Americans should take warning from
the sad, sad history of France. In her
frenzy for what was misnamed liberty, the
Bible was burned, religion banished, the
sanctuaries defled, death, by legal enact,
ment, declared an eternal sleep, the King
beheaded, rightful forms of government
and social relations destroyed, the mar

eDthroned as the goddess of worship then
ensued the indescribably bloody "Reign of
Terror" that even to this day, sickens the
human heart when considered. Nor were
the fearful tragedies OF the late Commune
of a different origin. Nor can we refrain
from limiting that the animus OF the society

The Cotton Crop.

The following is a brief synopsis of a
statement of area and condition of the pres
ent cotton crop, which will appear in the June
report OF the department of agriculture. An
increase in cotton area is reported in every
State, and a very small proportions of county
returns show de- crease in acreage. Plant
ing was generally retarded by the protracted
season of drouth, and fields that were planted
late occasioned some trouble in obtaining
perfect stands, but recent rains and renewed
efforts in replanting, have finally secured
stands Of average completeness. The per-
| centage of increase in the area, last years
crop being the basis of comparison, is as fol-
lows: North Carolina, l6; South Carolina
8; Georgia, -; Florida, 10; Alabama, Il;
Mississippi, TO- Louisiana, IL; Texas, Is;
Arkansas, 10; Tennessee, II. The, average
increase throughout the cotton States will
approximate IL per cent. Texas has natu-
rally made the largest increase, not only hay
ing enjoyed favorable season for planting,
but also during the last year received Access
sions of immigrants who are cotton planters.
The conditions of the plant throughout the
cotton section is very nearly full average.
Separating the Atlantic from the more west
ern States the former stand little below an
average. while the latter are fully up to the
standard of fair condition. The drought
which prevailed in April and the irst half of
May delayed the growth, and the cold nights
in the more northern belt had a further re-
tardlng effect, but abundant rains and the
genial temperature which followed have won
dertully invigOratel and advanced the crops
The following figures represent the condition
of cotton in the several States 100 standing
for an average: North Carolina, sc; South
Carolina, 90; Georgia, 95; Florida, %; Ala
bama, 100; Mississippi, 100; Louisiana, 1O4;
Texas, 100; Arkansas, SO; Tennessee, I0l.
