SATURDAY, Sept. l6. 1899.
COTTON DYING.

The report from almost every
section of the parish, is that con-
siderable amount of cotton died,
which will reduce the production
OF the staple considerably under
the first estimates.
The farmers disagree as to the
cause, some believe it due to some
disease of the plant, while others
think it is due to the prolonged
drouth, and afterward, the occa-
sional showers, which scalded' the
plant.
Mr.. A. A. Morrow brought us
some of the dead stalks, which are
quite loaded with bolls which are
only about half their usual size.
Mr.. Morrow is an intelligent plan
ter, a man who takes a great deal
of interest in the cultivation of all
crops, says he cannot account for
it, but he says the cotton crop in
the parish will be much shorter
than was at first figured on.
Mr.. l.. G. Gauthier, who is also
one of our progressive planters,
has been reading about the dis
ease of cotton, which he says is
produced by a small white worm
which penetrate the heart of the
stalk by the root.
What looks to be strange, is that
in some places there are three or
four acres of cotton which turn
red and than die, and dry up; in
other places, a few stalks here and
there die in patches of perfectly
healthy cotton, which gives it the
appearance of disease more than
the effect of scalding.

TOWARDS RUTH"
The police jury has found the only ra-
tional way to make good roads. The
system adopted, like all good things,
may be little costly at first, but in the
long run 1t pays to get the best. The
roads, east and west and up and down
the Teche, from Ruth, are in excellent
condition. The owners of Ruth will
soon complete their bridge across the
Teche, which together with the fine road
lately opened by them, will open a wide
field for Ruth. and grand opportunity

whom the Pellerins, Thibodeaux, etc.,

committee of farmers was appoin.
ted for the purpose of taking some
measure for the organization of q
Farmers Association, which was
intend to bring the farmers toge-
Their once a month to discuss mat
tiers of interest to them.
There is no doubt that the far
mers are more interested in the
cultivation today than ever before.

the raising of stock and poultry,
the farmer is realizing the neces-
sity of intelligent farming, and are
ready and willing to listen and
profit by the experience of others.
AT different times, during the
year, we received here a quantity
of specimens coming from the
farms of this parish, which shows
. great improvement in the pro-
duction of these farms.
The past week Mr.. Cab. Garde-

PETER GRAHAM FEELS HAPPY
Will Probably Plead Self-Defence
for Shooting Stahlman.

Bridgeport. Conn. June 6.-Peter Gra-
ham. the boy who says he killed Louis
stahlman, peddler is in a happy mood.
His lawyers have instructed him to say no
more about the crime. but the injunction
is an irksome one. The plea, 1t is thought,
will be self-defence.
The boy was taken to Coroner Doten's
office yesterday afternoon. where the in
quest was in progress. When asked to
make a statement, he said: My lawyer
told me not to say anything Detective
Arnold testified that the boy had told him
that he found Stahlman in the house.
thought he was stealing, and shot him.
The coroner's finding was that Stahlman
met his death from a pistol ball fired by
Peter Graham.
In his cell last night, Graham laughed
and jested with callers, and sang for his
own amusement.
The boys parents are almost prostrated
over his crime His mother. after her
first visit to the police thanked them for
being kind to Peter. and declared as she
went away that they would never see her
again, but she has returned every day.
Last night she brought the boy several
bottles of soda. The family has alwas been
a law w-abiding one. The boys have run
wild. but Peter is the only one that has
shown criminal tendencies. DR.. Downs
said after an examination that he was
wholly devoid of moral responsibility. but
very intelligent.
Peter has threatened to shoot a man who
in an account of the murder referred to
him as dime novel fend.

PUBLIC PRINTERY
employees WORRIED
Fear That They Will Not Get
the Usual Vacation.
Question for the Decision Of Comp.
trOller Tracewell.
Construction of the Law Referring
to the Attaches of Executive
Departments.

The employees of the Government Print
ing Office are much alarmed over the re-
port that they will not get this year thirty
days leave of absence exclusive of Sun
days and holiday. Congress before ad-
journment provided In the Legislative Ap-
preparation bill that all employees in the
Executive Departments should be granted
thirty days leave of absence exclusive OF
Sundays and holidays. The provision was
made to meet objections raised by the
Comptroller of the Treasury. who decided
that Government employees were not enti-
tied to receive pay for Sundays when TAX
ing their annual leave.
The Government Printing Office in the
strict construction of the word is not an
executive department, but in some in
stances has been treated as such by Treas
ury officials. Public Printer Palmer Of
course desires that his employees shall re-
ceive every consideration granted other
employees of the Government. The ques-
tion. however, must be referred to Comp
troller Tracewell.
when Congress last winter voted to
give Government employees thirty days
leave of absence exclusive OF Sundays and
holidays" said Representative Smith of
Illinois this morning. ''of course IL meant
to include the faithful and hardworking
men and women of the Government Print
ing Office. When the subject was under
consideration at the time II was understood
that the Printing Once employees were to
receive the benefit Of the act. And in my
Judgment IL the law is not clear enough II
will certainly be amended so as to include
without question the Printing Office.

THE TAYLoR-BRoWN TRIAL.
Tactics to Delay Justice Not to BE
Tolerated.


Tolerated.
Rockville Nd, June 6.-At the opening
of the June term of court in Rockville yes
terday Chief Justice McSherry said. in ref
erence to the trial OF Taylor and Brown
for the murder Of Louis and Rora Rosen-
stein. at Slidell:
We have concluded that the ends Of
justice require that a special term of court
be convened under the provisions of sec
tion 81. article 4. of the constitution Of
Maryland. that the parties recently in
dicted by the grand jury of this county
CTaylor and Brown may be placed on trial.
1t has been intimated that these cases will
be removed. Should the accused apply for
a removal to some other court the cases
will be sent to the circuit court for trial,
and the jury of that county will be con-
vened at once and the prisoners will be
placed upon trial there without delay.
There is not the slightest reason for a re-
moval Of these cases. The accused can and
would have as fair and impartial a trial
Montgomery county as anywhere in or out
of the State II they are guilty, the ends
of public justice require that they be
speedily tried, and if convicted speedily
punished II they are innocent they are
no less entitled to an early trial and vindi-
cation Tactics Tor delay. II resorted to-
will not be tolerated; they serve no use
full purpose. and often tend to bring re-
proach upon the administration OF the law
1t may as well be understood now that a
removal of these cases will secure no de-
lay in their trial"
Senator W. v. Bouic and G. NJ. Ander-
son. attorneys for John Brown. stated to
the court that they were perfectly satis-
fed with their chances of receiving a
fair and impartial trial in this court, and
expressed themselves as being willing to
submit the case to the court and do away
