MANY WOULD PRESIDE
OVER MISSISSIPPI HOUSE

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 10. (Spll-
Candidates for speaker of the Missis-
sippi legislature are encountering much
trouble in securing pledges OF support
from newly-elected members of the
5wmaking body, and indications are
that the fight will not assume a def
mite form until the solons meet In
Jackson in January.
The lawmakers, II seems, are reluc-
tant about making pledges, hoping
thereby to secure for themselves favor
able committee assignments, and 1t is
doubtful II either OF the candidates for
the speakership can today count with
positive assurance more than 20 pledges.
The candidates, active or passive, are
Anderson OF Warren, Conner of Coving-
ton, Glass OF Attala, owen Of Union
and Rice OF Tallahatchie. 1t is cur
rently reported that owen of Union will
be the choice OF the administration, as
he has been a prominent worker Of the
VardAman-B tlbo- Russell faction. 4
Sonnet Conner, Of Covington. present
speaker OF the house, Is considered a
serious contender, despite the fact that
only about 40 members Of the present
lawmaking body were reelected. In
the senate there are a large number OF
members OF previous legislative expe-
Renee, but only six Of the number are
serving In the present senate.
Present indications are that George
h, Power, OF this city, will be re-elect-
ed clerk OF the house, and John Falk-
ner, Of oxford, reelected secretary of
the senate with little or no opposition.
The latter Is n law partner of the new
governor, Lee M. Russell.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss, Sept. 10.
tspl.)-H. W. Mason, a prominent bus

splendid sample Of South American wool
cotton. The fiber of this cotton is about
one inch long and looks exactly like
wool. About two years ago Mr.. Mason
bought six seed, for which he paid 81

chickens scratched up two OF the seed
but n produced and grew one stalk
of h cotton, from which Mr.. Mason
saved enough seed to plant a row of the
cotton in his garden this season and
from this planting was produced the
sample that Mr., Mason has on exhibi-

Mr.. Mason hopes to save enough OF
the seed to plant an acre next season
and II he is successful he claims Thai
he will make 5 1000 off OF the seed

vance OF his coming declared themselves
heartily in favor of the prompt accept
ance Of both the peace treaty and league

waite judgment but urging for the gen
eral good of our state that he support
