THE COLUMBIAN woODMEN

More than 200 Columbian Woodmen met here this week in their annual royal household and transacted a great deal of important business. The meet ing was presided over by Eminent Con- cul Lloyd Binford, who explained the object of the gathering. Among other things it was determined to meet here after during the month of July for the reason that the farmer meHbers are able to leave their crops better then than at any other time. During the day the eminent household was called to- gether, and the 13 members thereof were all present. They have recently incorporated under the laws of Missis- sipp, and it has been said that there
 is q movement to make Jackson head quarters for their Mississippi business, the Mississippi membership being much larger than in any other state, and hav- ing more than 7G0 households.

 Huge Farms

Jackson, Miss. April 26.-(Speclal9 The state of Mississippi boasts. ard not without reason, having the best and most humane convict system in the United States. The 1500 convicts, only about 125 of whom are white men, are employed at cultivating five big farms three of them being in the delta, where King Cotton still holds sway, but where the state is demonstrating that corn. hay. alfalfa, wheat and oats make magnificent yields.
 Two of these convict farms lie near Jackson, in the hills, and are devoted almost exclusively to live stock. White men are worked on these farms.
 The state has approached this live stock industry carefully and very grad ually It was forced to it because of the boil weevil invasion few years ago, but as has been the case with

The official chaser was on his job all day, and as a result Monday morning found the city courtroom crowded. Twenty-Five of them walked up to the captains desk and planked
