SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Many Crops in the Blaokbelt Will Be
 Abandoned

Selma, June 27.-(Special.) .)-The continued and incessant rains all through the agri- cultural belt which have fallen during the past thirty days has played havoc with the crops and particularly is this true of the Canebrake. Captain R. H. McFadden of this city who has a large farm in Hale county returned from his place today and reports a desperate condition of affairs. He says that MT Jim Sledge who runs the we'll known Castleman place called all the hands together yesterday and told them to bring all the blows up to the house and turn the horses and mules into the pasture; that he had determined to abandon the crop and not try longer to make anything out of it.
 Captain McFadden further stated that the place of Captain J. c. Webb of De- mopolis was almost entirely under water and cotton and corn completely ruined He named several other well known planters who have abandoned their crops
 This means more than it appears on the surface. In the first place it may mean actual want and perhaps starvation to hundreds of negroes, then it may mean bankruptcy to the small planter and the merchant. Of course those named will not be so seriously affected for they are well to do and have other sources of revenue but the conditions of their crops are exam pies of what is being reported from all the lowlands of the Canebrake and there is serious apprehension felt.

CHURCH MUST PAY
The Revival Stopped Until Mortgage is
 Satisfied

Huntsville, June H.-(Special)-Th doors series of revival meetings that were to have begun next Monday will not be held unless Mrs. M. p. Hundley, mortgagee, treasurer and a prominent working member of the church, is paid the sum of S95O, which is due her on mortgage which she holds upon the building
 This crisis in the affairs of the chuPch was brought about by the real or financial neglect of the treasurer by a number of members, who have been arranging for re- vival meetings, and who specified that money raised to pay running expenses of the meetings should be handled by the board of deacons. Some of the leading members had called upon Elder T. F. smith of McMinnyille to hold the services, and 1t was hoped that he could be induced to become pastor To this end a subscrip- tion list was started, Colonel Hundley, Mrs. Hundley and few others declining to take part, believing that the debts of the church should be paid before expensive meetings are held.
 At the conclusion of the morning service Sunday last Colonel Hundley read a let ter to the congregation, stating that the no revival services will be held until Mrs. Hundley is paid. Regular Sunday services, 1t is said, will not be interfered with
 When the church was built thirteen years ago. Mrs. Hundley furnished the money, about $4500, and took a mortgage on the building. Payments on the mortgage ceased about six years ago, and Sy50 is yet due. Members of the church are arranging to hold the protracted meetings at the county courthouse.

Sans Souci. School for Girls.

Mrs. William Hayne Perry, formerly Miss Bankhead of Alabama, has sent out at tractne catalogues of the opening of Sans Souci, a school for girls Mrs. Perry is the president of the school which is situated near Greenville, S. c. Sans Souci was erect ed many years ago by the late eX-Governor B. F. Perry and his eldest son, ex-Con- gressman William Hayne Perry, its present owner. The situation is most ideal and the mansion is surrounded by flower gar dens and hedges and picturesque walks and drives in every direction. Indeed the invronments at Sans Souci alone give it decided advantage over the majority of Southern schools. Mrs. Perry has engaged corps of teachers whose names are well known In their special departments, and the faculty at Sans Souci will not be sur passed by that in any school for girls. The best advantages will be had in music, art, physical culture, elocution, the languages, while the course of study in the primary, preparatory and academic departments will maintain the highest standard. Mrs. Perry, while realizing the full value of text books, as well as the advantages to be derived by young women who are placed in a school where the social culture and refinement are of the highest order, proposes also to add cooking class, which will be unusu- ally attractive. There will also be classes in riding lessons, and similar accomplish ments, for Sans Souci is so perfectly equip
 ped as to admit of the young women who wish to keep traps or horses for pleasure drives after school work to accommodate them in the Sans Souci stables. There are tennis courts and golf links for outdoor ex- ercise. Mrs Perry's long experience in the social life of Washington, together with her own charming and brilliant personality makes her eminently fitted to be at the head of this school, and her friends all over the South have approved of the wis dom of her plans in establishing a home school for girls at Sans Souci.
