the Justice court. The first case
called in S. L. Havron's court was Z.

arising from horse swap. Morrison
represented the plaintiff and Tatum
the defendent. The case was contln-
ued. The second case was in Esq
Prices court. Moses Arledge was
accused of stealing white SOW, the
property of John Arledge, but the
state failed to make out its case and
Arledge was discharged. J. W
Morrison was for the state and B
Tatum for the defendent. Some
other cases of minor Importance were

incidents OF various character, some
sorrowiul and others joyful and in
structive. One of the latter char

travelling on the cars.
The train was going west, and
the time was evening, At the sta

under her arm, came into our car
and deliberately took a. seat. She
She then commenced an eager
scrutiny OF faces, but all were
strange to her. She appeared tired
and placing her bundle for a pill
low she prepared to try and get a
little sleep, Soon the conductor
came along, collecting tickets and
fare. Observing him she asked him
ii she might lie there The gentle
manly conductor replied that she
might, and then kindly asked her
for her ticket. She informed him
she had none, when the following
conversation ensued.
Said the conductor, "Where are
you going?"
Il am going to Heaven" she an
swered.
"Who pays your fare?" he asked
again.
She then SAID, Mister, does this
railroad lead to heaven, and does
Jesus travel on it?"

Mr.. Richardson is a great advocate
of advertising and said that Hatties-
burg should get out a small circular
one that will fit into any envelope
with pungent points, facts and figures,
setting forth the advantages and
opportunities of this city and COM
munity, and let every man who
writes letter eunclose one of them
in it. By this means they would be
scattered throughout the country and
do vast amount of good. Along this
line he said that it required the hard
est kind of work to make board of
trade what it should be. The secre-
tary should be paid good salary and
every member should give him all the
assistance in his power.
He said there We're thirty three
unions of boards or trade as members
of the order in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi and all of them are in flourish
ing condition.
His speech was highly appreciated
and frequently applauded by the large
audience present, as also was that of
Mr. Mayo, and their presence and talk
encouraged our people and will cause
them to renew their efforts to make

Hattiesburg and this section. The
speeches stirred up our people and
they are discussing the matter ON the

Nearly all the hangings in the state
are now done legally as a general
thing. And they seem to be numer-
Gus and becoming more so every
month. But it should be remembered
that no outrages have been perpetrated
upon white women in the state for a
long time. When this is done we may
expect more lynchings. The other
day negro was lynched in Florida
for assaulting white girl. Doubt
less he would have been legally
hanged had his case come to trial, but
the people, while they have faith in
the law, did not have the patience to
wait its slow progress. There have
been more legal hangings in this state
the past year than perhaps any three
years before.

The article headed Hattiesburg is
Booming and printed in Thursday S
Progress should have been given cred
it to the Birmingham News as it was
written for that paper by Hatties-
burg correspondent. The article has
attracted some attention by the peo-
pie of this city and doubtless is ap-
preciated by them. 1t was also a
splendid advertisement for Hatties-
burg and this section of the state,
being printed in paper with such a
wide circulation as the News has.
The same article was also reproduced
in the Mobile Herald of Thursday.

Some of the papers make the charge
or rather insinuate that Mr.. Fox was
brought out and did not know it at
the time and is not aware of the fact
now, by a combination of politicians
purposely to defeat Mr.. Vardaman or
rather to elect some one whom the
combination could control. Perhaps
this will explain the hundreds of let
tiers received by that gentleman from
all over the state asking him to make
the sacrifice. Such thing could be
done, but whether or not it is ques-
tion for discussion.

A prominent Alabama republican
said the other day that it would be
bad policy for the republican national
convention to nominate Roosevelt for
president. We had hoped that the
discovery of the dad policy" would
not come to light and that the acct
dental president would be nominated,
for it is an indisputable fact that he
would be the easiest man to. be de-
feated the republican party has with a
national reputation and if the demo

If the press of the state will agitate
the question of having all property
advertised in the newspapers that is
sold under a mortgage it may be the
members of that body will concede to
the proposition. AS general thing
the press elects the legislature, some
of the members of which know but
little about laws, but when it comes to
favoring the press these members seem
to think that it is nothing but the
duty of the press to put them in office.

REPORTS OF HIGH WATER
ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March 14.-CitizeRs from
the delta in the city today state that
the reports of danger on account of
the high water have been greatly ex-
aggerated and that the planters, as a
rule, are not expecting any overflow
this season. The state that the levees
all along the lower district are three
feet higher than they were in 1897 and
Therefore prepared to stand a proper
tionate increase in pressure. The
levees in the upper district on the
Mississippi side are also believe to be
in condition to stand greater strain
than any they may be subjected to
from the volume of water in sight.
They point out that the high reading
of the gauge at Memphis, which
seems to have beeen causing so much
uneasiness in Mississippi, is largely
due to the fact that the St. Francis
basin on the Arkansas side, over
which the water has heretofore been
accustomed to spread, has been closed
with levees, thus narrowing the chan
mel and creating an engagement of
waters at that particular point.
Then views represent the most hope
full side of the case admittedly as it
seems to be a well-known Characters

the idea of an overflow until he is up

AT any rate Edward Morse Shepard
is in the south shaking hands with
the man behind the pillow as we'll as
the one at the forge. He is feeling
the pulse of the people to learn their
opinion of him as a candidate for
president on the democratic ticket.
But if it is true that he said he did
not want the nomination unless he
had the endorsement of Mr.. Bryan he
can go way back and take seat.
Bryan ran for Office on the populite
ticket and was elected by popuilte
votes, and there should be no seeking
for his endorsement. The people have
been fooled twice in voting for Mr..
Bryan and they are tired of him.
