MONEY WASTED.

What lot of money is spent an
nually in proftless advertising.
More cash in circulars, in dead wall
displays and in programs than would
be required to fill the pages of the
newspapers with profitable announce
ment every day in the year, and yet
business men keep right on wasting
their money in these mediums.
1t is easy enough for merhcants 10
prove the relative value of these
different forms of publicity as COM
pared with straight newspaper adyer-
tising.
Did you personally ever 60 and buy
anything which your attention has
been called by circular? Few peo-
pie whom we have met, have admit
ted that they have. On the other

PRAISES oLD-TIME DARK1Es.

1.-The old colored man, the one who
came up from slavery, is the best of
the race. He is ignorant, honest, re-
ligious and industrious. -
In these words the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon of Topeka, Kansas, yes
terday described the first of the three
kinds of colored people into which he
has divided that portion of the race
which has come under his personal
observation. DR.. Sheldon was speak
ing before the Congregational Minis
ters yesterday upon 1.-The Tennessee
Town Experiment, . which Ire has
fostered in this city for the purpose of
demonstrating the value of systematic
educational work upon the colored
people.
THE second class, he said, lis
the young man or woman who knows
nothing of slavery, aud, lastly, the
middle class, upon which we began
our work. 1 could name good many
bad qualities of the colored race, but
we started by training the good ones.
1.-The whole negro problem is in
the air. l believe that n careful
development of the colored people
along religious lines will be their sal

WHO'LL BE NEXT .

Who will be the next man to begin
the erection of a large three-story
brick building with a stone front
This kind of building seems to be
all the go now and they are going at
rapid pace. The First National
Bank building and that Of the Citi-
zens' Bank are two of the most beau
tiful and substantial buildings in the
city and a credit to those who de-
signed and built them. Of course
there are other neat, tasty and pretty
buildings in the city, recently con-
structed, but they do not appear to be
so shovy as the ones mentioned
above. But doubtless others will go
up soon and while they may model
after the ones just completed, they
will be more snowy, perhaps larger,
and more costly finished. All the
new buildings of Hattiesburg are now
an honor to any large city and the
people here appreciate this fact The
main thing is to keep them full of
business. The banks here have done
we'll from the start and they will con-
tinue to ''play to crowded house, ="
but as business makes business it
would be very pleasing to the citi-
zens of the city to see every house
doing a good business, the kind the
most of them are now doing.

Reprieye Arrives in Time
to Save the
NECK OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL.
Everything Had Been Made Ready
to Hang Him.
HE WAS OVERCOME WITH JOY
When Sheriff Led Prisoner Back
to the Jail.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Feb. 19.-With the moose
around his neck, the fatal trap fixed
for springing, and all in readiness for
the plunge to eternity, Joe Campbell,
a condemned murderer, was rescued
from the gallaow- at Yazoo City yes
terday morning by the arrival of a
reprieve from Governor Longino.
Sheriff Wilson had finished all the
details to legally kill his prisoner,
the physicians were standing at the
foot Of the scaffold to count the pulse
beats and declare the death of the
condemned man, and rude pine box
was sitting only few feet away in
which the hody was to be placed and
carried to the potter's field.
Just as the moose was adjusted
Campbell turned to the sheriff and
whispered several words which caused
a suspension of the grewsome prepa-
rations for death. 1t was confess
sion giving the name of his accom-
plice in the crime for which he was
to be executed, and the sheriff was so
convinced of the sincerity of the
utterance that operations were sus-
pended and communication sent to
Governor Longino urging that ten
day reprieve be granted.
The governor received the message
while at the dinner table, and after
thorough inquiry as to the nature
of the confession he granted the re-
quest for reprieve. The conference
by telephone lasted but few mo-
ments, and Campbell was overcome
with joy when the sheriff returned
from the scaffold, removed the sombre
black cap and led him back to the
Jail.
Campbell was convicted in Yazoo
county of the murder of a negro
named Buck Collins, which occurred
on the night of March 10, 1902.
The fatal shot was fired through a
crack in the doorway, Collins being
in the house calling on a negress
with whom Campbell was very much |
enamoured. Sheriff Wilson has not |
given out the nature of the confession |
duplicating an accomplice, but the |
story will be related to the grand jury |
which will be convened by Judge |
Powell at Yazoo City next Monday.

LADIES' CLUB ENTERTAIN
MENT LAST EVENING.

On last evening the Married
Ladies' Euchre Club was delightfully."-
entertained by Mesdames Dunn and
Cornell as joint hostesses at the home
of the former, and the affair was one
of the handsomest social functions of
the season.
The spacious parlors and halls of
the handsome home were beautifully
and brilliantly illuminated for the
occasion. After all the guests were
assembled the score Of cards were pre-
sented, the score being kept by tiny
fans with carnival figures, and the
games were played by the contestants
with unabated interest: The always
fascinating game of euchre was
played, an proved a most interesting
and enthusiastic one during the en-
tire time, and was thoroughly en-
joyed by all the participants.
After the usual number of games
were played the tables were daintily
spread and the most tempting refresh
ments were served, after which the
score was counted and the lady's
prize, a beautiful hand-painted salad
dish was won by Mrs. d. B. Holmes,
and the gentleman's prize, hand
some gold-mounted hat brush, was
won by our popular and most excel
lent host, Mr.. Dunn.
All agreed that both Mrs. Cornell
and Mrs. Dunn were charming
hostesses, and the pleasant evening
will long be remembered by all
present,

PAVING THE STREETS.

Rome was not built in a day nor
will the streets of Hattiesburg be
paved in day. These things must
come in the order of the. commercial
strides of the city is making. Hat
tiesburg cannot be paved today por
tomorrow The city is too young.
1t was only few years ago that
Meridian had some of its streets paved
and Jackson has just undertaken the
work. Both of these cities are much
older than Hattiesburg. But they
had to get commercial start com
mercial standing, before they could
afford to undertake the job Of paving
the streets. No revenue comes in
from paved streets. The revenue is
on the other side of the ledger-it
goes out-and there is no return of
even a part of the money expended on
the streets for paving them. But
there is no harm to talk about and
discuss the matter. 1t will edify US
and give Us better idea of what to
do and how to do it when the time
comes for the paving of the streets,
which time will come some day and
sooner than it came to Meridian or
Jackson.
But what the Progress has always
contended for was some action taken
to have the streets cleaned up. This
should be done if they are never
paved. 1t is essential for the good
health of the city if not for the looks
of the thing. Of course while there
is so much building going on it is
impossible to keep the streets clean,
but buildings are not going up on
every corner or on every block nor
in every alleyway, and these should
be cleaned up. Then when the
blocks are built of Marble and stone
and press brick and our commercial
trade thoroughly established and we
have little money in the treasury,
we will not only discuss the paving
of the streets, but the work will begin
and soon be completed. and we will
wonder how quickly and neatly it
was done.

SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED

Have Existed in North.

New York, Feb. 17.-Dr. Minot j.
Savage in the Unitarian Church Of

continued:
Senator Tillman, whom I heard at

lowed the nergo people, it means, in
his judgment, general mixing, mon
grelizing and degrading of the entire
