cap outrages in Southern Mississippi

echoes, and the disturbances are prac
tica1ly at an end. Between the white
caps and the labor agents the result
both set out to accomplish has been
brought about, which neAirally sug-
gests that It is high time for both par
ties to quit operations.
The latest work of the whitecaps
was the notification given the man
ager Of the Cumberland Telephone
company at Osyka and Magnolia to
take all telephones out of negro houses.
The manager declined to comply with
the request and has offered a reward
OF $100 for the arrest of the parties
who sent the notice.
The whitecaps burned the home of
a. negro named Williams, living In the
neighborhood of Johnston Station. on
Saturday night. Williams disregard
ed the notice to leave the communi-
ty before Jan l.
In many of the communities the
whttecapers have been thoroughly
quelled by the massmeetings held by
the law-abiding citizens and the sew
eral arrests made have convinced them
that the crusade Is determined one.
