least, the southern cotton states have shown
their capacity to produce food for their own
consumption, man and beast. The crop is safe
for it is made, and it is more than ample. The
fact marks an era in our material history. 1t is
the starting point Of agricultural Independence

living. When we reflect that the cotton crop
for the last several years has sold from two hun
dred and fifty to two hundred and seventy mil
lions per snnum and that out of that $50 600 =

lard was the landlord from whom Powell rented
portion OF house, and for which rent was TO
be paid in advance. JAS. P. Tustin, ESQ.,, ap-
peared for the defendant, and on two grounds
asked that the proceedings be dismissed. First.
Because the act OF Congress of July 4. 1874, re-
CURED that thirty days notice should be served
upon defendant, which in this case had not
been done. Second. Because no agreement,
written or oral. had been entered into that the
tenantcy should cease on notice of seven DAYS.
il was further argued that the allotment of the
premises by Holland had not been made TO the
defendant with expressed or implied consent Of
the owner, and was therefore void. Justice A.
;. Taylor decided that the proceedings cannot
be dismissed 81 plaintiffs cOst.
