Jackson, Miss, July 14.-(Special.) .)-The governor of the state of Mississippi is a worker. He is one of these fellows who does not mind his neighbors seeing him ill his blue overalls. He is not ashamed of being caught in his working clothes. He does not care who catches him in his working clothes. He is proud of the blis- ters and the corns in the palms of his hands. He enjoys the distinction of hay ing his wrists and arms painted brown by the summer sun. He is willing to be placed on line with those of his con stituents who make their bread and meat in the sweat of their brow. He works his own garden, situated in the heart of the city of Jackson, and he has good one. He is perhaps the only man in Jackson who has put up as much as barrel of sauerkraut for winter use He is the only man in Jackson who de- fies the rules of society and does as he pleases. He is the only man in Mis- sissippi who does not seem to care which way the cat jumps, and who lands on his feet all the time
 Governor Bilbo states that he is going to call an extra session of the legisla- ture for the purpose of considering finan- cial and revenue measures, and there is no doubt he will do so He has not named the date on which the law makers will be assembled, but it Is un- derstood that 1t will be during the month of August.

It is said that there are some departments of the state govern ment that are in need of investigation and Governor Bilbo will not hesitate to set loose the dogs of war.
 ANOTHER FEDERAL JUDGE
 Now that the Senate judiciary commit tee has reported favorably on the propo- sition to give Mississippi another fed eral judge speculation is rife as to upon whose shoulders the ermine will fall for lifetime job. A number of promi- nent attorneys have been mentioned for the place, several being avowed candi- 7 dates, but it is strongly believed here that Ed Holmes, a brilliant young law yer of Yazoo City, will get the plum MT. Holmes happens to be the son-in-law of Senator John Sharp Williams and as matter of course this distinguished statesman, national leader and close friend and adviser of the President, will have considerable influence in the se- lection of this new judge. Under the present dispensation Mississippi has two districts, northern and southern with Henry c. Niles, republican, holding court at six or eight different places twice a year. It so happens that two federal clerks will be to appoint, L. B. Nose ley, clerk of all the courts in the south- ern division, having died at few days . since after 25 years service. The place is still vacant and scores of willing pa- triots are after the job. Mr. Moseley left son, about 21 years of age, named Niles for Judge Niles. and it is believed
