Agricultural College Opentng.


At the opening Of the regular term of the
Agricultural College at Bookings one year
ago thirty Eight students were enrolled the
first day. This year 14S were enrolled the
first day, and owing to the blockade west
fully sixty others were detained from
arriving. Many of the older students have
not yet finished teaching in the country.
When they all arrive it is safe to believe
that there will be $50 students in actual at
tendance. The outlook is very encourag-
ing, and should the legislature make proper
appropriation the school will flourish.

The governor enaors d on the application as follows This young woman, Lottie Jemison, was con vioted of marLs,aughter and sentenced to live years in the penitenttary. She has served nearly half her sentence. It ap- pears that her character was excellent. Her husband for sometime previous to the killing, was openly and offensively associating with prostitute until on the night before the killing the defendant on returning to her house found the pros tituts in her own bed with her husband defendant then warned the woman nev CT to return, but on the next evening upon defendants return home she again found this woman in her husbands arms, and in an alterca ton defendant cut the wo- man fatally with a razor The deceas- ed woman was found dead with knife clenched in her hand. Had a man slain another under these circumstances it is doubtful whether he would ever have been put on trial I do not see why wo- men should not. at least in the admdnis tration of our criminal laws stand on an equality with men, For this reason and upon the petition of the judge and clerk Of the court, and of a great number of good citizens, I have determined to dis- charge the defendant. Let parole issue accordingly to Lottie Jemison. condition ed upon her conducting herself as A. peaceble. la.wabiding citizen" During the past week the governor bas uecIned to grant executive clemency to the following applicants:

With better understanding of the w transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper eff forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi. tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions ot families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. It's beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without facilitating the organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti. cle, which is manufactured by the Cali. fornia Fig Syrup Go. only and sold by all reputable druggists
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laXatives or other remedies arc then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most slillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

DR.. Maxwell has communication in
another column, in which he states
that the recent experiments on sugar
beets were not for the purpose of as
certaining the amount of sugar in the
beets. The experience of recent years
has proved that in warm countries like
Hawaii the amount is almost value
less. Sugar-beet tops, however, are
excellent feed for cattle, and the eX-
periments have shown the advisable
ity of paintings made, with that end
in view, by cattle owners. The succu-
lent tops have been known to prevent
fever in swine, so they are valuable,
not only for the amount of food which
they furnish, but for their medicinal
properties as well. The practical agr1-
culturalist nowadays has great faith
in the findings of experiment stations.
With their aid he can calculate to

Beets for Feed, Not Sugar.

MR. EDITOR:-Will you let me ex-
plain through your columns in reply
to inquiries, that my remarks in your
issue of yesterday upon corn, millet,
mangolds, beets, etc, were only to
speak of those crops as valuable for
feed. In reply to one inquiry concern
ing beets, I wish specially TO say that
that root, like the mangold, has only
value as feed with us. The beets grown
by us did not contain any sugar. In
fact, it is we'll known that sugar will
not form in beets grown in hot coun-
tries. In Louisiana beets grow we'll.
but they are of no use, except for feed
