THE CONDITION OF M. LABoRL
Latest Bulletin shows a Slight I'm.
prOvement-An Affecting
Meeting.

Rennes. Aug. IA, II p. m.-The fo.-
lowing bulletin regarding the condi-
tion of NJ. Labori was issued at ten
o'clock:
Temperature, 37.O5; no fever. Condi.
tion stationary"
There has been, therefore, slight
improvement during the last few
hours. VI. ss
NJ. Labori's mother arrived here this
evening. She had believed him dead,
and most affecting interview ensued.
Later N. Labori received Matthew
.Dreyfns, brother of Capt. Dreyfus.
There is some talk of NJ. Albert
Ciemenceau, the younger of the two
brothers, coming as substitute for
Labori. The question, however, will
be definitely decided tomorrow. NJ.
Ciemencean was one of Zola's counsel
at his trial, and has followed the Drey-
fus affair very closely. While he lacks
the magnetic influence of Labori in
pleading, he is extremely skillful in
cross-eXumination.

he learned that Dreyfus was appar-
emily innocent, and that Commandant
Esterhazy was the traitor and author
OF the bordereau. One day in May,
1896, the fragments of local pneu-
matte tube card, or petit bleu," fell
into his hands. The card was ad-
dressed to Esterhazy, and it's contents
seemed to SAVIOR of suspicious mys-
terry. He took the trouble to ret sam.
pies of Esterhazy's handwriting in or
der to be prepared for further deyol-
opments. His first glance at these
samples convinced him that the writ
ing was the same as that of the IN.
nous bordereau, which had been pub
lished in fac-simile and was familiar
to everybody.
Inquiry revealed the fact that Ester
hazy was an unprincipled character;
had been hard up for money; had ma
ligned the army; had formely belonged
to the general staff, and had borrowed
an artillery firing manual, which he
had never returned. In short, IL was
proved that he was the author of the
bordereau. Before Col. Picquart's dis
covery was announced, Esterhazy's
stock broker, named De Castro, inde-
pendently discovered the same fact,
When Picquart first told his supe-
riors, Generals Cons and Bloisdefire,
OF his discovery they showed great In
.terest and told him to 60 ahead. But

whom he resided in Montgomery county.
Maryland, until the 9th day Of October, 1891
and that ever since their marriage, as afore.
said, the plaintiff has behaved himself as a

THE ONE ACRE CROP FAD

A fad is usually passing fancy, popular
for a time, but quickly dropped and forgot.
ten, as for instance the red necktie fad of a
few years ago. But we see the Galveston
Neaos tells of a Texas fad that is likely to
have much vogue which deserves 70 become
permanent. II 10 called the one. acre crop
fad, and large number Of farmers will in.
dulge themselves in it. Stated simply, the
farmer will pick out the best acre on his
place and exert special efforts 10 the end OF
producing the largest crop possible on that
acre, or seeing how great he can make his
profits from It, This Is not to stand In the
way of ordinary farming operations, OF
course, but Is to be somewhat In the nature
of a side issue. The fad-acre may be farmed
on the extensive plan, or new ideas may be
tried upon It, but its function is to show the
capabilities Of Texas soil when special at
tention is shown TO It.
The idea is not new one, but 1t has been
followed In different sections of Maryland
and In parts oil this county. Many Of the
more progressive farmers have set off one
acre and made speciality Of cultivating it,
and II would probably be in bounds to say
that nine times out Of ten the acre 30 sci
apart has given most bounteous returns fol-
the kindness shown IT, Indeed, at one oil
our recent Agricultural Fairs we heard one
of many Of the enterprising and advanced
farmers remark, in speaking on this very
subject, that he had tried It and found that
his single acre had given him products to
the cash value of nearly $500. That was
truly an exceptional showing, but it illus
trates the possibilities Of Montgomery soil
when carefully and intelligently titled.
It would not be possible for every farmer
TO duplicate this instance Of success, and the
majority of them might make less than hall
as much from their one-scre crops. But u
they realized only one .iourth, or $75, the
first year, there would no doubt be profit 10
the experiment, and the experience gained
would be worth money another year. The
small farm highly cultivated is, unquestion
ably, more profitable than the large farm
cultivated upon the loose and careless plan
that is too frequently followed, and it may
be that the one-acre crop that Is to be adopt
ed in Texas may be the means OF bringing
her farmers to see the truth OF the asser-
ton.
