COTTON Is SUFFERING.
Crop Has Been Damaged Materially by
the Excessive Rains

II is eonservativcly estimated that
the cotton crop of the Delta has been
damaged at least twenty per cent by
the excessive rains of the past month.
Very few Of the showers that have fall
eu have extended over very large area,
yet 1t is fact that very few sections
of the Delta have escaped, What the
rains Of one day missed those of the
succeeding day were sure to find, and
there has been very few days daring the
past four weeks when rain has not fallen
somewhere in this section.
In great many instances cotton is
looking n Q, but it is putting on entire
ly too much weed, fruiting very slowly
and shedding is reported in some sec
tions. The writer heard one planter
say on the streets of Greenwood this
week that he had whole fields of cotton
that would hide man on horseback.
This is not uncommon for the latter
part of August and September, but it is
mighty big cotton for this season of the

The New Orleans pcaymc Of recent
date contains an excellent portrait Of
Mr.. Il, r. McShanc. of this city, togcth-
or with the following comment:
Mr.. Il, r. McShano, formerly OF New
Orleans and Mt present residing in
Greenwood, Miss, has been elected
President of the First National Bank
of that town. MIR. McShane was born
in New Orleans. He worked for Grocer
Charles Balleio for several years, and
next entered the employ of tho Illinois
Central Railroad Company and settled
in Greenwood, Miss. When the Bank
Of Greenwood was organized he took
part in the work, and was Cashier during
its entire existence as State Bank.
When it was changed to a National
Bank the Directors showed their ap.
prcciation of Mr.. McShanes faithful
services by electing him President. Al
though still comparatively a young
man, he is recognized as financial,
social and civic leader, and an honor to
his native and adopted State.
