Jackson.-George c. Myers, clerk of
the supreme court, reports that the rec
ord in the case of Miss Pearl Morris
against the Alabama & Vicksburg Rail-
way Company is being gotten ready for
transmission to the clerk of the United

court sustained a Judgment obtained in
the circuit court of Warren county by
Miss Morris, amounting to $4,000, for
permitting negroes to travel in the same
Pullman sleeper in which she had bought
a berth from Vicksburg to New York.
The state supreme court held that the
company was presumed under the "jim
crow laws to provide separate accom-
modatiops for the races within the state
of Mississippi.

CONWCTS MADE 1000 BALES
GATHINGS GIVES INTERESTING
COTTON FIGURES.
He Also Refers to the Crop of Con-
Which He Says Will Total 175,000
Bushels-Some Cotton to Pick.

Jackson.-That the state convict
farms will yield just about 1000 bales
of cotton during the season of 1912-1913,
his estimate of a month ago, still is
maintained by Superintendent j. Z.
Gathings.
Col. w. A. Montgomery of Edwards,
a member of the prison board of trus-
tees, does not agree with Superintend-
ent Gathings in his estimate. He be-
lieves it will not run more than 5000.
Col. Montgomery is a very conservative
man and talks in a conservative way.
Mr.. Gathings, to support his contention,
jotted down a few figures, which he
showed Col. Montgomery, and the lat
ter, while not admitting the crop would
be so large, said that he hoped it would
be. In speaking of the crops Superin-
tendent Gathings said:
We have about 1000 bales yet to
pick. With the forces we have We have
done our best to gather the crops, but
all of the cotton is not yet gathered.
However, | think that in about ten days
every cotton field will be bare.
80 far the figures on cotton from the
convict farms run about as follows:
Sold and to be moved ...... 900 bales
Still in the field ...........1,0 900 bales
Cotton at Belmont farm 49,. $50 bales
Ginned and held for sale. 1900 bales
Now in cotton warehouse. 1900 bales
Sold and delivered ........2 $500 bales
lOJal f,I0U Udles
'These are approximate figures, but
just about correct. This will make the
convict farms cotton yield the largest
in the history of the farms.
"In addition to cotton we have been
busy gathering other crops. For in.
stance, the corn crop will come up to
about $4,000 bushels. Not quite all of
the corn has been gathered, but this
work will all be completed at q very
early date"
