Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-12-18

The subject of good roads is being
discussed again by the papers of tn,
state. The discussion comes up twice
every year, once i'll the winter or fal
and again in the spring. These ar
the seasons when the roads are bad
and when they are more frequently
travelled But they are bad at all
seasons. They are cut up by wagons
in the winter and spring and remain
cut into bitches in the summer. But
all this talk does not amount to row
of headless dress pins. The legisla-
ture will never take any steps toward
improving them because the members
are afraid if they force the farmers
by law to work the roads farmers will
not return them And the same idea
prevails in regard to dogs. So accord
ing to this deduction the farmer will
continue to work the roads and plod
along in the same old Tuts, breaking
his vehicles and quarreling with his
wife and whipping his children and
once in while killing a razor back
sow because she ate one of his pretty
hound puppies. But he will not stop
to think that the bad roads were the
cause of the fuss and the fights and
the frazzled end of his existence

WHITECAP OUTRAGES.

The thing seems to be getting des
perate over in Amite county. a
party who lives over there and is ia
miliar with the circumstances writes
letter to friend in Hattiesburg in
which he gives a very gloomy account
of the situation He says that the
negroes are neraly scared to death and
are thoroughly demOraliLed. He men
toned cases where white men had
gone TO the negroes and warned them
to leave the county in certain time
if they did not give up their lands
which they owned or partly owned.
The object of the whitecappers
seems to be to prevent the negroes
from working for men who own the
greater bulk Of the land in the county,
but force the negroes to work for the
small farmers. One case is cited
where a merchant owns agreat body Of
land on which are working many
negroes, some on their own lands
bought from the merchant and
others on lands owned by the mer-
chant, and that this merchant is sup
posed to be furnishing them with
goods from his stores These negroes
have been warned and many of them
are leaving while others will not
venture out, and hence business of
all kinds is pretty we'll demoralized.
A special from Jackson has the fol
lowing:
The whitecap Outrages in the south
ern part of the state continue to be a
source of great disturbance to the law
abiding element Of the people and in
dignant protests against the race war
agitators are daily going up to the
legal authorities.
Yesterday afternoon a committee of
the citizens of Lincoln county came
up to Jackson and had a conference
with Judge Robert Powell, the circuit
Judge of this district, Lincoln county
being within this district. lodge
Powell went over all the grounds of
he matter with the committee and
states that the situation is alarming
IN the extreme. Race feeling and
rancour has been aroused to such a
pitch that it is impossible TO reason
with the people and they continue to
threaten to drive the negroes from the
county.
Judge Powell suggested a remedy
to the committee which will doubt
less prove effective if carried
through and vigorously applied.
The judge told the gentlemen that if
they would go back to Lincoln and
get the names of the guilty parties, or
as many of them as possible, and have
affidavits made against them he
would go to Lincoln and sit in the
cases as u conservative of the peace,
hear the evidence and where the testi-
mony was sufficient he would assess
fines and Imprisonment penalties
against them. This method will serve
to keep them out of mischief until the
grand jury can have an opportunity
to inquire into the trouble.
The judge advised the holding Of a
mass meeting of the law abiding peo-
pie to organize and prosecute the
offenders and create moral sentiment
against the race agitators.

Some towns have died very dead
because the business men of them did
not have any confidence in their fu-
ture. This is not so common in this
state as it used TO be, but it is too
frequent the case now. At one time
Hattiesburg business men did not
have the confidence in this city they
have now and hardly a cent was put
into any enterprise or industry of any
kind. All this has changed Every
man who has the money is putting it
