For Vice-President, ARTHUR SEWALL, Of Maine. The legislature in its recent ses sion passed the following law on peddlers : Peddlers on foot $10; on horseback $15; in a one'horse vehicle $40; and in two horse vehi cles $75. No half year licenses can be issued after this law goes into effect.- St. Mary Banner. For several days workmen have been engaged at Kaufman's ware house sacking wool bought several weeks ago, and on Saturday Mr. Gayle exhibited a fleece, which the men came across in the lot, measur ing fully seven feet long and as many wide. The wool is a rich brown, of fine texture, and must have covered an immense animal.--Lake Charles Praes. The new jury law enacted by the recent session of the legislature pro vides that the names of the jurors t*elected be published in the official journal of the parish. The jury commissioners are five citizens ap pointed by the District Judge and the Clerk of Court is an sx-officio member of the commission. The jurors will receive $2 per day and 5 cents per mile going and coming from their homes to the courthouse. The cheapest piece of property ever known to have been sold in East Feliciana parish was the Mill wood place, sold at Jackson, La., last month' for $600 on twelve months' credit. It comprises sixteen acres of land, dwelling house, a large hall and several outhouses. The dwelling when erected cost $8,00C, and the hall $2,750. It is said that none of the outhouses could be built for the price the entire place sold for. Northern and Eastern manufac turers are giving their employes ob" ject lessons relative to the agitation for free silver by closing down their establishments or reducing their forces. Others are issuing circulars to the men in their employ in which the terrible effects of free silver are given, or in which they are asked to join "sound money" clubs and so on. Down south they call that bulldo zing.-Monroe News. Such populists as Hardy Brian, Bazoo Bailey and Greasy Guice in Louisiana favor the McKinley ticket for president and are trying to have the rank and file of that party sup port the republican nominee. Old man Pharr, whom the populists voted for in April and was then a lhowling free silver man, is ready with his bounty-fatted check book to push along the McKinley ticket. Funny folks be these leading popu lists in Louisiana. They are after "pie" and nothing else.--Clarion Appeal. Another New Louisiana Road. There is a great deal more being done in the way of railroad develop ment of Louisiana than most people know. Every now and then some of the officials of the many new lines now in progress of construction come to the city and tell of this develop ment. Yesterday a reporter found Mr. E. Daboval, secretary of the Central Louisiana Road, in the city. He came over on some business con nected with the Acadia Rice Milling Company, of which he is part owner and general manager. "As far as the rice crop this sea son is concerned," he said, "the crop is far short of that expected when the planting was made. Many of the rice planters in Acadia and Cal casieu parishes planted for one-third less crop this season than last, but the drouth has cut the crop down to even a third or more less than this, so that you see there is not such a'good outlook for rice hoem our sec tion of the State. "Despite this fact, however, and despite the general uneasy condition of the financial world, the people seem to be more interested in rail road building than usual. The Central Louisiana Road, a line which has been projected for some time, but upon the building of which operations have not yet been started, is meeting with much more encour agement from the people than usual, and the prospects are that in a short time the proper rights of way will have been secured and active work begun. This road will ran from Palmetto, on the Texas and Pacific, ,down through St. Landry parish, which is a rich parish, to Crowley, crossing the Southern Pacific there, and from that point making a settle. ment known as Red Hills, from which it proposes to run direct to Abbeville, a line in all, from Pal metto to Abbeville, of some seventy five or eighty miles in length. "The road will thus penetrate a II very fertile section of country, one f where the rice business is already flourishing and one where cane may be produced in large quantities. The road will cross the Southern Pacific twice in making the Abbeville ter minal, or rather, the Southern Paci fic proper once at Crowley, and the Alexandria branch at or near Wash ington. The new road will, from Abbeville, seek to secure a port at Vermilion bay, some twenty-five or thirty miles distant to the south ward. It may not be a fact gener ally known; but Vermilion bay promises to afford one of the best harbors all along the gulf coast, and 1 with very inconsiderable outlay of capital can be reached and utilized." Mr. Daboval spoke very encour agingly of the new road and says that he has every reason to believe the trouble which has' been expe rienced during the past year or so in securing certain desirable rights of way will be overcome, and the road started. Ex-Senator Hampden Story, well known all over the State, is presi dent of the new road. Mr. Daboval is secretary, and ExDeputy United t States Surveyor Wm. Bradford is t the surveyor, who is now looking after the rights of way through the swamps.-N. O. Picayune, 15th instant. As a land restorer and renovator and incidentally as a hay plant, the cow pea renders its greatest service to the country. And it is only of late years that it has been generally planted for these purposes. Com paring it with red clover, we find that the cow pea has several points of advantage, while it is inferior in none that are important. One of these most valuable advantages is the ease and certainty of securing a "stand" and the fact that it can be grown as a "catch crop," i. e., it t may be planted or sown in the regu lar corn crop and so conveniently follow a crop of small grain. From the planting of the seeds to the har t vesting of the vines for hay, or the ripening of the pods when left to mature seed, there is a period of but 60 to 100 days. The Whippoorwill (speckled) pea planted June 1 will be ready for the mower by the last r days of August; and the ripe pods will be ready to gather early in Sep tember. The "New Era" variety is still earlier, while others arc later. Third District Convention. The Democratic Convention for S the Third Congressional District met Tuesday at Morgan City, and was called to order at 1o o'clock p. m., by chairman Sims. H. N. Coulon was made chairman and J. M. Dyer secretary. The report of it the committee on credentials seated the Mouton delegation from Lafay. a ette, and the report was sustain- s ed. The committee on resolu- t tions, reported the following resolu- d tions :d Resolved, That we extend a hearty o welcome to all our fellow-citizens E I regardless of their past party affilia- t tions to join us in this great battle r for the interest of the entire people, c t and we urge the adoption of some , arrangements by the various politi cal parties of this State so as to in sure all free silver men being united t on the same ticket. Resolved, That sugar has for many years been regarded by the Democratic party as an ideal reve nue producing article, and that the nominee of this convention be re quested to urge upon the national Democracy the necessity of placing such a tariff upon sugar as will both afford the government a large reve nue and our sugar producers inci dentally protection for their product. t We also urge our nominee to bear in t mind and secure from the National t Congress just tariff rates on our pro t ducers of lumber, rice, etc. t Nominations being then in order, t , on. J. Y. Sanders placed in nomi nation the Hon. A. C. Allen, and was followed by John F. Wyche, who placed in nomination the name of Hon. Robert Broussard. Nomi nations were then closed, and the vote being called by parishes result ed in the selection of Hon. Robert a Broussard, the vote stood : Brons e sard 55, Allen 54. On motion of Y J. Y. Sanders the nomination was e made unanimous. c Mr. Broussard in a very pretty speech thanked the,convention for the honor, and was followed by Hon. e A. C. Allen in a speech of loyalty to the Democratic party. ,t While we heartily favored Judge r Allen's nomination and regard him as the strongest man in the district we feel sure the Democracy of Ver It milion will rally to the support of d the gallant Brenssard. . _ .._____ . ... The negroes are very much in I favor of McKinley. The New Or leans Republican boastfully says : McKinley is solid on the Negro question. While governor of Ohio he appointed Negroes to office and otherwise showed the Negroes as great consideration as any other class of voters. His iepublicanism takes not into consideration the color of a man's skin. STATE OF LOUISIANA-PAR ISH OF VERMILION. THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, vs. DELINQUENT TAX DEBTORS OF THE PARISH OF VERMILION.
