louisiana will use ! historic plantation1 for convict farms; CBv Associated Press) i NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 12. The breaking up or one of the largest estates of the Old South i3 about to be j made complete with the acquisition)

by the state of Louisiana of the celebrated Ackland plantations, which are to be taken under the right of expropriation for state uses in connection

with the convict farms. While the breaking up of the large estates in Great Britain is a subject of frequent comment, the division of the largest estates of the South has received little notice. The Ackland plantations were part of a great estate which for many years had remained in one family. Prior to the Civil war Colonel J. A. S. Ackland. the father of William Hayes Ackland, of Washington, D. C, was the owner of seven plantations in one body on the Mississippi river. The plantations surround the Lake of the Cross, where the explorer LaSalle and his priests planted the cross on the discovery of Ixmisiana. Besides his plantations. Colonel Ackland was the owner of many thousands of acres on Matagorda Bay, Texas; a town house in the city of Nashville, Tenn., and the largest stock farm in the south, six miles from Gallatin, Tenn. Was Show Place In addition to these properties, he began to build in 1855, two miles from Nashville, Tenn., what he intended should be the most palatial private residence In America, with a ballroom, picture gallery and seven conservatories, and which bore the name Belmont after the place of Portia at Padua. For many years Belmont was

a show place and even known in Eu

rope. It is said to have suggested

the description of the home of Saint

Elmo in that once popular novel. After the death of Colonel and Mrs.

Ackland, Belmont passed out of the hands of the family. It was bought by a syndicate and became one of the most flourishing colleges for women in the South, and was known as Ward

Belmont college.

As a result of the emancipation of

his 1.100 slaves. Colonel Ackland was

unable to carry on the immense drain

Ing systems on his cotton plantations in Louisiana. The embankments,

known as (lie levies, which protected the land from overflow fell into dray and finally the advent of the boll weevil made the culture of cotton so precarious that the land ceased to yield an income. The state of Louisiana, having the whole convict system at its disposal, will restore the drainage system and ouild the levies. ,
