FRANKLIN CO. TROUBLES
Not Likely That Special Term OF
Circuit Court Will Be Held.

Present indications are that there
will not be a special term OF circuit
court in Wilkinson county for the
purpose of making an investigation
Of the recent outbreak of the New
man Pritchard feud, and Furnishing
the participants therein.
Judge Wilkinson has not reached
a definite decision in the matter, but,
from prominent citizens of Franklin
county. it is learned that the Off
cials are strongly OF the opinion that
the judicial authorities should give
the bitter feeling engendered be
tween the factions time to die out
believing that arrangements can be
made that will assure no further
hostilities.
Perfect peace and order now pre-
walls in Franklin county and while
it will of course be necessary tc
have a legal investigation of the
feud, and. if possible, FIX the respon
sibility. a special court term wouls
not at this time improve tthe situa
ton in the least
The next regular court term fo
Franklin county will be convened OF
the first Monday i'll November, ant
by that time it is believed that one
and probably both of the feud fac
tons. will perfect arrangements t
move out OF the county.

SURE TO HANG.
Will Mack Will Pay Penalty On
The Gailows.

There has been good deal of
talk and newspaper speculation as
to whether or not Will Mack. the
Rankin county rapist- sentenced to
be hanged before the end OF this
month al Brandon, will appeal his
case 70 the Supreme court and thus
delay the execution a few months.
In view OF the fact that no motion
for a new trial was made before the
Rankin county court. it is ridiculous
to tall. about IN appeal. Is none cal

FOR GOVERNOR.
List of Possible Candidates Con-
tinues to Increase.

The latest suggested entry for Mis-
sissippi's next gubernatorial race is
Hon. G.. D. Stands, former lieuten-
ant-governor of the state, and who
for the past several yeaers has been
connected with the faculty of the
law department at Tulane Univer-
sity.
1t is understood that Gov. Stands
intends to retire from active educa-
tional work, and he has thousands
of friends throughout the state who
would like to see him wind up his
public career as an occupant OF the
gubernatorial chair. As to his
eminent fitness for the place there
can be no grounds for debate, but
there are serious doubts whether he
could be induced to become candi-
date. Three years ago a very de-
termined but unsuccessful effort was
made by friends to induce him to
become a candidate for United Sta
ties senator.
The suggested candidacy of Hon
w D. Houston, of Aberdeen, has
brought forth many complimentary
references and endoTsefllents, but
it is also very doubtful as to wheth-
er Judge Houston seriously enter
tains such an ambition. All in all
the gubernatorial situation has been
unchanged since the first month oi
the present administration. Mess
rs Chas. Scott and Earle Brewer are
certain entries, with Hon. G.. r
Hightower as strong possibility.
