 monster craps game was raided in Coats Bend yesterday by Sheriff Lis
 ter and a number of deputies Card and dice games were being run regularly
 on Sundays in this locality, but the sheriff was never able to get sufficient ly definite advance information to en-

Eleven ar rests were made at the time and four more were taken from the evening train that came to the city. These were men who lived in the city and there are said to be several others who live here and made practice or going ouc into the country and engaging in the games.

MAKING CHANGE IN
 HANDLING CONNECTS
Mississippi Finds That Rankin Farm Is Too Close to the Capital for
 Good Order

Jackson, Miss, December 23-(Special)- It is understood here that the manage ment of, the state penitentiary contem- plates radical change in the disposition of the white convicts. Since the establish ment of the farm system all the white convicts have been kept on the state farm in Rankin county, eight miles east of this city. The policy has been found dis astrous. There Is too much communica- ton with Jackson, too much passing and too much visiting, especially on Sunday. The men have been dissatisfied and many of them unruly. Escapes have been nu- merous and plots have been thick. The average white convict thinks great deal more about getting out than does the negro and needs more watching.
 few weeks ago about 100 white con- victs were transferred from the Rankin farm to the Parchman farm in SunfloWer county-the purpose of the change being explained on the ground that larger force was needed to pick out the cotton on the Parchman farm. Monday last anoth- CT bunch of 30 or 40 men were sent to Parchman, leaving only 12 on the Rankin farm-barely a sufficient number to do the milking and take care of the live stock.
 It Is now stated that Sergeant Mccoy has been directed to go to the convict farm at Oakley, this county, and transfer 30 or 40 negro prisoners to the Rankin farm. That looks like there is something in the rumor that the Rankin farm Is to be made a negro convict camp, and that the white convicts are to be assembled and cared for on the big farm in Sunfower county.
 Travelling Sergeant Boien left here this morning for Parchman with two white prisoners, and on Wednesday last Super intendent Gathings left here with quite a bunch, picking up James G. Bennett at Yagoo City on his way up, so that he is now on the Parchman farm.
