CORK LEG WAS BANK.
Depository OF Penitentiary Con-
vlCtS Discovered at Last.

For ten years the cork leg of
Charles Knifely, a convict in the
Kentucky penitentiary, was the
depository, or safety vault, for the
money and treasures of the con-
victs. Warden E. f. Mudd dis
covered this vault only a few days
ago, and since then the circulation
of money within the prison walls
has decreased to nothing. Previ-
ously there was plenty of money in
circulation. This money was used
principally in the crap and card
games that can not be stopped.
When Warden Mudd took charge
he found great deal of money in
circulation. He ordered the pris-
oners searched and would find
money in their pockets, and in a
short time there would be more
money in their pockets. He final
ly issued an order that every arti-
Gle in possession of the convicts
must be searched, even down to
the cork legs and crutch handles.
When the cell of Knifely was en-
tered he was told to turn over his
cork leg for search, and in it was
found several hundred dollars in
bills and coins and other valuables.
He had found the depository. for
the convicts' money. Convicts
smuggle contraband, such as dope,
saws, dynamite, poison. Newspa-
pers are the chief medium of SNUG
Cling dope, The dope would be
smeared over a page and another
page pasted over it.
He found that dope was being
struggled into the prison in tomato
ana peach cans, Which we've SOL
dered up after some tomatoes and
peaches had been taken out, and
bottles of dope put into them.
Warden Mudd has stopped the
newspapers coming into the peni-
Tertiary, except the weekly paper
from the home of the convict. He
had to do this to prevent the con-
victs from communicating with
their pals. How they did it he
does not. know, but he is confident
that such a correspondence takes
place.
The handling of the prison cor
respondence is a problem. There
are 1850 convicts who want to
write letter every night, and re-
ceive one or two every day. Each
letter going out has to be read,
and each letter coming in must be
read.
Warden Mudd says that the
adoption of the grey suits from
that of the stripes has worked
wonders in the prison, They all
want to get in the grey suit. The
men will be graded by caps. The
highest grade will wear the navy
blue cap, the next best men the
grey cap, and the lowest grade
the stripes. Only men wearing
the navy blue cap will be paroled.

EDITOR PERRY
Takes In the Seattle Exposition
and Tells Ms Readers About II.

Sun-Sentinel extracts from letter
written by its editor, X. K. Perry,
who is on trip to the Seattle,
Washington, Exposition:
We joined the editorial special
at Spokane, on the 18th. This is
thriving city of about one hun
dred thousand population. Many
courtesies were extended us at
Spokane.
We arrived at Seattle late Sun
day. Seattle is a wonder, wien a
bill is in the way of progress they
take it away. There are more
good buildings going up than l
have seen in any other city.
During the last decade Seattle
has enjoyed a phenomenal increase
in population and wealth, which
has placed it among the leading
cities of the land. Endowed as it
is with a situation of immense
strategic importance as regards
the commerce of the Pacific, ia
vored by nature with a mild and
equable climate, and located in
the heart of region rich in I'M
developed resources, who can say
but that the period of the city's
greatest growth is yet to come!
The Exposition is all that is
claimed for it, upon the whole it
is the most satisfactory of any
that lave attended. 1t is not so
large as Chicago or St. Louis and
is more compact. The fact that
the exhibits represent compare
lively new and undeveloped coun-
try, gives it more than ordinary
interest.
The Alaska Building attracts
more visitors than any other.
There is panorama of charac-
teristic Alaska scenery covering
1000 square feet. One of the
most interesting exhibits is the
Mineral division. The progress
made in mining is fully illustrated.
A reproduction of Cordova and
the Copper River Valley, showing
the Copper River and Northwest
ern Railroad running up the
valley.
A reproduction of the Pacific
Coast Gypsum Mine, illustrating
the mining of GYPSUM.
A reproduction of the Porcu-
pine Hydraulic Mine. The ma
chinery of this exhibit was fur
nished by the Hydraulic Supply
Co., Of Seattle. The booth Illus
trates the method of using water
under high-pressure in mining
In the mineral exhibit proper is
displayed the ores and other min
eral products from hundreds of
mines. Gold dust, nuggets and
bricks of the value of one million
dollars in a specially constructed
case.

of the machine is its having such
variation of capacity without
tearing or destroying the fish.
FURs.
In the Alaska Building can be
seen a full representation of all the
fur animals of the North. The
furs will be shown both in their

AGRICULTURE.
la the Alaska Building may also
be seen the most complete exhibit

cultural line that has ever been
brought from the North. There
are grains and grasses from the
Yukon Valley, within two degrees
of the Arctic Circle; wheat, oats
and barley both in the head and il
the grain; timothy and red top and
clover. The vegetables are much
like those in other states.
Alaska Arts embracing oil paint
ings, water colors, crayon, china
paintings, wood carving, etc, by
both white and native women.

PARTY SPLIT
 IN LOWNDES Many Candidates For
 One Office. HNs0N MAY GET J0b Conner Men Will Be Dissatisfied at
 Result. Tax Collectors Job is Plum After Which Many Strong Men Reach. Disappointment to Some May Have Future Results.

Reorganization in the Conner ranks In Lowndes County. unless the Govern or torestails the spiit by the appoint ment ot generally satisfactory .darK horse" to the Tax CoiiecIorship, was forecasted by Lowndes County citizens in Montgomery yesterday. A multitude of candidates. the majority of whom are Conner men. professedIy, compI- oates the situation.
 It is believed that the Governor will i'll the vacancy in the office of the Tax Collector before his departure from Montgomery Wednesday,. The most im- yntnent prospect is that he will appoint State Senator Evans Hinson. who was one of his staunchest supporters in the Sepate during the late extra session of the Legislature.
 Equally strong aspirants are endors- ed by Lowndes County citizens. ana one. 1t Is stated. has the endorsement Of Senator Hinson himself, and the added virtue of having been a Conner adherent since the Governors advent ct the Capitol.
 An interesting political situation has arisen. and 1t is likely that the appoint ment. however 1t results. will have an effect on the constitutional prohibition election in Lowndes.
 Emmet scarborough. of Mount will- Ing. has been backed. so Lowndes men declare. by Hinson. and Is a Go. 1 mer man himself. J. W. Dickson. of Letohatchie. Is another aspirant with g powerful following. R. J. Carr. Of Fort Deposit. and J.. W. Austell. Of Hayneville. are others who look to the position as their own, the gossip goes and none of them but who has fol- lowing.
 It Is not known whether Senator Hin son, who is one of the leading attor neys of the county. will see fit to fore go his professional practice for the DO. sition. but rumor picks him as the probable appointee Of the Governor, de- spite the heavy running field.
