United States Circuit Court has grant
ed a temporary writ of habeas corpus,
ordering the release on bail of jose
phus Daniels, president of the Ra-
leigh On. C.) News and Observer, who
has been held in contempt of court by
Judge Purnell, of the Federal court.
Attorneys for Daniels presented their
petition and affidavit in the case at
the home of Judge Pritchard ia this
city. Judge Pritchard declined to
sign the writ in Washington, which is
out of his jurisdiction. Accompanied
by the attorneys he went to Alexan-
der, Va, where the writ was signed.
Supplement orders intended to pre-
vent repetition of conditions which
existed on the battleship Missouri at
the time of the disastrous turret ex-
plosion, on April IA, have been issued
by the Navy Department. Although
the court of inquiry on that accident
found nothing culpable in the pres
ence In the turret of one partly loaded
charge and in the handling room of
two charges for the one gun in use,
the orders now issued limit the total
amount of ammunition to two charges.
In carrying out its purpose to retain
control of the wireless telegraph along
the coast of the United States. the
Navy Department is establishing sta
tions at intervals along the coast, fit
ed with German system which is still
in an experiment stage. Admiral
Manney, chief of the Bureau of Euip-
ment, who is in charge of the work,
admits that the apparatus works with
difficulty beyond seventy miles.
The theory entertained by the mil
itary experts, influenced by dispatches
from the region of war, is that the
Japanese attack ON Port Arthur, will
be made by such force as is now at
the command of the invading army.
The battle is destined to be desper-

The Euporo Progressive League is
demanding water works for that place
and with a good prospect of success.
Every town with 500 or more people
should have water works and good
ones at that. Look at the experience
of Yazoo City for an example of an
inefficient supply.

1t was kind indeed for the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley railroad to grant
specially low rates to Yazoo City on
building material to replace their
burned homes and business houses.
This is the only road reaching that
town and the act of kindness will be
appreciated by the citizens of that
town. Railroads do a great deal of
such work which is forgotten by peo-
pie at times when campaign is be-
ing made against them fer some cause
or other. The State of Mississippi
owes the Illinois Central railroad for
a large portion of her development
and present prosperity. 1t is an un-
disputed fact that there is nothing to
develop a country like unto few rail
road lines. Then too, the industrial
department of this system has done
a great deal for the state in the way
of locating industries and bringing
down people to open up the wild lands
as we'll as engage in trucking which
has been a great boon in many Sec
tons. Give the roads credit for the
good they do.s

Hazelhurst sets the state a good ex-
ample in establishing a free public
library. Too much knowledge is hard
to acquire and it is a good idea to
place before the public supply of
books that will give information as
well as prove interesting otherwise.
More Libraries of this kind would dis
courage the reading of cheap, trashy
novels.

SPOT ADVANCED 70 POINTS
Enormous Realizing All Through List,
But All Offerings Readily Absorbed.
Violent Price Fluctuations.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE market
was thrown into a great state or e7c-
element shortly after the opening to-
day by another stampede Of the shorts
in the July and August options here and
at New OrOleans. The sharp rise of 81
points in July yesterday from the early
low point was plain enough indication
to every short in the market as to the
heavily oversold condition or the gen
eral option list and the fright which
took place among the shorts then was
simply continued on a greater scale to-
day.
The soid-out condition or the market
on the old crop options was apparent
from the absence Of selling. and shorts
being eager buyers were compelled to
bid the market up very sharply to OBJ
tain any cotton. A large number or
stop-loss orders were unexpectedly I'M
covered by the rise. and their forced
execution added TO tho excitement, as
brokers had to buy IN the cotton re-
gardless of the price.
A rise of nearly 80 points at New Or
leans in the July option from 12.05 TO
1885 intensified the nervousness of the
shorts. The bears there had been
trapped as badly as they had been in

very plainly shows the extent to which

There was enormous realizing on the
advance all through the list. but the
market absorbed the offerings veiy

remain passively at Port Arthur TO be

nickname Of Mad Mack" For the past
