The Court Will Eclipse Murderous
Record of Last Year.
YOUNG NEGROES THE CRIMINALS.
Delta and South Mississippi Furnish
the Most of the Gases.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct. 6.-Appeal records in
murder cases wherein the lower
courts have affixed the death sent
ence continue to arrive at the su-
preme court and are being docketed
for the regular October term which
convenes next Monday.
Up to date appeals have been taken
in twenty-eight murder cases and
several more are to arrive before the
court cOnvenes, the transcripts of
lower court records not having been
completed and placed III shape for
filing.
The supreme court eclipsed all
previons records last year in handing
out death sentences, and a week
rarely passed without the date being
fixed for one or more legal executions.
The court now promises to eclipse
Its last years record, and the grew
some calendar of the gallows seems
to have had little effect in redu5ing
the number of murders or producing
q salntary effect in th0 lawless Sec
tions OF the state. Some hotbeds of
crime have been cleaned out, but re-
ports of killings by the score pour in
from other sections, and it is a no.
ticable fact that the per cent of negro
murders and murderers is increasing
at q phenomenal rate, and they are
confined chiefly to the younger gen
GRAFTON of the race. The killing of q
negress by her paramOur, or vice
versa, has become so common as to
attract no comment, and it is this
class of crime with which the su
preme court will principally deal ih
the death sentence cases at the CON-
ing term.
The delta and south Mississippi
will furnish majority of the muir
der cases of the term, and the NUM-
Der of appeal cases received is small
as compared with the number oi
murders committed. A Covingtor
county paper, for instance, states
that within the past eiget years be.
tween thirty and forty men have
been killed In that county, yet not &
single hanging has occurred during
the period, and the paper wants tC
know where the "slIpg gap" is located
believing that two or three old-timt
hangings will have good effect or
the lawless element who do not re
gard the value of human life, bu
treat 1t as commodity of exceedin,
cheapness.

He Was Exonorated by Mathis and
Lester, Hanged Recently
AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE CRIME.
A Man of Bad Character, But is
Innocent of the Crime.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Oct. 6.-PetltiOns will be
placed in circulation IN Marshal,
Yalabusha, Pontotoc and Lafayette
counties this week asking Governor
Longino to grant pardon to Bill
Jackson, the white man now serving
life term in the penItentiary for
participating in the murder of the
MontgomeryS, the crime for which
Will Mathis and Orlando Lester
paid the death penalty at Oxford on
the oath of September.
It is understood that the citizens
who were most vigorous III proSecu-
| ting Mathis and Lester are now
backing the pardon petition for Jack
son, being convinced that he Is the
victim of unfortunate circumstances
and was in no way connected with
the killing. He was exOnerated on
the gallows by the two condemned
men, both stating that Jackson left
the Mathis home before the shots
were fired which resulted in the
death of the. two deputy marshals.
While it is believed that Jackson
knew the killing was going to take
place, or that it was threatened, 1t is
also believed that he endeavored to
dissuade Mathis from his purpose.
Jackson is now on the Rankin
county convict farm and has been in
bad health for several months. His
wife is in the insane asylum, and her
dementia was undoubtedly caused
by griet over the arrest of her hus
band. The prisoner has never borne
good character, having been in
volved In numerous federal court in
dictments for illicit distillery work,
but the petitioners say that he should
not be punished for q crime of which
he is innocent, and that he ought to
be released and stand trial for the
less serious charges against him.

THE CITIZENS BANK.
Opens in Temporary Building for
the Transaction of Business.

/
The Citizens Bank people have
| had rather an uphill business of it.
the past several weeks. The founda-
tion of the bank, three story struc-
ture, was laid some time ago, but as
the front on Main street and the
front'On Front street were to be built
of marble, and as the material was
slow about coming, it was a long
time before this work was done, and
is not completed yet. OF course no
other work could be done until this
was completed and hence the prog
ress of the building has been very
slow. But most of the material is
now on the ground and the building
will go up very rapidly from this
time on.
This delay in the erection of the
building has caused a delay in open
ing the bank, there being no other
suitable place in the city, but finally
the sample room of the Klondyke
hotel was secured and this morning
at an early hour carpenters were
busy fixing it up. This is one of the
incest buildings in the city, but en-
tirely too small for the bulk Of the
business this bank expects to do and
it is there only temporarily, or until
the bank building is completed,
which will be in month or two
But the hank is now about open and
ready for business and within the
next day or two will be able to do all
the business that may be offered it,
though in rather II cramp way.
The Citizens Bank is a home in.
stitutiOn, gotten up by home capital
and is capitalized about $75 900, which
is a splendid beginning. 1t is officed
by the following we'll known gentle
men, two of them residents of this
city, one of EllIsville and one of
Tennessee:
John A. Mcleod, President.
F. =. Phillips, Cashier.
w. S. Pettis, Jr. of EllIsvilIe, AS
sistant cashier.
? Gee. S. Jones of Tennessee, book
keeper.
Messrs. Mcleod and Phillips,
residents of Hattiesburg, are too well
known to need any accommodation
at the hands of the Progress, and
nearly all business men in this sec
ton know Mr.. Pettis of EIlisvllle
who has been a valuable citizen of
that city and fully identified with It's
best interests for many years. Mr..
Gaines comes from Tennessee with
the highest recommendations both as
a gentleman an thorough business
man. In all the bank has fine
team and the Progress predicts that
it will do fine business. Hatties-
burg feels proud of this new institu-
tion, as it naturally feels proud of all
such institutions, and no doubt will
give it very liberal patronage as
will this entire section.
