SOME IMPROVEMENT.


| The following is a synopsis Of tbs
crop reports received from its cores
pondents and published last Monday
morning:
Excessive rainfall has caused much
grass in c,ttOn fields east Of the Mis-.
sissippi river. The weather OF last
week was fair and hot, however, and
much progress was made In cultivation
Anothor week Of bright warm weather
Is needed to put the crop in good shape
Worst reports are received from Mis-
sissippi, where, until last week, the
rains were very hoavy, washing the up
lands and flooding the lowlands. The
acreage In the state has been decreased
as result. .ss .ssf
West Of the Mississippi river the crop
Is In fair condition, reports from Okla
bona and Texas being excellent. The
rainfall west Of Arkansas and Louisiana
except along the coast Of Texas, has no,
been excessive. Parts OF Texas are do
heient in moisture, but the plant looks
well and is growing.
The plant generally lis smaller thar
last year bnt where not overrun with
grass or submerged. 10 healthy.
Showers In Texas and Oklahoma would
be beneficial, while fair weather Ia

In the southern third OF Georgia the
crop Is clean and In good condition
Elsewhere the rainfall proceeding last
week delayed cultivation 30 that some
crops are In the grass. The plant ia
small and healthy and the work OF cul-
tivation lis being pushed rapidly. The
recent warm weather was very ben
eficial. Another clear week is needed
LOUISIANA. ii,
The crop In this State was set back
and badly washed by heavy rains In
late May. The past weeks weather
was favorable, and improvement is now
noted. Many crops, however, are still
grassy. The boil weevil has appeared
in large numbers, and the work Of spray
ing with Paris green has begun.

TENNESSEE.
Too much rain for two weeks made
the fields grassy. The past week was
dry and hence much has been accom-
plishea in the way OF cultivation. Crops

Mississippi River.

In northern counties Of Mississippi
the crop has been rounded into fair con-
dition during the past week. In GEN.

poor condition and some acreage, gen.
orally estimated around s per cent, has
been abandoned because water stood on
the land and killed the cotton. Other
fields arc still grassy, and the plant 10

also has been done. The weather Of
the week has been favorable, but until
this week many fields were not touched
since the crop was planted in May.

There are very few complaints from
Texas. In some western northern conn

As Blaze Started.

Ashville, n. O., April 49, Reused from
their SAUNDERS after 2 o'clock yesterday
morning by an alarm Of fire, rs guests
OF the fashionable KeniIworth Inn, three
miles from this city, barely had time to
don some scanty articles of clothing and
make their escape from the burning
building, the total loss being estimated
at s250.00O. The insurance is placed at
$4,000.
All the guests were accounted for.
The fire had gained considerable head
way before it was discovered by two
negro boys, who were returning from
Biltmore. the Vanderbilt place, which is
but short distance from the inn. Mrs.
Al b Martin, the lessee, gave first
thought 10 the safety Of the guests when
she was awakened, and in a short time
the alarm had been given every room
in the doomed building.
There was a wild scramble for the
exits.
Scantily clad guests were taken in at
lht DdAAtIA 1dIh uolfl ana HtdIuY itrl-
denees and cared for during the remain
der Of the night.
The inn was owned by former Sena-
tor H. Gazzam Of Philadelphia. It was
built about IA years ago, at cost Of
$4,000, by company in which George
w. Vanderbilt was the heaviest stock
holder Senator Gazzam purchased it
six years ago.
Several firemen received painful
burns. Mr.. Gazzam jumped from the
third story while the firemen were
breaking open the door Of his room. In
the descent he barely escaped striking
against the stone arch at the front Of
the building. He received painful in
iuries and was removed to Biltmore
hospital.
Senator Gazzam is suffering ooncus-
sum on the spine, and physicians fear
there is a fracture at the base Of the
skull.
