STORM AT MARIANNE.
Heavy Damage Done To Crops in
That Vicinity.


That Vicinity.
Mariana, Fla. Sept. 16.-The worst
storm that this section has had in a
number of years commenced last Satur-
day night, and lasted about thirty-six
hours.
The week before had been hot and
dry, so a great deal of the cotton crop
had opened and the fields looked like
they were covered with snow.
To-day the cotton is all whipped out.
In some cases even the green bolls are
broken off, and the fields look bare.
The corn is all in the fields yet and
is blown down fiat. so a great deal
will be lost.
The crop of sugar cane is blown
over and will be much injured.
Trees and fences are blown down,
and it will take some time to repair
the damages.
The damage to the crops is hard to
estimate, but is great.

Let us consider that most of the
blood curdling outrages committed

our race. There is room to consider
whether or not we have made sufficient
effort to restrain that element that is
bringing such disgrace to the race

sure there is no sympathy in the
breast of any true man for the wretch
who has fallen so low as to commit an
outrage against any woman"
