MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle Of the Important Happenings
Brood Mares.

The Prison Board Of Control will
make another departure, which, it is
believed, will prove profitable. Some
sixty or seventy brood mares are to
be purchased and placed on the two
places, along with number Of
jacks, and the State will go exclusive
ly into the embarrassing business.
The mule bill of the State each year
is quite an item, and the members
of the Board believe that they can
raise all the mules needed by the
State to replenish their stock. This
will be quite saving to the State,
as some forty or fifty mules year
are purchased to replenish those which
are worn out and unfit for work.
Mules can be raised in this State
which are just as good as those raised
in Missouri. The two places selected
for this experiment are ideal. There
is plenty Of range for the stock and
fine water all over the places. 1t is
estimated that mule can be raised
in this State for very little money,
and when grown will represent very
near all profit.

NO REDUCTION
CONTEMPLATED
THE PRESIDENTS POSITION ON
SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION
STATEMENT TO MR.. JONES
The Booker T. Washington Luncheon
I Was Entirely Misinterpreted, says
the President, in Abiding to the
Subject.

Il am opposed to any legislation
cutting down the representation of the
Electoral College, said President
Roosevelt to Judge Thomas G. Jones,
Ex-Governor of Alabama.
The Presidents declaration was
made in the most fat-footed manner
and its publication is expected to put
an end to all talk Of what is called
"Crumpacking the South"
President Roosevelt discussed the
whole Southern situation with Judge
Jones, and told him he was sorry that
the Southern people had misunder-
stood him. The Booker Washington
luncheon was alluded to, and the
President said that affair had been
entirely misinterpreted
Judge Jones told him that the mis-
Interpretation was so complete that
in many parts Of the South he was
believed to be in favor of amalga-
nation of the races, a misconception
which was shared by the negroes.
The President said, that such an idea
was preposterous.
The President intends to consult
Democrats in the South in regard to
appointments and other matters af-
fecting that region. His "referee"
system, as it is called there, is not
working as well as had been expected.

j. H. Mckay, cashier at the Ala

office in Jackson is apparently de-
faulter in the sum of three or four
hundred dollars. There is considera-
BILE mystery about the affair. The
officials Of the road say they cannot
understand what impelled the young
man to become defaulter. AS far
rs they know he had no extravagant
habits. He was not society or
club man, but lived quietly and un-
obtrusively and apparently he was
we'll within his income. When he
failed to show up for work the other
day it was thought that he was sick,
and not much attention was paid to
the matter; but the next day when
he did not show up an investigation
was made and it was found that he
was not in the city. His books were
then examined and the shortage dis
covered. The railroad will lose moth
