The Phoenix Steam Laundry will
shut down Christmas holidays for the
purpose of putting in more machinery.
1t has recently purchased Watkins
collar and cuff ironer, the best made
it is claimed, and a Shaw collar and
cuff shaper. Hattiesburg can boast
of having the best laundry in the
state and it gets pretty much all the
work it can do, which is evident that
il is managed ON business principles.

Now the prohibitionists. after
bringing the state into disrepute by
forcing the blind tiger on nearly
every county, are to make another
break at Jackson on the liht of Feb
ruary. They will hold mass meet
ing and advocate statutory law to be
passed by the next Legislature which
law will do just about as much coed
as the present blind tiger law. The
more the prohibition law is stirred
the more il stinks like whiskey and
the less good effect it has. If the
state had dispensary law it might
have some good effect, but every time
the whiskey law is tempered with in
any form it just makes it that much
worse. Men are buying whiskey In
prohibition towns in the state every
day and perjuring themselves to keep
the dealer out Of trouble. There has
been more false swearing on this score
than there ever was IN horseswap-
ping, and this is deliberate without
any good excuse while in the other
it is a matter of strict business. 1t il
hoped the whiskey question will be
settled in this state some day, but the
outlook just now is very slim.

A wealthy man of New Orleans was
fined twenty five dollars for riding in
the negro apartment of Jim Grow
car. He refused to move when asked
10y the conductor, hence the fine. At
the same time the management of the
street car line of Mobile will test the
law in that city providing for Jim
Crow cars, stating that the law is
taking the negro patronage from the
business. Hence there seems to be a
niger in the woodpile and when a
law effects mans pocket then he
kicks, it does not matter whether the
law is a good and just one or not

COLLEGE GETS The INTEREST.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Dec. AT its session last
evening the supreme court affirmed
Judge Powell's decision in the man.
damus suit brought by the board of
trustees of the Industrial Institute and
College to compel State Auditor Cole
to issue warrant in favor OF the col
lege for the interest on the college
land fund amounting to about s., 900,
and for which the Legislature failed
to make an appropriation at the last
session.
The contention was made by the
board of trustees that the payment of
interest was provided for in the con-
stitution and that a special appropria-
tion bill was not necessary. The su-
preme court holds otherwise, the opin-
ions stating that while some features
of the constitution are exceedingly
self executing, no money can be paied
out of the state treasury without an
appropriation therefor by the legisla-
ture.
The supreme court reversed the life
sentence of Dan Raines, who was con-
victed in the circuit court of Newton
county of murder and new trial will
| be given.

There was funny thing happened
down at Bond last Sunday, and it was
not so funny after all. 1t is stated
that negro actually preached him
self to death, dropping dead i'll the
pulpit. Now it is in order for every
negro down about Bond to take up the
work of preaching and if he does not
drop dead after the lapse of certain
time he may conclude that he was
not called and can go back to
shooting craps.

Mcdonald, the bigamist, who is 10
be tried at Canton soon for having a
multiplicity of wives, will attempt to
take advantage of the insanity act,
and his lawyers will prove that no
sane man would dream of having
more than one wife at the time. But
really an isnane man who afterwards
gets married is very apt to either re-
cover his senses at once or become so
violent as to commit suicide in short
time.

The man who runs up against the
stump land of these old COW counties
now with the expectation of getting
the land for a mere song and hire a
negro to sing the song will find that
he is mistaken. The stump land in
this section has gone up five hundred
per cent in price and is going up a
little every day. The man who
wants any of our stump land or any
other kind had better put in his ap-
plication at once or he will be left.

The Progress learns that the board
of supervisors will not take any ac-

until the next monthly meeting at

the board will let the whole matter

Wingate will be selected as the county

est in the matter except those directly
