Cotton Crop.

j. L. Cox, division freight agent of the Southern railway in Mississippi, passed through Birmingham last night on his way to Atlanta. MT. Cox. in going over his division has an opportunity to closely ob- serve the condition of the crops. and said:
 The cotton crop in Mississippi for the coming year bids fair to be a large one. Fields are in splendid shape. They are ex- ceptionally clean and the stands are good. So far, the weather has been almost ideal. Another encouraging factor is the labor question. For the last year or two the unusual prosperity of the south incl dent to the high price of cotton has lost to the farmer many of his hands, who moved to the towns and in numerous in- stances it has been impossible for him to have his crop properly worked. This year. however in Mississippi, at least, conditions in this respect are greatly im- proved. l don't hear as much complain. about the scarcity of labor, and most farms seem well supplied. In the delta particularly, the largest cotton producing section of the state, crop prospects are very satisfactory. The outlook for the corn crop is about the finest l ever saw -
