COTTON VIZ. CORN.

Tho smaller crop OF cotton of 1865 6,
than the larger one of 1864, owing to
the drought, brought more money by
S30, 100000. This was an object lesson,
possibly OF Providential intent, to
teach the cotton planter Il statutory les
son. That it is the minimum crop
which brings the maximum price, and
the only way the farmers can get out
OF the rut OF poverty and distress.
Onc-half tho land now devoted to
cotton would, If converted to grain,
meat and food supplies, generally,
soon make the farmer indcpcnd-
ent OF the lien which takes nearly all
he realizes from his cotton crop.
OF the thirty places throughout the
world that tried to break down Amcri
can cotton culture during the war,
they have all signally failed. There
is not zone or belt in the world that
can produce a cotton equal to our
American strict middling. Rcmcm-
Der that there is but one cotton belt of
great value and that is between the
Gulf OF Mexico and the Blue Ridge
Mountains.
1t Is our Southern inheritance Of
priceless value. The only cotton belt
which produces the longitudinal fibre
which the mills Of the world must have
to mix with tk, shorter cottons OF other
zones-India, Egypt, etc.

fear that competition from any source,
because OF our smaller cotton area, can
ever drive us from the cotton suprc-
macy OF the world.
Cotton is King and dwells in Ameri-
ca, and it is time that they who culti-
vate it should be enriched by it, and
not be mere vassals in his realm.

"A NEW DELUGE IN THE WEST"
IIous' Il, Fences and Crops In Indian Terri
tory Washed Away
Augusta Chronicle. |

Dallas, Texas, April PA special to
the News from t,ufaula, Indian Terri
tory, says: a series Of cloudbursts,
heavy wind and rain storms occurred
in and around F,ufaula last night and
extended over about 100 square miles of
territory. The rain, which fell in tor
rents, was the heaviest for fifty years.
Farm houses, fences and crops were
washed away.
The North Canadian railroad bridge
is SO badly damaged that no trains can
cross it, and it cannot be repaired for
81 hours. The southbound passenger
train had scarcely passed it at 9:45 last
night when the south end gave way.
Many trains arc tied up at this point,
and there is a series Of wash-outs for
twenty miles that are impossible. The
damage to crops is beyond estimate.
Nearly every acre Of ground for many
miles in all directions will have to be
rcplantcd. Many farms are under wa
ter. Several covered wagons noated
down the South Canadian rivcr this
morning accompanied by small houses
and household furniture. All ferry
boats are washed away and communica-
tion cut Off. So far no news Of loss of
life has been received. A cyclone
passed about five miles south of Eufau-
la, destroying houses and killing cat
tie, but full loss cannot be ascertaincd
at this hour. The rivers are now fall

tho case of Frank. Myers, tho negro
who was under sentence to pay the
death penalty for incendiarism in
Georgetown tomorrow. Solicitor Will
son, who has been working in Myers
behalf, and the ownor of the burned
property, along with several others,
who wished to see the negro hanged,
made statements before the Governor.
At the hearing it was developed that
the chief confession which the negro
is said to have made was wrung from
him while his captors had rope
around his neck to intimidate him.
When Governor Iillerbe announced
some time ago that he would not inter-
fcrc nothing was known of this. He is

"THE CROSS STANDS by THE CBES-
CENT"

The following editorial in the Char
lesion News and Courier so clearly,
terseley and happily expresses our own
thoughts on the Graeco-Turkish situa-
tion that we introduce it with much
pleasure into our editorial column:
"Tt is u remarkable thing that at the
close OF the century all the Christian
Powers of Europe are arraycd against
the Christian Kingdom of Greece in its
desperate struggle against Turkey.
All Islam is to be called to arms to sub
duo the Greeks, and TIC Christians are
supporting the hOrdes of Mahomet.
The Christian Powers which permitted
the massacre of tens of thousands of
Armenian Christians without even so
much as protest, stand ready now to
permit, indeed to aid and nbct, the
Turks in their warfare against the
Greeks. When the Christians in Crete
revolted against tho atrocities OF
Turkish rule, it was the guns of Chris
tian war ships, led by the British Cam
perdown, that carried death and de-
struction to the insurgents. And these
same Christian war ships lie close at
hand to overawc the Greeks in their
unequal but glorious struggle, and to
aid the Turks if need be. There has
OcCH Ill viz
history Of so-called Christian civilian
tiOn.
"rhe Greeks are making magniii
cent fight. The sympathy of the Chri~-
tian world, outside Of diplomatic cir
cles, is with them, Jut the heavy guns
are on the side of Turkey. What the
Greeks should have besides sympathy
is money and men. Both should be
given freely By the Christian world.
What the outcome of the struggle
would be, but for the Christian Powers,
it is hard to say. The conditions are
favorable for revolts in many of the
Turkish provinces. Scrvia is begin
ming to show its teeth, Bulgaria and
and Roumania will have to be rcckoncd
with if the contest is not speedily
ended, and the Car Of all tho Russians
may yet find that it would serve his
purposes of conquest best if he should
extend helping hand to Greece. The
breaking up of the European "conccrt"
would probably result iii IL general war,
bnt the "concert" against the Greeks
should in the interest Of humanity and
right be destroyed.
"If all Islam is to be called to arms to
save the Turk, all Christendom should
join in Il protest that will be heard and
needed by the Christian Powers"

AN APPEAL TO CHRISTIAN WOMEN

The women of Greece, maidcns and
matroDs alike, have made touching
and thrilling appeal TO their sisters
around the world for their active sym
pathy-their tears and their prayers TO
heaven in their behalf in this dark and
dreadful hour OF most gricvous Attic
tion. The CretaDs have many times
sought TO escape the iron heel of the
Turkish oppressor, and always found
refuge and an asylum in Greece. 1t is
very keynote OF agony with them
now-almost of despair, and yet the
Grecian women appeal with dignity
and heroism In their own and their
sisters behalf.
