DROTKERS-|N-LAh TO
Be RIVAL CANDIDATES
BOTH GOING OUT FOR THE CON-
GRESSiONAL SEAT OF r. u.
SlSSON.
Special to The NeWS.

cPCOfNA @O 4 fEC C0 o.
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 27.-The uni
que spectacle of brothers-in-law op-
posing each other fof congress is in
prospect up in the fourth district of
Mississippi, which for the past eight
years has been represented by Con
gresham T. L. Sisson.
Several months ago it was current
ly reported in political circles that
Congressman Sisson would voluntari-
~ retire in order to make the race
for United States Senate in 1916
against John Sharp Williams; that a
deal to this effect had been arranged
by Lieut.-GOvernor Bilbo, now recOg-
nized as the most powerful factor in
Mississippi politics. Bilbo's plan be-
ing to get Sissons seat in Congress
for William c. Ward, of Winona. Mr..
Ward served as manager Of the Bilbo
executive committee during the re
cent state campaign.
1t now looks, however, like a cog
has slipped somewhere, and that Mr..
SissOn has no idea of retiring from
Congress, or of making the race
against Mr. Williams, pTeferring a
sure thing in the lower house to the
uncertainty of a scat in the senate.
While he has not made any state
ment on the subject, close personal
friends, of Mr.. Sisson say that this
is his present frame of mind. The
Bilbo faction, however, is determined
to make good on its promise TO Mr..
Ward, and will put him into the race
regardless of the fact that he is a
brOther-in-law Of Mr. Sisson, both
having married daughters of the late
Capt. j. c. Purnell, one of the leading
citizens of Montgomery county.
Friends Of Sisson say that while
he would prefer not to run against
his own brother-in-law, he will do this
rather than be forced into making a
race against Senator Williams. Mr..
Sisson had an unpleasant time get
ting into congress, as his first race
was against his former law partner
w. S. Hill, who had represented the
district for several years.
Both SissOn and Ward have been
ardent supporters of Senator Varda-
man, but the former has never been
strong for Bilbo, and the
prospective race will produce an in
Leresting political complication.

FARMER is SHOT.

Jackson, Mis-, Aug. 27.-Tom Hart,
a prosperous and prominent farmer
who lives about a mile south of Can
ton, in Madison county, was shot by a
negro employee at II o'clock this morn
ing and is not expected to live. A
posse of % men, headed by Sheriff
Melton, left Canton just before noon
and are securing the woods for the
fugitive, who left the Hart place as
soon as he shot the farmer
Long distance telephone messages
at noon stated that while details of the
shooting were lacking it is known that
Mr. Hart and the negro had difficult
ty this morning, and that the darkey
whose name could not be learned, Sc
cured a shotgun and shot his employ
err in the back of the head.
A long distance telephone message
from Canton says that considerable
excitement prevails in that city over
the shooting, Tor Mr.. Hart was one OF
the most popular farmers in that ter
ritory. The extent of his wounds had
not been determined at noon, but it
is known that he is in a dangerous
condition.
A call for physicians was sent to
Canton by members of Mr.. Harris
family, and doctors soon reached the
farm house BY that time the negro
who had shot Mr.. Hart had made
getaway, taking to the nearby woods.
The sherif's posse has hopes of
capturing the fugitive some time dur
ing the afternoon. If captured he will
be taken to Canton and lOckel in Jail

EMBEZZLER PARDONED.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 27.-Lawrence
Yerger, formerly secretary of the
board Of prison trustees, who was Civ
en- a fifteen year term in the peniten-
tiary. when, in May. 1913, he pleaded
guilty to a charge Of embezzling about
100000 of state funds, was pardoned
by Gov. Earl Brewer late yesterday
afternoon, and today is a free man.
The chief executive, departing from
his usual custom of late, gave Yerger
an unconditional pardon, which re
stores his citizenship and shows the
confidence that Gov. Brewer has in
the young man.
Friends of YergeR are now extend
ing congratulations to him, for they
have always considered that he was
not at heart inclined to do any Grim
inal act, but believed that in an evil
hour he yielded to temptation.
Yerger's friends, and he has many
of great influence, have had a lengthi-
ly signed petition on file in the gov
ernOrs office for some months, and
have been hoping that he soon would
be allowed to have his freemod. He
has been at the Belmont farm since
he went to the penitentiary, and has
had charge of the cOmmissary there,
performing the duties assigned him in
a manner that had won him high ia
vor with the prison authorities.
Asked last night for a statement re
garding the pardon, Governor Brewer
said
yes, | pardoned Yerger, because l
think he has been sufficiently pun
ished, and because large numbers Of
people have begged me to extend
clemency.
Il think Yerger has been punished
enough, especially when it is consid-
cred that his offense of taking ABOUT
$4,000 was a mere miniature com
pared with the offenses Of others in
connection with the operations that
were going on"
Yerger was arrested following a dis
covery Of his shortage by II. A. Pagan,
special auditor, who looked over the
books during the famous penitentiary
probe in the early part of 1913, and
which was instituted by Gov. Brewer.
When Yerger was called to the gov
ernor's office to explain certain nota- |
tons in the books he confessed his
guilt and said he was ready to take |
his punishment. He did not fight the |
charge, but went quietly into the cir
cult court room a few days later, |
pleaded guilty, received his sentence. |
and then began serving his term. At |
the time it was rumored that Yerger |
knew more than he would tell, and |
that some of his friends were involv- |
ed These reports were stoutly de- |
MED by Yerger, who maintained that |
what he had done was his own fault.
that he had been influenced by on |
