Affirming that he had always sac

for his son, Prince grille, to testify
to his noble sentiments. When the

This argument convinced the for

Possibly never before had the cotton
crop OF the state been so badly handl-
capped as the present one, with de-
clded reduction of acreage, partly
through an effort among planters to
unfavorable planting season. when for
seven weeks the lands in nearly all of
the cotton growing counties OF the state
we're flooded by rains, cutting down
acreage, and causing all fields planted
to become very foul; any bad stands
resulted from seed rotting, and an eff
fort to clean the crop when the rains
had ceased, this was followed by a sew
eral weeks drought with crop in poor
condition to withstand dry weather.
The fall rains which commenced early
in October, and have continled since
have done much to reduce the quality.
and has to a small degree cut the yield
though a late frost did much to help
all late and top cotton to mature, and
there has been more OF the top cotton
saved than usual. the rains have dam
aged and discolored much OF the crop,
and lowered the quality Of the seed
Picking has progressed well despite
the rains, and ginnlngs are keeping
fairly well up; there has been but
slight disposition on the part Of farm

has mostly been sold as fast as gInned;
the better grades have sold high, but
