Go to the Penitentiary for
Perjury.

Israel Trotter, negro, got in very
bad in the city court this morning
when he swore on the witness stand
that Susie May, a negress, had stolen
his watch Tuesday night, and then
Mr.. Thornton, who conducts a pawn
brokerage business in this city. took
the stand and swore that Trotter in
person had pawned the watch to him
Tuesday night for SIS. Mr.. Thorn
ton had the watch in court and posi-.
lively identified Trotter as the negro
who had pawned 1t to him.
Paul B. Johnson, attorney for the
negress Susie May, asked that Trot-
ter be held on the charge of perjury,
which Judge Davis said would be
done.
Trotter was tried in the city court
yesterday on a charge of carrying
pistol, but as he denied the charge
so strenuously, and the police did not
find any weapon upon him when he
was arrested, Judge Davis suspended
Judgment in the case. However,
when Trotter swore a palpable lie
on the witness stand this morning.
Judge Davis found him guilty of the
charge of pistol toting and assessed
fine of $25 against him.
II had about concluded to dismiss
this pistol charge" remarked Judge
Davis, until the negro committed per.
jury this morning. If he swore a lie
about one thing he would do it about

Those at the State Penitentiary Are

Special to The News.
Jackson, Dec. 2.-Those of the pen
itentiary employees whose places are
appointive annually, are just now on
the anxious seat, so to speak, and
although there has been little talk
of opposition to any of the present in
cumbents of these places, and the

These appointments, while former

METZ IN IRELAND"
PLEASES AUDIENCE

AL H. Wilson, the Singing Ambas-
sador of German Dialect, and his COM
pany, pleased a large audience at the
Auditorium last night with Mr.. Will
sons new play, Metz in Ireland
The play itself is very simple in
plot and of hackneyed theme, but it
serves to entertain for the time being
and to introduce Mr.. Wilson in num-
Der of new songs, some very tuneful
and melodius and others not so much
so. AS usual, Mr. Wilson rendered all
of his songs we'll and the divertise-
ment in the third act, introducing re-
trains from his old favorites, was es-
pecially enjoyed.
Metz in Ireland" is very thin of
plot. 1t unfolds story of the lost
heir to an Irish estate coming back in
disguise and being installed as a
bogus heir by schemers who are try.
ing to get hold of the estate. These
schemers are duly taken aback and
chagrined when it develops that their
supposed bogus" heir is the real
thing.
Mr.. Wilson is supported by a fail
company.

SUED FOR $4,000
For Alleged Libel-Conven-
TONS Work.

Jackson, Dec. 2.-To-day's session
Of the Mississippi division Of the
Farmers Union was chiefly executive
in character, the open meeting last
ing but few minutes, after which
the doors we're closed and the dele
gates took up pending routine bust
ness. - r.
The only unusual feature of the pro-
ceedings thus far was serving of for
NAL notice yesterday on President
Hightower and members of the ex-
ecutive committee Of a suit for $685.
900 damages for alleged libel, insti-
tuted by Rev. G. B. Waller, a member
Of the PPrairie Line ocal who has
been engaged in a very acrimonious
dispute for, several months with the
divisional officers concerning the f.
nancial affairs of the organization.
This, however, was not surprise to
the officers, as it was known some
time ago that Mr.. Waller intended to
institute proceedings. The contro-
versy originated in a charge pre-
ferred by Mr.. Waller that President
Hightower had padded his expense
accounts. This brought forth a salty
reply from President Hightower,
through the columns of the official
organ, in which it was intimated that
Mr.. Waller was mentally unbalanced,
had not paid his dues for six months.
etc.
Indications this afternoon are that
President Hightower and majority
of the other officers and members OF
the executive committee will be re
elected, although there will be live
ly scrap when this matter is brought
up, which will be late this evening Of
Just before the adjournment to-mor

The convention will approve the
work Of the million dollar warehouse
corporation which has been foster
ing the cotton holding movement, and
has met with fair degree of success
