Mathiston--FOr many years the
Bennett academy has been maintained
at Clarkson, and many boys and girls
have gotten the start that has resulted
In splendid uccess in Iife's contest.
The graduates of Bennett have proved
up In the business and social struggle.
But the time came when new build

distant from the railroad, so that Ma
thiston became the new site. and all
will be ready for the opening day,

There are three new buildings, one
the administration and recitation
building, a handsome brick structure
that is o commanding and beauti-
full IN appearance; a second, the girls
dormitory, with three stories and base
ment, with wide yeranda across the
entire front, and accommodating 80

south of the main building, a brick
structure accommodating 40 boys.
The campus, thus guarded in its
more central part by the three build

For the first time since the land be-
came a state penitentiary farm, under
ebe canIroI and direction of either the
old board of control of the penitentiary
OF the board OF trustees, as under the
present di~spensation, the Rankin farm
tx making il profitable crop this season
without planting a row of cotton. The
Eeasozs for this change are obvious.
For the past several years, even with
Ene high class, modern work which the
srate authorities have been able to

sac land for cotton growing has gone
AUEn bah ID worse This was demon
stgased last season, when from over

According to Sergt. O'Keefe, who is
In charge OF the property, who was in
tins city on business, the diversified
system seems to be a decidedly well
cczua change. Such land as was Guilt
v7ssesF was planted in oats. corn, peas,
potatoes, sugar cane and forage crops,
which have one fairly well this sea-
son, and from which much more profit
wrsT be derived than had cotton rails
fns been attempted. In addition to
the general farm crops cultivated, con-
~etsferabIe attention has been devoted
to stock raising, including swine, cattle
and mules, which latter has gotten be-
ytyud the experimental stage.
The same general farming system is
also in operation at Oakley, where it
has also been demonstrated that cot
Epn growing Is Improbable. AT his
place uader SergtS. DOdds and FOltz,
ssgege mas been developed what has
&rzeu pronounced as one of the best
STOCK farms in the state, which, to-

As g. matter of fact, with cotton

CATTLE RAiSERS MEET.
Large Representation at Convention
in Meridian.

in Meridian.
Meridian.-Owing to the rain there
were not as large sales of fine cattle.
as would otherwise nave been the case
at the Mississippi Alabama fair
grounds, but many of those attending
h Southern Cattlemen's association,
which convened here, made purchases.
There were visitors here from nearly
every southern state, the total num-
Der in attendance reaching 500
The visitors were much pleased with
the address Of welcome by Hon. J. M.
McBeath n the response of j. A.
Herman of Birmingham. There are all
kinds of cattle on sale. Herefords,
Shorthorns, Aberdeen-Angus, Red Poll
Jerseys, Holstein, Guernsey, Ayrshire
and Galloway breeds. 1t is expected
that following the barbecue there will
be a sale that will take practically all
of the cattle. Atlanta, Shreveport and
Birmingham are contesting for the
next meeting, with Atlanta apparently
in the lead.
The Southern Cattlemen's %associa-
ton met in it's second annual session,
and the sessions are being held at the
Grand opera house. The address of
welcome was delivered by Hon. j. M.
McBeath, who has one of the most ex-
tenSive stock farms in Lauderdale
county. The response, on behalf Of
the association, was made by DR.. J. A.
Herman of Birmingham, Ala. Daniel
S. Combs, president Of Hickory Val
ley, Tenn, followed with his annual
address. Hon. TAFT Butler of Memphis,
secretary, Is present, and there are
distinguished cattlemen from a num-
Der of southern states present, Missis-
sippi and Alabama being the most
largely represented. Ed H. Webster
of Hoard's Dairyman, a well-known
publication of Fort Atkinson, Wis, de-
livered an address on "The Dairy In
dustry." Another address was Cat
tie as a Basis of Credit at the Bank"
The visitors viewed the fine lot of
cattle at the Observation-Disclosures fair
grounds, and while some sales were
made, the big sale is yet to come.
There was an Old-fashiOned barbecue
at the fair grounds, followed by the
sale of cattle. The distinctive feature
of this meeting is the fine cattle, prin-
cipally Aberdeen-Angus and H~erefords
that have been shipped here from diff
ferent cattle farms from over the coun-
try to be sold. Secretary Striplin of
the MississippiAlabama fair says: 81
attend each fair in the south every
year and l have yet to see at any Of
them, including our own, a finer dis
play of cattle than is now on exhibit
ton at the Observation-Disclosures fair
grounds. 1t is as fine a bunch of cat
tie as was ever gotten together in any
place in the country" There are sssv.
eral carloads from different PLACES.
and Secretary Striplin says that the
work begun through the great cattle
exhibits at the Mississippi-Alabama
fair will be given q great impetus. The
gathering is well attended, but the
big crowd, locally, is expected to at
tend the barbecue and great sale of
fine cattle later.
Contrary to expectations, the South
ern Cattlemen's association elected of.
ficers for the ensuing year..
Frank I. Derby of Sumter county,
Ala, was elected president, and DR.
TAFT Butler of Memphis, secretary. A
list Of Is Independents was named.

Campaign Grows Hot.

That the judiciary campaign is ex.
citing much more interest anon the
people of Lowndes county than is
shown in the contest for congress be-
tween Representative E. S. Gambler of
the first district and Hardin H. Brooks,
his only opponent, is the belief of B..
\. Lincoln, chancery clerk of that
county, who was a visitor in Jackson.
Mr.. Lincoln states hat the contest
between T. G. Kimbrough, the present
occupant of the circuit bench of the
sixteenth district, and his immediate
predecessor, Judge Thomas B. Carroll,
is decidedly the most lively feature Of
the political campaign, and from what
he can gather it seems to be about a
tOssup between the two as the first
choice in the primary.
While not speaking positively, but
giving the general impression which
seems to exist as to the outcome of
the Candler-Brooks campaign, it looks
as if the Corinth statesman will be re-
nominated, as he is very strong and
popular throughout the district. How
ever, Mr.. Brooks has made an able
and brilliant campaign. and has Gov
cred the district thoroughly.
