What Col. Harrison Parker
Has to Say.

Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 4-The
State Penltentiary Board tonight
decided upon the location of the
two State convict farms. West
Feliclana Will get the cotton farm
aud Iberia the sugar farm. The
two plantations: Angola and Hope,
comprise about II, 500 acres. They
are in splendid state of cultivation
and are supplied and equipped
with mules, forage. feed, imple-
ments, etc really for the imme-
date reception of nearly five
hundred State convlcts, who next
year will cultivate the lands to
their fully capacity.
Col. &. Harrison Parker, Presi-
dent of the Board of Control,
tonight made the following state
ment to Times-Delnocrat re
purter:
"The Angola plantation, which
we selected for the cotton plantr-
ton, IS located opposite the mouth
of Red river, in the parish of W es,
Fellciana. The total acreage il
$500 acres, so that 1t will even uai-
ly afford room to work SIX hundred
or seven hundred men.
''In relation TO the sugar planta-
ton, / can say that some of the
finest properties IN the State were
offered us. The choice of the
Board was, however, restricted by
the relative differences In We uallor.
There was not so much diff .rence
IN the advantage OF location. We
bought !. the Hope plantation,
situated in Iberia parish. 1t fronts
on the Teche, and extends back 10
the Grand Lake. 1t has upon ii
about 500 acres of this years
stubble, and plant cane for 500
acres, Sd u a, we will have 1000
acres Of cane to cultivate IN 1901.
There are 28cO acres Ia the tract.
The mules, farming implements,
Iced and forage 60 with The place.
II has sugar house complete, with
a capacity OF 400 tons per day,
double effect. vacuum pans, etc.
There are three and half miles of
narrow gauge railroad on the
property, with $50 ears aid steam
dummy engine 10 haul them. The Q
Is comple,e p!ant for the man, :
fac. ure OF brick and tiles, which can
be operated to great advantage, the
bayou afford'ng the means Of cheap
tsansi orlation. The price paid for
tbs place is only $78, or about
the value Of the sugar house. Sucn
an opportunity does not present
itself often.

Grand Coteau, La, Nov.25, 1900.
The wearers OF the cardinal and
gold yelled long and loud yesterday
when the College eleven played
its first game of football with
Grand Coteau and toasted them on
the gridiron by score of
II to 0.
The day was a genuine football
day. Old Boreas twisted and spun
and blew from his icy regions, but
was tempered sufficiently by our
genial Southland to make HIM just
snlffy and spicy.
AT 2::46 p. M, the teams lined up
and at the given signal the oval was
set twirllDg Grand Coteau won
the toss and chose for goal. the kick
off then went to the College boys,
and for full fifteen minutes the
leather swayed now to ore side and
then to another, till Silvlo Gonsou.

lin Of Loreauvllle, securing It, by a
dashlng leap over quarterback and
halt-back, sent it straight through
tbe enemies goal. College s, Grand
Cote u, 0.
The cardinal and gold bleacbers
cheered themselves hoarsc. Play
was called and once again the
College champions bsttled in fierce
sArnest against the giants from the
Hill.
The pigskln rose and fell, was
pmted aud snapped and scrimmage
after scrimmage took place till
Zenon Dugas grabbing the oval BY
skillful tackllng and lodging made
clean so yards dash and landed II,
safe IN Grand Coteaa's goal.
Score - 10 o in favor Of the
College hoys.
Again the lusty bleachers Of the
cardinal ard gold greeted their
|favorites with rousiug cheer. But
fifteen minutes remain to make up
1.-The first half so the gildiron was
once mole heated and the giants
now realizing their fall made one
desperate effort to place the bali
back Of the College goal, but all to
no avail.
The College hoYs once again
secured the oval and in solid
phalanx carried it through the
enemies fort. securing touch down
jast IN time to heal the s,gpaI
given for the ten minutes rest be-
tween play. Score II to 0, IN favor
of the College.
Old Bofeas himself stood aghast
At the ysll that rose from the,
rooters of the cardinal and gold.
The second half. The College
eleven came into the field confident
Of victory, whilst their opponents
wore Z determined look.
Thsee latter ones now realized
that they we're not the only ones
IN the game, though they dill
ontcIass the College in weight, this
being % lao to 100.
In this half both teams squibble,
but we're TOO blown to rush the oval
through either way. Time csllsd,
the score stood II to o in favor
