Y0~K FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Elect Delegates to the Cotton Grow
ers' Convention.

Yorkville, Special.-The farmers Of
the county met here and organized
cotton growers association with MI
D. Mart Hall as president and Hon.
w. n. Elder secretary. Hon. J. C. Will
born, president Of the Safe associa-
tion, was present and stated the oD-
ject of the organization, which was
principally to effect the reduction Of
the cotton acreage Prominent and
practical farmers from all the town
ships made statements, saying that
the fertilizers that had been bought
this year was not for exclusive use N
planting cotton. They say that good
deal of it, and in many cases half Of
it, is being used on the small grain and
corn crops. Another statement that
was generally made is that labor IS
hard to get this year and this Will
have its effect in reducing the cotton
acreage. At any rate the acreage will
not be larger than it was last year,
and most probably it will be less.
There is great unanimity among the
farmers of York on this subject AMI
the enrolment today was large. The
meeting adjourned to meet again on
May l. when delegates will be elected
to go to the cotton growers conyen-
ton which meets at Atlanta on Au-
gust 81.

laugh on the side OF Johnny Crapaud.
In very truth, the French have taken q
leaf out OF the sick Mans" dlplo-

themselves over the outcome OF their
coup. In fine. Rear Admiral Caillard
sailed out Of Toulon on sealed orders

of great battleshlps and cruisers, car.
ryng an aggregate crew OF more than
1000 men, landing patrols, ETC.. with
the Le1ant as his destination. Wheth-
er he promptly reached that destination
or not was something aside from the
real purport OF the expedition, which
was merely to shake up" the sultan by
a naval demonstration under his very
nose, so TO speak. How beautifully the
scheme worked Is already known, and
the chagrin OF the sultan, when his en-
emies beat him at his own favorite
game OF bluff, must have been intense.
We need only to appeal to history to
learn the trend OF the sutan's miscalled
diplomacy when he wants TO save his
hide and his argent" at the same time.
His peculiar strength lies, as we all
know, in being able 10 play a seesaw
game with all the powers, holding them

Turkey, already pariah among the
powers, Is. OF course, expulsion from

fear but once that has been adminis-
tered then goodby Sultan Hamid H..
the arch mischief maker of Europe and
the prevaricatlng niscreant of Asia
Minor.
IT is needless to discuss the actuatlng
reasons for all the display of forbear-
ance by the great European powers to-
ward their crlnglng yet insolent Mo
hammedan neighbor on the banks Of
the Bosporus, for they have been mar
rated and discussed, 10, these many
years. Not only every nation In Eu-
rope, but one might well say every civ
ilzed nation in the world has had
grievance against Turkey. The griev-
ance of the United States was so recent
as to be universally known, but aside
from that, in common with every re-
spectacle nation in the world, II has
grievance of long standing against Tur-
key for merely continuing to exist.
But let that pass. The claim Of ABB
dul's admirers that he Is one of the
worlds greatest diplomatists merely
because he uses the arts Of mendacity
and procrastination with effect has
been exploded, and to Johnny Crapaud
belongs the credit of having punctured
that iridescent bubble and brought 1t
