WHAT THE NEGROES DO WHERE THRY
PREPoNDERATE IN POPULATION.
Vicksburg is the centre of the Africa
of America. The city is the largest In
the State, and the county seat Of War
rem county. Yet the total white popu-
lation in city and county in 1870 was
| only 1907, or u number that would not
be considered excessive in AN ordinary
Ohio township. The black population
was 1862. which has Decn largely in
creased by i constant flow of country
negroes from. .he great interior tOVicks-
busg.
The next county above here is Issa-
quena. The reader will hardly believe
me when ] state the population as re-
turned in the census four years ago 1t
Is white TAI, black 6, ,146! What do you
thin: of large county which contains
but seven hundred and forty one white
men, women and children? Yet these
few. whites own nearly if not quite ev-
cry foot of groun! IN the county, and
pay nineteen-twentieth of all the tax
es. Owning the soil. they actually
of government. To be sure they can
vote, but what do one hundred white
votes amount to when covered up by
one thousand black votes? The ne
groes fill all the offices with negroes
and pile on the taxes without remorse.
Col. Gordon Adams tells me that in one
| of these heavy negro counties thcyhave
actually got the taxes upto eleven and
a half per cent.
What agricultural county on earth
can stand one-half such taxes, or one
fourth? In Kinds county, just backof
Warren, the taxes have been gradually
increased from S3. 30 on the 81 900 of
valuation in 1868 TO s24 this year. And
almost in exact proportion as they 70
up the price of property goes down,
except on the assessment rolls. The
assessments are kept up nicely. Col.
Adams tells me he has fee of 81, 500
against plantation worth 300, 900 in
gold before the war, yet he cannot en-.
force the collection without running
the parties interested. Rural property
is not half, and in many instances not
one-fourth as valuable as in the year
after the war, The man who under
stands these things, and then complains
that the whites are not as mild as,ioves
forgets that they are human.
But to return to population. The
county just above this, as have shown
has a negro population of nearly ten
to one. The next county above that
Washington, has white population
of 2, ,164, and a black population of 49,
405: This is the "black belt" indeed.
Yazoo country, back of Issaquena, has
a white population of 4, 1884, and black
population of 1895. Kinds is white
1895; and black, 20,859 Claiborne,
just south of Warren, has white, g.
800; black, 9,996. The next county,
Jefferson, has white, 1915; and black,

A CheerfuI Prediction.

The C0mercial List, always sound
and conservative, ventures in modest
way to assume the mantle of prophet
although considerably prefacing its
remarks with the disclaimer ain
these days it is risky to set ourselves
up as a prophet. Our forte Is in re-.
cording facts, not in writing romance,
hence VIC prefer to adhere to our cal
ling" But forgetful of this expression
OF preference for confining itself to the
domain OF fact, it gives the following
opinion in relation to the spring trade,
which, coming from so sound source,
ought to inspire, cheerful feeling ins
the hearts of those who have felt de-
spondent in regard to the future to
trade:
The most that can safely be done is
to study the indications as they present
themselves to the careful observer and
draw such conclusions therefrom as the
premises appear to justify. Following
this rule the next spring trade promises
to be large and profitable, and calcula.
tons are being based on that anticipa.
tlons by most business men. During
the first week of the year an immense
amount of capital is thrown into cir
culation by the payment of dividends
and interests. In all parts of the coun-
try this cannot be less than $500, 900,
ooo, representing the profits of the last
years transact .ons. Though much of
this will doubtless find investment in
speculative channels, large proper
ton will be employed in mercantile
and industrial enterprises, thus impair.
