John McInnis is great fellow
One reason we like him so we'll is
that he is notorious for always telling
the truth. He knows nothing but the
truth and would tell it even if he
were on fishing frolic The other
day he told the Progress editor that
he and the balance of his railroad
commission had not ordered union
depot built in Hattiesburg was be-
cause the city was growing so
rapidly that in very short time an
other depot would likely come.
This is the storyas he tolec it, and
he said he had witnessed to prove
what he said. But we kind O. think
that this is a fish story. If the Hon.
orable John or any other member Of
the railroad commission has ever
been in Hattiesburg on Official business
it was during the time all the natives
were asleep. But John is a candi
date and it would be wrong for the
Progress to mention these short-com-
ings until the election is held. He
will be reelected as he should be, for
there is less danger in him doing any
thing wrong than any other man in
the state, for if the commission as a
whole has ever done anything, right
or wrong, it never leaked out.

CANDIDATES GROW BELLIGERENT.
Senator Noel and N. A. Rowan
Come Near Having Personal
Difficulty.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, June 29.-The first APP
prach to what might have been a
serious personal clash between candi-
dates is reported from Brushy Fork
The participants, according to a story
from that place, were Hon. E. F.
Noel, candidate for governor, and DR..
E. A. Rowan, candidate for the state
senate Both men were members of
the Legislature at the last session, and
DR.. Rowan is warm Vardaman par-
tisan. Mr.. Noel was giving his hear
ers brief synopsis of his stewardship,
| and among other things referred to his
| labors in behalf of the bill to exclude
from the public schools children
whose fathers had not paid poll tax
At this juncture DR.. Rowan arose
and stated that he was the author of
the bill, and that Mr.. Noel had OPP
posed instead Of supported it, and that
Noel succeeded in preventing its pass
sage, at the same time calling Mr..
Noel some unseemly names.
A personal combat was rapidly
brewing, and had it not been for the
interference of bystanders might have
terminated in a knock down and drag.
out affair. The excitement of the
moment prevented Senator Noel from
| proceeding with his speech. The
witnesses are generally agreed in the
statement that DR.. Rowan's attitude
was uncalled for.
This is not the first time during
the campaign that Mr.. Noel has beer
in belligerent attitude. Some time

OUT OF THE FOOLISH HOUSE.

Some time ago the Progress con

that it was an insult to the voter ia

be bought and that Judge CrItz was

the report through letter to the
Greenwood Commonwealth, and who.
it is claimed, has just escaped from
the foolish house, writes the Progress
the following letter, which is pub
