A. f. Maxfeld, who ~deservedly
enjoys an excellent reputation as a
skilled mechanic and blacksmith has
invented a very simple attachment
for turning plows which promises TO
Weld him a neat sum, and save much
labor for the farmers. 1t consists OF
several sharpened blades about six
inches long which rest on the mold
board and are so arranged that they
cut into small peices the earth or turf
Of the furrow turned, thus preparing
the soil almost as well as a harrow. So
well satisfied are farmers who have
e the tool at work, That they are
calling for it daily and Mr.. Maxfield
finds himself rushed with orders which
he is scarcely able to supply. The
invention will be patented very shortly
as the application for a patent has
been favorably acted upon by the
authorities Of the patent Office at
Washington. When the patent i

L. L. Hunter Of Shreveport has just
bought the Adam Boudreanx place,
two miles southeast of Abbeville, on
the Vermilion river, to establish q
pumping plant for a big irrigating
canal to be built this year between
Gueydan and the VermiIlion river. It
is a big enterprise. The canal will be
200 feet wide. 90 miles long, and will
water los. eco acres of the best land
in the state, to put in rice. PreIilni-
nary work has already begun.-Iimes-
Democrat.
1t is a big project indeed, although
the amount that viii or a be irrl-
gated is undoubtedly overdrawn. An
estimate Of a thousand acres to the
mile is probably liberal, but il even
10000 acres is irrigated, the re-
salts will be far-reaching.-Jennings
Times.
There may be just a touch OF
s!boom'' news in the above item but
we believe the canal will be built all
right even though it wont be able to
water as much land as is claimed.
It is true that the promoters Of the
Hunter canal have only purchased an
option on a pumping site on Adam
Boudreaux's plantation and a right
of way 200 feet wide from the bayou
to the rear Of fhe tract, but that IS
all the land the canal company need.
The surveyors are on the ground and
several teams are here ready to begin
work grading. We are told the COM
pany will be capitalized at 5 100000
and most of it is already placed. Sc
we are sanguine Of the speedy compile

LIQUOR DEALERS.

The Virginia Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation closed its session in Richmond
yesterday, having elected Charles j.
Cannon, of Norfolk, president, and
having adopted strong resolutions in
defense of the business o liquor.selling
and containing claims that will likely
challenge the opposition of all temper
ance people.
They declare the manufacture and
sale of liquor as right and honorable as
any other industrial pursuit, and de-
mand that the legislature shall repeal
all laws which have tendency to low
er the moral standard OF the business,
thereby making it odious to selt-re-
speeding citizens to pursue such voca-
ton. They declare that: 1--WE yield
to no class of men in our devotion 10
true temperance and regard for sobrie-
ty and uprightness of life and deport-
ment. and our denunciation of drunk.
enness, vice and crime"
They point to the fact that the fore.
most and most liberal contributors to
charitable and religious funds are men
engaged in the liquor traffic, who thus
exemplify, by their acts, their moral
and charitable dispositions. They de.
clare the present local option law an
infringement on personal liberty, and
pledge themselves to hearty co.
operation with the national association
to secure a reduction of internal rev.
enue tax on spirits, as recommended By
Secretary Gage, from S1.1O a gallon TO
70 cents.
A legislative committee was elected,
with John Murphy, of Richmond, as
chairman. Lynchburg was chosen as
the next place of meeting of the league,

The TransyaaI Situation.

London, Sept. 23.-The members OF

requirements at South Africa. 1t viii
be we'll along 10 October before England
will be prepared TO use force in settling
the Transvaal question. If an answer
to these ultimate terms is not received
week after their proposal, British
army corps will be put in motion. Kru
GERS reply will probably be received ID
few days. 1t Is confidently believed
1t will be a curt refusal TO concede
Eneland'5 demands. a dispatch from
Pletermaritzburg, Natal, says it is ru-
mored there that Kruger is prepar-
ing to recede from his position but that
the report is not credited.
