Our correspondents report that the
crop from the beginning Of the sea-
son has not prospered at any time as
was expected and that much land
was abandoned after planting was
finished, on account of wet weather
and scarity of labor for cultivation.
A large falling off in the yield is re-
ported from all the states, save North
and South Carolina and parts Of Geor-
gia. In Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and localities in Texas the
yield will be so small as to amount to
disaster to many planters. Picking
has progressed well under favorable
conditions and the crop has been gin
ned and marketed rapidly.

THE STATE HOUSE CASE.
Issues of Long Standing to Be Deter
mined.

Columbia, November 23.-One of
the remarkable and most interesting

five years and now the issue is square

sembly Messrs. Robert Aldrich, Of
Barnwell and r. Y. Williams, of Lam
caster, as special committee, were
charged with the duty of bringing a
suit against McIlvain-Unkefer Com
pany, as contractors and Frank P.
Milburn, as architect. This special
committee, after going over the field
and the testimony, arranged with
Messrs. Mitchell & Smith, Of Charles
ton, and Clark & Clark, Of Columbia,
to represent the State in its suit for
100000 against the contractors and
architect. Mr.. Henry NJ. Smith, Of
Charleston, and Mr.. Washington

the conduct of the case for the State.
Mr. Milburn is represented by Messrs.
Barron & Ray and Nelson & Nelson
and one Of the contracting frm-Mr.
Johnson-is represented by DePass &
DePass, the other members of the
firm evidently being Indifferent to the
cause. The complaint alleges &pn-
spiracy between the contractors and
architect, and it is this phase CT the
question which accentuates the inter-
est in the fight.
Every step of the case is being hard
fought and from the drift Of the con-
test this morning the defense expects
to try and gain non-suit and there
by let the case fall.
The jury was gotten together With
much more ease than was expected
and contrary to general expectation
the case was promptly started at the
opening Of the court.
