Secretary Bryan defending the clause

Of the United States that anything
should have occurred to mar friendly
relations between the two countries.
The expression honest regret" Mr.
Bryan said. was used In the memo

Despite opposition in the Senate. Mr..
Bryan was hopeful that the treaty
would be favorably reported and rati-
fled. Members OF the foreign relations
committee said that correspondence in
the archives OF the State Department
bearing on the treaty would reach the
committee soon. II will be referred to
a subcommittee and probably will be
made public.

Jackson.-A record.breaking cotton
seed production was made at Parch-

son. according to figures furnished by
C. v. McDougai. sergeant OF weights

months ago by the board OF peniten-
tiary trustees. According to his re-

s25 pounds, OF which $4,000 pounds
was destroyed in q fire at Parchman.
"A little less than 5000 bales OF cot
ton was raised at Parchman In the
1914 season. and the seed will aver
age more than 1000 pounds TO the
bale.
This is in striking contrast to the
years 1903. 1910. and 1911, when the
average fell so low that Gov Brewer
became suspicious and instigated a
probe Of the penitentiary department
to discover what was wrong. In 1909
the quantity OF seed to the bale began
to decline. and in 1911 II had gone
down so far that only $40 pounds to
the bale was accounted for. In 1912.
after the governor began his probe.
the average shot upwards again. and
went to more than 1000 pounds a bale.
The same holds true for the past sea.
