No More Offices.

The Neshoba county farmers have
sounded a note of warning against the
creation of any more offices by the
next legislature especially that of
commissioner of immigration, which
has been demanded in several quar-
tiers recently, and, in fact, for the
past several years. They do not want
Mississippi made the dumping ground
for the worthless scum of foreign ma
tions.' The Neshoba folks also COM
plain at having to make cotton in
competition with the state convicts,
and demand that the convicts be
worked on the public roads instead
of at raising cotton and corn. There
is not much danger that the state
will change its very excellent system
of caring for the convicts. They are
where they will make money for the
public now, and the farmers get just
as much benefit from the results OF
their labor as do any other class of
citizens. The convicts of Mississippi
are humanely treated and well cared
for, they are more than self-support
ing, and no change in the system will
be made.

Forty Days Without Food.

The average Southern farmer does
not feed his hogs any more than he
can help, but no effort has ever been
made to see if hog can live without
anything whatever to eat. However,
some of the hog owners may be in
ter-sced in the accidental test made
by the proprietors of Allisons Wells
recently. A large red SOW was missed
from the pasture on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER, and was searched for high
and low without success. On the
18th of October little negro helper
about the place was chasing chicken
for dinner, when the fowl ran under
an old clubhouse in the corner of the
pasture. There, fastened between two
low joists, was the red SOW. The
boy supposed she was dead, but re-
ported the find to the proprietor. The
floor was raised and the hog released
She was very plainly weak and
emaciated, but she finally ambled of

fore her. That hog had endured ant

JACKSON DOINGS
DOWN TO DATE

Jackson, Miss, October 21.-L. @.
C. Lamar, register of the federal land
Office here, states that the general
land office at Washington has recent
ly advised him that several hundred
acres of public lands have been
thrown back on the market and are
now subject to homestead entry. The
department has made new rule as
to proving claims, which requires IA
years residence on and occupancy
of said homestead lands before own
ership can be established. These
lands are all situated in the southern
partof the state, and some OF the
tracts are very valuable. A good deal
of land has been sold during the past
year, but because of the restoration
of the tracts above mentioned there
is about the same quantity subject to
homestead now as there was one year
ago-some fifty thousand acres in
Mississippi.

stafford Exoncratcd.

William Stafford, charged With
grand larceny, was exonerated by
Justice Cartwright yesterday after
the case had been held under advise
ment for Il day. Cartwright was ac-
cused by Robert H. String with hav-
ing stolen three burros, valued at
$3.50, which We're the property of
Charles McFadden, and which were
under Strings control.
The prosecution showed the title of
the animals to rest with McFadden,
and showed that the burros were ta-
ken by Stafford. The defense con-
tended that Stafford believed the an
imals to be his own property and de
clared that Stafford had no intention
of misappropriating them.
Justice Cartwright held that as no
criminal intent had been proved the
defendant should not be held to the
grand jury to answer the charge and
he was accordingly discharged, the
case being dismissed by order of the
court.
