A resolution by Alderman Grayson,

The committee is directed to submit
its estimate to Council for considera-

getting the canal closed are wonder

SURVEYING OYSTER LANDS.

The Oyster commission met in
New Orleans this week and adopted
rules governing the charges to be
made for surveying oyster lands,
The new oyster law went into effect
last Wednesday morning aud this
meeting Of the Commission was,
therefore, the first that has been
held under the law.
An incident connected with the
meeting was the resignation of John
Dymond, Jr., as the attorney for
the Commission aud the election Of
E. r. Hingle as Mr. Dymond's
successor.
The surveying charges adopted
by the Commission are as follows.
Ten acres or less, $11. Less
than twenty acres and more than
ten acres, $40. Fifty cents per
acre for all above twenty acres aud
less than 100 acres. twenty-five
cents per acre for all land ever 100
acres.
The cost of surveying a lOO0-acre
tract will be, under the new rules

THE CROPS.

From all points of the Parish we
hear the most discouraging reports
concerning the crops. The continued
wet weather il playing havoc with
the cotton and rice crop causing the
former To shed young bolls and rot
mature hollis and with the latter inter
ference with the harvesting of rice
that is ripe. n small amount has been
harvested but under such condition as
can not give good quality of product,
A bottle of cotton worms. left at the
National Bank shows that the pest is in
the crops and will soon be in shape to
DESTROY, the first crops of worms are
now webbing up rapidly which will
bring forth the army of destruction.
From Loreauville from the Coteau,
Petite Anse. other sections of the Par
ish we get reports of these worms,
Planters are very pessimistic and de-
clare that 90 per cent. of the cotton
crop is already lost. with chance of
losing the balance by worms OF
course this is an extreme view, in
which we do not concur, yet the sit
uation is very discouraging. The one
bright spot in the farmers horizon is
the cane crop which is in fine condi
ton. We have heard some say that
at this date they could cut a colored
cane for the mill as large as they cut
last November, this shows surprising
growth and if nothing disastrous oc.
ours in the way of freeze. the ton
mage of the cane crop will exceed form
er years and as good prices are being
offered the profitableness of the crop
depends on how much of it can be de-
livered before n freeze.

GROW MORE FRUIT.

The following is equally as APP
plicable to Louisiana as to Ala
bama. While Louisiana is making
rapid strides in that direction,
there is still room for great i'm
provement, especially in the south
western portion of the state.
A recent issue of the Southern
Farm Magazine, speaking for the
south, thinks "it is remarkable that
the farmers pay so little attention
to fruit growing and a fruit diet.
There is not one farmer in twenty
that has fruit throughout the year.
With proper management, one NAV
have southern grown fruit upon his
table every day in the year, and
yet frnit rs diet is not in general
use. Beginning with strawberries
early in the season, one might have
IN succession raspberres, peaches,
pears, grapes and apples The lat
ter by n judicious selection of
varieties, could be made to last
until strawberries come again"
1t is not 81 much the lack of at
tention paid to fruit growing, as it
is the failure TO take measures to
preserve it for future use. But it
is certainly true that the southern
people are paying too little attention
to fruit growing That a liberal
use OF fruit especially in summer
season, is conductive to health, is
fact established beyond contro-
verSy. There is too much affirm
alive evidence for any doubt to ex-
lst AS a part of each meal good
ripe fruit is both desirable aud
healthful, and it shonld be used
much more generally than it now
is.
Every portion OF Alabama is
adapted to frnits of some kind. All
kinds may not be successfully
grown in every section, but some
kinds will flourish where cultivated.
All farmers ought to raise at least
enough to supply their families all
the year, and they ought also to learn
how to save it for winter use They
do it throughout the North aud we
know no good reason why it may
not be done in Alabama. 1t would
be pleasant addition to the bill of
fare and cause a material reduction
Of medical expenses. -Moatgomery

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA,

i After unique and interesting rec
ord of seyenty-nine years under a
Chairman OF the Faculty and a system
of faculty government, the University
of Virginia has created and filled the
office of President With this action
| the most renowned of State universit ties
relinquished the democratic form of
government impressed upon it by its
distinguished founder and accepts the
form generally approved today The
University has not made this change
because of any loss of prestige or of
any sense of failing force. The SEES
sion of 1908 '04 was the next TO the
largest in her memorable history and
her prospects are increasingly good.
But the change has been made because
of the hope and belief that form Of
government better adapted to modern
conditions could promote her educa-
tional prospects, advance her material
interests and bring her into closer con-
nection with the popular educational
movements of the South. While many
may regard this rs surrender of a |
successful experiment and may deplore |
the change from an academic demo-
cracy to the presidential regime, all |
will acknowledge the prudent deliber-
alton with which the change has been
brought about and commend the wis.,

MRS. MAVERICK A TOTAL
WRECK.

| Friends and relatives of Mrs. Flor
ence Maybrick will be shocked TO learn
that while they are whiting her ar
rival in the United States she il still
in France aud her condition is more
pitiable than has ever been imagined
Mrs Maybrick is now with her
mother the Baroness de Rouues in
Rouen II can be stated on absolute
authority that the long Imprisonment
has at last affected her mind. She
is guarded from the public gaze with
the utmost care even the servants of
the house not being allowed to see her
But it is known beyond doubt that she
is so mentally Frustrated that her
mother feels the keenest alarm con
corning her. Indeed it is extremely
doubtful if she will ever recover.
The long strain of imprisonment
coupled with the nervous tension due
to her owledge that her friends
were always working in her behalf,
proved in the end too much for her to
bear, and when in at last, after years
she was again to become a free wo-
man, the shock proved too much and
she collapsed, both mentally and ply
sically.
The Baroness, who has sacrificed
both her life and her fortune to the
object of securing the release Of her
daughter, is terribly affected. The
physical and mental wreck that has
been handed over to her by the British
Home Office is not her daughter of.the
olden days, but poor shattered crea
ture with all trace of humanity
stamped out
The Baroness has had two expert
aliensts in attendance on her daugh-
ter and they have expressed the fixed
opinion that Mrs Maybrck must be
taken to All asylum for the insane be-
fore she can recover. Even they ex-
press doubt as to the outcome. The
woman has no delusion seemingly but
she is absolutely dazed and passive.
Her appearance is pitiable in the
extreme There are times when she
does not even recognize her mother
to arouse her to action She takes
not the slightest interest in her
surroundings She has been buried
from the world so long that she has
forgotten all about it and looks about
her as one in dream.
All of the American plans are upset
There is no hope of the unfortunate
woman being taken across the water
at this time, or, indeed, in the near
future, if ever
The complete mental collapse came
on Monday and since that time the |
poor woman has not aroused from her
apathy in the least degree Yester-
day, she ate nothing at all. Her de.
sire for food seems to have left her |
She is really being kept |
alive by artiefiial means, and unless
there is radical change in her condi-
ton it is firmly believed that she will
not survive the shock.
