In Bullock County.

Union Springs, August 1.-(Special)- Farmers in Bullock county are greatly encouraged over the improved prospects of crops. Two rains have fallen the past week and rain Is needed in some parts of the county badly. While the cotton plant is looking well and growing 1t is developing very few squares and these near the top of the plant.
 The prospect for a good corn crop is good, and the yield of corn will be more in Bullock this year than for many years past, due to the fact that so much of the cotton land had to be abandoned and was later planted In corn The hay crop is fine and so is the peas. large crop of potatoes will be raised. Many are planting Lookout Mountain potatoes as an experiment. It Is conceded fact that with favorable conditions from now on only half crop can be realized in Bullock Many watermeions are In the market, but because of so much rain they are not good. Rain has also injured the large crop of figs.

Against Fee System.

With safe provisions Speaker Car michael is in favor of submitting the constitutional provision to cut out fees in such counties as find them great evil In the main he thinks the fee sys- tenn iniquitous, but as there are many small counties that could not afford to pay salaries, he would insist that the law be so arranged as to allow any county to take its choice in the matter of fees, if it were not able to pay salaries. As all the objections are met in the Glover bill, Speaker Carmichael Is put down for the anti-fee bill amendment.
