near Stonewall, about twenty years
since, and he preduceil 11 bhushels
on one acre. The Police Jury had
offered a prize to the man produc
ing the largest amnount of corn on
one acrt. Hlarwell had a piece of hill
land that had sbeen used a4 a gin

cattle, and although naturally very
poor land, was as rich as could be
made. ie mieasured off exactly one
acre. and planted it in the prolific

possible attention. The seasons were
favorable, and it was soon evident
that he had won the prize. When it
was ready to gather the Police Jury
appointed a committee to see it gath

corn was gathered and carefull.

was shown that he had produced
1.51 bushels of good corn 'on the

"Make Haste Slowly" on Good Road.
The gang of prisoners employed
on the model road near Baton Rouge
ha< ieen employed for the past three
weeks. and the fact that there has
been but little actual work done on
the road proper has given rise to
the remark that the work is pro
gressing rather slowly.
The reason why little work has
been done on the road. is due to the
fact that most of the time has been
spent on the natural drain which
traverses the road about the middlle
of the depression. This drain is be
ing opened, cleared of stumps and
shaped for a distance of some 4000
feet to t he south of the road, in or
der to make the work done on the
road of a permanent nature and to
prevent an overflow.
Rock ballast or other surfacing
material is to be used in the mid.
dle of the road to key tle entire fa
bric, and experience has shown the
government roadmakers that when
this system is used in connection
with proper accessories it makes the
best type of road for this section of
the country.
Hog Raising lrofitable.
Will Register. of Clayton. La.,
shipped fifty-eight hogs to New Or
leans. which he sdld at 7 1-2 cents
a pound on foot. They averaged 130
pounds each. This shows that hogs
can be profitably raised here, and
some of the more progressive farm
ers have taken time by the forelock
in the mritter of diversification.
Judge Van Voorheis. owner of the
Indlian Village plantation in the same
neighborhood, has made arrange
ments to ship a carload of brood
sows to .his place. and will raise
hogs on an 4xtensive scale,. as a pack
ing house in Natchez will insure a
good market.
('otton Sells at (;ood Price.
For mnore than two weeks Grand
Cane has been paying Shreveport
quotations for cotton. While the buy
ers may sustain a small loss, news
of the .high market has been the
means of a manifold increase in
trade. Several customers from East
Texas and many from rimote sections
of eDo $oto hauled away wagoiloads
of merchandise in exchange for the
cotton they brought. The burning
of the Keatchii gin turned much uin
ginned cottssn to (;ranid C(ane. and
now the gins have to ruin into night
to accommodate the trade.

Season Good for Duatts.
Ncrtwiths'anding the hunting sea
son is not well open hundreds of
Sducks are being killed and sent out
of Verm.i'on parish for market. This
is an industry that is very profitable
to a few at the expense of the many.
The law limits the shipment of game
to six each kind daily by one indi
sidual but it permits of hundreds
of ducks to be carted or boated out
of the parish to adjoining parishes
to he disposed of or shipped at pleas
ure. From 2.000 to 3,000 ducks
are being carried on boats from
Cheinne au Tigre and Belle Isle to
.tearnerette. Franklin and Morgan
City each week for disposition in the
local markets or to be shipped. This
slaughter' lromises to grow larger
when the season fully opens. It is
reported that ducks are more numer
ous on the sea marshes now than
they have been at any other time
within the past twenty years. Mal
lards. red heads and green-wing
teals ha\e not begun to arrive in
numbers yet. The ducks now so
numerous are the blue-wing teal and
pintails. When the Northern ducks
come in the numbers will be more
than doubled.
Final Alternations on New Depot.
After blue prints of plans furnish
ed by the Texas and Pacific Railroad
for additions, alterations, improve
nments etc.. for the enlargement of the
present depot at Donaldsonville, the
Progressive Union of that place re
turned the plans with the following
suggestions: That train sheds or
arcades snould be erected along the
full lengt' of the platform on both
ends of the depot, and that a shed
or arcade should be erected connect
ing the Lafourche branch with the
depot of the "main line."The length
of the depot proper should be ex
tended nineteen feet instead of nine
feet as proposed on plans. and the ad
ditional space thus created be utiliz
ed to increase the area of the waiting
rooms.
Crop of Potatoes Precede Cotton.
Farmers at Grand Cane are plac
ing orders for seed Irish potatoes for
the 1910 crop. This year a large
number of carload shipments were
made from there and next season
pormises a much larger acreage.
Some of the best yields obtained on
any cotton were on land that produc
ed early: Irish potatoes. This land
was highly fertilized for potatoes
and with no additional fertilization,
cotton was planted as soon as the
potatoes were gathered. After grow
ing a fine crop of potatoes, E. W.
Iioell of this place raised two bales
of cotton, without additional fertil
izer. on three acres. Many ot.her ex
amples can be furnished.
Youth Barely Escapes Death.
At Independence Lorenzo Viola,
aged nineteen had a narrow escape
from death while hauling lumber.
\Vhile trying to cross the tracks at
the railroad crossing, which is near
the mill. he was obstructed by a
work train that was distributing
gravel along the north bound track,
and while hi; attention was thus
attracted a south-bound freight train
turned the curve a short distance
atbove the crossing, running at a
high speed and without any warn
ing crushed into the wagon, scatter
ing the lumber and severely injured
Viola. The hourse in some way es
caped injurry.
McGee Not Guilty of Murder.
A deathlike stillness pervaded the
.building when the verdict in the
McGee murder case was handed to
Judge Sorrell'-, when it was read:
\'e. the jury. find accused not
guilty." There was no demonstra
tion in the crowded courtroom, but
joy was plaitily depicted on the
countenance of t; e accused, who
shook hands with his attorney and
the jury. Thus ended one of the
hardest-fought cases on the part of
attorney ever witnessed in Vernon
Parish.
(;in Ik'%troyed By Fire.
Fire destroyed the gin of Aycock
Brothers at logansport. The origin
of the re is unknown. rhe loss on
building and machinery is about

were only two hales of c(otton at the
gin and these were badly schorched
but were saved by being rolled into
the river.
Scarlet Fever Scare Over.
The first two cases of scarlet fe

IFT OF A MILLION DOLLARS
John D. Rockefeller to Fight
the Hook Worm Disease.
TWO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE INFECTED
Bulk of the Work Will Be Done i
the South, Where the Disease is
Said to Be Prevalent Among
the Poorer Classes.
New York.-A gift of one million
do'lars by Jno. D. Rockefeller to fight
the "hook worm disease." was an
nounced at the office of the Standard
Oil Company .here.
A dozen well known educators and
scientists, selected in a large part
from institutions of learning in the
south, where the parasite is preva
lent, were called in conference with
Mr. Rockefeller's representative at
the Standard Oil Company's office at
26 Broadway, and at that meeting
Mr. Rockefeller's desires to organize
a commission to carry on a campaign
against the malady was discussed. As
a result of this discussion of the sit
uation, the Rockefeller commission
for the eradication of the hook worm
disease was organized.
In calling these gentlemen togeth
er, Mr. Rockefleler addressed to each
a letter pointing out his interest in
relieving the human suffering caused
by the hook worm parasite, especially
because he said, it had been his pleas
ure to spend a portion of each year
among the warm hearted people of
the South and welcomed the oppor
tunity to express appreciation of their
many kindnesses and hospitalities.
The members of the commission in
framing a reply to Mr. Rockefeller's
offer of $1,000,000 declared that the
proposition met with their heartiest
approbat ion.
"Two millions of our people are
infected with this parasite," they
added. "It is by no means confined
to one class; it take its toil of suf
fering and death from the intelligent
and well-to-do as well as from the
less fortunate."
The "hook worm" according to
New York medical authorities, is a
hair like parasite to which is charged
a form, of aneima prevalent especially
among the poor people of the South.
It was not until recent years that
members of the medical profession
recognized that a parasite caused the
malady.
In December, 1902, Dr. Charles
Wardell Stiles, then a zoologist, in
the bureau of animal industry at
Washington, who had been studying
intestinal parasites, announced to the
Pan American Sanitary Congress his
conviction that the so-called "lazi
ness" and "shiftlessness" widely ob
served in certain portions of the
south was a specific disease, due to
the hook worm. Many members of
the congress expressed surprise at
the announcement and up to the
present the disease has been a matter
of some controversy.
HEAl) SE'VERED BY AX.
Syrian Peddler Killed By Negroe-
Motive Robbery.
Meridian, Mliss.-News of the mur
der of a Syrian peddler in a most
brutal manner by negroes and the
supposed lynching of the murderers
reached here from Kemper county. It
is said that the peddler stopped with
his wagon of wares at a negro house,
seven miles from DeKalb, and spread
his goods out for inspection by two
negroes. While the inspection was
in progress, it is said, two other ne
groes crept up behind the Syrian and
severed his head from his body with
an ax. The headless corpse was then
placed in the seat of the wagon, and
the horse was headed down the road.
The head was placed under the seat
of the wagon.
Several hundred yards down the
road. the lifeless body was discovered
by some'white men. who stopped the
horse and began an inv,tligatlon. A
crowd of men gathered on the spot
and began a search for the murder
ers. Going back toward the direc
tion from which the wagon came the
men came to the house where the
crime had been committed. It was
easy to establieF. this fact, for blood
spots were plainly in evidence. Going
into the house the men found the
four negroes huddled on 'he floe- dl
vidlng the contents of the peddler's
pack. The four negroes have disap
peared, and it is stated '.at they
were put to death.
SEES NATIONAL PARK.
Speakers, GCovernors and Congres
men Steal March on President.
Virksburg, Miss.--Uncle Joe Can
non, twenty-five Governors and the
congressional party saw what Vicks
burg wanted President Taft to see
the National Park and Cemetery.
Mr. Taft wanted to see the Nation
al Park. And V'lcksburg had its
heart set on having the President
taken through this reservation of
more than 1-200 acres. Mr. Taft was
disappointed. and so was Vicksburg.
Mr. Taft had been figuring on see
