SHOOTING
WINCH OCCURRED LATE YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON
Near Meridian Quarters-No One
InJured-Man Arrested and
Put in Jail.

A young man by the name of G. A.
Thomas, who is resident of Hatties-
burg, came near losing his life late
yesterday afternoon just this side Of
Meridian quarters.
Thomas says he was IN company
with man named Curry, who had
recrntIy come from Make. He had
known Curry only a few days. bat
they had become fast friends. They
decided to go over into Meridian
quarters, and just after they crossed
the bridge over Gordon creek Thomas
says Curry began to act queer-like
he was drunk or crazy. He accused
Thomas of stealing his money and
doing numerous other things and
announced that he was going to kill
him. Curry pulled his pistol, but
Thomas, by strategy, directed his
attention in another direction-tel-
ling HIM whole lot of people were
looking. When Curry turned to see
who was looking Thomas took to his
heels. He says that Curry fired two
or three shots; that he heard two
bullets whiz close to his head, but he
was fleet of foot and soon got out of
harms way, withoutb being injured.
Mr. Moffett was soon on the scene
with his blood hounds and the man
was located on Husband street. and
was promptly arrested and jailed.
CGrry's trial will come up tomor-
row at o'clock before Justice Wall.
There will likely be two charges
against him-one for shooting with
intent to kill and another for carry
ing concealed weapons.

Our Choice.

It is an indisputable fact that Capt.
w. H. Hardy has done more for the
upbuilding and industrial advance
mentof southeast Mississippi than
any any other man can or ever will
do.
It was he who first projected and
was largely instrumental IN the build
ing of the New Orleans and North
eastern railway which has caused the
piney woods section, which was COM
paratively wilderness, to blossom
as the rose.
Splendid cities, towns and villages
have sprung up. Numbers of large
and splendidly equipped saw mill
plants have been established,
churches and school houses have
been built, and higher, advanced
civilization has been the result Of his
efforts along this line.
Later he projected the Gulf and
Ship Island railroad and made its
building a possibility and which has
eliminated into a full grown fact,
and one has but to travel along these
lines of railroad to see the vast bene-
fits which have been derived to the
whole country. Now if Capt. Hardy
could do nothing more he deserves to
be elected to congress as reward
for labors already we'll performed
No one can or will deny the fact that
so far as native ability is concerned
he stands prominently the peer of
any man in the state, and if elected
as he ought to be, he can do the dis
trict as much good as any of his able
competitors. Taking his WORK in the
past as a criterion, we believe he can
accomplish more substantial benefits
to the district than either of them.
In making our choice known for rea-
sons above given, we do not Wish to
be understood as detracting or under
estimating the ability of either of
the gentlemen opposing Capt. Har-
dy, but am willing to say that either
of them if elected would make a good
congressman. Having made known
our choice, we shall do what we can
in an honorable way in support of
Capt. w. III. Hardy's candidacy for
congress- EllisvilIe New South.

THE MAYORS COURT.

The mayor did not have court this
morning as compared with the court
held yesterday morning. In all
there were only four cases and only
two of them in which there was any
beer money. These were for retail
ing and they were fined the regulat-
ed price of $35 and the trimmings.
One other was up for riding on the.
sidewalk and assessed one dollar and
the colored lemonade money.
For fighting, a woman was fined
$3.50 and the costs.
This was the extent of this Morn
ing's court and it took the mayor,
who was in fine humer, about ten
minutes to dispose of all the cases.
Court may be better tomorrow, this
being a kind of off day with the vio-
lators of the law.

upon the heads of the jurymen Sc
we're press criticism. The developments
in the case drawn out Sy this trial were
something surprising for they showed
that the banks of Jackson had been
