Mr. Dee?, the veteran authority on cotton crops, was in Anderson Satur? day afternoon. After taking a look at the crops in this section, he departed for North Carolina, and from thence he will proceed to New York, having completed his Inspection trip. Mr. Deet Is a very ordlnarylo oklng fellow, and no one would suspect that In hla head covered with shaggy, ill kept hair, that an inestimable amount of Information Is stored. Not until be is addressed does he display any knowledge. He dresses as a farm laborer in the midst of threshing time; his blue jean shirt and his Jean trousers more or less suggestive of a man Just from the field. Mr. Deet says that hla Northern em? ployers pay him $5,000 to visit the States in the belt every year to make an estimate. He says he has been at this work for several years, and that he travels more than 25,000 miles each year. He does most of his traveling on the trains, but he spends considerable of his time in the cot? ton fields. When asked aa to his opinion of the cotton crop Mr. Deet was non? committal. He admitted that the crop In South Carolina Is far below the average, and predicts a very small harvest. He said that the crop In the vicinity of Sumter is better than anywhere else In the State. As far as letting out any Informa? tion concerning the crops In other States Mr. Deet would say nothing. He intimated, however, that the estimates now being made are. In his opinion, too high. He expects a small crop yield. Mr. Deet say * he has visited Ander* son county often on his Inspection tours. On account of his general make-up he never attracts any atten? tion, and he always foregoes the pleas? ure of making known his business. It was only after adroit questioning would he talk Just a little while In this city.?^nderson Mall. A GOOD STOMACH.
