MARVELLOUS MAN
A Visit to the Newman Lumber
Company'S Plant.

Man, though frail and inconsistent,
often rises above his meagre surround
ings and scars far higher than this
realm of skeptical illusions into a
land of material execution. Yester-
day evening reporter for the Prog
ress paid visit to the Newman Lum-
Der Company's mills and went
through them. On every side all was
hustle and the constant buzz of the
saws, bursting forth with the song of
tireless laborer, echoed through the
halls of the mills. Men rushed to and
fro in attendance upon their special
functions. The steady hand of the
operators guided by the wisdom of
years experience controlled machinery
and material worth thousands of dol
lars, that would have been lost by the
least deviation from the correct
course. Lives rested in the hands of
a few
1t is wonderful to contemplate the
skill of human ingenuity. Machines
for every purpose were operated and
only the guiding hand of the i'm
mortal Creators most perfect creation
was necessary. Thousands of feet of
timbers are cut up in a day and con-
verted into acceptable building ma
terial.
The grounds are entered by railroad
tracks and are furnished with every
Logs are unloaded
from the cars into a branch Of the
river flowing along beside the plant.
Here they are classed and feed to an
automatic carriage and conveyed to
the saws, where they are converted
into lumber The various methods of
saving the logs is marvellous and
the dispatch with which they are
into smooth and we'll
trimmed shapes in so short time is
calculated to make even the most
stupid of block headed men stop and
admire the inventors genii.
Steel carriages convey the rough
lumber to the machines for dressing
it. Along the line of this passage can
be seen, here and there, men who
guide and assort it. 1t enters each
machine as intended and is converted
into rafters, sills, moulding, flooring,
baseboards, or ceiling as is intended.
No waste except the bark is evident.
Pieces long enough for laths are used.
The remainder is made into stove
wood.
A view from a purely spectators
at this wonderful piece OF
mechanism will stir the vanity of
and cause fools to be proud
of the fact that they are the same
creation as the masters of these inven-
tions.
This mill is credit to Hattiesburg
and Mississippi. 1t can truthfully
be said to be equal to almost any mill
in the south. A few more industries
Of this kind will hasten the inevlta-
BILE and approaching magnitude of
Magic City.

Between Prominent Citi.
zenS of NOxubee
THEY FOUGHT AND THEY FIT,
But No One Was Hit by Can
non Ball.
ALL on ACCOUNT OF A NEGRO
Was the Fight Between Prominent
Farmers.

Macon, Jan. 27.-Word has just
reached here of desperate but blood
less pitched battle between four white
men over Il negro laborer in which
fully forty shots were fired.
Billy Binion and Frank Baker on
ono side and Will Oliver and his
brother on the other were the combat
tants The story is about as follows:
1t seems nergo on the Oliver place
applied to Frank Baker for land to
work and Baker rented him land
The nergo went to Dancy to work
with Baker. The divers, it is said.
went after the negro and carried him
backg on their place. Then Binion
and Baker went to the Oliver place to
see the nergO and move him to Ba-
ker's land but couldn't find him. At
this juncture of the trouble there
were some negotiations as to settle
ment, but the parties failed to agree
on terms. Yesterday, after several
days of controversy, III which lit
seems it was the effort of the divers
to hold the negro and the determine
tion of Baker to have him or damages
for his detention, Baker and BiniOn
went again. The nergo was plowing
in front of a cabin. AS soon as the
negro saw Baker and BiniOn coming
he made for the woods encouraged by
the sound of some four or five shots.
Here viii and Bob Oliver issued from
the cabin and the rapid firing began,
the Olivers using shot guns, pistols
being the weapons of the other side
Between thirty-tiye and forty shots
were fired, when the ammunition of
Baker and Binion became exhausted.
This was announced and the shooting
was suspended ON both sides to give
Baker and Binion time TO get more
ammunition. After a time Baker and
Binion came back, with rifles this
time, and found the divers at Bob
divers, but there was no more
trouble as it seems the matter was
satisfactorily settled. No one was hit.

Who Has Been Playing
a Prominent Part
In THE INDIANOLA POSTOFFICE
Controversy Which Has Been
Going on for Some Time.
HE HAS PLAYED A LARGER PART
In That Game Than Was at First
Supposed.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Jan. 2S.-The news from
Washington that President Roosevelt
will not give out all Of the cOrrespon-
dence relative to the IndianOla post
Office, and stating that the publicity
of one letter would be against the
interests of the public service Is re-
ceived with much interest here owing
to the current belief, based on we'll
defined reports that E. S. Wilson, the
republican referee for Mississippi, has
played a larger part in the pOstOtfice
muddle than has yet been made pub
lie, and that he has given the presl-
dert some advice additional to the
now famous objuration TO Stand by
Minnie, The statement has been
made without contradiction that Viii
son knew the mass meeting was going
to be held and that he played a more
or less conspicuous part in its preliml-
naries, and had already decided upon
a person to put into the Office in case
the president allowed the woman to
'go out --without closing the office.
The Indianola press is in possession
of all the facts relating to Wilson's
part in the affair, and the referee is
being denounced in vigorouus Ian
guage. The following from the cur
rent issue of the Sunflower Enterprise
is sample of the editorial utter
ances: "There is not a nergo in Sun
flower county that we do not think
more of than that miserable, white
faced negro lover, Edgar 5. Wilson" "

jackson, Jan. 2S. Much anxiety is
how manifested in the proceedings of
the Kinds county grand jury, which
will adjourn within the next two or
three days. Interest is centered in
fhe charge that Ex-Treasurer Showers
loaned funds from the state treasury
To the local banks of Jackson, and
whether indictments will be brought
kgainst Mr.. Showers and the local
bankers as a sequel to the charge. 1t
Il learned that much quiet pressure
has been brought to bear to prevent
he finding of indictments, and as the
banks have a strong inf ence in the
community, the belief is somewhat
Brevalent that the grand jury will ad-
burn without bringing indictments,

Iffered.
