New York, May 1S.-The cotton
market opened strong at an advance
of 661S points under surprisingly high
Liverpool cables and during the en-
tire session ruled very active and gen

day than during any previous session

morning and while at first he would
make no statement as to his plans or
opinions. 1t became very evident that
his arrival was to be taken as the
signal for aggressive buying on the part
OF the bull contingent. Still after the

weather bureau report will not be en-

of Texas poor reports exceed the good
ones, and as we are now nearing June,
the crop should be making much bet

be overthrown while an absence of

position. The receipts are again pet

SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 46Ac. bid, sales none,
and closed firm, at 47c., sales so casks.
The demand during the early hours
was light, and little inquiry was re-
ported. 1t looked to factors that the
day was to be an uneventful one. To-
wards the closing a better demand de-
veloped, however, and following sharp
competitive bidding by domestic ex-
pOrters the price rose to the closing
figure, at which the market was firm.
During the balance of the day the de-
mand was reported good, and up to
the time for leaving a wholesome and
satisfactory demand was reported.
Better weather was reported from the
belt, and it is believed that following
this, operators will be able to gather
the product more rapidly. Receipts to-
day 422 casks, and the exports 531 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market closed
firm and unchanged from Saturday,
with opening sales of APO barrels. The
receipts were 1,O65 barrels, and the ex-
ports 6,235 barrels. The demand was
moderate throughout the day. Prices

Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1903-05-06

A rather funny thing happened al
Hayes Bluff on the Mississippi river
recently. Two negroes were swung
up charged with the murder and rob.
berry of white man. an account OF
which appeared in the Progress few
days ago. Both negroes had ropes
tied around their necks and showed OFF
bridge. But it seems that the rope
around the neck of one of the nergoes
broke and he fell sixty feet below into
the water. The crowd supposing
that either the fall had killed him or
he would drown paid no more atten-
tion to him and left the place. Now
it turns out that the moose around the
negro neck and his shoes were found
some distance from where he fell and
his tracks leading to the swamp show
ed that he was not killed nor drown
ed, but picked himself up running
and is alive yet. 1t may be presumed,
however, that this negro~will not be
implicated in the murder of a white
man again soon, even if he ever gets
his own consent to stop running.
The next day the other negro was
found dead hanging to the bridge.

WILL APPEAL THE CASE.

The case of the state VS. DR.. J. j.
Harper will be taken to the supreme
court for a rehearing. This conclu-
sion was arrived at a late hour yester-
day evening and all the preliminaries
have been made. While the papers
are being arranged for a review of the
supreme court and during the con-
sideration of the case, Harper will GO
to the Ellisville Jail. A prominent
gentleman who is in a position to
know and who is familiar with such
work says that very likely it will re-
quire sixty or ninety days perhaps for
everything to be put in order and
the supreme court to consider the case
Thus during that time Harper will be
kept at the public bastile of Jones
county.
