TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
Meeting Held Last Night to Effect
Organization of international
Typographical Unicn Here.

Last night, in compliance with
the wishes of a majority of the prin-
ters of this city, a meeting was held
for rhe purpose of efecting temper
ary organization of local branch Of
the International Typographical
Union, at which the applications of
such local printers as wished to be-
come charter members were received
and temporary officers elected. Hat
tiesburg is becoming city in which
the printing industry enters largely
as a factor of its business, two daily
newspaper offices with job depart
ments and two exclusive job printing
establishments, all empl oying large
force of primers, being in existence,
and as a number are already mem
bers of the union it is but natural
that they should wish to establish q
local union. The Progress strongly
favOrS union labor where those pur-
ciple, for which the union is formed
are carried out, and the members
do not pervert the mowers con-
ferred for selfish purposes, and know
ing that the printers of this city are,
as a unit, working as much for the
interests of their employers as to bet
ter their own conditions the manage
ment will do all in its power to fur
ther the cause of the members OF the
new organization.
The following temporary officers
were elected, to hold office until
perman Mt organization is effected;
T. T. Merritt, president, @. n.
Murphy, vice president S. b. Martin
secretary treasurer j. L. Norton, re
cording and corresponding secretary

CHARGE NOT SUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation Of Embezzlement of Supt.
Kennedy Not Sustained by the
Examination of Records.
Special to the Daily Progress.

jackson, Sept. S.-Mr L. F,
Chiles, deputy state revenue agent,
has returned from Mendenhall, where
he checked up the books and accounts
for the past three years OF Prot j.
P. Kennedy, superintendent of educa-
tion of Simpson county, who is now
under bond in the sum of $4,000 on
the charge of embezzling public
funds, and whose case will be given
a hearing before the state board OF
education on the 18th of the present
month.
The deputy found, so far as Super.
intendent Kennedy's records show,
that his books have been correctly
kept. and if there has been any en-
bezzlement it was accomplished out
side of the records. The errors found
for the three-year period aggregated
only S1l, and were purely of a cleri-
cal nature Mr.. Chiles found about
twenty-five reports missing, but

these were lost when the seat OF
county government was moved from
Westville to Mendenhall, the removal
having been made to prevent injunc'

against Superintendent Kennedy ro

which they claim TO be able to do.

TRADE REVIEW.
Signs of Continued Prosperity Are
Manifest in Almost Every
Direction.

New York, Feb. 2.--R. G. Dun 6,
So.s Weekly Review of Trade says
domestic trade and industry con-
tlnue 10 prosper, while the fuel sit
uatlon has grown less disturbing
through the special efforts of trans
Porters, aided in no small degree by
mild weather. Distribution of other
products has been restricted by the
discrimination in favor of coal, and
shippers are importunate. Clearance
sales are about ended, leaving only
small stocks of winter goods. Ad-
vance business in spring deliveries is
very heavy, and fall contracts are
also placed literally. In most cases
where there is no delay on fuel ac-
count, manufacturing plants are
busy, though cost of materials and
labor is very high. Firm prices for
finished products are consequently to
be expected. Favorable returns of
railway earnings are constantly is
sued, figures thus far available show
ing an increase of 81 per cent. over
last year and 17.9 per cent. over 1901.
Miles of loaded cars and thousands
of tons of coke piled in the yards at
Connellsville tell the story of con-
ditions in the iron and steel indus
try. Furnaces are closing because
of the fuel shortage. By giving coal,
live stock and perishable goods prece-
dence over all other freight, the
railroads helped consumers every
where, but at the expense of the lead
ing manufacturing industry. Many
plants are closed or running only
part time, and few orders for dis
tant delivery are sought or offered,
owing TO the uncertainty as to when
normal conditions will prevail. Fail
ures for the week numbered 243 in
the United States, against 301 last
year, and 80 in Canada, compared
with 40 year ago."
Bradstreet's says: "Trade develop
ments in January confirm the san
guine expectations and prediction
made at the outside of the month.
Wholesale and jobbing trade in spring
goods, millinery, boots and shoes and
hats is improving steadily, January's
jobbing business at the leading cities
east and west being the best ever re-
corded in that month. Shipments Oh
orders are larger and earlier than in
preceding years. Retail trade reports
are hardly so favorable. Unseaso on
nble weather dulls retail distribu-
ton in this line, and the usual Janu-
airy clearing sales are attracting less
than ordinary attention. Among the
industries no sign of tagging activ-
ity is noted. Iron and steel produc
ton is at its highest point, despite
fuel and car shortages, and price:
are higher Activity in lumber is also
noted the country over. The genera,

at times that he had had hard luck,
but when he faced the cold truth he
knew in his innermost soul that luck
had played no part whatever in his
descent of the ladder of respectable

moment, amid surroundings long
ago familiar, did he realize what an
utter wreck he had made OF his life.
But he put on the devil-may-care air
he was at intervals accustomed to
assume and slouched across the
tracks in the direction of the station.
What hour can it be?' he NUT
tered. Rather late, / judge, by the
fact that there are so few people

There was a man standing in the
open station doorway whom Rossiter
took, from his dress, to be either a
ticket agent or conductor. He had
his watch in his hand.
"Will you be kind enough to tell
me the time?" Rossiter asked.
The railroad man opened his lips
as though he were about to answer,
but as he glanced at his questioner
astonishment seemed to choke his ut

crossed deserted street, and de-
