JACKSON, MISS.
Brewers Alleged Threat Causes Sem satiOn-'rhOmpson Out of Race-Al- Iison-COOper Wedding

Jackson, Miss, July 16.-(SpeciaL) Governor Brewers alleged threat to cut Lee RusselPs throat from ear to ear at Wesson last night has given Jackson a savory morsel to roll around under it's tongue.
 The story here is to the effect that during MT. Russelrs speech he became very personal in his references to the governor and had started in to repeat
 charge to the effect that Governor
 Brewer has stolen bill or other record
 during the last session of the legisla- ture, when the governor stepped out on the speakers stand and told Russell loud enough to be heard by those in front. There are some things I will
 not stand for Mr. Russell, and the peo- pie of Mississippi do not expect me 10 stand for them, even though am their governor. The one thing 1 won't stand | for is an accusation of stealing, and I want to warn you privately that if you
 accuse me of theft I'll cut your throat | from ear to ear"
 candidate for lieutenant governor, continued his speech, explaining that
 the governor had threatened to cut his 1 throat, but never made the charge he 1 was def1ed to make, and there was no physical encounter.
 Duncan L. Thompson. state auditor, has determined that he will not enter the race for secretary of state, and has
 so assured Secretary of State Power. There has been a persistent rumor for
 sometime that MT. Thompson would be
 a candidate for this important posi-
 tion, and he admits that he had tine proposition under consideration for
 sometime, but has finally decided to stay out of it.
 Wiley Sutton Allison, a prominent
 young business man of Fort Worth,
 Tex, and Miss Florence Cooper, a
 charming young lady of this city. were
 married at the home of the bride last
 night, the ceremony being performed by
 the Rev. Wayne Sutton of Rankin coun- ty. MT. and Mrs. Alliston left imme6i-
 ately for San Francisco and other west

Sept. 12.-Packey Mcfarland, Of Chi

last night by building up victory In
the last two rounds Of his ten-round

before $1,000 persons.

Tense of the Chicago man.
McFarland's shade wasn't big. In
fact he didn't have any till the eighth
round. Never was there an evener bout
up TO that session. But the last two
rounds were so clearly the stock yards
boys that they rave him what slight
shade there was.
AS far as real fighting action was con-
cerned. experts declare there was bet
ter work done in the training quarters
before the battle. Mcfarland looked to
be fatter than reported. and it was diff
ficult to realize that he had weighed in
at l7 in the afternoon.
The Stockyards scrapper appeared to
take little interest in the battle. His
work was not tempered with a show of
intent to wade in and punish his op-
ponent. nor was Gibbons any too eager
to mike in a grueling bout. Gibbons
appeared to be somewhat overtrained
he was more tired than Mcfarland
after the battling.

Men on Hilltop Will

out by Coach Albert EXendne. who
awarded the Blue and Gray players
their first day Of rest today. The ia
nous Indian mentor is rapidly Whipping
the candidates into shape for that hrst
clash of the season on Saturday week,
when the Princeton Tigers are taken on.
EXendine has little TO say for publica-
ton. still less for conversation. as re-
suits speak for themselves. Those who
have closely followed the fortunes of
the Hilltop football men during EXcn-
dimes stay last year and at the start
of this season see nothing but success
ahead.
Bearing in mind that the Blue and
Gray Will meet two OF the strOns.st
teams in the country right TT the start
OF the season, EXendine has been driv-
ing his men ahead with unwonted zeal.
1t Will be just as hard for Princeton
and the Navy these hot days, so
Georgetown men feel that they are in
no way prosecuted.
Despite the balmy weather, Exendine
is going to have scrmmages every
day beginning Wednesday, Every man
on the squad will be given his chance
and by the end of the week "A fairly

the hub-bub. and the seconds and hang.
