The FIRST LETTER
DEMANDED MONEY
And Because 1t Was Not forthcoming
Young Lady's Father.-Was Warned
Not to Show the Letter.

BILOXI, Miss, July 26.--Miss Ollie
Howell's life was threatened in a Sec
ond Black Hand letter to her father,
a citizen of Point Cadet, Saturday.
The letter was most revoltingly word
ed and stated that because Mr.. Howell
did not comply with their first letter
telling him to place a large sum of
money near the Oak Street Station,
they would kill his daughter, Ollie, at
an unexpected time, and make hash
of her and send him some" Mr..
Howell said that he was at the ap-
pointed place at the specified time but
no one showed up. He does not seem
to be especially uneasy about the mat
ter and says that he cannot under
stand why these threats should be
made against him and members of his
family, as he has no enemies. The
last letter received was postmarked
Biloxi. The letter is in the same hand
writing as the first one, with dag
gers at the top and signed with black
hands. Mr.. Howell said this morning
that a strange woman had told his
daughter that an unknown man had
been asking questions about her and
trying to secure information about the
girl whose life had been threatened
and the family. The matter is assum-
ing a serious aspect. The police de-
partment has put special men to work
on the case. Whether or not the Fed
eral authorities will take any steps
in the matter is not known. 1t is
known that a Federal postal inspector
was here working on the case some
time after the receipt of the first let
ter, but he conducted his work very
secretly. and apparently achieved
nothing. Public sentiment is aroused
over the second letter and no stone
will be left unurned to catch the GRIM
inals
The letter is as follows:
Friend Howell: You will be sorry
you did not bringe us the money. It's
our fource TO send you another let
ter. You did not show up Tuesday
night. but We are going to show
ourselves. Some unexpected day your
daughter is going to meet death. oh,
we mean business. This is not to SEQ
num- Don't you let anybody see this
or tell them. We are going to fix
Ole up all right We found out her
name. Don't worry after she is gone.
We will make hash out of her and
send YOU some. Remember. we love
her. She is so pretty.

IMPROVED METHODS
INCREASE PROFITS
MORE THAN HALF MILLION DOL
LARS GAINED TO GEORGIA
FRUIT GROWERS ON THIS
ACCOUNT.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 26.-Over a
half million dollars profit directly due
to the improved methods of market
ing were made off the Georgia peach
crop this year, according to figures
published. This year for the first
time Georgia growers organized into
mutual benefit exchange, modelled on
the lines of California Fruit Shippers
Association. The result was that a
crop of nearly 1000 carloads of
peaches this year brought about ST.
100000 or about the same price that
a crop of 5000 car loads brought last
year. The price this year went as
high at 50 per crate.
The Importance of these figures for
the South lies in the fact that not
only the great Southern fruit crops.
particularly oranges, are organizing
similar associations. In each case
Southern associations have followed
the California idea of excepting the
crop rolling" in freight cars and sell
ing it as it moves by means of reliable
agents Of the association in the North.

WENT UP ON A
SUGGESTION OF error
Was a Test Case in Which it Was
Thought to Prove-Out Mississippi
Prohibition Law.-Was Affirmed BY
the Supreme Court.

JACKSON, July 26.-Overruling sug-
gestions of error was the long suit of
the supreme judges during the past
week, and in addition to the turning
down of the appeal in the famous Chas
r. Smith murder case, another case
not so important but almost equally
fomaus, was disposed of in a similar
manner.
This was the Harry Edwards case,
coming up from the city of Gulfport,
where Edwards was convicted of sell
ing near-beer. His case was affirmed
in the supreme court in a very full
opinion. which settled definitely the
question of whether beverages of
that class could be sold legally in
Mississippi, by deciding in the mega
tive. The suggestion of error was
something like grabbing at straw,
and was quickly disposed of when
the members of the bench got an op-
portunity to consider it.
Another case in which a suggestion
of error was overruled was that of Joel
F. Johnson VS.. E. E. Sutton, involving
some $4,000 commissions claimed by
Sutton for the sale of certain timber
lands to timber concern. The sale
did not actually take place, and SUIT
ton was not only denied his claim
for $4,000 balance claimed to be due
him from Johnson, but was required
to refund to Johnson, $4,000 already
advanced him on the contract to sell,
the deal having fallen through, al
though through no fault of Suttons

NEGROES ORGANIZE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The Ethio-
plan Life Insurance Co. was incorpo-
rated at Albany Saturday with a cap
ital of 100000. Its incorporators say
that it is the first negro stock corpo-
ration of its kind in the history of
the state, and the first negro corpo-
ration with capital of its size in the
history of the United States.
The incorporators also claim there
is such a prejudice against the negro
being admitted to insurance companies
managed by whites, that ther company
will be patronized by their race all
over the country.

To the average Mexicon all Ameri-

to call you a gringo to your face. but
among themselves it is the term gen.

1t is a term of disrespect, Just as
greaser when applied to a Mexican

DOUBLE DAILY
MAIL SERVICE
SlPPl CENTRAL BETWEEN
HATTlEsBURo AND BROOK.
HAVEN.
Movement Inaugurated BY the Com
merciaI Club Has Successful
Termination


The Hattiesburg Commercial Club
has scored again in the announcement
that double daily" mail service will
be installed on the Mississippi Cent
raj between Hattiesburg and Brook
haven. For some time the CONNER
cial Club has been working for this
service and through their efforts a
government agent was sent down a
short time ago TO investigate the need
Of the service.
Up to the present time there has
been but one mail a day each way ON
this road, although mail has been
sent in sealed express pouches to six
or eight Of the larger towns on the
other trains. The mail delivery on
his road became very heavy and al
though the larger towns were ac-
commodated by the express pouch the
smaller offices deserved the double
daily service as the government agent
readily agreed when he had made an
investigation.
Although Postmaster Collins has not
yet been officially advised as to the
date on which the service will be in
augurated it is practically understood
that it will be August 1st. as the new
railway mail clerks have already been
appointed and their names put on the
poyroll Of the Hatiesburg office.
The extra mail service on the Mis-
sissippi Central is, however. not the
only innovation which we may expect
in the postal service. The city car
rier routes are to be extended ana
Postmaster Collins is making a strong
effort to secure a couple of mounted
carriers in the suburban districts. hop,
ing to secure them for another year.
This will be a great convenience to
those living outside the corporate linn
its and VII ad greatly the upbuld.
ing of these additions.
The farmers Of the surrounding coun
try are also wide awake and are work
ing for new rural routes. There are
petitions now circulating for three ad-
ditional routes. one to the northeast.
including the Runnelstown neighbor-
hood, one to the south along the C. &
s. l. railroad, and the other to the
west between the northeastern and
Mississippi eural railroads. Post
master Collins is confident that at
least two Of these routes will be es-
established within the next few
since there seems to be
sufficient population on each of the
proposed routes and the farmers are
we'll united in their efforts.
There is no reason why Hatties-
burg should not have five rural routes
since many other places which need
them less are being so favored and
only united effort is necessary to OBJ
tain them
