By FRIENDS TO ENTER RACE.
With the Probability That He Will
Concede to Their Wish.
Some Other Candidates Who Will
Make the Race Quite
Interesting
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June "A strong effort is
being made by the friends of Hon.
Wiley p. Nash of Oktibbeha, to in
ducs him to enter the race for COVER
nor next year, and it is asserted with
some degree of confidence by few
of his supporters that he will be quite
likely to take part in the fight. Gen.
Nash held the office of attorney
general during the administration of
Governor McLaurin and has a strong
following in the northern counties.
1t is asserted with assurance that
State Senator Noel, author of the
new primary election law, will be-
come a candidate, and that his
formal announcement will be made
in due course of time. During the
week there has been a revival Of the
report that Judge f. A. Critz of West
Point, is likely to enter the race.
With the candidacy of Msssrs. A,
A. Kincannon, J. T. Harrison, Mon
roe McClurg, A. j. Russell and James
X. Vardaman almost positively as.
sured and Messrs. Noel, Nash and
Critz as probable candidates the
gnbernatorial race assumes new
aspect, and each move on tn,
political eheckerboard will be mar
rowly watched from now on.
Among the political wIseacre
Prof. Kincannon is regarded as th
leading candidate at present, blu
there is no certainty that he can con
tinue to retain this position.

ROBBING THE NEGRO

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 3.-E. r. Gage, a
prominent negro citizen Of Claiborne
county, has raised a lusty protest
against the National Industrial
Council which was organized at
Jackson last July. He claims that
the council Is ievying an assessment
on ignorant negroes to defray the ex-
penses OF the so-called eX-slave pen
sion legislation now pending before
congress, and warns all members of
the race not 10 permit the ten and
and twenty-five assessments now be
ing made fraudulent certificates.
The negroes Of Mississippi during
the past few years have been mulct
of thousands of dollars by the ex-
slave pension scheme, and it seems
impossible to convince large ma
jority of the members of the race
that It would be an absolute impos-
sibility to get such legislation
through congress.

THE AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS.
louisville Post.

J The afternoon newspaper is the
} paper the people read. 1t goes to
} The home to be read around the
} fireside by every member of the
! family.
Each season marks the growth
of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as i'll Cincinnati. Ia
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st. Louis ana Nashville, the after
} noon newspapers have the cir
} culation and the advertising, and
, spend the money.
/ This is especially true at st.
Louis and indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession Of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once
; week, but two or three times
} week, II, pear with seventy five,
} eighty five, min ty or one hundred
} columns of advertising.
) This is in accordance with The
I laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with great
plant and large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
seasons. He must make each day
count, and he must push his bust
} ness if ne does not wish to have
! his business push him. So TO get
! in touch with the buying public,
. to lei the shoppers of the city and
state know what be has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news
, papers. Thus it is that not here
alone. but all over the country, the
afternoon newspaper goes for
) ward. while the morning compila-
! ton stands still or goes back.

WAS HELD PRISONER
WITHOUT BEING
ON RECORD
JAMES L. VAN sTAVoREN LOST
HIS MEMORY AND WOKE TO
FIND HIMSELF IN
AcELL.

James L. Van Stavoron. who arrived in
Atlanta Thursday night from Newman,
remembers nothing after Friday morn
ing when he says he met his brother and
saw him of on the train. After that he
does not know what happened until he
found himself at police headquarters and
the police are as deeply IN the dark as
70 how the man came in as is Van
Stavoren himself. His name does not
appear on the docket and the officers do
not know what the charge is against him.
Van Stavoren said last night he thought
he must have been drugged. He does
not know when or by whom he was ar
rested or on what charge. The supposi-
ton is that he was brought in either
drunk or under the influence Of a drug,
as he thinks. and was unable TO give HIS
name. The arresting officer is not known,
but has probably been looking for case
In court that could not be found. In
some way the man got in without any
record being taken Of him. He was re-
leased last night on copy Of charges.

New Orleans Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE news
from Liverpool this morning was rather
encouraging, but the effect was lost on
this side through the New York Chron-
icle's expressed belief that crop damage
reports have been exaggerated, and that
with frost deferred to the average date,
the yield will fully equal, If not exceed,
that of last year. OF course, there is no
more assurance that this view will prove
correct, that the guesses of other est-
majors yet a number of traders doubtless
think that way and were willing to follow
that idea. The English market scored
an appreciate advance in both depart
ments, which was attributed to the week
ly movement falling below expectations,
and Manchester reporting more hope
full tone. The result here was directly
opposite. The Chronicles announcement
combined with an unfavorable weekly
bank statement, and the usual Saturday
liquidation sent prices ha"'----"-' cd

CHINAMAN AND BOY
HAVE A LIVELY
TINE
HOP LEE WAS ATTACKED BY A
YOUTH WHO WAS CAUGHT
BUT RESCUED BY A
CROWD. \

With a little Chinese baby in each arm,
Hop Lee, of Isl Whitehall street, probably
the best known Celestial in Atlanta. last
night .collared a 10y who had presumably
been teasing him, and would have turned
him over to the police had not some one
in the crowd that gathered snatched the
laS from the Chinaman's grip. The affair
started in front Of the Bijou theatre, on
Marietta, and ended down at the corner
of Marietta and Broad. 1t lasted some 10
or more minutes, and was witnessed by
about a hundred people or more, who i'm
mediately gathered.
Just what was the causelof the difficulty
is not known. The Chinaman had been in
the entrance to the theatre and came out,
when the boy, probably IA or 16 years old,
came running up behind him. There had
evidently been some trouble before. for
both Chinanlan and hey were excited. The
Celestial caught the whiteab boy by the COLI
lar. The two struggled, and one OF the ba-
bies fell to the ground but was soon on its
feet, screaming at the top Of its tiny. ORR
entail voice The boy was about to get
away, and the Chinaman made an extra
strong Jump for him, which sent Him reel
ing against a wagon standing next to
the sidewalk. After that Hop got good
hold, and the boy was not in the tussle
any more.
A crowd Immediately surrounded the
struggling pair. and after several minutes.
during which time there were cries OF
Give the Chinaman fair play, and
Make him let the white boy 60"
As the crowd grew thicker some one
jerked the boy away from the Chinaman
and he ran away. Two policemen arrived
soon afterwards. but no one knew who
the boy was or now the matter had start
{ ed.
To add to the confusion the Chinese baby
that Hop had dropped got lost in the
crowd. Il was found later.

BOUGHT oVERALLS IN ORDER
TO GET HIS PANTS

Aaron Brant. a negro. was bound over
TO the state court Saturday by Judge
Broyles for stealing a pair of pants. The
negro had the pants on in court and the
owner appealed to Judge Broyles to make
him turn them over to him. TIE recorder
thought the owner ought to have his pants
back. but he didn't see how he could send
Brant to Jail without trousers.
You viii have to get something-some
old overalls or anything, for the man to
put on, ruled the court. You are entitled
TO the pants, but / don't see how l can
give them to you now"
The other negro agreed to get pants of
some description for Brant TO wear that
he might get his good ones back.
