JACKSON, MISS.
Governor Offers Reward-Drafting g New State Code-COnvict Farms to Have Big Exhibit at Fair
By "Hop"


 Jackson.( Miss. October 12.-(Spe- cial. )-Governor Brewer has offered a reward of s250 for the arrest and con- viction of the murder of Albert Cage, cashier of the Planters bank of C1arks- dale, and asks the officers of the sew eral counties to be dilligent in their efforts to apprehend him. MT. Cage was well and favorably known to a great many citizens of Jackson, having been raised in the neighboring town of Cam ton, and the news of his death at the hands of burglar and assassin came as a great shock
 A committee of lawyers D. c. Bram- lette of Woodville. Lamar F. Easterling of Jackson and R. N. Sommerville of Cleveland, met at the capitol today for the purpose of drafting a bill to be sub mitted to the legislature in January calling for @ new code of the laws of the state, the present code having been adopted 10 years ago, and since which time many puzzling amendments have pointed by R. B. Campbell of Green vile. president of the Mississippi Bar association.
 It is given out at penitentiary head quarters that Superintendent O'Keefe will make just as creditable an ex hibit at the state fair as possible, and that he will also carry it to the Merid- ian fair if wanted. This display of the products of the convict farms has all ways been one of the strongest attrac~ tions at the state fair, and will be again. Few people realize the immensi- ty of the states farming operations. and know nothing of the extent to which diversification has been pur- sued by the management. The live stock from the Rankin and Oakley farms, such as fine stallions jacks, brood mares, horse and mule colts. hogs, beef and dairy cattle. are seen by thousands and is an encouragement for the indi- vidual farmer.
