SOME FINE FRUIT.

Henry Chiles. who works at the
Newman mill, brought in and pre-
scented to the Progress this morning
a basket of the finest pears ever rails
ed in the state. They are known as the
LaCont variety and were grown by
his mother on her farm eighteen
miles north of Meridian in Lauder
dale county. She has about eighty
trees and they bore we'll this year.
From those presented to the Prog
ress one would Judge that MISSISSIPPI
pi is the banner state for the produc-
ton of this delicious fruit, and there
is fortune i'm them to the man who
will take hold of the industry right

He Was Convicted of Carrying Con-
cealed Deadly Weapons
BEING CONVEYED TO COUNTY FARM.
Is Now in Hospital With Chances
of Life Against Him.

Last week a negro, Will Gibbs, got
into a difficulty with another negro
at Make and hit him over the head
with a shovel. Then he shouldered
couple of pistols and left, hoping to
make his escape. He came up as far
as McLaurin when be attempted to
"soak" one Of the short-shooting
guns, having more than he thought
was necessary to defend his bad rep
utatIOn.
The officers of that beat getting on
to his racket hunted up the negro
and arrested him. He was tried be-
fore the justice of the peace and fined
in the sum of fifty dollars. This was
more than Mr.. Niger expected and
he began to plan in his mind how to
make his escape, as a few months on
the county farm might tan his hide
and interfere with the regular game
of craps. Besides it would knock
him out of just so many months of
loafng.
Immediately after the sentence he
was securely tied about the hands
and Saturday night was put on the
passenger train in charge of depu-
ty to be brought to Jail in this city.
Between Ralston and Palmer's cross
ing the train by some means slowed
mp when Mr.. Niger, who had fully
weighed the plan of escaping in his
mind, made break for the door with
the officer in close pursuit. He
grabbed the handhoId of the steps
and inst as he was swinging himself
to the ground the deputy pushed his
short-shOoting gun up against his
right shoulder and pulled the trigger.
But the negro went off just about the
time the gun did. The tram did not
stop and the deputy came on to the
city. A few hours thereafter some
one came along and found the negro
lying on the side of the road badly

shot: he was brough to this city and
put IN the Gulf and Ship Island hos
pital where the bullet was cut out of
the front part of his body, having
gone through his body, also one of
his lungs, and lodging under the skin
in front.
His wound was dressed ana he was
resting as We'll as could be expected
yesterday morning, but this morning
he was not doing so well and the
probability is that he will die. He
is not considered a very bad negro,
though bad enough to get into
trouble.

The Progress today contains the
proceedings of the democratic exec
tive committee (which was held in
the city this morning. It VIII be
seen that it was ordered that
none but white democrats would be
allowed to hold office or to particl-
pate in the primaries. If the Prog
ress is not mistaken there are some
men now on the board Of aldermen
who are known as republicans and
so far as we know they have made
good members. 1t has been expect
ed and so stated that they would be
candidates for reelection, but this
order will debar them. While the
Progress believes strongly IN the
principles of the democratic party it
does not believe there should be any
politics in the next municipal cleo
ton, as there was none in the last,
amp that men who own property and
have as much interest in the future
prosperity of the city as any one,
though those men would oppose po-
litical views, should not be debarred
from taxing part in the election of
men who are to shape the destiny of
the city.

From all sides, Burma. Tonquin, etc.

Rev Workers who CLAIM Residence
Elsewhere Mast Prove Claims.

New Workers Who Claim Residencs
Elsewhere Mast Prove Claims.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Persons who
live in New York part of the year and
who claim exemption from personal
taxation OIL the ground Of acquired res
idence in other states will have an op-
portunity to prove the justice of their
claims before the tax commissioners
after May IL, when hearings will be
bad in all such cases.
A list of such persons has been pre-
pared, and, as it is alphabetically ar
ranged, Mrs. Caroline W. Astor, who is
assessed $25O.0 600 and who has estab-
lishcd residence in Rhode Island un1
der the so called Gerry act, will be one
of the first summoned.
Speaking for the board of tax COM
missioners yesterday. Commissioner
Gillespie declared that it had been de-
termined that technical residence in ait
other state would not be accepted as
evidence of right to exemption. In
every case where exemption is claimed
on the ground of nonresidence the
claimant will be required to prove that
he is bona fide citizen of another
state and that his residence here is
merely incidental.
Besides Mrs AstOr there are dozen
or more New Workers who will be af-
fected by this decision. The total of the
assessed valuations on personality
which this decision will affect is some
thing more than S:',ONO,O00.

the amount was SO small as to bo
perfectly harmless to the human sys-I
TEN, and he was borne out in this
conlcLtiouby the testimony of a mum,

to the ucicnsc's testimony.
