will help matters here.

cultivation will help matters here.
The corn crop Of the parish ia
disappointing, and, in many Sec
tions. will not be over twothirds
of a crop. The worms and storms
have done much damage and late
corn has not made much advance.
In the Sixth ward much Of the
crop is poor, with exceptions per-
haps in favor Of Sarah and Nor
bihan plantations, which seem to
have better luck than most, as
the seed was good and fair
stand obtained. The last cult
walton is being given to some
pieces of cane here, and condi-
tons seem to point to an average
crop Corn is very good. At
Loreauville, the prospect is rath-
er gloomy owing to the great loss
es by overflow. Most of the cane
will be required for seed, prob
ably the smallest tonnage for the
mill will be made here for years
coming mostly from the west side
of the bayou. At L. d. Brous-
sards place fair crop is seen,
which being entirely above over
flow has not been disturbed. A
good corn crop is ON this place.
The promised seed for the suffer-
ers by overflow has at last arrived
and is being distributed by the
FLOOD Committee and United
States Agricultural Agent. Cot
ton, corn, cowpeas, sorghum and
other seeds comprise the shipment,
which was inadequate to supply
the needs. 1t is stated that the
SouthernPacific Railroad will also
distribute some seed to the suffer
ers along its line in this section.
Rice continues to improve. Mr..
T. A. Conrad states he will have
rice to cut by the Goth of July,
thus entering the market first
again. The crop is up to the aver
age and only untoward conditions
at harvest can reduce the result.

PRAISE FOR BROUSSARD FOR
CONVENTION WORK.

Assurances that the sugar plank
of the Democratic platform was
thoroughly satisfactory to Mr..
Bryan, Senator Kern Of Indiana
and Senator O'Gorman of New
York, and that q distinguished
Louisianian, Senator Elect Rob-
ert F. Broussar1, was the Trainer
Of the plank, were given yesterday
by DR.. E. F. Frere Of Franklin,
Judge w. p. Martin Of Thibo-
daux and B. j. Vega of Donald
sonville, who arrived yesterday
from Baltimore and are at the
Monteleone Hotel.
DR.. Frere said that the papers
of the South and Of Louisiana had
not given the credit to Mr.. Brous-
sard that he deserves for his work
ct the convention.
ITO Senator Broussard we Of
Louisiana owe the three most es-
sertial parts of the platform, as
far as the South is concerned, !"
said DR.. Frere. HE wrote the
sugar plank and the plank de-
handing free tolls for the PAN
anna Canal, and did the greater
part Of the framing Of the plank
demanding the Federal control Of
the Mississippi. In that he was
assisted by Senator Elect vards-
man Of Mississippi. Mr.. Brous-
sard was one Of the most ardent
workers for DIR. Wilson, and from
the approval which Senators
Kern and O'Gorman and Mr..
Bryan gave to the sugar plank,
we were satisfied that it met with
the hearty Endorsement Of the
Democratic nominee. Mr.. Brous-
sard was a big man at that con-

Favorable conditions have pre-
vailed this week throughout the
parish, good rains have fallen, the
temptrature favorable and grow
ing weather has benefited the
crops. Under the stimulus Of
rains the prospect has improved
and cane has taken q start and is
growing well. Some few pieces
have been laid by, while others
have been put in condition that
will require but little work to
finish. On the whole the outlook
il better. Stubble and plant cane
are getting thicker aad larger,
and if rains continue the crop
will soon be up to the average size
for this time Of the year. In the
Patontville district rain has been
very much needed and the crop
remains small, but now that show.
err have come TO this section, inn
provement will be seen. In the
Eecpni ward, the crop Of cane Is
fcirly good, and cultivation is be-
ing pushed with vigor. At Or

ment continues. The stand is not
very perfect, il is thought the tom

NEW LINE FOR 9. e o

Richmond, Va, Dec. 7.-According
to Claiming M. Ward, president of
the Norfolk, Washington and New
York railroad, a new line will be built
through the State of Virginia that
will give the B & o. a direct outlet
to the South. The proposed line runs
from Washington Junction, on the B.
& o line in Maryland to Norfolk,
Virginia, here it will make direct
connection with the Norfolk and
Southern and with the Seaboard.
Connections will also be made with
the Southern railroad at Manassas
and with the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac at Fredericksburg.
At present the r. f. & p. has alb
solute control of the situation with
regard to southbound traffic. The
new line would be in every respect
an air line 1t is not proposed to even
vary a few miles TO touch Richmond.
If built the line will be PIT miles
long, 1t will border the tidewater
district throughout its length.

Mrs. Martin Tells About a Painful
Experience that Might Have
Ended Seriously.

Rivesville. w. Va.-Mrs. Dora Martin,
IN a letter from Rivesville, writes:
"For three years, l suffered with wo-
manly troubles, and had pains in my
back and side. / was nervous and
could not sleep at night.
The doctor could not help me He
said would have to be operated on be-
fore I could get better. I thought I
would try using Cardui.
Now, | am entirely well.
! am sure Cardui saved my life. I
will never be without Cardui in my
home. I recommend it to my friends"
For fifty years, Cardui has been re-
lieving pain and distress caused by wo-
manly trouble. 1t will surely help you.
1t goes to the spot-reaches the
trouble-relieves the symptoms. and
drives away the cause.

Mr.. Outcalt Is q prominent fruit
grower of Berkeley county, and a few

The apple crop this year, accord
