 Will Be Done

Harry W. Coffin is in Baltimore and w. E. Leake, one of the receivers of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, would not forecast yesterday whether a report of the company's ex- isting conditions would oe made to Judge Grubb in the United States court today or not
 The report of the receivers is.g ex- pected to indicate whether the plants of the company are to be operated, be- fginning Monday. Mir. Leake yesterday was engaged in the routine duty of finding out the conditions with a view of telling Judge Grubb whether the plants should be resumed provided money could be secured Tor the opera ttons. The official was unwilling to give out any information in that con- nection yesterday. MT. Coffin is ex- pected home from Baltimore ksoon.
 The properties have been closed down pending an examination by the two receivers. If after report to Judge Grubb financial arrangements can be made it Is said. the plants may be opened up. However 1t is said to be doubtful that the plants will be resumed at an early date. It is un- derstood that arrangements are being looked over which may eventually re- suit in the company's operations being resumed.
 In the meantime there is very little Ifaith placed in the constant rumor hhat Charles Schwab wishes to secure sthe properties. For personal reason he lcaused to be made several months ago a slight examination, but nothing further jwas done by the Bethelehem Steel plant president.

yackson, Miss, June 2s-(Special.)- There has been a big row on the state convict farm at Parchman, due to poli- tics very largely, and it is not believed the end is in sight Last fall during the cotton picking season the 150 white con victs were transferred on orders of Su- perintendent Gathings from the Rankin farm to Parchman, and placed in charge of Tom Dent, said to be one of the very best convict managers in the employ of the state. The men were kept under Dent for the reason that he was able to make them behave themselves. They had been petted and pampered on Rankin until they had an idea they were not expected to work, but Dent soon convinced them of their error.
 One of the trustees who had opposed the selection of pr. Gathings as super intendent by Governor Noel, began at once to protest against the removal of the convicts to Parchman, and has made things unpleasant for the superintendent and for the sergeant. The legislature was appealed to and that body passed a res- olution directing the superintendent to send the white men back to Rankin. Trustee Smith also secured the passage or an act adding two state officials to the board of trustees, two strong Vardaman- ites who would have voted with Smith to discharge .the superintendent or Dent, or anybody else but Governor Brewer, appreeiating the fact that the act was born of political prejudices. vetoed the bill.
 Superintendent Gathings declined to fol- low the suggestion of the legislature to return the white conviets to Rankin, but stated he would do so after a while-that is, when he got ready, and not under fire. The convicts were as we'll satisfied on Parchman as on Rankin, and their quar- ters were newer and decidedly better in every respect, but Dent made them work instead of permitting them to lie up in

Dent has three or four brothers who are very prominent lawyers of the state, and an interesting statement from them is looked for
 The federal government is rendering great assistance to those counties in Mis- sissippi that are trying to improve their public highways, and has sent some of it's best and most experienced men to this section. Recently T. J. Mullen, chief engi- neer of the United States road department, paid a visit to Scott county, consulting and advising with the local engineer He also inspected a gravel pit three miles out from Forest. and 1t is stated declared it of excellent road building quality. The extent of the deposit is understood to be sufficient to gravel all the roads in the county, and if on test it proves of the quality stated, will be used for that pur- pose. Because of the heavy freight charges gravel is an expensive road build ing material for those counties that can not boast a pit of it's own, and Scott is fortunate. Here in Hinds where large bond issues have been made, and others are to follow for building good highways, the gravel is a costly item of expense, eating up more money than any other in connection with the work.
