EXTENSION FORCES CONFER

The farm demonstration forces of the state are gathered at the A. and M. Col lege for conference, all county agents being present. The idea is to map out the fall campaign and to direct the agents what to do to further encourage the farmers of Mississippi to more strenuous efforts in making themselves and their farms self-supporting, and their business more profitable. These agents are largely responsible for improved conditions on Mississippi farms. They have shown the farmers how to make two blades of grass, two ears of corn, two bales of cotton, two hogs, two steers, two sheep. two chickens, etc, grow where hereto fore there has been but one. They have started thousands of orchards, they have increased the states corn production from 31 ,00O,0 900 to 70,OO0000 bushels, they have encouraged hog and cattle production un- til Mississippi is rapidly forging to the front as a great live stock state; the women and the girls have been shown how to make good pin money and more off their poultry and eggs and vegetable gardens, hundreds of them having made enough to send themselves through col lege off one-tenth an acre of land plant
 ed to tomatoes. They have made Mis- sissippi the greatest sweet potato-raising state in the country, and are now forcing the Irish potato well to the front, for
 fall as we'll as spring crops Just what
 " ould have become of Mississippi but for the encouragement of the United States demonstration agents and the A. and M. College forces is a nrohlem that will never have to be solved On their return to their home counties the agents of the government and state will get busy en- couraging the farmers to plant more largely than ever of fall potatoes and all other winter food crops.

TRUSTEES PLAYED POLITICS

Mississippi has a piece of political ma chinery of which the governor is chief CT gineer, known as the general board of trustees" and who have charge of the several state colleges, except the Nor maL They name the presidents, chancel- lors and the faculties, and that is what they have just done with an eye single to the good of the political faction now in the saddle. Some months ago w. H. Smith, president of the A. and M. College, sent in his resignation for the reason that he would not be tied down. He wanted free rein to do what he consid- cred for the best interests of the insttu- tion over which he had been called to pre- side, and failing to get what he demand ed, he quit, and accepted better, or at least a more lucrative place, with the government as supervisor of vocational schools in army camps. After wire-pull
 ing, scheming and log-rolling for two months, the general board elected Dr. C.
 Hull, superintendent of the Meridian public schools, as president of the A. and NJ, busted H. L. Whitfield, president of the Womens College at Columbus, and placed Dr. J. c. Fant of the chair of ed-
 ucatjon at the university, in his place, but retained Chancellor Powers at the uni
 versity. These are all good selections, as it so happens, but there was no use
 and no sense in firing Dr. Whitfield, a
 man who has been at the head of the
 greatest of girls colleges in the south
 for a dozen years, and who enjoyed the confidence of the people and the patrons to the fullest extent. No man in the state can manage more than 1000 girls
 a. smoothly and as satisfactorily as has Dr. Whitfield, and the people of the state were more than satisfied with his work. His only crime was that he did not bow down to and worship the powers that be.

IS FAMOUS IN MISSISSIPPI

Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the United States public health service is in Missis- sppi again for the purpose of investigat- ing the cause of mum erous cases of pei lagra reported to the state board of health from Humphreys county recently. Dr. Goldberger demonstrated. few years ago, that the disease can be cured, and since that time Mississippi has had great faith in him. He had contended that cheap food caused pellagra, and that the cure was good, substantial food, and score of life-term convicts in the Missis- sirpi penitentiary agreed to submit to the tests on promise of Governor Brewer to pardon them if they lived. The twenty ccnvicts were fed on such diet as the poorer classes in the country districts are known to eat day after day, year ip and year out and in due course of time several of them developed positive cases of the loathsome disease. They were then switched to richer, stronger foods, peas and beans predominating, and in short while they all recovered, proving beyond the shadow of doubt that Dr. Goldber- gers theory was the correct one. The physicians of the state, profting by these very striking demonstrations. have been very successful in treating the dis ease since that time, and the death rate has been materially decreased. large number of cases have developed in the county of Humphreys here of late. and Dr. Gel6beree- --- try to find the cause and stop the outbreak.

Governor Russell has broken painful silence in regard to the suspension of couple of interesting sentences, but his attempt to explain does not touch on the main issue He states that he suspended sentence on Senator Wood of Harrison county because he was man of high standing" and had charming wife and httle children" Senator Wood had plead ed guilty to embedding about 5000 while he was superintendent of education Of Harrison county His sentence was a fine of $250 and thirty days in jail. He paid the fine and the amount of his alleged de- falcation, but it was the jail sentence that bothered him, and the governor sus- pended that until the pardon board could act on the case. Had this been poor, ig- norant man, with no political influence, it is very probable he would never have been given a suspension, and that sus- pension before sentence was passed. In the case of the negro Goldsby, sent uH from Vicksburg for five years on con viction as common thief, or fence, and
 whose sentence was suspended in few weeks, after he claims to have paid cer-
 tain politicians 5000 for pardon, the gov | ernoy states that he suspended sen-
 tence because the negro was very sick
 man. Now, it so happens there are sev-
 eral other very sick men in the peniten- tiary, and who are burden to the state,
 but they have not been treated so 1 literally.
 The state pardon board is now looked
 upon by the people of the state as the | biggest farce with which Mississipplans
 have to deal. The last legislature passed
 bill aboishing the board, but Governor Russell vetoed it, and efforts to run II
 over him failed However, these Goldsby
 and Wood cases seal it's doom. There will | be no more pardon board when the next
 legislature gets through with it, and all responsibility will rest on the governr,
 where the constitution puts it.

Jackson, Miss, July S1-(SpeciaL)-It is reported to the state live stock sanitary board that ffty-two concrete dipping vats in Beats and B. Smith county, have been dynamited and totally destroyed this week. and the spirit of lawlessness is run ming rampant over the county.
 These vats are costly arrangements, because of the high price of cement and lime and the mixtures that go to make the dipping solutions to kill the ticks. It is estimated that the damage done is at least s100Oo, a sum that will have to come out of the pockets of the taxpayers of the county.
 The dynamiting was in and around Sul- ivan's Hollow, of which TaylorsYille IS the capital, and in the extreme southern part of the county. Sullivan's Hollow was famed for many years as the home of lawlessness, but of late years, since the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad was built, the people were supposed to have become fairly well civilized. However, this lawless outbreak sets them back in their old place, and they will be years wiping out the stigma unless the guilty men are captured and punished as they deserve The entire military strength of the state is behind the live stock board in the enforcement of the dipping laws but those people defy the authorities, ano declare they will not dip any more. Their section will at least be quarantined tight and fast, and not a steer will be per mitted to leave the county.
 Smith is one of those few counties where the farmers have protested all along that they did not want their cattle dipped, and number of them have re- fused to do so. The consequence is that the county is yet full of ticks, and the dipping is ordered continued
 It is stated here that great deal oi this lawlessness, this defiance of the live stock board, is due to a speech made at Raleigh, Smith county a few weeks age by Ross Collins, former attorney gen eral and now candidate for Congress in
