And Consequently There Viii be
More Work for the Hangmen.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson. August 5.-The country
press brings news of several ugly
killing affairs which have occurred in
the state during the past few days,
and which failed to get into the tele-
graphic dispatches, being in remote
sections Of the commonwealth.
In Tallahatchie county Attic ALL
son, white farmer was shot and
killed by his neighbor, John Little,
and the affair has created considera-
ble.ugly feeling in the neighborhood,
causing the fear that more trouble
will follow. 1t is believed that Lit
tie had an accompllce, and that the
killing was carefully planned. The
dead man had testified before the
grand jury that Little had been sell
ing whiskey, and this was the direct
cause of the murder.
A deadly shooting affair occurred
in Pearl river county Friday, and as
the result Homer Bennett lost his
life and his father-in-law Jonas
Crawley, was wounded. The shots
were fired by Cullen Gates and was
the result of an old feud. Gates is
still at large.

Governor Will Not Call Session and
Things Will Go on as Before.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug 5.--The insurance stu
alton in Mississippi is still in statu quo,
and there has been no frightening of the
prospects for an extra session to repeal
the valued policy clause so as to permit
cotton insurance under blanket policies.
The railroads are going ahead with
active preparations to remove the crops
to the congresses as quickly as possible
and the insurance companies are send
ing blanks to their LEGAL underwriters
for policies to be issued by marks,
weights and numbers. 1t is also re-
ported that Memphis and New Orleans
congresses are arranging to take ad-
vantage of the Mississippi situation and
will greatly increase their facili les,
According to reports received by an
insurance journal, sixty per cent CT the
companies doing business in the state
are willing to take cotton risks, provid
ing the vaIued policy clause is partly
repealed, and this lack of unanimity
among the companies is one of the rea-
sons why the governor will not call the
special legislative session.

Nv here is Paul" he questioned
but Paul had waited only to hear
a few words, and was then half way
to the stable for a horse, but the
poor excited child had left hat, sad
die and bride behind.
One of the little boys ran after
him with hat and bride, and IN a
few minutes he had brought the
horse to the gate, saddled him, and
ran to the house for his gun. Cousin
VIII had his gun also lying across
his saddle in front of him. They
knew if they were found at the house
they would be carried off, and per-
haps the house burned because fire
arms were found there.
The Union soldiers often threat
ened, when they were searching
houses, to burn the house if guns or
pistols were found; but there were
a few instances, known to the writer
of this story, where they made it
convenient not to find the guns, al
though they were almost in plain
view.
The man and boy sat but a few
minutes, listening and wondering,
and trying to console the poor fright
ened women and children, whom
they were leaving alone. Don't be
uneasy, we would stay with you if
we could protect you, but what
would we two be against so many?
We would be sure to be talen or
killed. We won't go far away.
Hang up a white sheet or something
when all danger is over so we can
know when to come home," and then
they wheeled their horses and start
ed for the woods.
This hanging out something white
was the usual signal to those IN hid
ing that it was safe to come home.
When the men were gone the sis
ters looked at each other in their
helplessness. "What can it mean,"
said Fanny. What do all those
noises mean? / cannot imagine

1.-The raid that came down day be-

her teeth chattering as ii she had an
