APPEAL RECORDS IN MURDER CASES
For Consideration of Supreme Court

Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 19.-AppeaI recods
in ten murder cases with the death
penalty attached have already arriv-
ed for consideration at the coming
session of the supreme court which
convenes on the second Monday in
October, and an equally large num-
Der will arrive before the end of the
first month of the term. Forty crim-
NAL cases in which various crimes
are charged have been filed with the
clerk, and by the opening fully eighty
cases will be docketed. The crimi-
nal buiness to be disposed of by the
court will in all likelihood compare
favorabIy in volume with that of
last year, which was the largest in
the history of the tribunal.

THE TURPENTINE BUSINESS.
The Prices Will Go Higher Because
of the Scarcity.

Turpentine is going to become a high
priced commodity, says the Meridian
Press, and that in very short time; not
through the special influence of trusts r
combines, hut by the very scarcity and
near exhaustion of the product.
Lumbermen and others engaged in
industrial pursuits have long been or
ganized for protection, but not until a
few days ago did the tnrpentine men
meet to consider the outlook for the in
dustry in which they are commercially
engaged Their first annual convention
was held in Jacksonville, Florida, last
week; and was confronted by the ques-
| ton of complete annihilation of the
business, due to the ruthless tapping of
young trees and the rapid depletion of
the pine forests. Ten years ago Norfolk,
Va, was the great naval port of the
United States, five years ago Charleston
was the center of the industry, two year
ago Savannah. and now Jacksonville,
and next Tampa. Professor Herty of
the United States department of forestry
has been called upon and was present at
the convention.
A writer In the New York CONNER
cial states in this connection, that he
has seen young trees no thicker in
diameter than eight inches, boxed; once.
twice, yes. three times, so that a step
ladder was used for the top boxing and
the strip of bark left was insufficientto
gather the sap TO feed the tree. The life
of turpentine tree after the first boxing
is about two years. That means that
after the tap has been taken the third
time the tree must either be cut for
timber or it dies. A trip through the
pine forests of Georgia and Florida will |
demonstrate the reckless manner in
which the boxing has been done, and
worse still, where clearings have been
made, no effort has been made to check |
the growth of scrub oak and saw pal
metto which effectually choke the young |
pine rearing its head where its parent |
stood. Gradually the operators have
been driven south, and today it is esti
mated that at least 100 camps are located |
in Florida alone and about fifty camps |
in Georgia.
Nine hundred operators were at the
convention. Each man has either
bought or covered with options more or
less pine forest, and in spite of his |
knowledge of what the future will bring |
is rapidly killing the goose with the
golden egg. The end is near in the tur-
pentine industry. A few more years
will see a tremendous rise in these COM
modities. and no effort has yet been |
made to restore the depleted forests of !
Virginia Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi, |
North Carolina or Northwestern
Florida, The fiat pine" is indigenous
to these states, it grows rapidly, but is
easily exterminated by the more sturdy
plants which spring up in the forest
clearings.

Insurance Companies Would Not
Accept Repeal of the
CLAUSE RELATIVE TO COTTON ONLY,
The Only Subject on which Action
Would Be taken.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 19.-No surprise was
occasioned here by Governor Longl-
nos refusal to call the legislature IN
extraordinary session to repeal the
valued policy clause of the insurance
law.
In view of ihe fact that the lead
ing insurance companies of the coun-
try had not agreed to write the blank
ct form of policy in case the clause
was repealed as to cotton only, and
that the members of the legislature
declined by an overwhelming major
ity to vote for any repeal save that
pertaining to cotton risks, the gov
ernor could not do otherwise than
decline to convene that body. Since
the incipIency of the trouble the gov
ernor has been anxious to take any
steps within his power to remedy the
difficulty, and personally he is in fa-
vor of the entire repeal of the valued
policy clause, but with no assurance
from the legislators that the repeal
could be secured, except as to cotton,
and the steadfast refusal of the in
surance companies to meet the peo-
pie half way IN the matter, the futil-
ity of an extra session at a heavy ex-
pense to the people was readily ap-
parent.
1t now remains to be seen what the
insurance companies are going to do
about the matter, and a belief is
prevalent In many quarters that ere
many days pass by the old line COM
panIes will be offering to take cotton
risks under blanket policies, and
without marks or numbers.

ONE OF THE BEST PORTS

Gulfport, Sept. 19.-The three
masted schooner, Herald, arrived in
port today with cargo of 1905 bags

gine and smoke stack is now on the

KEMPER'S GOOD BEHAVIOR.
The Moral Condition of the County
Reported Good.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. l9.-Kemper coun-
ty, which heretofore has been quite
prolific IN producing new convIcts
for the penitentiary, sends only two
prisoners to the convict farms at the
recent circuit court session, both
being convicted of minor offenses
and given short terms. In conclud-
ing its report to Judge Hall the
grand jury said:
eve are glad to be able to call the
attention of the court to the fact that
this county is in better condition
morally than it has been in many
years. 1t is evident that the law is
being recognized as supreme, and
the violent and turbulant elements
are slowly but surely yielding to the
force of moral and lawful restraint"

A WORD TO FARM TOILERS
Paine'S Celery
Compound
The Home Friend Of the Farmer and
His Family in the Autumn Season.

After the labors and tolls of the sum-
mer time, and harvesting of crops in
the early autumn, many of our farm
ers, their wives daughters, and sons,
find themselves in condition of
health demanding careful attention if
suffering is to be avoided later on.
Many experience kidney trouble in
some form; with some the liver is
torpid, there is biliousness, nausea
and vomiting, with loss of appetite
and depression of spirits. Thousands
who have been exposed to cold, damp
winds and rains while toiling in the
harvest fields, now feel the twinges of
terrible rheumatism others run down
by worry, overwork, and irregular
dieting are tormented with the pangs
of dyspepsia
To the thousands of rundown, sickly
and half dead men and women in farm
homes we recommend with all honesty
and confidence the workers friend,
Paine's Celery Compound, the only
medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and
vigor to the muscles. Paine's Celery
Compound tones the stomach; it re-
moves poisonous acids from the blood
which cause rheumatlsm it feeds the
weak and diseased nerves and ban
ishes neuralgia tortures it purifies
the blood and gives true vitality and
life The use of Paine's Celery Com
pound in autumn means the establish
ing of perfect physical vigor to
Withstand the rigors of a severe win
ter.
