LET THE BOARD RESIGN.

Anent the article written by cor
respondent and appearing in the
Progress yesterday, headed "A Sug-
gestion,' wherein the whole shoot
ing match, the mayor and board OF
aldermen, were asked to resign and
leave the matter to the people to be
settled. Captain Rich told a repre-
sentative of the Progress that he
was perfectly willing to the PROPOSE
tion if the board will resign. He
said though he was elected by good
majority Of the people, for the sake
of harmony and for the best interests
of the city he would resign along
with the board.
1t is now left to the board whether
or not it will resign. The thing has
not only become disgusting but it il
becoming hurtful, and it Ia about
time the buusiness men Of the city
was taking hand in the fight.
Let the board resign. Let all Of
them resign. Let the whole shooting
match get out and stay out if they
can not transact the business Of the
city without pickering, without
wrangling and fussing and showing
their teeth. The Progress believes
that there is great deal of malice
in it, "If we can't you shan't"
seems to be the motto and it seems to
be immaterial whether the city is in
jured or benefited. 1t is spite, NAL
ice, family feud and q disgrace to 8
civilized, Christian people. Resign,
the last one Of you, and If you do not
let the people of the city see that you
do resign.
A mandamus was served ION mayor
Rich at special meeting o. the board
at O'Clock this evening to. ascertain
why he refused to sign the youches
of the new police. This is the be-
ginning of another case that will
come UP before the circuit court, and
the fiddler must be paid. These
suits are brought by the board.
1t started the fuss and it is being &c.
verely criticised by the people Of the
city, whether Justly SO or not. The
people looked to it for an adjustment
of the differences between it and the
mayor, but instead of an adjustment
it is doing more wrangling, stirring
up more fuss, creating more dissen-
ton, widenig the breach and running
Hattiesburg. Let the board resign.
Let it not stop to get its hat. Let it
go out at the windows, up the fius or
any way so it gets out of the city
hall and returns it's commissions back
to the people. Here is a fine oppor.
tunity to resign. Captain Rich says
if it will resign he will. Now, there
you are!

Jackson, Feb. Word reaches
here from Smith county that Jack
Sullivan who killed his uncle, Will
son Sullivan, a few days since, has
been committed to Jail without bail
to await the next circuit court term.
The revival of the celebrated Sui
livan's Hollow feud, which has been
productive of tragedies almost for
time beyond memory, also calls to
mind the fact that not single MEM
Der of the family has been placed
behind the walls of the penitentiary
or on the gallows within the past six
years, although during this period SIX
killings have occurred in the famous
locality.
The death of Wilson Sullivan was
quite drastic. He had been stabbed
four times through the heart be his
nephew, and, us he sank to the
ground dying exclaimed: Jack has
killed me, but he has not scared me. =
He died with his head in his sons
lap.

B1zehtey Outlook IN Industrial Situation
Hats UIa0e Of Depression IN Market
NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-Although sus-
tanned at the opening by vigorous bull
support, which made call prices high In
the face OF poor cables, cotton soon
yielded to bear pressure and adverse
news conditions, losing more than the
early advance. The Liverpool depres-
sion was explained by heavy New Or
leans selling.
At 1015 o'clock prices rallied sSarp-
~ on rumors that spot houses had fair
buying orders. There was heavy trade
in January and March and fair busl-
ness in Nav and July The usual I'M
qertone then became feverish. and fluc-
tuations very erratic. Estimates as to
the week s, movements are being raised;
an into sight of 565, 600 bales is gen.
orally expected.
New Orleans bulls were reported to be
selling heavily here and at Liverpool, as
well as their own market. The local
contingent, IN view OF the heavy long
interest, operated on the reaction theory.

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

Contrary to expectations, the Bank of
England did not change its rate of dis
count today. The rate OF demand ster-
ling Is now So low that the efforts of
the British bank to check the outflow
of gold have been neutralized. The last
card which the bank has TO play will be
the increasing of its discount rate. but
even that action would not prevent the
importation of the yellow metal to this
country.
