HOP GROWING IN THIS STATE.
Not the Slightest Trouble Except
ing the Absence of Information
to Grow 1t.

The following letter from Prof.
VIM. @. Stubbs, director of the Louis
lana experiment STATION, speaks for
itself, and is in answer to an inquiry
as to whether there is any soil along
the line Of the Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific railway suitable for rails
ing hops. The building of new brew
cries in the state and consequent grow
ing demand for hops having prompted
the inquiry:
'sMr. George H. Smith, General
Passenger Agent, Queen and
Crescent Route, New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: Your letter relative to
the growing of hops along your line
has been received.
sr'There is not the slightest trouble,
excepting the absence of information
how to grow it, Any Of the hill
lands properly handled, will grow
hops with great ease. Before growing
it, however, to any extent you must
nave SOAAo OuO aS1uoAheOu NAei viz
growing and curing of hops. We have
made no further Investigations than
simply to grow the hops locally at ouI
station at Calhoun, and We have dem
onstrated the fact that they can be
grown with great ease there.
This is the first demand that we
have ever had for hop growing in
Louisiana, and hence for the first time
we are encouraged in the small ex
periments that we have already made
Please say to Mr.. Hearn that on thu
bill lands between Monroe and Shreve
pert he can grow hops with assurance
OF success, provided proper knowl
edge of the preparation, cultivation
and harvesting of the crop be frs
obtained. Very truly yours

Inside History of Convict
Farm Purchase Told by Monroe

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-In the investi-
cation by the ways and means com
mittee of the house last night of the
purchase of the Cummins plantation
for a convict farm, an agreement was
put in evidence which was signed by
Auditor T. c. Monroe at the instance
of Governor Davis prior to the pri
mario Of 1902. In this paper Col. Mon
roe stated that he had not opposed the
denomination of Gov Davis, agreed
that he would support any legitimate
policy of his (the governor's) and
have absolute harmony as far as he
(Col. Monroe) was concerned on the
penitentiary board" Col Monroe
further agreed to vote to buy any farm
that Governor Davis and Secretary Of
State Crockett agreed upon.
He testified that when, after the
irimalies, the governor had tried to
get him to join him in the purchase of
the Altheimer place, he refused, and
the governor had threatened to call a
special session OF the legislature to
buy farm.
Secretary of State John w. Crock
EFT made short statement at the close

TO THE GOVERNOR IT GOES
Fencibles Decline to Accept Resigna-
ton of Capt. n. L. Bell

The Jefferson Fencibles are now 60
ing through troubled waters and the
outcome is not yet reached. When
Capta., Bell resigned, his resignation
was rot accepted by the company and
lie has e warded it to the governor
and no word has yet been heard
from it, At the last meeting Lieuten-
ant D, Johnson and Sargeants Pinney
and Pierce resigned and now the
company is virtually without a COM
mander until some further action is
taken by the company. Captain Bell
stated that he holds a commission as
ma jor in the Arkansas State guard and
this makes him an honorary member
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-02-27

OF last nights session, saying that
he knew nothing OF the agreement
until afterWard, and that he consider
ed it an outrage.
There were three witnesses on the
stand last night. Secretary of State
Crockett, Judge II. T. Bradford, com
missioner mines, manufactures and
agriculture, whose term of office began
just before the purchase of the farm
and Auditor r. c. Monroe
In general, aside from the Monroe
Davis agreement, the investigation
turned upon the method of inspection
G! the farm by the four members of the
beard, the time they had spent upon
it, what they found there, what had
induced them to purchase the Cum
Minis place, the sale Of cotton just be-
fore the farm was purchased, the con-
nection of the financial agent with tho
board, the extent OF his authority in
handling the funds of the penitentiary,
as to whether there had been undue
laste in the signing OF the contract
by the members exclusive of Gov. Da-
Wis, and the payment of the money on
the same afternoon.

reads like a fable from the Arabian
Nights" It's aggressiveness was first
control of the Cboctaw, Oklahoma
ana Gulf. which traverses fertile ter
ritory and which added several thous-
and miles to it's system.
Then the control of line extending
from st. Louis to Kansas City was ac-
quired and an entrance into St. Louis
was obtained through the Terminal as
sociation. It was at this point that the
OPPOSITION of the Coulds developed,
and a bitter contest was waged. Pre-
Ai0us to these purchases a lease with
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern was converted into an abso-
lutte purchase. and the matter was so
quietly conducted that it was weeks
before the financial and railroad world
really knew that the sale had been
made. By threatening to duplicate
the lines north and south of the South
ern Pacific in Texas. an arrangement
was entered into between that system
and the Rock Island. by which
half interest in all the north and south
lines Of the Southern Pacific in Texas
was acquired. This gave the Rock
Island the best terminals in all the
entrance into the Beaumont fields.
