Meeting Postponed.

The annual meeting of the
board of trustees of the Indus
trial Institute and College, which
was to have been held last Mon
day, was indefinitely postponed
on account of the death of Mrs.
Vardaman, the venerable mother
of Gov. Vardaman. which occur
red at Jackson last Saturday.
AS soon as President Kincannon
learned of Mrs. Vardaman S
deauh he sent out letters to the
mem bers of the board notifying
them of the postponement of the
meeting. Some of the mem bers
of the board, however, failed to
receive the notices sent them,
and State Superintendent of
Education Whitfield, who by vir-
tue of his office is member of
the board, came to the city Mon
day for the purpose of attending
the meeting. When he found
that no meeting was to be held
he returned to his home in Jack
son. having left for that city
Monday afternoon.
Heretofore it has been the Gus
tome of the board of trustees of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege to hold their annual meet
ings in June of each year, but
fl flowing the custom of other
colleges they have decided to
hold them earlier in the spring
hereafter. By this method the
work of the closing session can
be discussed and plans for the
ensuing year formulated. Sup
Elementary meetings will also be
held at the end of each session,
at which time all unfinished bust
ness which has accumulated dur
ing the session will be disposed
of.

Petition in Behalf OF Wash Hughes.

Hon. w. 2. Stribbling, attorney
for Wash Hughes, who stands
convicted of murder and under
the death sentence which has
been affirmed by the Supreme
Court, is circulating a petition to
the Governor asking a commute
ton of the sentence to life i'm
prisonment. The petition is be-
ing generally signed and it will
go before the States chief exec
utive with the names of large
mum Der of the best people in this
city and county attached to it.
There are mitigating circum-
stances in Hughes case. He kill
ed a man who had taken his wife
from him and only after his as
sailant had threatened him and
assaulted him viciously. The
opinion is often heard upon the
streets that if Hughes had been
white man he would never have
been arrested. The facts of the
case appeal to everyone and it
would not be surprising in view
of the representation set forth in
the appeal to the Governor for
the death sentence to be removed
that Hughes will be sent to the
penitentiary for life.

STAGE AND PLATFORM
The Frank Dudley Company.


The Frank Dudley Company
opened weeks engagement at
the Columbus Theatre last Mon
day night, presenting on that oc-
casion THE Tradesman. " The
company appeared here earlier
in the season, at which time The
Tradesman," was given as the
opening bill, so that review of
the play at this time is unneces-
sary. Mr.. Dudley appeared as
Vincent Willoughbey. andwas re-
ceived in a most cordial manner.
He made a splendid impression
when he appeared here last De
Gem Der and his work has i'm
proved since that time. He is
easily one of the best actors that
ever appeared here with a roper
toire organization and is vastly
superior to some that have ap-
peared here at the head of high
priced companies. The company
supporting Mr.. Dudley is prac-
tically the same that was with
him when he was here in Decem-
Der. Mr.. B. j. Bluthin appear
ed as Tobias Craig, and enacted
the part in the same splendid
manner which charac terized his
representation of the role when
the play was first seen here.
Frank Tobin still has the juvenile
role of Ralph Everett, and plays
it IN his usual dashing manner
Miss Cora Belle Bonnie, who in
private life is Mrs. Frank Dud-
ley, appeared to advantage as
Minnie Willoughbey. and Miss
Helen Aubrey played Helen
Willoughbey in her usual pains
taking manner.
The company will appear here
throughout the remainder of the
week, playing a matinee this
afternoon and again on Satur-
day.

Congregational Meeting.

There was a congregational
meeting of the mem bers of st.
Paul's Episcopal church at eleven
o'clock last Sunday morning.
The meeting, which was held for
the purpose of taking steps to-
ward calling a rector to succeed
Rev. Robert w. Barnwell, who
recently resigned. was well at
tended and harmonious through
out. The question Of calling a
rector was fully discussed, and
it was decided to leave the mat
ter in the hands of the yestry-
men and wardens of the chuach.
Several of the gentlemen COM
posing these two bodies are alb
sent from the city and no defin-
ate action will be taken until they
return.
One OF the prominent officers
of the church was seen by a DIS
PATCH reporter Monday, and
when asked if the church had
any particular man in view stated
that such was not the case. He
said that several names were be.
ing considered and he thought
hat the policy of the church
officials would be to issue a call
just as soon as suitable man
could be decided upon who would
be likely to accept the call.

Cured Consumption.

Mrs. b. w. Evans, Clearwater,

for three months. The doctors said
he had quick consumption. We pro-
cured a bottle of Ballard 5 Horehound

six years ago and since then we have
always kept a bottle in the house. We
