He SAW A VISION,
BUT IT VANISHED

Visions of brass buttons, tips and
/ comfortable travel have departed from
John Proved, who had aspirations to
become Pullman car porter
With the fleeting dream there went
a $40 bill, which Proved says he earned
| by the sweat of his brow.
1t was the old story of a smart,
smooth-tongued negro of the city work
ing his wiles upon his less intelligent
country brother.
Leslie posed as agent for the Pull
man Company, and promised Proved a
job as porter. He flattered Proved
upon his personal appearance, and said
that he would look we'll in a uniform.
How much money you got, boz"
Leslie asked.

yes, you is; jes' done seen you
wild a bill dat looked mighty much to
me lack ten spot.
II got tenner, but what you enquir-
in bout dat fer?"
"Nigger, you jes' boun' ter hab mon
ey fore kin get dat job fer you. Glib
it to me an I goes right down to de
office and gifts it fixed up"
"Whut fer you has ter hab money!"
"Doan you know you has to hab a
uniform" Leslie described the beau
ties of the uniform. He also assured
Proved that niger" without uni
form did not have a chance in the
world with the ladies" when brass
buttons were in sight.
He likewise inspired Proved with
the idea that a whisk broom was an
automatic harvesting machine for
gathering in tips.

inquired the tempter.

of the various warehouses on salary
account, but do not include salaries
and rentals due at branch offices in
Memphis and Fort Worth.
No date has yet been fixed for the
first meeting of creditors, but, accord
ing to statement of one of the re-
ceivers, it will probably be about the
10th of February, at which time the
affairs Of the defunct concern will be
given thorough airing.
At this meeting the receivers will ap-
ply for an order authorizing them to
sell the various warehouses, and it Is
believed that better prices can be OBJ
tanned for these properties at private
sale than public auction.
Outstanding assets of the concern
now available are being collected as
rapidly as possible by the receivers
George B. Power, Oscar Newton, Jr.
and j. B. Fain, and they have secured
in cash about $1,000 within the past
few days. At the time of its failure
the National Warehouse Company had
less than 1000 bales of cotton stored
in its fifty-six warehouses, although
the declared purpose of the corpora
ton was to corner the cotton supply
of Mississippi and hold it for such
prices as the officers of the company
saw fit to demand.

FOURTH OF JULY
QUIETLY OBSERVED
NEARLY ALL STORES IN CITY
CLOSED AND DAY LOOKED
LIKE SUNDAY.

Friday had the appearance to some
extent of the Sabbath. ALI the stores
of the city were closed and no business
to amount to anything was transacted
during the day.
The banks and postoffice were dead
and the employees gone to picnic or
some other place of amusement.
The day in the city passed of quiet
ly. There were no accidents, so far as
could be learned, there were few
drunks to disturb the police, only one
drunk arrested, and the people who re-
malned in the city were well behaved
and moderate in their celebration. Big
crowds went to the Woodmen-Odd Eel
low picnic and the majority Of these
returned by o'clock.
There was some fireworks discharg-
ed by small boys, but no inconvenience
to any was suffered on this score and
the youths all seem to have escaped
without injury.
The Traction company ran 15-minute
schedules on all lines throughout the
day and appeared to do a thriving
business. especially in the early morn
ing and late afternoon. A large num-
ber visited the gun shoot during the
day.
Taken altogether Hattiesburg had

IN CASH BUT CHECKS AND

EVIDENTLY SKILLED SAFE BLOWER
Robbery Not Discovered Until Office
Was opened This Morning--Crooks
Used Tools Taken From Blacksmith
Shop.

A bold burglary yielding the crook
$f55.5O in cash was perpetrated Friday
night when the office of the Hatties-
burg Coco-Cola Company was entered
and the iron safe, located in the office
was drilled and blown with nytroglicer-
inc.
The burglary was not discovered un-
til the office employees reached the
plant this morning.
1t appears that having broken open
the blacksmith shop of Jake Letieo, the
thief secured there sledge hammer, a
file converted into a screw-driver, a
brace and an auger. Entrance was ef-
fected by breaking a small section of
a window pane and afterwards prizing
the sash upwards.
Evidently the work was done by
some one having a knowledge of safe
construction and who was familiar with
iron and steel working. A smooth
hole was drilled, exactly in line with
the center of the spindle. The charge
of explosive must have been light as
very little damage was done to the safe
besides blowing off the combination
and the slight bulging of the inside
plate to the door.
Having effected an entrance the burg
lar took out the inside cash box, car
ried 1t to the rear of the office, where
