PUNCTUALITY IN ATTENDING CHURCH IS
GOODNESS.

The Philosopher who said; "Ceani-
ness is next TO godliness, might
have gone further and said: "Punctu-
atty is godliness. The meaning of
'godliness' is god-like- ness. And
God was never behind time. At. one
of the leading churches in this city
and it may be the case at others
there is shameful disregard of
punctuality in attending the preach
ing service, which usually begins at
II o'clocka. N. At thst Aour most of
the pews are vacant; the service be-
gins, and people begin to arrive, and
the ushefs are kept busy seating
them; and this goes ON until the SER.
mon is half over. .
This is inexcusable, and ought to
be made intolerable 1t not. only dis
turbs the minister, but distnrbs the
hearers, and detracts attention. Some
people can't 'help being late: Some
do not try to help it, whifsf some
prefer to go in late, and march duwH
the aisle before full house,
At some leading churches in other
cities the doors are promptly closed
when the preaching service begins,
ana all who are late are shut out at
others the ushers seat the dictated
saints in the back pews- if--there
are any vacant seats there, and il
there are none they have to stand NJ
or retire. There eught.to be correc-

a GOOD MAN GONE
Capt. S B. Rich Dies and His
Body Nov Rests in the Grave.

- ~.
Though not at all unexpected. death
visited the Rich residence last night
and thatsvenerable old MIN, Capt. S.
B. Rich, is no more The first news
of the sad death reahc6d our people
this morning as they came down town
and sad look was pictured on each
face present,
Capt. Rich was in his 10th year.
He was born and reared i'll Kemper
county, this state After that he
moved to State Line, where he lived
about twenty years. Then he moved
to Hattiesburg, where he has lived
with INSTANTLY about ten years.
He had been IN declining health for
a number OF. years, and for the past
year or so not able to leave his house.
He suffered a great deal during the
time, but could get no relief, though
at times he would slightly improve.
His remains. were buried in the city
cemetery this evening at 3:30 with
Masonic orders, of which he was a
true and faithful member.
A very large number of our citi=
zens followed this noble man to his
last resting place and listened with
bowed headsto the sad and impressive
burial ceremonies.
To his noble wife, who had helped
him fight the battles of life through
all these mnay years, and his six chill
dren, all left to mourn his departure,
the people Of Hattiesburg and the
entire state extend the most profound
sympathy. A good man is gone, and
in his days of activity he showed his
good deeds by his work. Peace to
his soul. ).

Miller swears He Murdered Two Men
"a For Pay,

Fof ray
Savannah, Ga, Nov Joe Miller,
the escaped negro convict, who SO
stQutiy pqlntains that he is the pVr-
asfer Of Gugie Boprauin, the white
planter, and his old negro servant.
Fred Taylor, has not varied his tale,
He insists that he is telling the truth,
and that he fired the shots from the
gun that caused the death of the two
men.
The detectives took Miller in a wag.
on TO the spot on the Ogeechee road
where he declares he committed the
crime He pointed out landmarks
and related every incident circdrnstan-
italy Every detail of the revolving
story he told the day before was re-
peated and he illustrated his words
with actions. He indicated the stand
taken by the white man he calls Sapp,
whom he says promised to pay him
$25 to commit the crime He showed
where Bourquin fell and where the
negro fell.
All this illustration did not serve
to strengthen the belief of the detec-
tives. They still incline to the view
that their man is lying. Miller makes
no effort to explain how the bodies
were found on another road, some
miles distant from the point where he
says he committed the murders. The
negro's story is generally discredited
and the mystery that overhangs the
tragedy may not be solved.
