BEGIN SELLING COTTON

The board of trustees of the peniten-
tlary announce that they are going to
sell 800 bales of cotton and three to
five carloads of seed to the highest bid
der at the Parchman convict farm
Wednesday, September 20, the bids to be
filed by 10 o'clock that morning Sam
pies of the cotton may now be seen on
the farm counters. In view of the fact
that this Is all staple cotton, 1t Is con-
fidently expected it will take more than
20 cents per pound to get it. That is
$l0c per bale, not counting the seed. A
month ago the trustees expected to get
5000 bales of cotton, but now they will
be surprised If they get COCO.

OLD CAPITOL REPAIRS

Great quantities of brick, manufactured
on the convict farm, big piles of sand
from the banks of Pearl river, and mon
strous beams of structural steel from the
American Steel company are now on the
81 ound around the historic old capitol of
Mississippi, and the promise is bright
that ere long the halls and corridors that
once resounded to the eloquence of
Prentiss, Clay, Davis, Lamar, George
and others will have been restored to
their original glory. Architect Link of
st. Louis is here, and has his forces
organized for actual and active work.
