PEOPLE WILL SEE THROUGH HIM
Gov. Hughes Of New York, Who Was
Elected by Rockefeller and Nor
gan Money, Telling Western
People How to Vote.

The Republican campaign managers
have dispatched Gov Hughes of New
York to the west to tell the farmers
and workingmen how to vote. This is
the same Gov. Hughes who, according
to a sworn statement by. his cam
paign manager, was elected governor
of the state as the result Of contribu-
tions by the leading trust magnates in
the nation. The following is partial
list of contributors to Gov. Hughes:
J. Pierpont Morgan, Boss Of Wall
Levi P Morton, Trust Magnate 49,. 10000
John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil
Chauncey M. Depew, Railroad and ~
Standard Oil Senator ................ 5000
John w. Gates. Stock Gambler 80. 1000
William Nelson Cromwell, Harri-
whom Judge Taft selected for
membership. on the Republican
Financial, Advisory and EXecu-
tive Committee NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1000
Scores of other trust magnates, in
cluding Havemeyer, head of the Sugar
trust, Duke, head of the Tobacco trust,
and Arbucxle, of the Coffee trust, con-
tributed substantially towards Gov
Hughes election. The New York ex-
ecutive has engagements in practical
ly every western state. Whose inter-
ests do you suppose he has at heart?
Those of the farmers and wOrkingmen
in the west, whom he has never seen,
and whom he is going to tell how to
vote, or the trust magnates who made
possible his election and whose con-
tributiOns to his cause are matter of
official record in the state capitol at
Albany.

War on Peddlers.

War on PeddlerS.
Now that the cotton crop is being
marketed in this state, peddlers OF
every description have made their ap-
pearance, and reports from almost
every section of the state tell of arrests
having been made for peddling without
license. The merchants have deter
mined to minimize the selling of goods
by this method wherever possible, and
the state legislature has assisted them
in large measure by increasing the
privilege tax on such occupations.
Social Clubs Indicted.
Not only the Beavers, but the Owls,
Eagles, Eks and few other social or
ganizations are under indictment for
unlawful retailing. They were hunted
up by the members of the recently or
ganized Law and Order League, and
this league will figure as the chief
prosecutor at the trials.
State Cotton Sold.
The penitsntiary trustees report the
sale to William Aluy g. Co., of Boston,
OF lis bales Of the states cotton. The
cotton weighed $500 pounds, brought
-l0i centst and uetted &, ,19l.85.

Poultry at the Fair.

The fair association is arranging for
a more extensive poultry show than has
ever been seen in Mississippi. The in
quiry for space in this one department
for this years exposition seems to jus.
tify the management fully in the steps
taken to improve the poultry feature,
since the raising of poultry, both for
home use and for the market, has in
creased considerably.

Supreme Court Meets.

The regular October term of the
Mississippi supreme court convened
this week for what promises to be the
busiest session in the history of that
tribunal. While no cases of far-reach-
ing Importance are pending on the cal-
ender, the volume of litigation is much
larger than usual, and the three mem
bers of the bench, Justices Whitfield. :.
Calhoon and Mayes, will have to burn
considerable midnight oil in order to
keep up with their work. For several
years past the necessity for increasing
the supreme bench to five members
has been earnestly urged by the bar of
the state, but the legislature refuses to
submit a constitutional amendment on
the subject.

Construction of Depository Law.
In event Gov. Noel accepts the sug-
gestion of State Treasurer Edwards to
submit the new state depository law to
the supreme court for a ruling on it's
constitutionality, and for specific de-
cisiOn as to the legal right of the treas
urer to refuse to accept surety bonds
from banks attempting to qualify as
repositories, the question will be placed
before that tribunal on an agreed
