DANTZLER'S LETTER.
HE WRITES TO THE PROGRESS AND SAYS
HE'S SORRY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.
Has Been a Bad Boy all His Life,
But is Now Ready to Die.

Yesterday a Progress reporter
called OH Will Dantzler, the negro
who is to be hanged tomorrow and
asked him If he had anything to say.
He expressed a desire to write piece
and have it published. The writing
is not good and the spelling is mostly
wrong, so it has been put In at least
a readable shape-so far as the SPELL
ing goes. Here is the statement:
William Dantzler was condemned
to die at circuit court held July 2,
1902. He are very sorry it was be-
cause he did wrong. What more can
/ say, but say j have done wrong.
But if / had life to go over again /
would keep from doing wrong. O!
What bad boy 1 have been all the
way during my life. could have
been a better boy, but / call on the
Lord In my distress and he has heard
me and he has forgiven me for all my
sins and wrong doings. o, friends
Take warning after me and don't
ever die as I will, because you can
keep from it, both white and black.
1t is not disgrace to die on scat
fold If you are ready to die. If you
die In your bed and are not ready,
yeu Will go to hell ard if you die on
the scaffold and are not ready you
will go to hell just the same. o, my
friends, you all are satisfied now, but
how many can say that they will be
ready when the last day comes. Bear
it in mind.

PAID OFF THE DEBT.
First Baptist Church Members Are
Happy.

First Baptist Church Members Are
Happy.
The membership of the First Bap-
fist church of this city is rejoicing
greatly over the fact that the church
debt has been liquidated and that
they are entirely out of debt in every
respect. When their elegant brick
building, which is one of the finest
IN the state, was finished 1t was
found that the church had to involve
itself, above what money they then
raised, to the amount of $1,000. About
three months ago 1t was decided to
wipe out this debt and pay off the
last cent of this Indebtedness. This
has been done and the last note can
celed paid
This church, being now out of debt,
will proceed to make other improve
ments.
It is a credit to pastor and congre-
CATION that this work was so quickly
done. Since Mr.. Trotter has been
here 1l6 new members have been
added and the total membership is
4O7. This is a good showing and the
Progress congratulates the Baptists
on their wonderful success.
