| The mahogany furniture scrap be-
tween Governor Marshall and the board
of trustees the Jacksonville reform.
atory has come to an end and the gov
ernor has dropped the matter. Just
how it has been dropped is not known,
but 1t came about at a conference be-
tween the governor and Major Peyton
superintendent of the reformatory
The trouble arose over the purchase
by the BOARD of trustees of mahogany
dining room set for the superintendent
dining room at the institution. The bill
showed that the board had paid $500
for the set. This enormous price for the
aristocratic furniture attracted much
attention. and Governor Marshall con-
cluded at once that the economy plat
form which he was elected had re-
ceived awful jolt. and that he must
look into the matter. So he did.
1t will be remembered that in his
campaign Governor Marshall preached
economy and true democracy and prom
ised that there would not be any ex-
travagances in the state government

who read of the purchase of a $500 ma
hogany set of dinning-room furniture

to pay for such an outfit. They were
pretty well pleased when they found

II is said that he argued with the gov
ernor and convin ced him that the pur-
chase was all right. At any rate, after
the interview it was given out that the
governor had decided to let the whole
matter drop. and Superintendent Peytor
will retain the $500 set of mahogany
