 The man largely responsible for the great number of individual contribu. tors is Col. Robert Ewing, of New Orleans. As a member of Governor Wilson's executive committee, Col. Ewing before the campaign opened declared it would be possible to have 1GO,0 persons contribute to a pop. ular fund for use in paying the Iegit- innate expenses. His enthusiasm brought forth only smiles. and he was told that he was too optimistic. However. he was placed In charge of the press contribution bureau and told to go the limit.
 Immediately he enlisted the ser vices of some 3.2GO democratic news papers, daily and weekly. large and small, in the work of collecting a popular campaign fund. The success of his plan is atttested by the 9I 900 contributors and the fact that the democratic national committee has on hand a fund which will go a long way toward maintaining a permanent establishment for the national com mittee ~
 Treasurer Rolla Wells has enrolled the name of every subscriber to the fund in a great book in his office. This book. which weighs upward of 300 pounds. not only contains the name of each contributor. but bis ad. dress and the amount contributed by him as well. Four years hence, the managers say. it will furnish a val table basis upon which the democrat ic finance committee may begin its work for funds.

Jackson, Miss, November 1S.--(Speeial.) Governor Brewer has received telephone messages from the Agricultural and Me chanical campus advising him that there are now more than 400 boys in attendance and that others are coming in on every train. President Hightower gives it as his opinion he will have 800 or 900 before the end of another week, and by which time the machinery of the big school will be running smoothly once more.
 The hosts of disciples of John the Bap- tist who assembled in Jackson during the latter part of the week have taken their departure, but the followers of General Booths Salvation Army are still here, and some of their more noted leaders occupied the pulpits of the city. most of them speaking to good audiences, and being cor lily welcomed to Mississippi's capital.
 F. w. Collins, deputy United States marshal, left Jackson last night for Att lanta, having in custody bunch of pris- oners sentenced to the federal prison there. They were Ed Moore of Picayune three years for peonage; I. L. Tucker Rankin county, robbing the malls, one year; Louis Johnson and Oscar Williams, negroes, convicted at Biloxi on the charge of robbing the postoffice at Vidalia, Miss four years each.
 Judge Henrys fall term of criminal court convenes here tomorrow, with a docket carrying about 16O cases, three of which are white men charged with mur- der and which will take up at least one of the five weeks of the term.

 This seemed to be the general view of the other delegates in attendance.
 It was contended that any tax arbi- trarily put upon water power by the federal government would ultimately come out of the pockets of the people. and, therefore, 1t would amount to direct taxation upon the consumers.
 Captain Lay further insisted that Ala balna was in every way competent to look after her own internal affairs and resented any movement on the part of the government to interfere with state rights. He declared that if the government in- sisted upon carrying out its proposed policy toward water powers, that it would greatly hamper and retaTd industrial de velopment along these lines. as well as navigation
