THE SOUTH.
a Fine Outlook for One of the Largest
Cotton Crops in Years.

.
The Atlanta Constitution says: "The
prospects are very bright for the largest
cotton crop that has been raised in the his
tory of the South. A larger acreage has
j been planted than heretofore, and the
conditions have been exceedingly favor
able. Recent reports from all parts of the
South say that the farmers have for
saken other crops and are relying in some
localities almost entirely for the years
weld on cotton. In the Mississippi Valley
fhe' recent foods had tendency to IN
crease the fertility, Of the SOIL, and In
those places where the waters went down
soon enough to plant the crop the farm
ers will gather a third more to the acre.
~ TN Georgia the farmers nave not
needed the words of the emigration agent,
and the reports show more or the SOIL
OF this State to be covered with cotton
: than ever before. This year 1t Is SAID
q that they have only planted enough out
side of the cotton crop for home consump-
ton. They are now much encouraged by
the outlook Of the market and Will send
IN their. bales as soon as the crop ID
1 picked. None of the raw material Is now
on hand for the present consumption
and many of the mills in the South and
tho East have been compelled to shut
down for the lack OF the raw product.
Some of the mills in North Carolina have
3 recently been forced to apply to the East
ern markets for enough cotton to fill their
orders they have now on hand. .i,'og 10

Harvard makes the following statement
over his signature:
The grounds on which arguments are
based for the legal prohibition of inter-
collegiate football do not seem sufficient
in my mind to warrant favor. under
stand a bill has been passed bv the
Georgia legislature making tle playing
of football a crime simply on the
grounds that fatal accidents are likely to
occur in hard fought contests.
.sThe cause'of the bill was, belive,
the death of football player who was
injured in the game between the Georgia
university and the university of Vir-
ginia. But if we stop to CONSIDER other
sports we find that here are every year
serious accidents in baseball, boxing
and other gymnazium games. Rowing
and sailing are enjoyable pastimes, yet
one reads of many drownings every day.
Yet this does not seem to lessen the in
terest In rowing or sailing.
EVERY body cannot play football. 1t is
only the strong and well built men who
can expect to play the game with sue
cess. Therefore do not favor the gama
for every one. Itis of course valuable
exercise for those who, as say, are able
to play it. So 1 think football should not
be prohibited without just cause. I
have never heard of any state or city or
dinance prohibiting the playing of the
game before the bill in Georgia was
passed, and I repeat, the grounds on
which the passage of the bill was effected
are not sufficient to attract any favor
whatever

Hordes of Starving Survivors
From Relief.
New YoRK, Nov. PA dispatch to


the World frori Matanzas says:
The half of the story of suffering in
Cuba has not been told. In Havana and
it's suburbs the streets are dotted with
beggars, the hospitals are overfowing
with starving innocents and the spare
barracks are filed with the destitute
and dying. But from Havana to this
place there is a succession of small cities
almost free from sickness and hunger
Nobody is left there. The swarmIng
population is gone. They are cities of
the dead. Protecting forts overlook
empty houses. Pallid, ragged Spanish
soldiers guard a few-a very few-human
skeletons. Very soon they will have
only themselves to protect. They need
it. It is almost a question whether
Weylerism has not been as awful for
Cubans.
The towns of Campo Florida, San Mi
guel, Minas Jarucoa, Bainoa, Aguacate,
Mocha and Buena Vista were trebbled
and qusdrupled in population by Wey-
ler's concentration of the surrounding

respective sets of forts. The loyal, obe-
dient farmers took their furniture and
babies in OK carts, their cows and pigs,
women and children on foot and built
long streets of palm-pillared, raftered,
thatched and sided houses. Today
nothing remains but the wood. The
animals have been eaten, all articles of
value have been changed into bread,
and the people. everything having been
used up, are dead.
Our train stopped at each place men
toned. We counted only 25 women and
children and three men in the, palm.
house lanes. There are two trains day.
Their arrivals are the great event of
each miserable twenty-four hours, al d
we counted % spectators. There should
have beeen 5000. There were at least
$4,000 to 10000 reconcentrados in those
palm houses when Weyler's victims first
began to die, and we counted only %
survivors.
Even the senator from Spain can be
convinced of the determination of peo-
pie, in which he assisted when he sup
ported Spain in upholding WeYler. He
needs but to take train from Havana
to Matanzas, three hours ride through
beautiful but abandoned country. The
squallid, abandoned villages are proof
enough. Three hours OF silence and ru-
IN would chow him determination, even
though he never before had heard of
Cuba, nor claimed there had been no
war. The facts, the awful facts, the al
most unbelievable facts are everywhere.
They force themselves upon the sight ,
the smell, the reason.

evated and healthy; the water is good,
some organized charitable efforts have
been made by the citizens, and the city
government has filed in swamps and.
made boulevards to give work to the
destitute. The little hamlets mentioned
have had no such au1eliorations. Yet
in Matanzas, out of II. 900 countrymen,
women and children, there are today
not more than 900 left, and these are
barely alive. The streets are full of
tottering ones, the cafe doors frame
squads of begging women and children;
the public square has a living skeleton
for each, of It's beautiful shrubs and
trees; the dead carts go to the cem-
etery loaded with bodies three deep.
The civil registers of the city only hint
at the awful loss of life. 1t often does
not record the quiet burials of the field
to avoid the danger of waiting to secure
the permit necessary for a poor mans
body to be allowed its six feet on con-
secrated grownd. 1t shows 1894 deaths
of reconcentrados, or about one third of
the actual sad figure.
The present death rate of 40 starving
ones daily had it been constant since
the beginning of Weyler's sway. would
have wiped out the entire 0,000 before
now. The total daily death rate varies
from Go and 20. On November 9th, 123
died. Physicians claim the daily death
rate should be 80.
At this rate in a little more than a
year Matanzas will be graveyard, and
in less than three months there will be
no more concentrates. Although the
conditions may change for the citizens
of Matanzas, there is little hope for its
enforced visitors.
Blanco's relief measures, although hui
name, are wholly inadequate. II carried
out by the local authorities they come
too late. Soldiers rations, even with
jerked beef and corn meal added, will
kill more than they will cure. The
starved condition of the wretched bipeds
here is such that expert medical testi-
mony dooms one half of the 5000 con-
,centrados left to death, and ii the rations
issued are the same as the Spanish SOL
diers here now barely exist on, the same
testimony declares that at least 1000
will die. The starving people are not
even likely to get that much.
One of the highest officials who would
be intrusted with the issuing of rations
has said within three days:
1--WE are not going to pay any atten-
tion to Blanco's orders.'
The money raised for feeding the
starving has been mostly stolen. The
change of officials has let This ont through
the intense hatred of the Spanish re-
formists for the Spanish conservatives.
An income tax of three per cent was
levied for the care of the hungry, and
collected. The present officers charge
the former officials with putting most Of
it into their pockets.
