GOVERNOR PETITIONED TO

Jackson, March 30.-Governor Lon
gino has been petitioned to grant
pardon to Millie Ann Moore, q ne
gress serving life term In the peni-
tentiary for murder. She was con-
vlcted in the circuit court of Pamela
county in 1898 and has served about
five years, making model prisoner,
and it is understood that her appeal
for clemency will be endorsed by
several of the prison officials.
At present there are only twenty
eight females in the Mississippi pen
tentiary, and if there is an increase
of crime among the gentler sex of
the negro race it is not manifesting
itself on the penitentiary rolls, for
there has been no increase OF the
number of negresses In the institu-
ton for the past dozen years, the
number remaining about thirty

I suggested that it be left to the

he was not in favor of leaving it to

to leave 1t to Ortiz himself to say
which should make the race. He said
that the people of West Point and

West Point, March 2S, 1908.

West Point, March 2o, l9O3.
Hon. A. f. Fox:
My Dear Sir-My reply to your
open letter of March II, published in
the New Orlenas Picayune and other
papers, has been delayed by my en-
gagements in the state canvass. /
shall only answer your proposition to
submit the issues between us to a
special democratic primary election in
Olay county.
If it had not been for the facts of
my withdrawal from the congressional
race in your favor in 1896, and, if
your proposition had been made FIVE
months earlier it wonld have been
more plausible.
The paper you refer to as "a cir
cnlar distributed through the mails
over this state' is copy of my open
letter Of February II, 1908, which, as
you know, was published in the lead
ing papers circulated in the state.
In corroborration of my said letter
Of Februray17, 1908, give the follow
ing statement of Judge r. Q. Beckett.
STATEMNET OF JUDGE BECKETT.
West Point, March %, 1908.
In 1896 when Hon. A. F. Fox and
Judge Critz were rival candidates for
congress in the 4th district of Missis-
sippi, Fox told me that he was not
willing for them to run against each
other; that it was not of sufficient i'm
portance to him. to make such race

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March 3O.-The reports
from the county registrars who are
now touring their respective counties
with the registration books for the
purpose Of enrolling the names of per.
sons who are not now qualified eletcors
are to the effect that an unusually
large number of names are being en-
listed, which indicates that more than
ordinary interest is being manifested
in the various political fights. The
enrolment of new voters will be closed
about the first of May, and all persons
whose names are not on the books by
that time will be barred from partici-
pating in the democratic primaries
in August, as registration must be
made with four months of the pri-
mary date.
Thus far there has been no talk Of
| the meeting of the state executive COM
mittee to arrange the date for the
primaries, and it is not likely that
this subject will come up for discus
| sion before some time next month.
The personnel of the state committee
will be unchanged from that which
arranged for the last general primary.
1t is expected that Hon. J. H. Price.
member from the sixth district, who
was recently appointed to the supreme
bench, will tender his resignation. A
new committee will be elected by the
people this year. Hon. G. @. Miller
of Meridian is the chairman.
One fact that will tend to hold
down the new registration is the
large number Of persons who failed to
pay their poll tax this year, the num-
Der being larger than ever before in
the history of the state.

He said the Durango hatchery was

it has excellent spring water running
