Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-07-09

It occurs to the Progress that there
should be an extra session of the leg
islature to repeal the valued policy
clause of the Insurance law since the
hardship Of the law falls upon the
farmer. OF course there is a much
heavier expense whore each bale Of
cotton has to be insured than where
tie cotton is insured in a bulk and
this expense will come out OF the
jeans pockets of the farmer. Since
the convention of the business men
OF the state was held at Jackson a
week or two ago people gen orally are
taking considerable interest in the
matter and it is now believed That
such a pressure VIII be brought to
bear on the governor that he will call
an extra session soon and that the
evil will be remedied.

THELreHrIs BREAKING.

In discussing the treasury scandal
trials now on at Jackson, the Mem
phis Scimitar's correspondent at that
place writes: 1.-THE citizens of jack
son are congratulating themselves
that they perhaps got an up-to-date
electric car line by and through this
deal, as Mr.. Jones. Of Memphis, the
man who borrowed the money, was
the promoter and builder of the line.
1t is a really cold day when Jackson
fails to get or tries to get all she can
for nothing; it doesn't matter who
paws the bills or how the funds are
raised. -Natchez Bulletin.
This explains the matter to GER
tain extent.
The Progress has often wondered
why it was that Jackson shielded,
protected and even honored men
who had wronged the state.
The chief actor IN the latest treas
ury affair was made manager of the
New Century theater soon after his
treasury speculations were discov-
cred.
The sentiment of the city was
largely toward the defendants as
shown by the finding of the jury in
the Rush case, contrary to the law,
the evidence and the instructions of
the court.
What caused this sentiment?
Perhaps this largely explains the
matter: The citizens of Jackson
are congratulating themselves that
they perhaps got an up-to-date cleo
trio car line by and through the
deal"
This is the milk in the cOcoanut.
tits just possible that some of the
leading citizens Of Jackson knew OF
the deal and approved of it. Be this
as it may, Jackson seems to be q
deeply Interested party.
The Bulletin is right. Jackson is
out for all in sight-especially if it is
ANYTHING belonging to or connected
with the state of mississippi.

who believes that Grover Cleveland
