(eneral conditions have been favor able and the prospects for the crop are good. 'T'here Is a good season in the ground, with plenty of moisture, and preparations for planting have been unusually satisfactory. 'T'he sea son varies from a week to two weeks late, owing chiefly to cold, wet weath er. Where cotton was planted early, as a rule, good stands have been ob tained and very little replanting has been necessary. There Is some com plaint of scarcity of seed and poor quality, but it is only Isolated. Only warm weather Is apparently now need ed to give the crop a satisfactory kirt. As usual, soie sections are planting llflre small grains at the expense of cotton, but its efl'eet is insignificant. A liberal use of fertilizers is indicated this year, the average increase for the helt being about 5 per cent.-News and Courier. * * * RABUN NEWS. * * * Rabun, May 4.---The corn and cot ton is comilng upl pre'tty' andl "general greetn" Is in abunldance, but nevet'the less we are nleedinlg a good rain.

The only purpose in this would be to fore stall the feeling on the part of anyone that their sessions at (lie seat of the goveinenit here might tend to a leaning toward the viewpoint of the I'nited States, the desire being to make their deliberation as detached and independent as possible. 'T'his has led to informal suggestion that ITa bana, or possibly some border point in Canada, be selected as a place of meeting. Hab ana will not be chosen, how ever, owing to the heat and the num her of Mexican refugees there, while Canada, being a British colony, might suggest iiuropean infl'Eees. It is nore t...,..herefore, that if some joint outside of the American capital is finally decided upon, it will be at some im1ounitain resort or in New Eng land at one of the points frequented by members of the diplomatic circles.
