RATHER ODD.

The Jackson correspondent oil the
Vicksburg American, speaking OF the
failure of the jury to convict the
blind tiger so .ial clubs Of that city
makes the rather startling announce
ment that the liquor question In
Kinds county is fight between tn
country people and the city people.
That the country people don't want
Jackson to sell whiskey-t Jack
son has notified that liquors will be
sold anyhow, law or no law.
This is strange state of affairs, if
true.
Jackson defies her country friends
and announces that she is bigger
than any law that can be put on the
statute books.
Jackson's reputation in the past
for peace and sobrlety is not one to
be proud Of 1t has been the hot-bed
for the growth of political scheme
and deals and new it declares that i
is greater thar all the balance of the
state and must not be expected to
obey laws that do not suit her par
ticular fancy.
That the correspondent represents
the full sentiment of the city, the
Progress does not believe, for ther'
are many honest and law abidin'
citizens there is certain. 1t Is AIS
equally certain that they are in :
hopeless minority.
But jackson is making mistake

1t is stated In the public prints that
Hon. ADAM Byrd has given a thou
sand dollars towards building a rail-
road from Meridian to Philadelphia.
1t is very necessary that Philadel-
phia should have railroad and it is
very generous in Mr.. Byrd to give
the sum of money mentioned, but
that brings on more talk. He stated
in a meeting held in this city less
than a year ago that the Memphis
and Mobile road would be built at
once and that work would commence
on It within sixty days after the peo-
ole of this city had agreed to give the
terminal lands. The lands Were
promised and Mr.. Byrd and his gang
took their departure after letting i
leak cut on purpose that the road
would be built. We do not blame
Mr.. Byrd much, for doubtless he was
paid to engineer the scheme, and
took the case, just like lawysrsom'
times takes case where he knows
for = certainty that his client is gull
ty aud should be hanged. Seen ate
this there came big dew and th'
creeks got up and Mr.. Pend fell of

It seems that the state has Phil
Rush IN a box with the box Inverted.
That witness Raiford, who could not
or did not tell lie, is a swift witness
and what he said about the contract
between Rush and Banker Armi-
stead was enough and little too
much to be entirely pleasant to those
gentlemen. He told the story in
straightforward way how the state 5
money was loaned by MI, Rush to
the Memphis banker and how, when
the money was to be counted, it was
returned and placed in the vault.
These geetlemen contend that there
is no law against loaning the states
money. But it seems that they were
not certain about this, as the money
was always returned just before the
count was to be made except the last
time when the governor happened in
unexpectedly or at least before the
money could be returned to the vault.
The fact that these men were making
money out of the interest on the loan
Of this money and doing it secretly
shows that they were we'll aware OF
the fact that they were violating the
law. 1t appears at this distance thai
Mr.. Rush has rushed himself into
place where wise men would no
trod. He took the chance of being
caught. Luck was against him anc
hence he has gone up against some
thing very solid.

Sundays that we have ever experience
ed. There was not thing under the
sun that gave it the appearance Of
the glorisus fourth. Every business
house was closed and all the banks
and as far as we know all the
churches. The newspapers failed to
get out editions and the ice cream
freezers seem to have been choked
up and there was not the least AMI
nation IN the city.
The night before and yesterday
several Hattiesburg citizens went u[
to Laurel. Some went out to the
springs near here while others go
newspapers and read and slept allday
Late in the evening and at night
there was feeble effort of some O.
the kids In the city to shoot some
fireworks given them, but the noiss
seemed to be Il last years number ant
refused to produce the enthusiasm
expected and the boys, becoming
