which
! knows most about the size of the cotton
crop in North carolina-tha men who
make it. handle it and spin it, or Mr.
Neill, of Liverpool and New Orleans. OF
| Mr.. Buston, of England. We prefer te
base our calculations upon the mer

ures and estimates appear on the ninth
