The past week bee not been at
wet as we were looking for, and
the little ebowera that fell were
not of much benefit. The weather
now indicates a dry spell, and
that is just wbat all the provi
dence farmers are not wanting.
Tbe dry weather is creeping upon
ne jnst tbe same, and there are
thonsands of acres of rice which
have not yet sprouted, owing to
the soil being so dry. Only abont
a week ago there occnrred aome
heavy showers which did a great
deal of good, bnt they were very
local, and in some localities they
were too light to*do mach good.
Complaints of dry weather come
to me from many sections of the
country, and if the rain bolds off
long enongli to'make a dry spell
of abont font weeks, then mneb
of onr rice will be very late.
Some farmers are still planting
in tbe dry soil, and that rice is
better off than tbe rice which is
jnst coming np, for if tbe rain
bolds off, this yonng rice is bonnd
to die. Owing to the condition of
the soil in many sections of the
country, the rice is coming np
very uneven, the rice which is in
shallow not being sprouted yet.
Some of the early-planted rice is
looking well and is a good stand,
and lias such a deep root that the
dry weather will not injure it
much unless it continues for a
long time. We are looking for
abundance of rain when it does
come, but if it does not come for
three or four weeks, some of the
rice will have to die. Some of
the irrigating pumpe are running,
bnt farmers are shy about hold
ing water on their rice this early,
as the nights are too cool, and
cold water would retard the
growth of the rice.
A few farmers stopped the
water from ahowera which fell a
few weeks ago, and the cold water
aud the cool nights ruined their
rice as far aa tbe water extended.
The majority of those who are
pumping will let the water off
the rice as soon as the fields are
well wet, and not Hood until the
weather gets warmer. The sea
sons vary so each year that one
eau not handle Ida crop the same
way for two yeara in succession,
and one must be ou the lonk nut
for crop advantages.
Onr rice would make a good
stand this year if the raina were
frequent enough to keep the soil
well wet up so that the rice eould
«prou t at onee. We look for our
late riee to make a good yield if
rain -does not bold off too late for
it, bnt all sprouted rice wants rain
badly at thia writing, with a few
exceptions.
We are working for the interest
of the tariff ont here, the beat
we can, and we hope that our
efforla will not prove to be fruit
less, for we now want a little proe
perity mingled in onr bad look and
depressed condition. If a reason
able tariff is secured on rice, then
tbe subject of building riee mills
will be renewed and some good
may come oat of IIj bnt, unless we
esn bave the protection, the in

Ceveraar' Bodd Orders tbe Death
Watcb Bet.
Sacramento, Cal., May 30. —
Theodore Darrant will bang on
Jane 11, one week from next Fri
day. Gov. Bodd this evening tel
ephoned that mock in effect to
Warden Hale, of Sao Quentin, ot
tbe seme time ordering tbe deotb
watcb to be placed upon the pris
oner.
Mrs. and Mrs. Darrant reeeivad
tbe news of Governor Bodd'a de
cision shortly after 10 o'clock lest
night. They expressed them
selves aa greatly disappointed bat
took tbe news quietly and with
out anger or tears.
Engene Doprey, Durrani's at
torney, last night said that there
was yet an appeal pending before
tbe Supreme Court. He added:
"Failiug in tbe State courts we
may file onr ease in the Federal
coorta, and ask far a writ of su
persedeas to the warden of the
State prison.
"This will prevent the execu
tion and eon be done either by ap
plication to the United Staten Su
preme Court, or to those of infe
rior jurisdiction."
Referring to this possibility,
Warden Hale says he will be gov
erned by the opiniou of the attor
ney general.
DURRANT HAYS HK WILL DIF. LIKR
A MAN.
San Quentiu, Cal., May 31.—
Theodore Darrant has made the
declaration that if be must meet
his fate on the gallows be will die
like a man. Tbe mere suggestion
of suicide is repulsive to him, be
says. He also declares that be
will die in the presence of bis par
ents, who will insist on attending
the execution as his invited
gnests.
The elder Darrant says bis wife
is a woman of determination and
she will press her legal rights to
tbe limit. Uuder the law War
den Hale cannot deny her admis
sion if she presents at the prisou
an invitation of her son request
ing her presenoe at the hanging.
The law gives him the right to in
vite live relatives.— Associated

The warmer anuimer season ia
coming on, and tbe Democrats
have little to do bnt gather iu tbe
weapons their enemiea are so
freely supplying them. It seems
to ns that a party uever before
marched so deliberately to its
own overwhelming overthrow as
tbe Republicans are now doiog.
They have bad à fall measure of
power and ample opportunity to
use it, hut they bava dona noth
ing but tinker up a ridiculous
tariff, keep tbe buaineae of the
country unsettled end grind their
own portionier axes. Tbe great
aud crying need of the country,
currency reform, hue not been
toughed.
Tbe financial condition of tbe
Union baa not improved a particle
aud tbe disoontent of the people
baa iuoreaeed, and j uetly increased.
Tbe great itepublioan majorletiea
of last anuimer are melting like

Yesterday afternooo tbo Times
reporter bed Ike good fortune to
seenre n tow moments' interview
with Col. G. Knobel, division en
gineer in charge of oonstrnetion
of tbo Kansas City, Pittsburg end
Gnlf railway, and from him we
gathered some interesting iteaaa.
The track in now finished into
Leet ville, Vernon parish, which
ia thirty-five miles sooth of Many.
Taendny three and a quarter miles
of track was laid, and the werk ie
progressing new nt the rate of
ebont two miles a day on the
average.
De Qnineey, which is the point
nt which tbe road divergea to
Lake Charles, is fifty miles aonth
of Lees villa. Tbe mile are already
laid and eonstroetion trains nr*
canning from Lake Charles to a
point ten mites north of De Qnia
eey; so it will be seen that bat
forty miles of treek will close the
gep and pot the road in operation
from Shreveport to Lake Cbnrlee.
This forty miles will be laid inside
three weeks, as tbe plies are all
driven and everything ie ont of
tbe way for tbe traeklayere.
From Do Qnineey to Beaomont,
on the other prong of tbe road,
tbe distance is forty-seven miles,
end from Beenmont to Port Ar
thur is twenty miles. The twenty
from Port Arthur to Beaumont ia
finished and in operation; so it
only needs tbe gap closed between
De Qnineey aud Beaumont to fin
ish np this great trank line, after
tbe first forty miles of track above
mentioned ie done.
Col. Knobel says that tbe iron
draw span of the bridge across
tbe Sabine is already la, and both
that bridge and tbe one aeroae
tbe Necbes river will be complet
ed by the time the traoklayers get
to them. "In fact," raid Col. Kno
bel, "there need be no delay to
the traeklayere whatever. Every
thing will be oat of their way by
the time they reach it."
When asked what time be
thought the road woald be eem
pleted both to Lake Cbarlee aud
tbe Golf, Col. Knobel told tbe re
porter joet wbat be bad said two
montba ago. "I think tbe road
will be oompleted by tbe 1st of
July. I am satisfied it will unless
something very unexpected oc
curs to interfere with the work."
Col. Knobel said tba steel was
coming right along, and if it is ue
oossary tbe traokluying can be
oondaeted from four different
enda via: From Leesville aonth
and from Da Qnineey north: from
De Qainoey «oath and from Beau
mont north.—Eh eryeport T imes.
The two moat oritioal times
