| eral others will be ere long. In the ter
 are about 200 boys taking the course and
 boarding at the college. The number of local students Is not given, but is
 understood to be more than 800 at the
 ten schools, which is considered good
 and means that the schools are going to
 do a great work for the farmer boys
 and girls of the state.
 Rev R. A. N. Wilson, lecturer for
 the Farmers union and one of the most
 entertaining speakers in the state, was | in Jackson today en route to his home
 in North Mississippi after a tour of
 Greene county, during which he made fourteen addresses and visited every
 union in that section, urging them to
 stand together on their demands for bet
 ter prices and encouraging them to bet | ter methods of farming.
 | MT. Wilson states that he found new breed of hogs down in Greene. He had | supposed that the razorback grew to l perfection there, but found quite an inn
 provement on that old-time favorite, whose claim to popularity has always
 been due to his ability to ''outrun a nig- ger" He was told that a 3-year-old hog | of this breed has been known to tip the beam at 125 pounds. They are called | Three Founders" because of their fleet
 ness of foot being gone clear out or
 sight in three bounds over the under
 brush, and yet they did not seem built for running being rather short of body,
 but long on head and so, keen of snout that they can root up three rows of potatoes from the outside of the field by sticking their head through crack. The young are curiosities and when MT. Wilson saw a brood of them scamper | under board he thought it a lot of
 young 'possums and wanted his compan- | ion to stop and catch them. He will be
 in Jackson during the state fair and will | take great pleasure in showing his new made South Mississippi friends who are | delegates to, the union convention 1S-
 months-old hogs weighing from 800 to
 500 pounds-or five times as much as one | of their Founders al years old Senator Percy's campaign manager MT. William Crump of Greenville, who is spending day or two in Jackson, states | that the senator spent yesterday in Tuni- | ca county, that on the morrow he will | be in Hattesburg In response to the ln- | vitation of a committee of citizens to | deliver a political or any other kind of address that he may desire to make. He | had heard of no change in the pro- gramme, and fearing one had been made | since this row over the invitation to | Bilbo by parties other than the commit | tee he had wired Hattiesburg to know | for certain if there had been any change | in the original programme and was ad- | vised that there had not been.
 | Senator Percy, having accepted an in-
 vtation to deliver political address at
 Hattiesburg, and supposing that the same | invitation had been made to MT. Alex | ander and Mir. Vardaman, would go to | Hattiesburg prepared to talk politics and | to meet his opponents in joint debate. He | had heard, of course, that MT. Vardaman l had declined the invitation to be in Hat | tiesburg on this occasion, and supposed | that friends of MT. Vardaman had in- | yited Blbo to be there as his represen- | tative.
 | In the event that MT Bilbo is put on | as one of the entertainers of this occa- | sion Senator Percy will not speak-that | is not from the same platform, having | served notice during the early days of the campaign at Meridian. that he had met him on terms of equality for the | last time.
 | Governor Noel is undecided what he Is | going to do about the Hattiesburg meet | ing. He will not participate if MT. Bilbo | is to be one of the speakers On the l 14th the governor is due to meet with | State Normal college trustees at Merid- | ian, and 1t is possible that he will not
 be able to spare two days from home, so that he may forego the Hattiesburg | trip whether MT. Bilbo is to be there | or not.
 | Governor Noel Is a great friend and
 advocate of the lakes-to-the-guf water
 way and has taken pleasure in naming delegates to the meeting of the association that Is to meet in St. Louis November
 25 and 26. as follows: J. D. Barkdull,
 Natchez; R. L. Bradshaw, Moss Point; | S. M Cox, Tchula; G. l.. Darden Nat | chez J. L. Gaddis Bolton; F. A. Green,
 Verona; R. H. Hit, Winona; o. l.. Mo | Kay, Meridian; B. l.. Simrall. Ball | Ground; T. L. Wainwright. Stonewall; A.. S. Yarbrough, Como; T. G. James, Swan Lake.
 | Speaking of this meeting Governor Noel says "The purpose is to lay plans for continuing the work for deep waterway | from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mex | leo. Such a waterway would make our
 whole western Mississippi front a most desirable location for all kinds of in dustrial enterprises. Coal and iron from | the lakes, and all other needed raw ma terial could be transported cheaply and
 rapidly The state of Illinois recently
 voted s2O. 100000 additional Ito the s5o.00o. =
 GOO already spent for work in that state | on this great waterway. Its value will
 be vastly multiplied with the opening of | the Panama canal, and nothing would | forward Mississppi's development more
