MISSISSIPPI AND IMMIGRATION.

Mr.. G. r. Byrnes, Jr., Of Natchez,
Miss, has just issued u small but in
teresting pamphlet on "Misslssippi
and the South as Pertaining to Home
Seekers. which has the cordial in
dorsement OF Gcv. McLaurin and of
other prominent citizens Of Mississp-
pl. IL Is book that will interest
those who are seeking homes in Mis-
sissippj, setting forth as IL does the
advantages Of that state briefly yet
fully. Mississippi has not been as
great bidder for immigration as its
neighbors and has not put forth as
many papers, pamphlets, etc., show
ing why IL would be a good residence
for people from the north and VEST
who are seeking homes IN country
where the soil is prolific yet cheap,
and the climate more equable and less
severe than that ON the other side of
"the line" Mr.. Byrnes' book will
give the information the homo seeker
is looking for. II is thoroughly pra, :
tical.
1t gives the price Of land, varieties
of crop cultivated or for which the
land is suitable, average yield and
return of agriculture; the railroad,
shipping and market facilities; the
climate, absence of drouths, of ez-
treme hot or cold weather, and with
fewer crop failures Vhan anywhere IN
the world the school system of the
state. the constitution guaranteeing
every child good education, and
notionly guaranteeing 1t, but giving
it, and other matter likely to interest
immigrants. All the other indica -
tions are Of considerable movement
OF population into the south the COM
ing winter and spring, and with the
advantage Mississippi hold out to
settlers IL ought to get good share
Of this immigration.

THOUGHT HE HAD SOLD GELD
Hid II in a Pot and raded His Scrap
Iron TO q Jun Wan.

Hid II in a Pot and traded His Scrap
Iron TO Jun Wan.
A discovery so surprising and de-
lightful that it almost Overcame him
was made by Adam Benner when he
found his long missing $1,000 in gold coin
in the cellar of his home, in Philadel-
phia. Early in August Benner and his
wife determined in their old age never
again to entrust their worldly treasure
to banks, as they had lost considerable
money by the failure Of the Shacka-
maXon bank years before. They con-
cluded, consequently, to hide their cap
ital, some $780, in an iron pot among
some iron scrap in the cellar of their
home. Some time in October a man
came along who was buying old iron.
and, without giving the hidden gold
second thought they sold the cellar
scrap iron to him. practically for
song.
Next day they thought of their gold
and reported the supposed loss to Lieu
tenant futile Of the Eleventh district,
who, after a great hunt. traced the sold
scrap iron to a dealer The latter i'm
turn had sent it with other scrap to
Reading, where all traces of it were
lost.
Benner bore his loss as best he could
until yesterday. when, in a search UNI
der the cellar steps, the long lost gold
was found just where he himself had
put it in August, 1895.
With breathless haste he grabbed up
the coveted iron pot and sped around
the corner and into the Eleventh dis
trict station house, hugging his treas
ure to his breast
House Sergeant Kenny, who was on
duty, saw the almost paralyzed man
enter, and supposed some dreadful
thing had happened
Benner gasped out: "I have found it,"
and was about to tumble the gold out
on the desk, when the sergeant restrain
ed him.
AS soon as Benner had sufficiently re-
covered his senses, he requested Ser
geant Kenny to count the money over
for him. 1t PANIED out 1925 in shining
gold pieces and S4.15 in silver coin, which
was the exact amount that the old man
had hidden and for time lost track of.
Another mystery solved!' said the
meditative sergeant. as his visitor left
the room with his money in the old iron
pot

ony stamped upon his countenance

then he lay painting and powerless. his
arms tightly pinned down in the others

But for five long minutes, that SEEM

slowly relaxed and he felt himself free
again. With an oath, not loud but
deep, he squirmed out from under the
homemade mustard plaster and threw
it at his faithful spouse, who said qui-
city: Il think you are better, John. -

say that they do have a number Of well
recognized codes of communication.
one of the best known methods Of this
kind consists of a series of raps cor
responding to the Morse Geographic
code IL a prisoner understands teleg-
raphy he may transmit messages TO an
other prisoner who is also a telegra-
pher by rapping out the Morse code in
his cell, or in the workshop or mess
room, without very much fear of detec-
ton. OF course, the success of this plan
depends upon both men knowing the
Morse code; but a knowledge of teleg-
raphy is so common nowadays and so
very useful to the experienced crook
that many of them do know It.
In some Of the carelessly constructed
prisons it has been discovered that the
convicts have used the water pipes to
construct a series of speaking tubes,
and in several cases they have success
fully planned escape in this way.
The system by which prisoners COM
municate with friends on the outside is
also a mystery which prison officials
would be glad to fathom. In prison
parlance it is known as the under
ground" The convicts are allowed to
write home once a month, but each let
ter is first read by the prison chaplin.
If there is anything improper in it, the
letter is withheld. But the improper
letters never go out by way of the chap
lin. The underground system takes
care of them.
Criminals in Sing Sing have been
known to conduct series of successful
crimes by communicating with accom-
plices OH the outside. Bribing the I'M
der keepers would be one way, but the
system is too general to be worked in
that fashion. Escapes are always
planned and carried out through the
underground method.
What has been generally accepted as
a most extraordinary instance of this
sort occurred in $685. when Pallister
and Roehl made their escape from the
death house, where the guard is most
strict. These two condemned men had
received no special favors from the pris-
on management. They were con-
stantly under observation, and they
were in that part of the prison where
the watch is most strict They were
carefully searched, and, so far as the
guards knew, they held no communica-
ton with any but those permitted by
the prison regulations.
One stormy night they made their es-
cape, and it was sensational. and, so
far as the prison authorities went, it
was success. Two bodies were found
in the Hudson river some days later,
and they were identified as the bodies
of Pallister and Roehl. In the opinion
of men who knew something about the
prison their escape was the result of a
prearranged plan, and it included not
only the two most conspicuous actors in
it, but their friends outside the prison.
All the circumstances pointed to out
side aid, and, in order that such as
sistance might be effective Pallister
and Roehl must have communicated
their plans to the men who assisted
them.
No clue has ever been discovered as
to how this was done. This is only one
instance of many where underground
letters have done their work. The fac
ulty of communication is of the most
value to the convict and the greatest
worry to the guards in planning es-
capeS.
