SHERIFF SUES FOR CONVICT.
Alleges That Man Convicted OF Muir
der Is Treated as Trusty.

J~ackson.-ln the supreme court AS
sistant Attorney General Mcdowell
presented an argument for the rein
statement Of the case ex rel K. IL.
Wray, sheriff Of Bolivar county, be-
ing a habeas corpus matter involving
the appeal of Charlie Jones from that
county from his conviction of the muir
der of T. d. Pace. another white man,
some two years ago. The case was
presented to the supreme court, re-
viewed by that tribunal and for rea-
sons assigned was reversed and re-
manded for a new trial.
Meanwhile, pending the appeal,
Jones had been hustled out of Bolivar
county for reasons deemed prudent,
and conveyed by Sheriff Wray to
Vicksburg, where he has been held
by Sheriff Kelly. 1t appears that the
authorities at Vicksburg have been
rather liberal in their treatment OF
Jones, and virtually have made a
trusty out of him, and this got to the
knowledge of the Bolivar authorities
who sued u writ of habeas corpus.
The assistant attorney general con-
tends that as the statute is positive on
the subject of denial of bail in such
cases as that which surrounds Jones,
it certainly does not contemplate that
the provisions can be stretched so as
to give to the man convicted Of a fell
ony so serious, virtually all the lib.
erty enjoyed by a man who is out on
bail, which it is commended Jones is
enjoying. Hence Sheriff Wray wants
him back in Bolivar, where he "a be
watched.

921 BALES COTTON BURN.
Warehouse at Magee consumed-Ori'
Gin of Fire Unknown.

Magee.-The Magee warehouse, to-
gether with 921 bales of cotton and
three box cars vas completely de-
stroyed by fire Saturday.
The building was owned by a local
stock company and was fully insured
The estimated value of the cotton
burned is $4,000, with possibly two
thirds insurance.
If the merchants could have gotten
cars as ordered the loss would not
have been so heavy, as it sometimes
takes two days to get cars.
Quite a lot of farmers had depos-
tied cotton in the warehouse, secured
tickets and carried them home, which
means a total loss for them. Others
had left tickets with their merchants
and secured receipts for them. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

The annual meeting of the Missis.

ton will be held at Starkville, on De-
cember Goth and 30th, and a program
for the event is now in course of prep
aration.
The live stock industry is rapidly
assuming new Importance In Missis-

Of dollars have been invested by farm
ers in standard breeds of hogs and
cattle for beef and dairy purposes,
and the farmers are going in for this
branch of agriculture with more earn
estness and determination than ever
before.
The willingness of a majority OF the
counties to rigidly enforce the quar-
antine laws in regions infested by the
cattle tick has also given a decided
impetus to the industry, and all inter-
ests are being united to put the live
stick and dairy business on a firm AMI
enduring basis.

Walkers Cooper Letter.

Walkers Copper Letter in SATURDAYS
Boston Commercial will say.-Copper
continues to strengthen. Lake is now IA
to 14k cents, and electrolytic is l3%4 TO l@fs
cents per pound. Sales of Lake nave
been made at 14ls cents, and of electroly-
tic at 1874 cents. One factor tnat mas
operated to stiffen prices this week is the
threatened suspension of operations by
the various Amalgamated and Butte
mines, which produces nearly 2ofo' of the
worlds copper, due to a disposition OF the
miners union to support the strikin" rail-
road switchmen who have already lost
their strike. Should the mines and smelt-
ers of Butte suspend operations for one
month it would undoubtedly result in an
advance in the price of copper to 10 cents
The consumption of copper goes on in
creasing steadily. Consumers are in a
much more hopeful frame of mind, and
are buying more freely than they have
at any time since last May and June.
There is every prospect that the copper
trade will enjoy a period of great pros
perity for period of at least three to
five years to come. Good judges of the
metal market are predicting that copper
will sell at Is cents before the first of
February. I believe that the average
price of this year will be very close to Is
cents, and ! shall not be surprised if 1t
is higher

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Jan. {. 1910
The wool market is dull The manu-
facturers are now getting ready to open
their samples of heavyweight fabrics and
ing more raw material and they probably
will not be for long time, as the open
ingS of the various lines extend over sew
eral weeks and the manufacturers will
not know much about their future needs
until the buyers have had a chance to
examine the offerings of the different
mills. A good business is expected, and
the wool dealers are encouraged to be-
lieve that the clothing woods, with which
they are rather well supplied, are going
to be needed in large quantities. Samples
of heavyweight overcoatingS nave al
ready been opened and the first orders.
especially of straight woolens, as dis
tinguished from other kinds requiring
several kinds of raw material, have been
decidedly satisfactory.
The American Wooden Co. early in the
season bought most of the Montana woods
that were owned by Boston Dealers but
the terms of the purchase called Tor
graded wool and much of the short-stapled
stock was left in the hands of the sellers
The stock of Oregon woods, both STAPLE
and clothing is large, as the unusually
heavy shrinkage of these woods this sea-
son made them unattractive to buyers.
Clothing fleece woods have not cleaned
at all well because other domestic clips
of similar type and foreign clips have
been much cheaper.
Little has been done in the west lately.

Who Will Be Real Boss
Of Boston Nationals?
Billy Murray Would Trade His
Contract for Players.
Giants Will Play First Game al
Home on April 9.

Boston, Mass, Jan. Who is going
to be the real boss of the Boston Ma
tional League ball team and chief die
tator of policy, John S. c. Dewey. presi-
dent, or John Harris, director? While
not a whisper has emanated from the
Harris, Dreyfuss or Dewey camps, the
possibiIity of there being man be-
rector Harris. a man thoroughly con-
versant with baseball has already
shown his intentions by showing active
interest indicates that he is to be the
real leader here the coming season.
The matter rests with Barney Drey-
fuss of the Pirates. Rarney's interest
in the welfare Of the Dewey boys has
always been strong. Dreyfuss is a
friend of Director Harris and knows
just how much baseball ability he has
in his system. President Dewey ad-
mits that he would rather handle the
business end of the club and leave the
picking of the players and arranging
or deals to some one else.
There are many indications pointing
to the probability of Harris being the
man behind the throne. He att anded
the league meeting at New YORK and
represented President DoVey al two
important conclaves. Since the meet
ing he has had several conferences
with Barney Dreyfuss and other base
ball men and has proposed two or
three deals.

DISCOVERY OF CURE.
Hoped That Hog Cholera Remedy Is
At Hand-Means Millions to People.

Columbia Mo, Jan. 1T is asserted
that the long fight against hog chole-
ra has been Won and if it has been it
means millions to the hog industry of
the United States. Texas has not been
troubled with the disease, but in other
states it has periodically swept entire
herds Out Of existence
The veterinary department of the ex-
pertinent station in this city has been
making tests and has met with excel
lent success with hypermnimized hog
cholera serum, which is produced on
the farm station under the supervision
and direction of the experiment sta
ton veterinarian, DR.. j. w. Conway.
He is the same man who worked out
such great results in eradicating Tex
as fever in cattle. The United States
government has taken notice of Dr.
Conveys latest discovery and has
been solicited by the Bureau of Animal
Industry to work in conjunction with
1t in his great work.
4 prominent Berkshire breeder,
Thomas Richards, of Nandalia, Mo,
had his herd inoculated with the Sc
rum after a violent attack of cholera,
and has this to say about the cure:
My experience has been that if hogs
are treated before being exposed to the
disease they may be exposed to any
amount of cholera afterwards and that
not over three per cent will die. | may
be over-enthusiastic about hog cholera
serum as prepared at the experiment
station. but after losing over thirty

the Missouri station serum) that has
since saved me ninety-five per cent. of
all hogs treated. either aged hogs or
little sucking pigs. I feel justified in
being enthusiastic"
In a later letter he writes: "Since
you were here in June all the hogs
treated have been well and hearty.
These hogs We're running on infected
pastures I have turned sixty head
more on infected pastures, inoculat-
ing before turning on, and have lost
but five per cent.
A well-known Poland breeded of
Jackson county says concerning the
hogs inocu!ated for him: None of the
hogs which were not off feed at the
time of incubation have been off feed
since. On the whole l am very much
pleased with the results of the inoc-
ulation." In the herd of Cass coun-
ty (MissourD breeder not enough Sc
rum was available to inoculate the
whole herd. so only part We're treat

were inoculated we have lost twelve
pigs bv cholera. but only one of them
was vaccinated Nine other vaccinat-
ed pigs running in the infected pens
