The state of Tennessee was an especially heavy sufferer. Careful estimates indicate that at least fifty people were killed in the Volunteer state alone, while the loss in dollars and cents will not fall short of a million. At Fayetteville, Franklin and Hillsboro there was a loss of life. The latter town is said to be practically destroyed, while at Centerville and adjoining villages the damage is reported very heavy in both lives and property. Near Pulaski, in Giles County, the death list reached twelve, and many were injured. At Cuba many houses were blown down, and at Gilestown not even a shed was left standing. No fatalities were reported from either place, but information is very meager. At Horn Lake, Miss., half a dozen lives were lost, and the property damage was very heavy. From neighboring towns come tales of men, women and children killed and homes wrecked. The tornado swept over into Arkansas and killed eight persons near Monmouth Springs, besides wrecking a score of buildings. Other points in Arkansas report heavy loss.

How many thousands have been, massacred cannot even be estimated, because disturbances have been so widespread that it is impossible to secure details of the happenings during the past ten days. The latest estimates of the number killed in the villayet of Adana reaches approximately 25,000, and thousands have been done to death in the towns and other districts. The state of siege, which several places are undergoing, has brought their inhabitants to the verge of starvation, and each day brings its tales of further atrocities and the depths of misery and despair to which the savagery of the fanatics has brought the people. Several warships are now in these waters, but the disorders are so far-reaching that the efforts of the powers to restore normal conditions have as yet hardly been felt.

Well, that problem is a big one, and it covers so wide a space and is modified by so many different conditions that it is by no means the same problem everywhere. For instance, one of our correspondents writes: Last summer, in Virginia, and then a week in the country, some twelve miles from the village. The problem was amazingly different in the two localities. The Negroes near the village were, upon the whole, as worthless, idle, thievish, lying vagabonds as ever worried the decent people of any community that I have ever known; those in the country, only twelve miles away, were about the best Negroes in the South, so far as my knowledge extends.” This observation is true, and has been so ever since the first ship-load of our people were landed in this country. The worthless white elements infest every locality and what to do with them is the question. The dissatisfaction that exists among us relative to treatment is that the average white man will discriminate between the bad and the good of his own people, but insists upon putting us together and gauging our standard of fitness by the class of worthless people to whom our contemporary refers. The better class of our people are as much opposed to this draw-back in our communities as are the better class of the white people. The religious, moral, straightforward elements of our people are in line with the upper, right-thinking element of the white. We insist that we shall be recognized and our best elements taken as the standard rather than the worst.
