the greater number express the be- lief that the cfop will bring 14 or IS cents pound.
 The reports. Mir. Seymour says, are indicative of a greater deterioration In the condition of the crop than lie has ever seen in a period of ten days.
 There has been a drought in many sections of the State, and the bolls have been opening prematurely. In some spots. there has been a surplus age of showers. A large proportion of the correspondents express the opin- ion that there will not be more than a three-quarters crop. It seems the general belief the crop will be smaller than last year.
 Following are the extracts from the reports by counties, with the name of the correspondent or correspondents in each county:

 J. U. S. wiIlis-Cotton has deterior- ated very much in last fifteen days. though the yield will be equal to last year Crops of food stuffs better than last year; generally good. I think the minimum price of middling should be around 13 cents in the interior.
 Bibb, E. N. Cottingham-Middle and top crop practically ruined. Opening prama turely. Shortest crop in years in this county. Ought to have any where from Is to 20 cents for it.

 ". A. Ellis-EarIy corn Is good and IS well matured. Late corn is needing rain. Cotton is not as promising as ten days days ago. The crop is very late and is shedding badly. The farm CTS ought to realize 13 cents for this crop.
 Bullock, J. T. Flewellen-The i'm tense heat of the sun the past ten days has blighted the cotton crop very much in this county. and the consensus of opinion is that the yield will be about e5 per cent of a normal crop. Corn Is little better than usual Other crops fairly good. Fifteen cents should be the minimum price for our cotton. S P. Rainer-Corn crop good. Sugar cane, peas and potatoes are excellent. With average conditions we will make e5 per cent of cotton crop. Where it has not been too wet rain is needed. All uplands are drying up and cotton is opening prematurely.
 w. c. Jordan--There has been great deterioration in crops within the last three weeks. Conditions have changed so materially that cotton ought to be at least Is cents per pound. l have lately returned from a trip to Georgia. and found conditions there similar to those in this county. Time is too short and conditions too bad for re- action. The crop will certainly be short as compared with last year. Edwin. W. c. Dinwiddie-Do not think general crop conditions have ma terially changed since last report Cot ton may yet do well. Look for 80 per cent yield. Price should reach IA 1-2 cents.
 Butler, J. B. Stanley-Crop condi- tions in this county are not as good now as anticipated when last report was made. In some sections of the county too much rain is reported while in other sections not enough. All re- port splendid weed. but say the fruit is not there. There Is complaint of boil worms in best fields of cotton.

The past few days have marked a seterioration in the cotton crop in all sections of the State, according to re- ports which have been received by W. H. Seymour. President of the Alabama Division of the Southern Cotton Asso- siation.
 And because of this condition of the srop, nearly every correspondent ex- presses himself in emphatic terms as expecting better prices for the staple lhan have been realized in many years Some of the correspondents express he belief that cotton may go as high IS 20 cents, while others fix a figure Is low as 12 1-2 or 13 cents.

her to him, kissing her softly, fercely,
full upon the lips. For an instant she
lay gasping and stunned against his

with all her force struck him full in
