Rain in Cherokee.

Advertiser Bureau.


 Farmers In the city today report that the heavy rains of the past wfek have ruined the cotton crop. This report IS not confined to any one locality of the County but seems to be general and from every direction comes the same report. Too much rain is stated to be the cause and 1t Is expected that the crop this year will be shorter than It has over been in this County. during any previous year.
 The cotton plant itself Is reported 10 be in a healthy condition and In most fields the growth Is exceptionally large hut the rains have caused the cotton to rust in the bolis and the most of the boils that are not ruined by rust are dropping off of the plant. In many cotton fields it Is reported that the wa ter Is standing in great ponds so great has been the rainfall.
 While this is reported to be the gen. eral condition on the most of the farms in the section surrounding this city there are a few farms where the crop will be above the average. But where the crop is reported good there has not been such rainfall as there has been in other parts of the County. The poor reports that are coming. in regard to the cotton crop from all over the South are causing the farmers to anticipate getting an exceptionally high price for their cotton this season and the pros poets are that they will not be disap- pointed.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPENING.
Large Attendance at Many Rural Instl'

EhCuhhOhas
 Brewton, Aug. 1S,-(Spectal .)--A number of the county public schools have opened. and they all have very good attendance. In speaking along educational lines, County Superintend- ent of Education J. B. CBaunon satd:
 The people of Escambia County are awakening to their duty on educational affairs, as well as the whole State of Alabama. Alabama must soon rank with her sister States as far as she now stands sbind. The public funds are altogether inadequate. The per capita apportionment amounts to only $l.45 and from this must be taken the commission of the County Superintend- ents. The average for each pupil in at- tendance is only $4.41. Think of main taining an adequate system with that sum. The idea Is absurd. It is little wonder that the buildings are make shifts, that the terms are short. that the teachers are poorly prepared and moro poorly paid; that the per centage of illiteracy Is high and that expendi- lures for the support of pauperism and the punishment of crime are great.
