Baudersville, Ga., Oct. 22 91. f
Putman—Fanners are awaking to the
necessity of planting more wheat and
oals. 1 here is a larger area in peas this
year limn since the war, which will gc
a long ways towards supplementing the
corn crop.
Rockdale—Generally speaking th*
people are trying .harder this year t<
raise their own meat and bread than in
years. The excessive hot weather cut
off tho cotton crop,
Tallsd- The cotton crop of this county
is at least "0 nos cent, short if not more.
In sandy soil it is caused by rust and
scald from' the rains, followed by hot
weather. Late cotton promises much
better than early. Tho corn crop is
hardly up to an average but more will In
made as the area lias been largely in
creased.
Troup—Corn crop is the best for sev
eral years. Cotton crop not well fruited
having shod very badly.
Upson—The rains still continue cann
ing almost a complete loss of corn fod
der. The cotton prospect is unfavor
able, caused by wet and rust, though
late planting is still taking on some
fruit.
Walton—The late rains have injured
the crops to Some extent. The season
for fodder pulling lias been very unfav
orable. Upland corn good, lowland
drowned out.
Wilkes—Cotton lias been injured by
intense heat and a want of rain at the
most critical period of tho plant's devel
opment.
SOI "I'll WKSTUItN CIEOIIOIA.
Baker—It lias rained almost everyday
since tin 1 Siith of .Tune. Cotton weed ii-
large, sappy and lias but little fruit.
Wet weather has interfered with culti
vation and the crop is very grassy ; not
over 00 per cent, or last year's crop will
|>e gathered. Corn, peas, potatoes and
sugar cuno are good. Tobacco badly in
jured and experiment discouraged.
Berrien—Ton much rain for the past
sixty days for tobacco, cotton shedding.
Corn not damaged, rieo tine.
Brooks—This will bo tho shortest
short staple cotton crop ever gathered in
this comity, due in a great measure to
wet weather. Long cotton doing well,
lias not suilored from any cause, and
has not been attacked by boll worms.
We pick cotton between showers and
samples very poor.
Calhoun—Since the 1st of July r
much rain lias fallen that crops lmv
been greatly injured by tho grass ; num
bers of small farms will not make over
two bales of cotton to the plow. Plenty
ot corn will bo made. Sugar cane doing
well. Picking slow on account of rain
ami a few bales have been niarkoted.
Clay—Too much rain has been fatal
to the cotton crop. A great deal of corn
has lotted in the the field and it is not
well filled out. This year fair returns
have been received for melons.
< rawford—Tho rains have damaged
cotton on all lands, cannot possibly make
a full crop, opening rapidly on account
of rust. Peas nnd potatoes (ino ; some
foddor ruined by wet weather. Fruit
crop fine; what cotton has opened is
badly damaged.
Decatur—A month’s rain Ills injured
tlie saving and curing of this county's
largo crop of Cuban tobacco. Cotton
acreage less than last year and crop very
poor ; corn larger acreage and very good
crop. Homo stalks are rotting and tho
corn falling off. Rice, fine crop; tho
condition of cotton is due to tho rains.
Dooly—-Cotton on all low, or even lov-
el land, is very poor ; caused by exces
sive rain and its consequences, shedding,
lack of cultivation, black rot, or rust, as
it is called. Lands rolling enough to
shed off water have better crops, and
red lands better tlmn gray. The yield
of corn will be fine.
Early—We are having continued rains
from which cotton lias suffered very
much, producing rust. Corn crop fair.
Ground peas good.
Houston—Rust, grass and wot weath
er have greatly damaged the cotton crop
m ibis and adjoining counties. Corn is
made and is the best crop in years. Peas
potatoes and sugar cane are fino.
Lee—Too much rain for cotton. Grown
bolls rotting badly and tho young fruit
shedding. This cniintv Ai’ill tntxrsx.
of tho bolls by the heavy winds.
KANT OKOltOlA.
Bulloch—Too much rain. Cotton
shedding lmdly.
Burke—Cotton was injured in tho
effort to get out the gross after tho wet
season. The weed is large enough, but
it is very poorly fruited and seems about
done making. Farmers are very much
discouraged, as merchants will "not <k>-
'operate with them in tho efforts to diver
sify their crops.
Dodge—Too much rain caused cotton
to shed.
Emanuel—Fodder 1ms been gathered,
and cotton is opening rapidly. Pens are
fine and the prospect for a good forage
crop splendid. Stock of all kinds in
good condition. The horn-Hy has been
raging in some localities.
Glascock—A considerable portion of
the county was without rain for about
five weeks in July and August. ai«l iu
this part of the county not more than
half a crop will be nindo. Balance of
tlie county had plenty of rain, but was
injured HV the extreme hot weather
following it.
Jefferson—Tobacco is grown to a con
siderable extent in this county this year,
and is said to be as promising as any
raised in North Carolina. Darus have
been built, and wo have exports from
Virginia to superintend the curing. If
the drying and other process is as satis
factory as the present outlook tobacoo
will be extensively planted another sea
son. Cotton lias been injured by tlio
rust; it is opening very rapidly ana will
be harvested by tho 1 nth of October.
Tlte corn crop is very fine.
Johnson—The open cotton has been
damaged by the heavy rains. Corn lias
matured and is very good. The pea crop
has never been better. If cholera doe
not strike the hogs there will be mol'
meat killed this full than for a number
of years.
Laurens—The heavy rains through
July caused cotton to shod its forms, and
since then it lias had the rust and is ver
poor.
Montgomery-—The condition of cotton
hns fallen off very much since the last
report, some fields will not make a half
crop owing to rains and rust. Late corn
lias suffered for work. Nothing pays in
tins part of tlie .State like diversifying
crops, and the people are beginning to
find it out. Grass la beginning to attract
attention, tlie success of those who have
tried it has encouraged others.
Pulaski—Cotton umlly damaged by
rust and shedding, resulting from excess
ive rain. Pear and grounupens promise
a good crop.
Richmond—Cotton opening rapidly,
Rust in many places. Corn crop good,
A large quantity of peas sown. Too wot
this season for melons.
Seriveu—Farmers seem comparatively
well satisfied with the yield promised,
but very much dissatisfied with tho low
price to be obtained.
Tatnall—Cotton injured by too much
rain producing rust. Cane, potatoes, etc.
doing finely.
Twiggs—Cotton, unusual development
of r weed, without corresponding fruit
We have had too much rain and too lit
tie sunshine.
Washington—The latter part of July
was dry and the temperature too high
for cotton, causing tlie plant to shed its
fruit. Farmers discouraged over pros
pective prices. Handy laud cotton rust
ed badly.

shedding. This county will not pro
duco two-thirds of last year’s’crop, Some
corn damaged also. Fair crop of fodder
Peas good.
Macon—Owing to excessive rains the
cotton crop lias been injured by grass
and lack of work, and the outlook for
large yield is not satisfactory. Mor.
corn lias been uiudo than there hns been
in several years, as a larger acreage 1ms
been planted. Fino prospect for peas
and lat-o crops.
Marion—Wet weathor, rust nnd boll
worms have injured cotton. On account
of mill fanners have almost lost their
crops of fodder, and what was saved is
badly damaged. Corn will not be so
good as anticipated.
Miller—The podVcst cotton crop over
made in this county. Very dry in
spring, rain all summer, and with rain
every day now cotton rotting inthefield.
Quitman—This year lias been unusual
ly unfavorable for cotton. Cotton planted
from 1st to 15th of April, owing to dry
weather, did not come up until June.
Affer that time excessive rainslmve pro
duced growth of weed with but little
fruit. Sugar cane and all fall crops are
fino. Corn tho best for years. Very
little cotton picked on account of
weathor.
Randolph—Tho condition of cotton
1ms unproved sineo the last report, but
we arc now having heavy rains which
are doing serious damage to open cotton.
About one-fourth of tlie crop is open.
Stewart—This county will make an
abundance of breadstuff and stock feed.
Excessive rains have resulted in great in
jury to tho cotton crop.
Sumter—Tlie heaviest rains of tlie sea
son have fallen during the past week,
and cotton is being damaged by rotting,
etc. Closer examination gives corn
more shuck, and puts the crop about an
average. Late melons a total failure.
Sugar cane, rice und sweet potatoes doing
well.
Tavlor—Cotton was injured by wet
weather, followed by extreme heat.
Terrell—We have recently had entir
ly too lunch rain for cotton. On sandy
land it lms chopped all its leaves and is
perfectly bare, except a few bolls.
Thomas—Rain, ruin, rain; it comes in
torrents, destroying tobacco and cotton
and materially injuring corn in the field,
Webster—Farmers are very much dis
heartened at tlie low price or cotton and
the very poor crop. Wo are progressing
slowly with gathering, owing to the wet
weather.
Worth—This county will make but
little over a half crop of cotton, on ac
count of tlie injury resulting from the
rains. All crops have been injured to
some extent except rice.
Colquitt—A large per cent, of tlie cot
ton crop is open. Very little lms been
picked or can be, so continuous are tho
rains. Much of it lms been blown out
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.
Appling—Cotton lms suffered from tho
rust.
Camden—Heavy rains may effect har
vesting of rice crop, but no injury so
far,
Charlton—Drought in spring and wet
weather in July nnd August injured
cotton. Hay crop good.
Clinch—A fine corn crop made and
fodder well saved. Cotton lms suffered
from too much rain, which caused it to
shed mid ilio.
Coffee—Owing to tlie dry spring the
stand of cotton was Into and imporfoct,
and recent rains have caused it to drop

weather following drought. Other crops
good. Farmers paying more attention
to hay than usual. ^

Chicago, Sept. 22.—Great prepara-
rations have been made for tho hearing
of the contempt case against certain
railroad agents and officers of tlie Illi
nois Steol company before Judge Gre

while Judge John P. Hand, W. B. Dab

The story of the ascent of tho moun
tain from whose summit Plato, in his
sereno nnd thoughtful time, and Mr.
Gladstone, in our troublous days, have,
among many great men, in great wonder
Watched the sunrise, lms a strong fas
cination because of ils wide contrast,
its stern exaction of strength and en
durance nnd its supreme, awe inspiring
reword, the realization of tlmt wliicii
inspired tho ancients and tho poets of
the Middle Ages.
From tlie banana and Hie orange
groves, from tho vineyards and tho
palms, through the seven botanical re-
regions to the snowcapped crust that
spreads for ten square miles between
tho awful depth of unquenchable fire
and tlie blue heaven that suddenly seems
to bo brought near, tlie traveler mounts
with an over increasing sense of the
vastiiess beyond and around him.
When twelve miles of the ascent from
Catania lmvo been accomplished tho
summit looks ns far off as ever. When
Mr. Rodwell made tho ascent, in August,
1877, no lain lmd fallen in Sicily for
three months, and along the eastern sea
base of tho mountains tho mean temper
ature was 82 ih>gs. Falir. llis starting
point was Catania; his first halt at Nico-
losi, a lit.tlo town consisting of one long
street, bordered by ono storied cottages
of lava. Nioolosi lms more than onco
been shaken to the ground by earth
quakes. From thence begins tlio jour
ncy, on mnleback, by no delinito path,
over a vast tract covered with lava and
ashes, with here and there patches of
broom. Tlie mules know all about it,
and wiso travelers trust them as they
deserve.
Around tlio district of lava and ashes
lio forests of small trees, and ut a height
ot 4,210 feet is thoCasudel Bosco, where
men in charge of tlio woods livu and
whence tlie start for quito tho upper re
gions of tlie mountain—where cold sur
passing that of tho higher Alps lms to
bo encountered—is made. There, Mr.
Rodwell records, “tho air was so extra
ordinary still that tho fiamo of a candle
placed near tlie door did not flicker.”
At 0,900 foot the Regiono Desorta is en
tered. Lifelessncss is all around. Si
lence bloods over tho wasto of black
sand, ashes and lava; ants are the only
living creatures in tlio crater region. A
little lower down Spalfanzani found
jays, thrushes, ravens, kites and a few
partridges.
There was no moon on the night on
which Mr. Rodwell made tlio uscent,
but as tlie desolation deepened, and the
earth became more arid and more void
and muto, tho heavens "took up tb
wondrous tulo.” "The stars,” ho says
“shone with extraordinary brillkuic
and sparkled like particles of white In
steel. 1 have never before seen tlie
heavens studded with such myriads of
stars. Tlio milky way shone like a path
of fire, and meteors flashed across the
sky in such numbers that 1 soon gavi
up any attempt to count them. Tlio
vault of heaven scorned to bo much
nearer than when seen from tlie earth
and more fiat, as if only a short distune
above our bonds, and some of (he
brighter stars appeared to be hanging
down from tlio sky.”
A hundred years ago Brydone, bo
holding this same wondrous spectacle
of "awful majesty and splendor,” re
cords how ho mid his companion we
"more struck with veneration than 1
low;” liow they exclaimed together,
"What a glorious situation for an »b-
servutoiyl Hud Empedocles had th
of Gailleo, wlmt discoveries must ho not
have made!” anil how they rogrott
that Jupiter was not visible, ns lie wius
persuaded they might have discovered
some of liis satellites with tho naked
eye, or at least witli a small glass wh
he had in his pocket.
At 1:80 a. in., with tlio temperature
at 4 dogs. Falir., Mr. Rodwell reached
tlio welcomo shelter of tho Casa In
gleso, and rested there until 9 a. m.
when, tlio brighter stars having dis
appeared, lie started for tho summit ot
tho crater, 1,200 feet abovo him, in order
to witness wliat Brydone culls "the most
wonderful and.most sublime sight in mi
turo.” There was no strong wind; the
traveler did not suffer from the sick
ness of wliioh travelers constantly coin
plain in tlio rarefied air of tlio summit.
He reached tho highest point at 4:40,
and, cautiously choosing a coolish place
among tho cinders, sat down on tlie
ground, whence steam und sulphurous
acid gas were issuing, to wait for tlio sun
rise. “Above tho pluco whore tlio sun
would presently appear there was a
brilliant red, shading off in tlio dime
tion of tho zenith to orange and yellow,
this was succeeded by pale green, then
a long stretch of palo blue, darker blue,
dark gray, onding opposite the rising
sun with black. This effect was quite
distinct; it lasted some minutes and
was very remarkable. This was suc
ceeded by tho usual rayed appearance,
and at toil minutes to 5 tho upper rim
of tho sun was seen over tlie mountains
of Cnlabria.”
So simply does Mr. Rodwell record the
guerdon of liis toil, for, as he says truly
no one would have tlio hardihood to at
tempt to doscribe the impressions which
are made upon tho mind while the eyes
ure beholding the sunrise from tho sum
mit of Etna. How greatly the isolation
of tlio itwful mountain adds to the incom
municable effect Brydone implies when
he dwells upon “tlio immense elevation
from tho surfaco of tlie earth, drawn, as
it were, to a single point, without any
neighboring mountains for tlio senses
and imagination to rest upon and re
cover from tlioir astonishment, in their
way down to tlio world.” It must bo a
wonderful experience to turn from such
u contemplation to gazo into the vast,
precipitous ubyss of the great crater,
even when it is quiet, ns on this occa
sion.—Philadelphia Telegraph.

“Seeing is Believing.
And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is/
not good. Simple, Beautiful, Good—these'
words mean much, but to see “ The Rochester ” <
will impress the truth more forcibly. All metal
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,4
V.\s absolutely safe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
of ohl, it is indeed a “wonderful lamp,” for its mar-
yeloiis hght is purer and brighter than gas light, <—
solrer than electric light and more chetrful than either.
