ARRAH ron GOD SUPPLIES FOR
eIATE PRISONERS.
~PsnileHtia-y Bosrd Held Busy Session
eoutta9inE for flour, Coffee, Rice
snd Sugar foI State convicts.

Jaekso The Mi sissippi Penitentiary
board as trustees held a busy session
closing contracts for -four, sugar, coffee
and other food supplies for the coming
year.
The board passed an order requiring
that the cotton on the Parchman farm
be sampled, and that the samples De
kept In the sample rooms for the in
speetion of all buyers. Before it has
been the custom to allow agents from
the different cotton buyers to take
samples from the cotton and carry 1t 60
their Offices in New Orleans and other
places. Those agents who were success"
full in securing samples had an advantages
over those who could not get smples
and necessarily an injustice was WORKED
OH some of the buyers. Besides the In
justice of this method. there was no
small loss from the cotton that was
taken away from che farms as samples,
this amounting to a great deal in a year.
Only one sample will be taken from the
cotton in the future and it will be open
to the inspection of all bidders.
Secretary Yerger stated that the board
had not received any bid for oats and
that he does not know where he will be
able to secure for seed some 200 bush
els Of Apple oats and about 600 bush
els of Texas Red Rust Proof oats.

BREWER RETURNS
FROM TRIP ABROAD
LOOKED AFTER OLD BOND ISSUE
AND LAND DEAL.
OINEO WITH LORD MAYOR
Says Mississippi Can Get Better Credit
If Regulated Bond Issue Is Wiped
Of-Welcomes English Capital.

Jackson. Hale and hearty after four
weeks relief from state duties, Gov.
Earl Brewer of Mississippi returned to
Jackson Monday.
The governor slipped quietly away
from Jackson some weeks ago. No fam
fare of trumpets or bulletin boards an
nounced his departure. In fact, it was
several days before even his friends
learned that his destination was dear
DID Lunnon across the pond.
There were several reasons for the
governors visit to England.
In the first place, he says, there wa
the matter of the $7,OO0,O0O ~repudiated
bond issue of the Planters and Union
bank.
This transaction, which dates way
back to 1S41, has given a blackeye to
Mississippi credit, said Gov. Brewer.
Since the legislature time after time
refused to pay interest on the bonds, it
has been a difficult problem for Mis-.
sissippi as a state, her counties or mut
inequalities or corporations to borrow
money on interest less than a fiat 6
per cent, according to the chief execu-
tive.
The governor says that he has a
scheme under way by which this him
drance may be removed. He talked with
New York and London financicrs about
it and is hopeful that it might go
through.
lie would not discuss the exact nature
of the plan, saying that he had to give
1t more consideration.
Then, too, the governor tried to inn
press English financial interests with the
value of Mississippi land.
lie is said to have options on several
thousand acres of Delta lands.
The option prices, it is said, range
from $50 to SIS per acre, with an aver-
age of $40.
The governor would not discuss these
deals in any particular other than to
say that if the investments were made
it would be a good thing for the state.
The English syndicates, he said, had
of money and were quick to in
vest it in permanent improvements.
Gov. Brewer dined with the lord may.
or of Manchester.

CORN CLUB WORK AT FAIR.
Many Splendid Premiums Arranged fof
This Feature.

Jackson.-The Fair Association has
fully appreciated the splendid work be-
ing accomplished by the Corn Club Boys,
and since the inception of the movement
-four years ago, has offered and PAID lib
cral premiums to encourage them to even
greater effort. Their exhibit has been
featured in every way possible Tor the
purpose Of bringing forcibly to the atten'
ton of visitors what they were doing.
The result has been highly satisfactory
from every standpoint. Interest has IN
creased from year to year.
This year it will be given more alton
ton than heretofore. A large section OF
the Agricultural Building will be set
apart for their use. 1t will be nicely
arranged and decorated in advance OF
their exhibits. Prof. II. II. Pate has vol
untccred his services as superintendent
of this department. He has been active
in the Corn Club work since the first
organization and is in a position to make
of it one OF the most attractive and I'M
portant of the State Fair.

LduSeu d LlSt.
Insurance Commissioner 7. M. Henry,
bent on breaking up that class Of 500
~licitors who do business for illegal firms

all fire, life and miscellaneous agents of

Mr.. Henry has printed these for free
distribution, with a view of furnishing
anyone with a copy who is DESTROYS of
investigating the legal status of any great

the aid of this pamphlet anyone can
easily ascertain whether an agent is
authorized to do business for the firm
which he claims to represent. He can
tell also, whether the stamp of approval
Of the state has been put on a firm which
Is soliciting business.
With the view Of obtaining the aid OF
the officers in the various counties of
the state in the fight against the few un.
authorized companies that occasionally
slip into the state and for a time dc
profitable business, Mr.. Henry will mai
to these officers copies of the booklet
with the request that any agents doing
business in the county who are not duly

dozen counties of the state, and this re-

tiles of small size and sparse population
where the existence OF the office is hard

in recent grand jury reports it is declared
