INSANE MAN WITH MONEY.

Jackson, Miss, April 6.-Wanderlng
around the grounds of the Mississippi
Insane Hospital yesterday afternoon,
Earnest Brent acting so queerly that
officials of the institution called up po-
lice headquarters and had him ar
rested. The police were surprised to
find a roll of bills and a certified
check in the mans pockets. The pris-
oner carried about $500 in his 'jeans."
It is understood that the man was in
the asylum about ten years ago. and
that his sister, Mrs. Murray, resides
at Delo. The police have telephoned
to that place and relatives state they
will come here tomorrow to take
charge of Brent, who. according to the
officers, acts very queerly, and, as they
express it, talks silly"

University, of Baton Rouge. La, which
is heralded as one of the strongest col

year, is coming to Jackson the latter

expected will draw large crowds to

READY TO OPEN CAMPAIGN.

Jackson, Miss, April 6.-It is expect
ed that in the next few days a call
will be issued for meeting of the
Mississippi Democratic state executive
committee, which body must get to-
gether in order to arrange for holding
the 1915 state primaries. While the
approximate time is along about the
middle or latter part of August, it is
necessary for the committee to meet
at such time as to give four clear
months notice Of the exact date.
Nothing is known as to the other po-
litical organizations in the state. Re-
publican, Progressive or Socialist, but
it is practically certain that there will
be only the one set of primaries this
summer and that will be the Demo
cratic. Should either of the others de.
sire to present nominees for any or
all of the Offices to be filled they could
do so through their state committees,
by petition to the election commission
ers.

Democratic party in Mississippi is rep

terest to the Southern Conference for
Education and Industry, which is to
convene in Chattanooga, April 81 to
80. According to State Superintend-
ent Smith, every citizen of Mississip-
pi who is interested in the develop
ment of the states industrial, educa-
tional and social welfare should take
sufficient interest in the occasion to
see that every county in the state is
represented at this important meeting.
1t Is known that Gov. Brewer and
Supt. Smith have joined with the Of
ficials of other southern states in an
invitation to President Wilson to at
tend and address the Chattanooga con-
ference, and these officials think more
than likely that he will accept the in
vitation and be present.
Supt. Smith urges county superin-
tendents, principals and leading teach
ers, religious and social workers, farm
ers and business men throughout the
state to cooperate with the officials
of this distinctive southern states con-

thousand bales of cotton raised on the
Mississippi convict farms and sold to
Copenhagen concern win not Be
shipped.
Loading the cotton in Norwegian
vessel is now in progress at Gulfport,
but it will be stopped this afternoon.
Acting on the advice OF Secretary
of State Bryan, the board of trustees
of the Mississippi penitentiary today
issued orders to stop the loading Of
the cotton in the Norwegian vessel
Hugoud, now in port at Gulfport.
Secretary Bryan advised the men,
bers Of the prison board that the cot
ton shipment would come under the
embargo declared by England. The
head of the State Department took
this position because, he said, al
though the cotton is consigned to Co
penhagen, it would eventually be ship
ped into Germany and would, there
fore; come under England's embargo.
| The Hugoud expected to clear this
week from Gulfport but the decision
of Secretary Bryan will prevent insur-
ance on the cotton and it will probably
be unloaded Just what will be done
