Austrians in great victory at Jem

On the heels of his triumph came
his downfall. AS a conservative, he
brought down upon himself the wrath
of the radicals who were now in the
saddle in France. He was deposed
from his command, but he refused to
obey.
His officers applauded him. But
he found 1t harder work to win over

In the cavalry, ching to him staunch-

volunteers rampantly Jacobinical. The
word traitor" and Judas" now pub
icly applied to Dumoriez everywhere
had its effect, especially when en-
phasized by the accusation that he
intended to hand over the Belgian
fortresses to the Austrians.
And now it became plain to him
that If he would oppose the conven-
ton he must cast in his lot with Aus
tria and the Allies. Most of his sup
porters shrank from this extreme step
or dropped away afterward, and those
who chung to him numbered only 45S
foot soldiers and 424 horsemen. With
these attendants he rode across the
frontier into the Austrian camp. All
his plans had failed. From this time
one he became an exile and wander

soUTH's FARM PRODUCTS.

From the Memphis News-Scmimitar.
The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec
ord states that the seven crops in the
south-corn, wheat, hay, tobacco oats,
Irish potatoes and rye-that are COM
mon to the county, had a value in 1908
of $7S9,613,561, an increase over 1909
Of 1852, 16S,519, and over 1907 of $685.
505,561.
Since 1900, we are further informed,
the corn crop of the south has more
than doubled and as the above figures
show this year reached the handsome
value of $547, O59,OOO. This showing in
dicates that southern farmers are
steadily making themselves independ-
ent of other sections in the matter of
food supplies. In a lesser degree the
same progress is shown in the en-
HANGED value of the potato and forage
crops, as well as in poultry and live
stock.
Commenting on the crop figures
above shown the Manufacturers Rec
ord says:
"The seven general crops here con-
sidered have an aggregate value this
year in excess probably of the value
of the cotton crop planted to at least
700,000,000. Adding to the value of
the cotton crop that of $17,771, 2S1 for
21,S89,620 bushels of rice, an increase
in bushels over 1907 of nearly 5000, 900
and that of $34,OOO.OOO for the pro.
ducts of the sugar cane, there is a
total for these three distinctly south
ern crops approaching the aggregate
for seven general crops The aggre-
gate for the 10 crops is $1,542,OOO 900.
Another $60O,OOO,OO0 or 100000 900
may be added as representing the ag-
gregate value of poultry and dairy pro-
ducts, live stock products, fruits and
the total value of agricultural pro
ducts of the south in 1908 may be safe
ly placed at $2,225,O O0."
