took out the note and unfolded it.
The words ran together in letters of
fire:
Dearest little girl

"Devotedly yours,
''G.'
Nolan refolded and resealed the
letter and put it back in his pocket.
He locked the office and passed out
to the street like statue gifted
with locomotion. With bent head
and contracted brows he went. pass
ing without i glance the house
where Elsie Lester lived. Fever be-
gan to burn in his veins where, haE
an hour ago, the blood had seemed
ice 1t flushed his face and set his
eyes afame as he hurried up the
long flight to his room and flung
himself in a chair by the window
He sat there motionless for an hour
staring out through the gathering
dusk.
s'I will do it! There is yet time! 1t
is a coward who fears a weapon! Ii
he stands out-well, 1t is better to
send one soul to hell alone than wait
till it drags another with it,"
He got up, white and 'haggard, and,
going across the room to his trunk
knelt down and opened it. Nervous
searching brought out something small
and shining He turned to the Hght'
with shaking fingers, and examined
it carefully, cooking and uncock1ns
it softly. Some one tapped at his door.
Lady in the parlor to see you, SIR
said the maids voice.
Like flash, the thought came to
him, unreasonably, he told himself
that it might be Elsie. He thrust the
pistol hastily into his pocket, and went
down. trembling in every limb.
4 little figure in brown got up from
the divan. and ran to meet him. Nolan
leaned back against the door post, sick
with revulsion of feeling. 1t was like
a burst of morning air. after a night
spent in Il fever-tainted room.
"Doris!" he calculated.
She stopped short, with half-extend-
ed hand.
'Did YOU know that it was 1?' she
said. with laughing prctense OF injured
feeling. II supposed you would guess
directly. And | came to ask special
favor
Some semblance of their normal eN-
preston was creeping back into Nolan s
bloodshot eyes.
"You know you have only to name II,
Doris" he said, reaching out for her
hesitant hand. "When did you come:
/ did not know you were in town..
'Of course not. Burt. You know
always told you the sixth sense was
lacking in your makeup" (How tact
fully blind to his perturbation the
clear brown eyes were!) "Aunty came
in to shop but our main errand was
to see the art exhibit" Doris contln-
ued "She went back at three, with
a terrific headache. however, insisting
I should stay. as it was my last oppor-
tunity, and get you to take me. tins

unchaperoned. to prefer my request;
that is, if you have no other engage

Nolan. WINGED. and his face grew hot.
He thought of that shining thing in his
hip pocket. and wondered why. on this,
of all nights. she had come. Wen. he
must go with her. that was all, and
trust to fate for the outcome. Grant S
note to Elsie burned above his heart
like living coal. There would yet be
opportunity.

AUAGUSTA COURT

The circuit court at Augusta is get
ting along much better than it did in
this district. 1t has not hanged any
body yet, but it has passed sentenced
on one man, giving him life-tim
job in the penitentiary, and has some
Others badly scared.
Harry Ford, colored, was charged
with killing another negro named
Kid Red at Beaumont on the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City road about
three months ago. The judge was
honest with Harry, as he is honest
with everybody, and told him that
there was one of three things that
would be the result of the trial. He
could plead guilty, in which case he
would be sentenced to the penitentia-
ry for life. But if he wanted to go to
trial it was all right. In this case he
migth come clear or he might be SEN
fenced to be hanged. There was moth
ing at this stage of the game on the
mind of the negro but the idea of be-
ing tied to the other end of a. strong
rope, and not willing to take the risk
of being hanged or the probability of
being acquitted, he plead guilty and
accordingly was sentenced to the pen
itentiary for life.
Ben Lee, another negro, was more
fortunate. He was charged with the
murder Of another negro and asked Cor
trial. He was found not guilty
and hit the ground only in high
places when he took his departure
The Augusta court house is not sup
posed to see him any more.
Robert Farley, one of the crap
shooting coons, seems to be a bad
negro from Bitter Greek. The ne
groes had frolic out in the country
one highland everybody knows
what that means. 1t means a cake
walk that night and a funeral the
next day. The negroes got to cutting
up when some one went in search of
Deputy Sheriff Jim Lambert to restore
peace and arrest the billigerents.
Farley was one of them and he shot
and killed the deputy and is now be-
ing tried for murder.

this week.

BOY IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

Jack Brantley is in trouble again.
Jack is a lad of about 16-years- old
and has been up before the mayor two
or three times charged with theft
He was connected with the robberies
that have been committed in the city
the past few months for which one
or two are serving time on the public
roads while others are out on bond
awaiting to be tried at the next term
of the circuit court, Jack, we under
stand, being one of them.
Jack concluded the latter part of
last week that he was tired of smok-
ing cigarettes and for while at least
would enjoy the pleasures of a few
Havanas. In consequence he went
into Captain Hardy's office, so he is
charged, and appropriated to himself
about one hundred cigars, all that
were in sight. Then he went off and
hid them and some little boys who
saw him doing the hiding informed
the officers who began search for the
boy. He was sharp enough to keep
at a safe distance until Monday
when he was apprehended and taken
in out of the weather and put in jail
where he will be out of the wet and
where he will also remain until he
can have trial.

JACKSON GROWING.
Launches Two New Business En-
terprises, Capitalized Each at
SIOO, 900.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 13.--The steady
business growth of Jackson is en-
phasized by the launching of two
new concerns yesterday, each capa-
tilted at $4,000 and to commence
business within ninety days. The
Grocery end Drug Company is to
erect a handsome business house and
put large force of statesmen on the
road. The Jackson Glass and Brick
Company will commence the manu-
facture of brick under the new
Heuneke system, using sand and
lime and making brick resembling
limestone. Later on a small glass
factory will be established. Within
few weeks the Jones' Remington
Company will erect a seven story
building in Jackson costing 100000
which will be used as modern de-
partment store, and Meridian firm
is negotiating for site to be used
for the same purpose. Numerous
smaller concerns will be launched
during the summer.

CLOSING EXERCISES.
A Large Attendance and a Great
Success of the Hattiesburg
High Schools.

The closing exercises of the city
schools took place last night in the
large auditorium of the Main street
school building.
The house was literally packed
and at least 400 people failed to gain
admittance. On the rostrum were
seated the gaduating class, the board
of trustees and one or two others.
Before the evening program was
rendered Rev. W. NJ. Sullivan offered
an earnest and heartfelt prayer to the
Maker and Preserver of all mankind.
Four young men and five young
ladies composed the graduating class
as follows:
Miss Mabel Greer, salutatorian;
Miss Louise Holmes, essay; Miss Car
mile Thrash, essay; Miss Minnie
Hightower, class prophecies; Miss
Bessie Powe, essay.
John Nixon, defamation; Houston
Breland, oration; George Robertson,
oration; Claude Hill, valedictorian.
DR.. H. Walter Featherstun deliver
ed an able and instructive address to
the graduating class. Diplomas were
delivered to the graduates by Judge
Hill in language appropriate to the
occasion. The exercises were made
still more interesting by the solos
from Mrs. A. F. Thomasson and Lee
CASTOR, both of whom were encored
Mrs. DuMont furnished the instru-
mental music.
During the session just closed 951
pupils were enrolled and it is safe to
say it was one of the most successful
sessions in the history of the city
schools.
Last nigth's exercises we're highly
complimented and appreciated by the
vast audience assembled. The Pro-
gress Is glad to note that the entire
faculty has been reelected.

NOT EVEN SERIOUS THOUGHT

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 13.-No credence is
placed in the rumor that Ex-senator
w. V. Sullivan intends to enter the
senatorial campaign against Senator
Money and Governor Longino, and
among well-posted politicians the
story is not even given serious
thought, save as reminder of the
fact that the Oxford statesman for n
short but eventful period repre-
sented Mississippi in the senate.
The fight between Senator Money
and Governor Longino will be con-
tinued as two handed combat until
its termination, and it will likely 90
down in political annals as one of
the most memorable contests i'm the
history of the commonwealth. Both
are making most active campaign.
