LEAVING IN LARGE NUMBERS
The Negroes of Amite County,
This State.
,ecial to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Dec. 29.-The federal au-
thorities have received advices from
Amite county stating that the negroes
of the county are leaving in large
numbers ON account of the whitecap-
pers outrages, and each day shows a
large volume of departures from the
rural districts. The negroes are
thoroughly terrorized over the hos
tility shown them, and, having no
assurance from law-abiding citizens
that they will be protected, are emf
grating to the delta by the hundreds
where they are promised the right to
work and earn livelihood without
molestation.
1T is now stated that the federal
authorities will take cognizance not
only of the Outrages toward persons
on homesteads lands, but also in all
other Gases coming under their notice.
An examination Of the federal stat
utes shows that Judge Niles is clothed
with full power to- exercise jurisdic-
tion where labor is threatened or in.
Inundated by one or more persons, and
the statutes on the subject are very
stringent, the fiev varying forms of
the otfense being punishable as fell
ony.

law.abiding citizens Of Lincoln county

day in Brookhaven has Immediately

GOLD BRICK MAN is SET FREE.
Governor Aycock Pardons A. H. Daley,
of Chicago.


Raleigh, Aug. 5.-Governor Aycock
has pardoned A. L. Daley, of Chicago,
Ills, one of the gold brick swindlers,
convicted at Greensboro. The case cf
these swindlers attracted attention ali
over the country. Some of them were
wanted in other states for similar Of
fenses. They were convicted 13
months ago of conspiracy, and Daley
was given a 17-year sentence in the
penitentiary here. He played the part
of an Indian.
Governor Aycock gives the following
reasons for the pardon: Prisoner IS
pardoned on the recommendation of
numerous citizens of Chicago and Nil.
waukee, who certify that they have
known him for many years and he has
always borne a good character until
the present offense. His pardon is
recommended by Senator Mason, of
Illinois, and by many of the city Off
GERS of Chicago; and is also approved
by the solicitor of the district and by
the sheriff of Guilford county. 1t is
clearly shown that the prisoner has
never been. charged with any offenso
before He is offered employment in
Chicago, and it is represented will
at once go into useful work"
