electric ligts and railroads, an opera
that will stage the largest troupe
travelling, and first-class hotel ac-
comodations. The Hotel Cowan is said
by those who travel to equal any hos
telry in the South. The business hous'
es present a city appearance and In
business activity their trade is enor-
NOUS and steadily increasing.
There is little doubt that with the
fine country backing 1t and the excel
lent opportunities and facilities it Of
fers to industrial promoters, the next
census will double the city's present
population on, and that several large fac
tories will be numbered among its
fiourishing and prospering enterpris-
es. The Industrial Convention to be
held here next fall will awaken the
capitalists to a new interest in thisDel-
tl country, of which Greenville is the
center, where they can find on every
hand opportunities for larger dividend
paying investments than their own
homes are offering them.
The railroad and river facilities fol
the handling of Greenville's trade is
now almost equal to the bost in the
state. Its freihgt rates and connec
tlons are surpassed by very few Mis-
sissippi cities. The Wholesale houses
of this city are enabled to send theil
goods 10 every direction at rates fev
cities enjoy. To the progressive spiri
of its citizenship and to the work OF it
Young Mems Business League much o
the advancement of the city is due.

Mans uugratefulness to man was
clearly demonstrated when Green

team Wednesday and accepted a place
in the American Association at Louis

nearly a month before Mr.. Tilford
came here he was advanced $40 90 up
on his request by Manager Hebron +,
and when he got ready to come he did
not have any money and was sent a
ticket. Only a few weeks ago tele-
gram came announcing the serious ILL
ness of his father and telling him TO
come at once. His friends heard OF 1t
and found that he had not the money
to go and they went out among the
people and made up the money for
him. And now for all such acts he
leaves the.team at time when to win

Tilford was at once black listed as he

means now employed and the Der.
rles are being sent to nearby
markets. Savannah is getting a
goodly quantity. The season has
been an unusually short one, due
largely to The weather. Berries
need rain and a good deal of it.
The dry hot weather stopped the
production and the rains of last
week came too late TO revive the
plants. Aside from The wealth.
er the great drawbacks are lack
of system, absence Of business
methods and lack of organization
among our growers and the ease,
the remarkable ease with which
our fruit growers can be and
are heeced. A fruit drummer

ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY.
Three More Prisoners Escape Mon
day Night

Monday night. about S o'clock,
another batch of prisoners es-
capped from The Jail. The same
method of exit was employed as
that of Harry Green, who effected
his escape on April II. viz, mp
ping board from the overhead
celliug and scraping a hole through
the brick and mortar Of the front
gable of the building. The imple-
ment used was part of the brass
faucet of the water pipe. A
blanket twisted into rope helped
them to the ground.
While the prisoners were get
ting out of the Jail enclosure the
noise they made attracted the at
tention Of Mr.. Melvin, the guard
of the chaingang, who promptly
emplied his revolver 1T them.
Four prisoners got away, but one,
less active than the rest, was cap
tured on the railroad track.
After getting out OF the Jail
yard the prisonersAall OF whom

them running across the field by

others coming through the gate

At the request of the authori-
ties the names of the escapes are
withheld from publication for the
present.
No blame in the matter can be
attached to Mr.. Britlon, who
promptly followed in pursuit OF
the jail birds. The escape was
due entirely to the insecure and
wholly defective condition of the
building that is used for county
jail.
