Hendry, the last postmaster of Big

highly probable that Hendry will be
carried to Savannah tomorrow after
noon to be tried in the United States

THE DAY OF THE NEW WOMAN.
women ragists Hear Addresses
by Talented Members of the Sex.


Washington, Feb. 13.-At to-days
session of the Woman's Suffrage Con-
vention reports from the Committee on
Credentials Board of Auditors, and
the corresponding secretary were read
and approved. The report of Harriet
Taylor Upton, treasurer, was submit
ted, and showed the receipts for the
year were $135S1; balance $3.50. A be-
quest by Mrs. Jonas Green of Virginia
amounting to 800 was received
during the year. The afternoon ses-
sion was devoted mainly to addresses
by the state presidents. They were
preceded by Mrs. Virginia Clay Clop-
ton of Alabama, who delivered an adj
dress of greeting.
A crowded audience greeted the
members of the convention at the
night session which, according to
the programme, was to be an
evening with the New Woman. Half
a dozen interesting addresses were read
by wellknown women writer's in jour-
nalism, the law, medicine and the
ology.
Helen A. Shaw of Boston paid a
hearty tribute to the civil service rec
ord of President Roosevelt and in this
connection she asserted that he was
with the woman SuTIfdBlSLS IN tnelr
efforts to obtain the ballot for women.
Her references to the President were
received with hearty demonstrations of
applause.
Woman i'm journalism.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gilman of New Or
leans contributed a very interesting
paper on THE Lady and the Quill"
dealing with the relations of women
to the newspapers. Mrs. Gilman said:
ut is only within the last three or
four years that woman has been re-
moved from the side show of journals
tic freaks and let in on the main floor
of legitimate newspaper work. She Is
no longer advertised as a strange crea-
ture of almost human intelligence, who
can write almost like a man.. She
works side by side with her brother,
and stands or falls on her own merit.
Women still go up in balloons, and
down in diving suits, and travel around
the world, but If their work is fea-
tured, IL is because the story is worth
It, not because it wears petticoats. The
moment, in some prehistoric age when
the monkey shed his caudal appendage
and first stood upright in the likeness
ofN man, did not mark a more momen-
tois era in evolution, for it means
the public recognition Of seKlessness In
work and sexlessness in pay, not only
for the newspaper woman but
ultimately for all the vast
army Of feminine bread-winners.

SENTENCED TO THE PEN.
A Batch of Prisoners From This
and Other Counties.

A batCn or PRISONERS FROM his
and Other Counties.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov. IA batch of pris-
oners has been brought to the peniten-
tiary from Perry county, and among
the number is Jack Richardson, who
was given forty year sentence for
rnanslaughter. Richardson is a white
man and his victim was a man named
HUMPHREYS, whom he killed at lum-
Der camp several months ago. After
the killing Richardson started to flee
to the Indian Territory, but was cap
tured by the officers before he sue
ceeded in getting out of the state. He
entered plea of guilty when ar
raigned, and the extenuating circum-
stances resulted in a short sentence.
An old negro named Groves was
given sentence of ninety years
for participating in murder and rob-
berry in which thirty pieces of gold
were secured from the victim.
The number of prisoners received
for the first two months of November
at the penitentiary has been rather
small as compared with that of last
month.
Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-11-17

While little or no interest is being
manifested in the state campaign, the
press of Mississippi appears particu-
larly anxious that good men should be
elected to the next Legislature, and the
editors are advising their readers to
vote only for men who will pledge
themselves to support all measures
favorable to the progress and indus
trial advancement of the state and a
liberal support Of her institutions.
A contention has also been SET up
against useless legislation, and the
sentiment given expresses that the
success Of a legislature depends not on
the number of laws passed but upon
the number Of useless measures de
feated. The last legislature estab-
lished the reputation of being the
most liberal and broad minded in Mis-
sissippi's history, and the low pres
sure crowd was in a hopeless minor
ity throughout the two sessions. The
state will be satisfied if the body can
be duplicated at the election next
wear.

PECULIAR CASE
Taken to Supreme Court-Indicted
For Selling Whisky.
Special to the Daily Progress.

OPCCldA W bHS Ddtly FTOSTCSS.
jackson, Nov. IL An appeal has
been taken TO the supreme court in a
very peculiar case tried at the recent
session of the circuit court in Goa
homa county. Charles Cook was il
dicted and arraigned for selling liquor
without license, and as a defense he
claimed that his saloon was located
in the jurisdiction of Arkansas, and
is therefore not subject to the laws of
Mississippi. He exhibited Arkansas
license for which over $500 had been
paid, and maps were produced of that
point of land Oh which the saloon is
located, about one mile south of Fri
ar's Point, is ON the Arkansas side.
Surveyors testified to this effect, but
the prosecution showed that the land
is Mississippi territory and became so
by secretions formed from the MISS
sippi shore, and not from the Horse
Shoe Island further down the river.
The problem is a complicated one,
and it is understood that the defense
will endeayor to get the supreme court
to transfer the case to the federal
court, as the liquor Laws of the two
states are involved Cook was con-
victed in the Coahoma court, and the
sheriff has attached his saloon and the
stock of liquors on hand.

TROUBLE IN YAzOO CITY
On Account of the Issue of NUM-
cipal Bonds.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Yazoo City, Nov. 17.-This city is
having considerable trouble in work
ing valid issue of Sl75, 600 in munic-
ipal bonds to be issued in establishing
waterworks, electric lights and sewer
age. The plans for the three systems
were drawn some time ago by Walter
@. kirkpatrick, city engineer of Jack
son, and few days ago the issue was
sold to Cleveland and Atlanta capital
lists for a premium of S., 200 Pro-
tests have been filed, however, by sew
eral citizens on the ground that the
amendments TO the city charter au-
thOrizing their sale are not consistent
with sections 3039 of the code of 1892,
and delay of severalv months will
result as it will be necessary to carry
the matter to the circuit court and
thence to the supreme court.
Owing to the fact that no question
of legality was raised by the pur-
chasers of the bonds, but on the con-
trary they were sold at a good pre-
MUM, the delay is regarded as very
unfortunate.
