RAILROAD WORLD.

W. L. Henderson agent of the land and
industrial department of the Southern
railway in Mobile, was In Birmingham
yesterday en- route to Mobile. In speaking
of the Industrial conditions in the state,
Mr.. Henderson said:
I'VE are about to produce the greatest
cotton and corn crop that the south has
ever seen. The cotton crop in Mississippi
will be the best that has ever been raised
In that state, and the crop in Alabama
is as good as I have ever seen 1t. The
rains have not done any considerable
damage to the crops in either state, for
they have been mainly local rains and
there have been no rains general enough
to swell the rivers and the larger creeks
IT have recently been over a goodly
portion of Alabama and Mississippi and
have had reports from all the districts.
think that our cotton crop this year is
going to be the best. There is but one
trouble and that is the question of secur-
ing sufficient labor. That Is a serious
question and 1t will figure in gathering
the crop OF course we cannot tell what
will take place between now and the
time to commence picking cotton, but
now 1t Is In good condition"
