CLINTON, Miss, Sept. 10, 1914.


You may rely upon the following brief statement
as correct:-


In the great upland counties Of Kinds, Madison,
Yazoo, and Holmes, tie drought mas been exces.
sve and destructive, and must curtail the annual
average at least third. The crop those coun-
ties matured prematurely. We commenced pick
ing full month sooner than usual, and will,
think finish gathering generally by the first a De-
cember-conseq quently the artice will be better
than Tor years past, as 10 quality and strength OF
staple. The crop of the enllre Mississippi Bo tom
has been cnt oil fully two.lnlrds by The overflow.
The remainder of the crop oi the State, about an
average per annum production, including The
northern and eastern portions. The Mississippi
Bottom lands OF Louisiana and Arkahsas have
suffered equally with ursfrom The overflow. Frsm
the best information can obtain, the crop Of Ala
bama is not equal TO that OF last year. AUD my
opinion that the present OF The United States
cannot exceed II II reach, 2, ,OO0, 900 Our consoa-
non tor short crop is te certainly et giving Col.
Polk majority OF 3 600 IN this state, over anti
Annexation, National Bank Clay.
