George Mcconnell. the former Balti-
more pitcher, has beer offered TO the
''Skeeters" and would be seen in a local
uniform this week. AS a matter OF fact,
Mcconnell was offered. but on such

was highly satisfactory, and a first
class offer was made 10 the club which
owns him. But minor league clubs
which sell their star and popular play

HUMANE SOCIETY
INDIGNANT over
CASE OF CRUELTY

Local members of the Humane So
ciety are indignant over case of
cruelty to animals, which was reported
to The News in detail yesterday after
noon.
1t seems that the northbound pas
senger train which reached Hatties-
burg Sunday at noon ran over cow
about one mile and half south Of the
depot and just outside of the city
limits. The animal was horribly man
gled, but not killed.
Some time during the day Monday
local members of humane society
learned of the incident and asked the
local agent of the New Orleans &
Northeastern railroad to kill the an
imal, which he promised to do, but
evidently neglected.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. F. w,
Queen took the matter in his own
hands and walked all the way to the
scene of the accident, where a pistol
shot soon put the animal beyond its
misery.

necessarily short on account of lack
of time for preparation for discussing
them by the local unions. The April
suggestions are along lines deemed
by the committee of especial impor-

up and considered by the locals, will
no doubt bring out a great many
points that will prove of inestimable
value.

we must have more and betted imple-

in preparing this soil? Place and

DYING
DECLARATION Will Be
USED IN THE DEFENSE

Mr.. Fitzgerald himself believed Sors-
by insane.
Poor boy, poor boy! He did not
know that was his friend" is in sub
stance what the state will offer as
the correct version of the remark, the
construction being that the inspector
was the one man who could and would
use any personal influence to tighten
the trouble caused the defendant
through the shortage which he had
just discovered, in the Clinton post
office, where Sorsby was assistant
postmaster, and that. Sorsby had NOT
realized this.
1t is therefore apparent that these
few words will form very important
feature of the testimony, in view o
the fact that insanity is to be practi
| cally the sole plea OF the defense.
