CONvICTS M~ISTREATED.
Acting Governor Bilbow Tells OF visit
to State Farm.

Disseminating Governor Bilbo re-
turned from %Parehman, where he went
to investigate personally the charges OF
cruelty to convicts said to be practiced
at that place.
When seen by a reporter, Governor
Bilbo made the following statement:
"Having heard so much about the ulr
satisfactory conditions at the state farm,
| especially about tlV cruel and nhuman
treatment of the white convicts at Camp
., l felt it my duty to go at once and
| investigate the facts. | went IN com
pany with Trustees Montgomery and
Smith to Parchman to make a thorough
investigation at first hand.
"After interviewing quite a number OF
the white convicts at Camp 9 in com
pany with Col. Montgomery and MIR
Smith, l found the treatment OF tn
white convicts most shameful and IN
human, even worse than reported.
"The suffering, torture and treatmen
of these poor unfortunate victims as out
lined by them to us would make a sa
story that would serve no good purpos

COURT COMMISSIONERS QUIT
RECENTLY ENACTED STATUTE TO
GOING INTO EFFECT JULY /.
Court Continues Labors-Decision to Ad-
iourn for the Summer R~econsidered.
Whitfield and McLain Retire.

Jackson.-Before the time comes for
the next regular sitting of the supreme
court the order of the Mississippi SUI,
preme court commissioners, held by for
mer Congressman Frank A. McLain, will
have passed to the realms of things thas
we're. 1t was an order established BY
the legislature of 1910, with Il view to
! tightening, if possible, the overburdened
trio of members, and expediting the task
, of disposing of as much as possible OF the
ever-increasing volume of business before
the court. The system, while it may not
have fulfilled all the expectations OF its
creators, was of some material help, but
the legislature of this year decided that
it was useless appendage of the judiciary
department.
Accordingly, the act repeating the SUI
, preme court commission act of 1910, after
due deliberation, was passed, and as
passed it becomes effective on July l. In
reality the commission of Judge Whit
field and Judge McLain will expire pre-
sumably at the close of this week, since
Sunday is a dies non, and the distin-
l guished jurists will return to their posi-
tons at the bar of the same court which
they have served so faithfully.
So far as Judge McLain is concerned,
in effect he has been off the bench for
t the past two months or more, having
been incapacitated by a severe organic
illness.
t Judge Whitfield has made arrangements
a to conduct a law class, which he pro

'e take final adjournment for the summe
