ing trip. But soon thereafter | will

Brewer returned last night from
Clarksdale, and other points in the
Delta, where he went on private bust
ness. He found his desk filled to over.
flowing with correspondence, most of

Private Secretary Buck said today
that never before, after several years
service in the office of the governor
of Mississippi did he see so many and
so persistent appeals on the governor
for pardons. They come by every
mail, and are stacked up all over the
office. 1t has become necessary for
the governor to employ a young lady
with nothing to do except to look aft
er pardon matters and she is at work
all the time.

Natchez, Dec. II. The harvest
ing season in this section has been
unusually favorable. Nearly all cot
ton, corn, rice and other products have
been marketed. 1t is estimated that
five times as much cotton is stored in
Natchez warehouses than this time
last year, although on account of the
good prices much has been sold. 1t
is probable that much larger cot
ton crop will be planted in the district
surrounding Natchez next year for
no damage was inflicted this year by

examination and adjustment of the
records of The office, which have been
so long in state of chaos"
In the concluding paragraph to his
narrative statement, Mr.. Brewer has
the following:
I'm calling attention to the many

Gamers HEARING To
Be HELD SATURDAY
MucHLy MARRIED MAN THEN
WILL SHOW WHETHER OR NOT,
He is INSANE.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. l6.--The requ!-
sition of Governor Hall, of Louisiana,
for j. H. Garner, alleged forger and
bigamist, who styles himself ere
former" and lecturer" reached Gov.
Earl Brewer today, but no action has
been taken on it, as the chief execu.
tive will await the outcome of Gar
ner's trial on charges of lunacy.
The lunacy hearing will take place
next Saturday, having been postponed
from yesterday to that date.
Gossip about the city police head
quarters has it that Garner says he is
not crazy, as charged by a brother
who came here from South Mississippi.
and that Garner said he would prefer
going to the penitentiary than to an
insane asylum.
Garner was arrested here by Chief
of Police Sam Nunnery two weeks ago,
when his wife, formerly Miss Laura
Bates, of Marshall, Ark, discovered
that her husband had other wives, ac-
cording to reports. Since then officers
have received letters from various
parts of Louisiana and Alabama say
ing Garner had wives from whom he
had not been divorced.
The requisition from Governor Hall
comes as a result of the activities of
officials at Franklinton, La. who claim
that Garner is wanted there on a
charge of forgery. This charge Gar.
ner denies. He also denies that he
