BRANDON, Miss, June 22.-Will
Mack, a negro, was indicted yester-
day, tried convicted and sentenced to
death all within six hours, for a Grim
inal assault committed upon a white
girl eight months ago. Troops. 300 of
them, brought Mack to Brandon yes
terday afternoon, and after the trial
took him away again. He was taken
to Vicksburg, where he is to remain
in Jail until July %, the date set for
the execution. 1t was the quickest
trial of It's kind ever held in the state.
Mack Vas gsuL q near Senatobia
four wee ks ago. Nlilo being brought
10 Brandon he was taken rom a
deputy sheriff by officers Of the state
militia. Gov Noel having issued the
order, fearing that the negro would
be lynched. Mack was placed in Jail
and the state officials refused to say
where he was being kept. When the
date of the trial was set, a special
term of court being decided upon to
try Mack, Gov. Noel again took a
hand in the affair and issued orders
to the effect thatt he negro would be
given every protection of the law and
that troops would bring the prisoner
to Brandon and look after his vel
fare at all hazards. The Governor
did this, he explained to prevent the
possibilities of mob taking the law
in its own hands before trial could
be held.

King Alphonso is the Subject Of
Many Congratulations

MADRID, Spain, June 22.-Again the
stork has perched upon the chimney OF
the young King and Queen of Spain.
This time it is a girl.
The announcement took place short
ly before o'clock this morning at
La Granja, Spain. Salutes are being
fired throughout the Kingdom and the
happy young King is the subject OF
many congratulations. The birth of a
princess is particularly pleasing to
both the King and Queen, as they had
hoped that his child the third, would
be a girl. The first two children are
boys, Prince Alfonso, born May 10,
1907, and Prince Jaime born June %,
1908.
Queen Victoria of Spain is a daugh-

Intense HEAT
IN new YORK

NEW YORK, June 22.-It was hot
in New York last night; in fact~hot-
ter than it has been on any other day
of 1909. The scenes among the crowd
ed denizens of East Side, with the
thermometer at 80, resembled those of
the hottest August weather. A large
portion of the East Side population
sought sleep on the roofs of tenement
houses. Another section sleep in the
parks and on the sands of Coney Is
land. Loungers on the park benches
who fell asleep were not disturbed by
the roundsman's stick. The roof gar
dens of the theatres and hotels were
thronged with the perspiring and the
thirsty. There was much suffering
among the East side poor because of
the extortion of the ice trust and it's
refusal to sell ice in five cent Jumps.
1t was great night for Coney Island
which was visited by 100000 people.
The supply of bathing suits ran out in
a number of pavillions, and the hours
for bathing were extended to meet the
convenience of the late arrivals.
This is the first instance in recent
years of the longest day in the year
being the hottest up to that time. It
was also the first day in the recent
history of New York City on which
horses began to drop dead in the street
from excessive heat in June.
Three deaths and five prostrations
occurred in this city today as a result
of the sizzling heat wave

VIOLATED
Persons Building Houses in the
City Do Not Secure Per-
mits According toLaw.

One of the most important of the
city ordinances and one which has
been here of late more generally dis
regarded than any other, is that which
relates to the securing of building per-
mits from the city clerk before the
erection of any building may be be-.
gun.
City Clerk Farley this morning in.
formed a News representative that
notwithstanding the fact that there
are at present many buildings of va
rious kinds under course of construc-
tion within the city limits, and a score
or more have already been completed
within the past few months, none of
the owners or contractors have ap-
piled for or obtained permits for their
erection.
The ordinance covering this matter
is very plain, and its provisions strict.
1t provides that it shall be unlawful
for any contractor or other person
to put up any building of any material
Whatever within the corporate limits
OF the city unless a written permit
shall have been obtained from the city
clerk and approved by the mayor. This
permit shall show the number of the
lot and the street number where the
building is to be erected, also the
contract cost of the building. dimen-
sions, owners name and name of the
contractor or builder.
The ordinance also provides that it
shall be the duty of each police Off
Ger to ascertain If permits have been
granted for the erection of any build |
ings on his beat. and the contractor
or other person violating this ordi- |
nance may be fined in an amount not
exceeding $780,
II this measure should be enforced
1t would doubtless find quite a num-
her of subjects upon whom to practice
as it appears to have been disregarded
altogether within the recent past.

IMPROVEMENTS
ON THE EAST SIDE
East Main Street Soon to Be One of
the Busiest Places in the City
Where Once Were Tumble
Down Shacks.

1t has been often remarked that
that portion of Main street lying be-
yond the n. o. & n. E. railroad would
always present an unsightly appear
ance and that the old frame buildings
located in that section would be allow
ed to go to decay or burn down before
anything would be done TO improve
that district.
This might hold good in a town less
progressive, but be it said to the cred
it of Hattiesburg that her citizens do
not wait for things to happen; they
simply go and do things. Within the
past two or three months there has
been more Improvement in that local
ity than in any other part of the bus
mess districf, and within a eryShort
time that portion of Main street will
present as handsome. and imposing q
sight as could be wished for.
There are at present under course
OF construction and already completed
several handsome two-stery brick and
concrete buildings. and vorious busi-
ness enterprises are flourishing. giving
the appearance OF a thoroughly live and
metropolitan thoroughfare.
In the same vicinity on Newman
street, substantial improvements are
under way, and in view of the fact
that the main passenger line of the
New Orleans and Northeastern rail
road will run parallel with this street.
1t is safe to predict that within the
near future this will be one of the
most desirable streets for business To-
cations. Doubtless when the fine new
passenger station shall have been COM
pleted, there will be lively demand for
houses, and restaurants, drug stores
and various other enterprises will
seek locations here and try for the
business which will naturally be at
racted in that direction.
There is not another section of the
city which has better advantages in
the way of location and convenience
to both railroad and a very populous
residence district, and those citizens
who own property in that vicinity
have not been slow to recognize this
fact. There are already many flour
lshing business enterprises located
here, and within short time one who
has been used to look upon a row of
umble down frame buildings will be
srattfied with the appearance here
presented.

placed in jail.
Mcmillan is a well known farmer
and was of a very quiet disposition.
He was about forty years of age and
leaves a wife and seven children.
Hall and Bond are employed as log
gers at one of the mills near Sumrall
and are noted as rough characters.
1t is thought that Bond did not in
tend to kill Mcmillan, but that he was
shooting at Lott, but in the excite
ment aimed at the wrong man.
1t seems that Bond and Hall have
had trouble with Lott before. Bond
was arrested some days ago for be-

shooting said that Bond when he had
fired touched the scar on his head and

HAS NOT YET BEEN FOUND

city. He declared tonight that the
educated negro of today has no idea
of social equality; that those who are
in touch with the race and its needs
know all that is needed to accomplish
it's salvation is education, not in the
confined sense of the term, but in its
broadest meaning. Education, he
said, increases the wants of the negro
and Unjust such proportion will he
work to attain his desires for good
clothes, for home4 and a bank ac-
count. The idle, shiftless negro, ig-
norant, has his wants easily supplied
and will work just long enough to get
money sufficient to supply his needs.
But, he continued, the negro, proper
ly educated, wants some of the good
things of life and will work to have
them.

PRISONERS BROUGHT
HERE LAST night
Victim of Rowdies Was Well Known
Farmer and Justice of the Peace,
and Leaves a Wife and Seven Child
rem.

While aiding in the arrest of Jerry
Hall, late yesterday afternoon, at
Sumrall Charley Mcmillan, a justice
of the Peace and local preacher, was
shot and instantly killed by Jack Bond
a companion and friend of Hall.
Both Hall and Bond were immedi
ately brought to Hattiesburg last
night and lodged in the county jail
until this morning when they were
carried to Purvis, the county seat of
Lamar county, where they will be
tried. The men were brought here
by Messrs w. r. Robbins, A. G. Lott,
c. T. Gates and H. D. Warren, who
told the story of the killing.
Hall had been arrested by Consta-
BILE Lott for being drunk and was
being taken to the lookup. AS he
was resisting, Mr. Mcmillan was asked
to assist in carrying him. AS the
officers were nearing the place with
drinking, ran up behind Officer Lott,
and began a scuffle to secure the Of.
ficers gun. In the melee Bond opened
his knife, and Hall, who was, in the
neantime, being held by Mcmillan,
told him to use it. Officer Lott was
overpowered and lost possession of tie
gun. Bond raised the revolver and
fired at Mcmillan, who was holding
Hail. hitting him in the face causing
instant death. Bond and Hall then
ran, but were intercepted by town
Marshal c. T. Gates, who was hurrylng
to the scene, and were captured with
the aid of the officers bull dog.
Before being captured, however
Bond and Lott, who had secured an.
other pistol, exchanged two shots
EACH neither doing any damage.

JACKSON, Miss, June 22.-Gov.
Noel was gratified' at the outcome of
the Mack trial. having been kept
closely informed as to every move
ment at Brandon during the dav.
Within a very few minutes after his
conviction and sentence the governor
was informed that the prisoner was
on the march to Brandon depot from
the courthouse; that the troops had
taken full charge. Governor Noel
realized that there were large num-
Ders of men in Rankin county who
mad determined to see that Mack
had a legal trial, and while he would
have preferred to have committed
MIN quietly to the civil authorities.
ne believed that he was fully justified
IN the exercise of the precaution which
was taken He was satisfied that
there could be but one outcome to a
court trial with the facts in his own
possession, but in view of former ex-
perlenees, 1t was deemed best, even

TO adopt the heroic measures which
made assurance daubly sure. While
the executive has not said so in so
many words, when the time for de-
livering this negro to the authorities
for the execution of the sentence
arrives the same degree of precaution
will be taken in order to forestall
outside interference.
