dition, with the exception of thousands
OF lussy young tea plants that had ger
minated from the seeds the wind had
blown from the old plants in every
direction.
He bought the place, olesred off the
rubbish and the weeds and commenced
an analytical study of the character and
habits OF the plant. He imported also
various kinds of Oriental seeds from
Japan, China, Ceylon, Formosa and
other places until he had twenty acres
of various varieties of the tea plant,
with which he Is experimenting to as
certain those most suitable for the eli.
mate and the method of their culsiva-
ton. During 1894. he produced 500
pounds OF excellent black tea, which
sold for $3.50 pound in Summerville
and Charleston, and about 5000 pounds
of green tea. which sold for 81. so a
pound. During 1895, If conditions are
favorable, he expects to reach conclu-
sions as to climate, cultivation, fertilIz.

ofpractical value to the farmers of the

Pope Leo at Eighty-Five.

Pope Leo XIII has authorized
his physician, DR.. Lappont, to
communicate to the medical fac
ulty such information about him
self as may be of interest to them.
DR.. Lappont says that the pope's
health at the present time is per-
feet, as it has been for nearly the
whole of his long life. His eye
sight is so good that he can read
without glasses. He looks fragile,
but is stronger than might be i'm
agined. He needs but little sleep,
not more than three or four hours
night. His mind and memory
are in the best condition. He is
an indefatigable worker, attend
ing to the details of his world
wide duties every day of the year.
What DR.. Lappont says about
the pope's habits of living is very
interesting. He is exceedingly alb
stemious in his diet-for break
fast, cup of coffee with bread
for dinner, soup, a modicum of
meat and a vegetable, with a small
glassful of Bordeaux wine; fol
supper, soup with bread and the
same quantity of wine. For a man
IS years old, or indeed, for an in.
tellectual man at any time of life
there could not be a better dieta-
Try. 1t is pleasant to the taste; il
is wholesome; it is satisfactory; il
is good for the mind. His exam.
pie, in this respect, is we'll worth
copying by Catholics, Professionals
Jews, agonostics, atheists and pa.
gans.-N. Y. Sun.

In view of the fact that the
amount of bounty voted by the
last Congress will not be sufficient
to pay what is due the sugar plan
ters, Secretary Carlisle has deci-
ded to prorate the appropriations
among them, so that all will be
treated fairly and the losses even
ly distributed. This arrangement,
it seems. is satisfactory to the
planters, and they will, if the con-
struction of the law permits, en-
deavor to have the Treasury pay
the bounty before the beginning
of the next fiscal year.-States.

Gently erected by the Sisters of

ture in the town and reflects much
credit upon the builder, Mr.. A. V.
Fleming as a skillful workman.
When the good sisters established
a convent in st. Martinville about
Is years ago, their home was then
a very modest one, but the people
of the town were not loath to ap-
preciate the worth of this splendid
institution, and extended to il
every encouragement. The con-
sequence was that the convent
went on improving year by year
and to-day it enjoys the merited
reputation of being one of the
foremost temples of learning in
the State-Lafsyette Gazette.

commended the pardon of Thomas
j. Ford, convicted for the murder
of Cap. Murphy in New Orleans
in 1894. Ford was sentenced in
1885 to 20 years in the penitenti-
airy. Ford has served 10 years,
and on account of his good con-
duct during his 10 years imprison-
ment, his time would be reduced
Z years, which would make him
a free man in 3 years from now.
His devoted wife during these
ten long years has worked inces-
sanity, securing signatures to pc
titions and other documents which
she last year submitted to the
board of pardon for consideration.

SATURDAY MARCH 16, 1898.
MUNICIPAL ELECTION.


next there will be an election here
to elect five trustees to manage
the affairs of the town for the
coming year.
The affairs of this town for the
last three years have been managed
by business men whose only idea
was business and improvement.
The improvements that were made
in our town during that short per-
iod with the limited means at
their command, are numerous and
valuable, and we believe that very
few of our citizens, even the chro-
mic GROWERS, had any reason to
complain.
The finances of the town have
been carefully guarded, all its
business being done on a cash ba-
sis; with always large cash ba-
lance in the treasury. Besides
the affairs of the town the trus-
tees have made several payments
on the steam engine which could
not be met by the Fire Company,
and as was seen in last weeks pro-
ceedings of a special meeting over
six hundred dollars were paid, for
the equipment of the fire depart
ment.
The police from the beginning
up to the present time has been
first class in every particular; it
has protected our town against
lawlessness and disorder, protec-
ted our people in their rights and
property, and made it agreeable
for ladies to promenade our
streets without danger of meeting
trouble and disorder as in the
past. For this good work, we
congratulate chief Beslin and his
assistant.
We do not believe it right that
our people should insist upon re.
tanning the present board of al
dermen. The proper management
of the towns affairs requires q
good deal of their time, and as
some of them have given three
years, we believe it is right that
they be relieved of the task, and
that some other of our business
men take their places. But We
will insist on business men, as the
towns affair should be handled by
business men, not by politicians.
We trust that five of our staunch
and substantial business men vii
consent to become candidates, an(
impose upon them the task O
doing good to their own town ant
people.

l awlessness in New Orleans.

LawleSSneSS IN New orleans.
New Orleans was again the
scene Of riot and bloodshed last
Monday. The trouble that oc-
cured on the levee several months
ago between the white and negro
screwmen was again repeated
Monday. The white screwmen
opened fire on the negro laborers,
wounding several, and throw their
tools in the river.
This last trouble was brought
on because the white screwmen OF
New Orleans refused to load the
ships for less than certain price
which the ship agents refused to
pay. The agents then imported
negro screwmen from Galveston
to do the work; this angered the
home white screwmen who resen-
ted the negro opposition by re-
sorting to mob violence and riot.
The blame and responsibility
for the riots and troubles is laid
at the door of Mayor Fitzpatrick
who has always sympathized with
the disturbing elements, and who
always refused police protection
when it was to suppress lawless.
ness created by the members OF
his own gang. As long as this
man Fitzpatrick will be at the
head of the city administration
New Orleans will be the theatre
of disgraceful scenes, riots and
bloonshed. Fitzpatrick is a low.
class politician, and is strength
is with the disturbing and hood.
lum element of the city, and he
and his power will always be with
them, regardless of the good name
of New Orleans or the State Of
Louisiana.
Tuesday two riots occurred on
the .levee front early in the morn
ling. The rioters were the white
screw and longshoremen, who
armed with revolvers, rifles and
shotguns made a charge on the
poor unarmed and unprotected
negroes who were about t.
go to work loading the ships. Five
negroes were killed and a dozer
wounded, the others succeeded il
making their escapes by jumping
in the river and hiding under th'
wharf and between the large mum
Der of cotton bales piled on th'
wharf.
During the firing which lastet
several minutes the widest excite
ment and terror prevailed, and tn
confusion was so great that two o
the rioters were wounded by thei
own friends. The police was sool
on the scene of the riots but il
too small numbers to cope will
the large mob which is estimated
at between 200 to 1000 men.
Among the wounded is the Pur
ser of the steamship Engineer
who is q British subject.
