IS
VERY CRITICAL
Surgeons Entertain Small Hopes
For Recovery Of Negro Shot
By Officer.

Information this afternoon from the
Hattiesburg Hospital is to the effect
that the condition of Joe Beasley, the
negro who was shot yesterday morn
ing by Police Officer Benns, is ex-
tremely critical, and prospects for his
recovery are exceedingly doubtful.
Although it is stated by surgeons
in charge of the case that the negro's
vitality is remarkable and his reouper-
ating powers evidently great, his
wound is of such a nature as to make
his recovery a thing scarcely to be
expected.
The operation which was performed
upon the negro yesterday afternoon
disclosed the fact that, although the
bullet penetrated the hip, it had
ranged upward, entering the abdomi-
nal cavity and puncturing vital organs
in several places.
DR.. Mudson, the house surgeon,
stated to News man this afternoon
that, while the negro's recovery was
by no means impossible, very little
hopes were entertained for such re-
suit. R@5H%

Jackson, Dec. 3.-It develops that
there will be very little difference be-
tween the so-called short session OF
the legislature which is to be con-
vened Just one month from tomorrow,
and the regular, or long session OF
two years ago and two years hence.
Although the law is such that the
legislature has not the power to con
slider anything except revenue and ap.
preparation measures without the
sanction of the governor, as express
ed in messages to the lawmakers,
Gov. Noel has practically said that
he will "let down the bars" to every
thing except those things he opposes
as being unwise.
This assurance has been given to
callers during the past few days, and
thus far he has not had occasion to
turn down anything suggested, except
to suggest changes which are to be
made before the convening of the ses
sion. In other words, he has agreed
to recommend about everything re-
quested of him.
The governor will be exceedingly
liberal in his recommendations for ap
propriations for educational purposes
especially along industrial lines, and
in the matter of pensions for old sol
diers and the support of the Soldiers
Home at Beauvoir.

To this meeting. which was called
early this week by Chairman H. 8.

ganization, is invited every man in
Hattiesburg who desires to have this
city represented by a first-class team
in the reorganized Cotton States
league. The result of to-night's gath
ering will finally determine whether
or not this city will put up the $500
for a franchise, which amount already
has been guaranteed by thirty busi-
ness men and firms of this city. These
men are ready and willing to put up
the money If the proper spirit II
shown toward having a club at to-
nights meeting.
A Splendid Scheme.
IF Hattiesburg has a team in the
Cotton States" said prominent busi-
ness man who incidentally is a dyed
in-the-wool fan, I'VE can get some one
of the big league teams to train here
in the spring hereafter. These big
league clubs carry from forty to sixty
players before the regular season
opens and they put these men up dur
ing the practice season, which lasts
for from four to six weeks, at the best
hotels. Then the players themselves
spend lot Of money wherever they
are. With such climate as we have.
there would be little difficulty in IN
ducing one of these clubs to come here
for early training and, besides the
money and advertising it would bring
to Hattiesburg. it also would afford
our team fine opportunity to get in
some good practice and rake in few
dollars before the season opens"
1t is urgently requested that every
man who possibly can be in attend
ance at to-night's meeting.
