STUDY OF TIMBER SUPPLY

Jackson, Miss, August 30.-(specia1)- l Messers k. F. Noel of Holmes county the l successful candidate for governor, and Earl Brewer of Coahoma, the defeated candidate for that office, were both in Jackson yesterday in attendance on the meeting of the state executive commit tee which was to canvass and announce the result of the primary on the 22nd of the month. It was found that 114S12 votes had been cast for governor, and that MT. Noel had 2,OO2 more than did Mr. Brewer. There was no intimaten of con test and no trouble on any score Mr. Brewer had announced his surrender sever al days since, and there was nothing for him to do but to acqulsce in the de- cision of the committee. Both gentle men and their friends returned to their homes last night. MT. Noel to prepare for the strenuous time his neighbors and friends have arranged for him at Lex ington on the 12th of next month and Mr. Brewer to resume the practice of law where he left off when he was elected district attorney. It is stated by friends of MT. Brewer that he had only three thousand dollars when he entered the race for governor, that he has mortgaged his home for more, and will have to begin again at the bottom. But he Is a man of ability, of great force and de- termination and he will not stay down long
 Delegates Named.
 Governor Vardaman has named the fol- lowing as delegates to attend the Ma tional Prison association meeting to be held In Chicago, September 14, viz c. C. Smith, chairman of the board of prison trustees; w. A. Montgomery of Hinds, trustee-elect for the middle district; Leroy Taylor, trustee-elect for the northern dis trict; oJhn w. Chambers of Laurel and Webb Brame of Jackson.
 The department of commerce and labor has sent John P Hollis and a corps of assistants to Mississippi to collect statis- tics relative to the timber resources of the state, and they have established head quarters in Jackson, where they will remain several weeks. There has never been any careful estimate of timber re- sources of Mississippi by state or nation, and in view of the fact that Mississippi comes second as a producer of yellow pine, and also ranks high in hardwood production. this information will be of considerable value.
 Good Business Ahead.
 Capt T. J. Jones. president of the Gulf and Ship Island railroad, spent the day in Jackson. being out on a tour of inspection and looking over the inn provement work that is being done. New steel rails are being laid all along the line. and new cross ties put in fast as they can be turned out by the creosote plant. Captain Jones says he will use no more cross ties that are not creo- soted, the --.lerence in the lasting quali- ties being more than sufficient to pay the additional cost.
 Captain Jones is confident that the rail- roads in this section of the country are going to have all they can do during the fall and winter, and Is getting ready fon 1t. He has increased his number of engines, flat and other cars, and proposes to be ready to handle all business that comes his way promptly. The lum- Der .etlls along his line and they are numerous. have all started up again, and q great quantity of lumber is being manu- factured a considerable amount of it for foreign export through Gulfport. wl>ere the largest ocean freighters are now taken care of and loaded.
 Bond Issue Goes Begging. 1 Buyers of municipal bonds are not run | ming over each other in their efforts | to secure blocks of the two hundred and l sixteen thousand issue ordered by the 1 city of Jackson some weeks ago, same l to be used in the purchase of the water works plant, and which were voted almost | unanimously. The bonds are per cent 1 semiannual coupon bonds. and in view l of the security offered would be a prime 1 investment under most any other con- 1 ditons of the money market When these 1 bonds were voted there was no apparent money stringency in New York else where If there had been 1t would have l been just as easy for dickson to vote l Az per cent bonds, even 5s. but now i that they are voted at f. they must remain. even if they must be sold at lit 1 tie below par.
 All a Mistake.
 The citizens of Jackson have been very much amused at the story printed of "swarms of locusts in the city" when the truth of the business is that there l is not locust in Hinds county save | of the ordinary cummer time variety that | is here every year. and never knew what it was to swarm except one at l a time They are noisy on hot sum mer afternoon. but do no damage, what ever
