Government Estimates That Farmers

Jackson, Nov. II.

0dChSoH, 1NoV. Iz.
According to the report sent cut
from Washington in the government s
estimate of the corn crop of Missis-
sippi this state will make 34,600, 900
bushels this year. That is about TO-
100000 bushels more than was made
last year and Commissioner of Agri-
culture Blakeslee is convinced that
the government estimate is wrong.
Mr.. Blakeslee has wired to the depart
ment of agriculture for verification of
its figures, stating that he does not
believe the corn crop of Mississippi
will be more than 100000 bushels.
He hopes the government is correct,
but has very serious doubt about it,
although this years crop is admitted
to have been the very best the state
ever made.
GEORGE ROSS ACQUITTED.
George Ross, a well-known citizen
of Smith county, was arraigned in the
federal court yesterday morning on
the charge of having burned the post
office and courthouse at Raleigh about
one year ago. However, the govern
ment failed to make out much of a
case and at the request of attorneys
for the defense Judge Niles instruct
ed the jury to bring in a verdict of
not guilty. Nearly 100 citizens of
Smith county, including several la
dies, were here as witnesses for one
side or the other, and in dismissing
the case Judge Niles took occasion to
deliver a very interesting lecture,
taking for his subject, "Good Citizen

Lieutenant Edgar N. Coffey, u. s.
A., reached here yesterday morning
from Salt Lake City where he has
been on duty for the past year. Lieut..
Coffey comes here under orders from
the war department in connection
with the investigation of alleged ir-
regularities in the Office of Adjutant
General Fridge and the military de-
partment of the state generally.
Lieutenant Coffey was stationed in
Jackson several years and is per-
fectly familiar with the werk here. It
is stated that three or four other
army offiecsr will arrive during the
week and that they will constitute a
board of inquiry that will hold joint
session with the legislative commit
tee. Gen. Fridge has met the COM
mittee half way declaring he has
nothing to conceal and that he hopes
they will make thorough investiga-
tion of his department. He states
that he is not the disbursing officer
and does not handle the funds.
General Fridge's friends are conf
dent that he has been guilty of moth
ing more than a little carelessness,
especial yin the care Of the guns
and other property furnished the
state by the United States govern
ment.

Petition for Pardon.

To the Honorable Earl Brewer:
We, the undersigned petitioners respectfully
beg that pardon be granted TO Arthur Foy
convicted of murder from Hancock county and
sent 10 the penftentfary for life.
We believe he should be pardoned for the fol-
lowing reasons:
We do not believe him guilty.
He was convicted on the testimony of one
witness, while the testimony in his favor in our
opinion, was stronger than that OF the State
The Testimony AGAINST him was weak and led
us to believe that It was more likely that the
crime was committed by some one else
Foy enjoyed a good reputation,
There were several witnesses In and about
the killing. but the State could get but one wit
ness against Fov, while several witnesses swore
positively that Foy did not do the shooting Foy
was at disadvantage In getting missing wit
nesses, as they had left the State.
For these reasons and other reasons to ba
shown we pray that you pardon said Foy
