and the local cotton buyer without
any insurance on it, but as soon as it
goes into the hands of the big cotton
factor it viii be insured as hereto
fore.
It is contended By some that the
local agents viii go ahead and insure
cotton as they did while they had
the blanket law under which to
work, but this is a mistake. Besides
not being inclined to take such a
risk it would take one side of meet
ing house to make out the policies,
For instance Mr.. Jones has a lot OF
cotton running from l to 100 in NUM-
Der on which he wants insurance
This is all right, but when Mr.. Jones
disposes of No. 3 ore or any other
number the policy must be changed
or he still carries insurance on the
entire lot, and should his cotton be
burned and he had taken from the
lot any number of bales he Will still,
unless the policies are rewritten
every time such change is made,
receive the foil amount of insurance
on the entire lot of cotton. Hence il
will be seen that no insurance com.
pany is willing to take the risk anC
therefore the cotton while in the
hands of the comprises Will go unin
sured.
Thus In case of a fire the loss would
be total and the congresses, the
local buyer or the farmer would b'
the loser. But on the other hand /
the entire lot was covered by fin
blanket policy as heretofore the In
surance companies would be th
losers.

CRIMES IN SIMPSON.
Five Murders committed in the

Five Murders committed in the
County in Few Months.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug. 1.-Simpson county,
one of the CRIME centers of Missis-
sippi, seems to have been but little
benefited by the civilizlng influence
of new railroad, and at the circuit
court term which convenss next
month very large criminal docket
will be called for trial. Within the
past few months there have been five
murders committed In the county,
three of them being cold-blooded and
unprovoked. The better element of
citizenship in the county deprecates
the reign of lawlessness and is urging
that summary steps be taken to put
it in check. Charles Mullins, who
killed his son-ln-law In the county a
few days since, has been admitted to
bail in the sum of $4,000.

1t is now pretty we'll understood

One thing is certain and that is chat

BOARD OF TRADE.

The organization of board of
trade in this city, the charter of
which wilE befoundzi today's Pro-
gress, will have a most wonderful eff
feet on our business people as every
one will eoncede who has studied the
matter. Heretofore there has been
no such organization and hence no
excuse or opportunity for an ex-
change of.ideas and opinions on pub
lie questions pertaining to the well
fare Of the city. Our business men
never met except in a casual way
when they passed few words and
went their way. But at the board of
trade meetings it will be different
where subjects will be discussed and
schemes planned for thesbetterrnent
of the business interests ef the city.
The hall will be elegantly furnished
and every convenience provided for
the comfort of the members of the
organization when it is called to-
gether.
The seventy-six men who have
placed their names on the charter
list are our most substantial citizens
and they mean business, each and
every one of them. The 81 800 OF
more subscribed is an assurance that
they mean business, and the fact
that charter will be applied for and
that all the proceedings so far have
been conducted in business-like
way goes to show that the board Of
trade of Hattiesburg is going to be
the strongest factor in this city fol
the city's good. 1t will be a com
mercial school within itself and The
practical and successful business
men of the city will be the teachers
/ We predict that the board of trade
VIII establish factories here and viii
be the means of developing this sec

Augusta Dealers Hope for Coal

The cheerful news that the coal strik..

versa ton about the streets. yesterday.
Everybody was pleased that the long
drawn out struggle would soon be at
an end and that the mining of coal
would begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The local dealers in coal were deluge.i
with inquiries as to the time when coal
may reasonably be expected in this
city. The almost invariable answer
was that while it is impossible to def
nitely state the exact date when coal
will arrive here. the dealers We're con-
fidcnt that 10y the first of November
coal sufficient to supply the temporary
wants of the people will be landed in
Augusta. One dealer said:

no reason to doubt that in two weeks

small quantities. but in sufficient
amounts to tide over the shortage un-
til vessels may reach here with their
large cargOes. The first instaliments
will probably come by railroad and
may cost more than would be the case
il the coal came by vessel. In ordinary
years there is n difference in the cost
of bringing coal by rail and by vessel
of at least s. "a ton in freight charges.
This year. however, there may not be
so large a difference, as the vessel that
charters for Augusta in November OF
December must take extra risk of get
ting iced in for the winter. and there
fore vessel freights are likely to be
pretty high. .fos
II feel confident that by the first day
of November will be able to distribute
small lots of anthracite coal to my GUS
toners. and l also believe that by Dec.
Il I can fill the coal bins of all my for
mer patrons and perhaps those of new
customers.
The price of wood has got to drop.
now that the strike is ended. and those
who have been holding out for 81

half that figure before winter fairly
sets in. Coal may cost anywhere from
IS TO 50 Il ton. this winter. contingent
upon the freight charges of railroad or
vessel. If the freight charges are " a
ton more than last year the coal must
necessarily bring that amount more at
least. A; all events the people OF Au-
-usta are feeling happy to realize that
the prospect of getting coal at an!
price is so promising.
