MANY IMPORTANT
APPOINTMENTS
tiary Superintendent And Two
ChancelIors in Next Few Days.

Jackson Miss, Aug. Ex-Governor
Noel has three important appoint
ments to be made in the next few
superintendent of the state
penitentiary and chancellor in the
Third and Sixth districts. There are
several applicants for each of these
positions, and the selection of a sue
cessor to Superintendent H. C. Ney-
land and Chancellor Blount and Nc
Cool is giving the Governor considera-
BILE trouble.
Mr.. w. T. Marshall, of Neshoba
county and Representative ]. B.
Mitchell of Holmes county, are regard
ed as the leading applicants for su-
perintendent of the penitentiary, while
it is the general belief that Judge
McCool will be his own successor in
the Sixth Chancery district. He is
strongly endorsed by the attorneys
of his district for re-appointment,
while the county officers have all

about the strongest man in the DIS
trict.
Chancellor Blount may or may not
be re-appointed. There is more of a
contest for his place than for Chan
cellor McCoors, but each has strong
opposition, and some of their appo-
nents are highly endorsed and well
qualified for the position. Both are
able men and have made good chan
cellors. and the action of the Cover
nor in these appointments is being
watched with great deal of inter-
est.
Just when the Governor will make
these appointments can only be de-
termined by himself, but he stated
some time ago that he would dispose
of them the latter part of this month.

LONGEST FENCE
In The WORLD
And the Queerest Artificial Boundary
viii Soon Separate United States
and Mexico.
(By Associated Press.)


San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 23.-The
longest fence in the world and the
queerest boundary established be-
tween two countries anywhere, will
in the near future separate the United
States and Mexico. A final agree
ment to that effect has been drawn up
between the two governments and the
fence will be built in the very near
future. 1t will be constructed of
stout posts, possibly reinforced con-
crete, and five strand, steer-tight
barbed wire In all places where the
United States government owns the
land the fence will be set up 20 me-
ters or about 60 yards to the North of
the true boundary line and where the
ground is owned individually the
fence will stand on the exact border.
Mounted Mexican rurales will patrol
the fence on the South and United
States rangers will do the same on
the North,
The immediate purpose of the fence
is to prevent cattle from the two
countries from straying onto foreign
soil. 1t will also be useful in the pre-
vention of infectious diseases among
cattle, especially the tick. About
1000 miles of fence will have to be
erected.

VISITS HATTIESBURG

Hon. S. S. Hudson, Atty General for
the State of Mississippi, is in the city
today, shaking hands with his friends
and looking over the town. This ia
Mr.. Hudson's first visit to South Mis-
sissippi since this part of the state
began it's wonderful growth, and he
describes it as remarkable. He says
he has been observing the crops very
closely during his tour of South Mis-
sissippi, and that he believes this sec
ton has the brightest future of any
section of the state. Though a Delta
man, Mr.. Hudson did not hesitate to
admit that this is the best section Of
the state agriculturally. He says
that in corn there is no other section
that can compare to it, and that 1t
can grow just as good If not better
cotton than the delta.
If you want to have real good
laugh. ask Gen. Hudson to tell you
about the debate between Privatu

HARRISON LEADS FOR CONGRESS
A CLEVER TRICK
FAILED TO WORK
Negro Ordered Groceries over TeIe-
phone And Had Them Charged to
WeII-known White Citizen.

John Williams, a negro, was ar
raigned before Police Justice Davis
this morning on a charge of obtain
ing goods under false pretenses, and
was fined $4,000 and costs.
Williams, according to testimony
introduced at the trial, had concocted
clever scheme by which he hoped
to obtain supply of groceries, and
which came near proving successful.
Calling up the Moore Brothers Gro
cery Company over the telephone, he
represented himself to be Mr.. w. R.
Williams, of the Sanitary Plumbing
company, telling the groceryman to
send a bill of goods to John Williams
and charge them to his (Mr. w. R.
Williams) account.
The order was promptly filled and
sent to the negro's house. A short
while later the Moore Brothers had
occasion to send a messenger to Mr.
Williams office, who was instructed
to inquire whether Mr.. Williams haC
ordered the goods for the negro, ant
in this way it was discovered that thu
latter had impersonated Mr.. Williams
and ordered the groceries himself.

PROF. POWERS
TO SPEAK HERE.
State Superintendent Of Education
VIII Deliver Address at
Court House Tonight

Prof. J. N. Powers, state superin-
tendent of education, has accepted an
invitation to deliver an address at
Hattiesburg, and announcement has
been made that he will speak at the
court house in this city at 8 O'Clock
tonight.
Prof. Powers is well known in Hat
tiesburg, having visited this city at
various times in connection with his
duties as superintendent of education,
and has spoken here on several occa-
sions.
He is a fluent talker and is perhaps
better informed with regard to educa-
tional matters in Mississippi than any
other citizen of the state. His ad-
dress tonight will deal principally
with educational matters, especially
as they concern South Mississippi,
and it is hoped that large number
of people will go out and hear his
address tonight.
Prof. Powers is trustee of the
Mississippi Normal School, the new
state institution which Hattiesburg ia
making an effort to secure, and it is
thought that his visit to this city is
primarily for the purpose of con
ferring with local citizens on this
matter.

LODGE, No. III. A. F. L. A. NJ.
Your Committee, appointed to Mg-
gest and express fitting recognition OF
the gift to this Lodge by Right Wor-
thy Brother Peter George Woods Of
the Grand Master, Jewel, beg leave
to report as follows:
Some years ago the Grand Lodge
OF the State Of Missouri provided new
Jewels for its Grand Officers, and the
old Jewels we're given to its then
Grand Officers. Most Worsipful
Brother Charles C.. Woods, being at
the time Grand Master, received the
Grand Masters Jewel, it being the
jewel Of Office worn by Thomas F.
Riddick, the first Grand Master Of
Freemasons in this Grand Jurisdiction.
For period Of more than sixty years
this was the jewel Of Office with which
the several Grand Masters we're in.
vested.
As We look on this Jewel. and con-
template its use, We are constrained
TO review a period rich in Masonic
life and history, and to look back with
pride upon the life and character OF
the men who have worn it. Many OF
them served, not only the Craft, but
the State, and their fellows at large,
as we'll. Grand Master Riddick was
one OF the heroic pioneers Of the Ter
ritory OF Missouri, and man Of great
usefulness in both public and private
life. He was succeeded in Office by
a worthy successor, Nathaniel h.
Tucker, who wore this jewel for four
Years, and was succeeded in 1875 by
that distinguished lawyer and states
man, Edward Bates, the first attorney
general of the State Of Missouri, and
who, long afterwards, was attorney
general in the cabinet Of Presiden,
Lincoln. After four years OF service
Bates was succeed in the Grand Eas,

and Algebra are taught. For the
first three months of the mathematics
work in this grade, practical and

arrangement the congested condition
