GOVERNOR NOEL
 DEFENDS HARDY
PRESIDENT OF A. & M. COLLEGE
 OF MISSISSIPPI IS ExONERATED
 OF CHARGE OF SELLING CAT TILE AFFECTED WITH DISEASE.

Jackson, Miss, August 6.-(Special)- Governor Noel has given out a lengthy statement of the feature of the investiga- tions into the affairs of the A. and M. college pertaining to the sale of alleged tuberculosis milch cows to a New Or leans man, and about which a great to- do is being made nearly two years after the sale was made. According to this statement and the testimony adduced on the trial of the case by the board of trus- tees, President Hardy made no effort to conceal the fact that the cows had re- sponded to the tuberculosis tests, and sold them with the understanding that they were diseased cattle, and that they were not to be returned to the state of Mis- sssippi. The buyer came to the college and the sale was made there. The A and M. college is not liable for their shipment to New Orleans, as its officers had noth- ing to do with the cattle after they were sold In the event the United States grand jury should take up the matter, as threatened the purchaser of the cattle will be the victim, as he is the party who has violated the law, if there has been any violation.
 From the mass of testimony given during the investigation it appears that President Hardy has acted openly and above board throughout. There was no deception. The cattle were sold to a man who was fully aware of their condi- tion. They were dry cattle, not milch cows, at the time of the sale, and were shipped out of the state by the purchaser. Besides. President Hardy had precedents for the sale of tuberculosis cattle For mer President Stephen D. Lee had sold such cattle in the same way, and to parties who did not take them out of the state, but used them for breeding purposes in Holmes and other counties for several years after they had been declared afflicted with tuberculosis.
 In the meantime, President Hardy has been upheld by the board of trustees in all of the investigations that have been made, six in all, four by the trustees, one by the war department and one by the legislature, and so soon as this little tempest in a teapot blows over the col lege will be on a firmer foundation than ever. and the attendance will continue to increase as during the 10 years of Hardys incumboncy of the presidency.

GEORGE HATFIELD PROVES NOT GUILTY Leakage of Teachers Questions
 Still a Mystery MAYFIELD PROVES ALIBI Express Agent Was In Mississippi-lt Is Rumored That Charge Was
 Trumped Up To Shield the
 Real CuIprit
HATFIELD PROVES ALIBI

Selma, August 7.-(Special.) )-The effort of the state to place the blame for the leakage in the teachers examination de- pertinent fell to the ground here today in the preliminary trial of the young express messenger, George Mayfield, and a num- Der of negroes.
 The offense was alleged to have been committed on the night of June Is, the state alleging that a package of examina- tion questions were opened at the express office, and after being copied sealed up again. The crime was laid primarily upon young Mayfield. The latter proved conclu- sively to the satisfaction of the solicitor that he was in Meridian at the time the alleged leakage occurred.
 The records of the express company and the railroad company showed young Mayfield to have left Selma the morning of June Is and returned the afternoon of the 17th.
 The package for Dallas countys super intendent came here on the night of June Is. and was delivered the next morning, so the young man was proven not to have had anything whatever to do with the leakage. lli
 The negroes connected with the leakage. one McCord and J. A. Walker, the latter the express wagon driver, and also a negro by the name of Smith, were all discharged Walkers latest story was that he alone had opened the package and that young Mayfield had nothing to do with it. It was upon the negro drlv- CTS testimony that Mayfield was first ar rested.
 There is a theory being pretty well noised abroad here that the negro drivers S ta.a was invented by some persons away from Selma, and that he Is being paid not a small figure to throw the blame away from the real culprits.

Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York, August 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Encouraging reports of commercial con- ditions outnumber adverse statements, and in almost every instance earlier gains are fully maintained, and while the growth of confidence is evidenced by in- creased propositions for full trade and a revival of structural work. Retail trade is reasonably quiet, but wholesale and job ping markets are responding to the usual attendance of outside buyers, while the big cotton goods auction sale had no de- moralzing effect on prices. Scarcity of hides holds prices at very high position and leather is also relatively much strong CT than other materials of manufacture which retards business in footwear. Mer- cantile collections are irregular, but money is abundant and cheap, and prices of securities establish new high records for the year almost daily.
 More interest is shown in the iron and steel markets than at any earlier date this year, although there is not much buying.
 Prices are unchanged, but some furnace and foundry interests will take no more orders without an advance. Domestic roads have begun to buy rails, but most new contracts in this department are for export
 Results at the first big auction sale of dry goods were most satisfactory rela- lively high prices being realized, so that the situation is not unsettled by quota tions as many feared Regular business in the primary markets, however. is re- stricted by the fact that buyers antici- pate a large cotton crop and lower prices for goods, whereas the mills are of little or no profit on the present basis and several additional factories at the south curtailed output still further. Export de- mand is light, prices being above the views of foreign buyers As to woolens, most interest is shown in the higher grades of mems wear, which were the latest to be opened
 Confidence is shown by some mills that are purchasing raw wool freely, helping to prevent accumulation of stocks in eastern markets as the new clip comes forward.
 Footwear manufacturers in New Eng land report that jobbers continue to pur- chase conservatively, placing only con- tracts for immediate needs.

Cotton Baegina Too Costly.

Jackson, Miss, August 7.-(Special.)- )- The trustees of the Mississippi peniten- tiary have decided that they will not use cotton bagging to wrap their 5000 or 6OO0 bales of cotton this year, as has been urged by the farmers union. In stead. the trustees have invited bids on 27,0O0 yards of burlap and 1000 yards of jute bagging. The cotton bagging was found too expensive and the difference between the jute and cotton too great.
