REMARKS NOT Confined ,
TO CORN CLUB MOVEMENT
But Covered a Wide Range of Sub a
jects in Which the People of Hat ~
tesburg Are Deeply Interested.--f 4
Splendid Address.

Mr.. W. H. Smith, organizer of the :
Boys Corn Clubs throughout Missis
sippi, spoke last night at the court q
house to more than hundred citizens
of Hattiesburg and the adjoining coun,
try. Not an overly large audiencek
but a highly representative one, an =
Mr.. Smiths remarks were given care a
full and thoughtful attention. MIRO
Smith is superintendent of education
in Holmes county and in this connec
ton has proven himself most useful
official, but his chief notoriety is be-'
cause of his connection with the corn
club movement.
Mr., Smith was introduced by Prof.
F. B. Woodley, who spoke most fat
teringly of his work and explained
that he was now touring the state in
the interest of Corn Clubs.
In his address Mr.. Smith said that
since his audience was composed to q
large extent of business men, he would
not confine himself to discussing corn
clubs, but would dwell mainly on the1
subject of education in the rural dis
tricts. This, he believes, is one OF
the most important questions now be-
fore the public. Before launching In
to his subject, however, he touched
upon his work with the corn clubs,
and said that more than twenty thou
sand boys were now members OF these
clubs throughout the state. Each
one of these boys, he thinks, will
make an average of sixty bushels OF
corn to the acre. Mississippi has in
corn this year 100000 acres. Mr..

when Walker took the platform. The

axe to grind, and would not be can

FROM STATE FARMS
1854 ConVicts Have Made Their Get
Away During Last Three Years,
While ii Were Recaptured.

Special to The Net0S.
Jackson, Miss. Aug. 17-There
have been 164 escapes from the sew
eral state farms during the years
1907-S-9 and up to July 25, this year.
OF these only Al have been recap
tured, according to the records in the
office of the secretary of the peniten-
tiary trustees.
This record dates from the time the
new system became effective, and of
the Al recaptured, 20 of them were
made in 1909, practically half of those
recaptured being taken in one year.
There has been something like 500 es-
capes in the last ten years, but re-
captures were more frequent than
that at present, and fewer criminals
escaped punishment.
Only a partial record of the farms
from which the convicts escaped has
been kept, and this record is rather
complete for only two years of the
time. This record shows more con.
victs have escaped from Rankin than
either of the other state farms, aud
this record does not include the seven
escapes from Rankin the last three
weeks. The record OF escapes and
recaptures by the month since Jan.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
Are VERY ACTIVE
Diligence of County Attorney Hail.,
Judge Davis and Constable Tucker
Will Relieve Circuit Court Of Large
Amount Of business.

So far as Forrest county is concern
ed, the creation of the office of county
attorney by the last legislature has
been a paying proposition to the state
and a great benefit in relieving the
circuit court of much business which
has heretofore crowded the criminal
dockets.
Besides appearing as prosecutor in
all cases tried in the justice courts,
County Attorney Hall is making dill
gent effort to ferret out all violations
of law, and the results of his work
have'been more satisfactory than was
at first believed to be possible.
During the past week not less than
nine persons have been arrested for
violating the prohibition laws, and in
each case which has been tried con-
viction has been secured. Constable
c. E. Tucker and Judge ]. e. Davis
are each doing a good part in break
ing up the liquor traf1c IN HattlesDurg
and if the pace already set shall be
maintained, it will be a question OF
only a short time until the blind tiger
is a thing of the past in this city.
Several alleged tigers who have al
ready been arrested and landed in jail
will be tried before Judge Davis next
week, and it is believed that the evi
dence secured against them by Attor
ney Hall and Constable Tucker will
result in a conviction in each instance
In trying all such cases Judge Davis
acts in the capacity of a justice of the
peace, thus relieving the circuit court
of large amount of this class Of
business.
