Mr.. Charles f. Harris is Introducing
into Jefferson county a breed of hoge
that promises to be especially valuable
III these years of mere or less prevalence
OF hog cholera. e, the " Mule Foot ~
hogs, SAID to be immune from hog chol-
era. Last Christmas he purchased a
pair of these hogs at cost of over { 90.
The female of the pair now has six full
bred pigs, all with solid hoofs like a mule,
from which; they take their name, and
jet black. A Duroch Jersey sow bred TO
the male of the pair has nine pigs just as
pretty as the others, jet black and with
solid hoofs. If it proves true that this
breed of hogs is immune from cholera ii
will be a great thing. and Mr., Harris
will deserve much credit for having in
troduced them luto Jefferson county.

OPPOSE SMITHS PARDON.
Determined That Clemency Shall Not B

Determined That Clemency Shall Not Be
Exeended to the Slayer of Laurent.
Jackson.-Counter petitions opposing
the granting of pardon to Charles X.
Smith, the former alfalfa King of Mis-
sissippi," now serving a life term in the
penitentiary for the murder of L. A.
Laurent, a Nashville travelling man, have
been placed in circulation.
Laurent was u member of the Mis-.
sissippi Travellers, and the United Com.
mercial Travellers. While neither OF
these organizations will act as a body,
individual members will circulate the
counter petition, secure signatures there
to, and present the document to Gov.
Noel when he fixes q date for hearing
the case.
The travelling men of the state are
determined to wage an aggressive fight
against c~lemency for Smith, contending
that there is neither reason nor excuse
for restoring him to liberty; that there
is no more truth in the plea that he is
insane than there was in the insanity
plea when offered in his defense during
the memorable trial at Columbus, the
jury putting nc credence whatever in the
plea.

MISSISSIPPI HAS FINE SHOW
A GREAT EXHIBIT IS BEING MADE
AT CHICAGO.
Display Is Attracting Much Attention
and Will Result in Many Settlers
Coming to State.

misunderstanding to a letter from
Secretary L. +. Davis, of the Mississippi
Land Development Association, who has
charge of the Mississippi booth at the
Land Show, now being held in Chicago,
the Mississippi exhibit is attracting a
large number of people and the men in
charge Of the booth are daily giving
away hundreds of advertising booklets
about the resources of this state.
Since the opening of the land show"
writes Mr.. Davis, the crowds that daily
visit the show are enormous, and the
officials of the land show predict that
this year they will have the largest at
tendance they have ever had since the
starting of this annual exhibition.
For nearly three months previous
to the opening of the land show |, ac.
companied by Mr., A. b, Afford, OF Gulf
port, toured the whole state and visited
all the fairs, large planters, commercial
organizations and business men OF the
StatV, WIN gave mc anu lHe dsSoClatAOu
all OF the assistance possible.
The result was that Mississippi, at
the opening day of the exposition, had
as fine an exhibit as any of the states
represented. This fact alone goes to
show that our state, if she spends the
energy and time and gets new blood
from the Northern and Western states,
will IN u few years equal all of her sis
ter states in production OF agricultural
products.
November 2s was Mississippi Day and
during the whole day thousands of peo-
pie from all parts of the country attend
ed the large lecture halls and listened to
speeches Oh the resources, both CONNER
cial and agricultural, of Mississippi,
which were delivered by some of The
largest planters in the state AID profes.
sors from the state agricultural colleges.
This day marked u new epoch in the
industry of Mississippi, for it is the first
time in its history that it has been ad.
vertised outside its own borders with as
great an exhibit as she has at this ex
position"

invading whites. Kama entered the
Tivoli, tall. lean, muscular. and fur
clad, the pick of his barbaric race and
barbaric still, mistaken and una
dashed by the jewellers that rioted
about him while Daylight gave his
orders.
