The students at the Starkville Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college took
a fellow student out the other night
and after tarring and rolling him in a
bed of feathers turned him loose, but
he has not been seen since. 1t is not
stated what great crime he had COM
mitted, but great or not, we have
laws that fits every case and they
shuold be applied instead of this white
Gaping way of doing business. The
press and the people of the state must
condemn such actions it matters when
and under what pretense they are put
in force.

PROHIBITION In CANVASS.
VIII Try to Inject the Question in
Canvass for Legislature in
Various Counties.
Special to the Daily Progress

Special to the Daily Progress
Jackson, May "a determined
effort will be made by the state pro-
hibition campaign committee to in
ject the prohibition question in the
canvass for the legislature in the
varios counties. The committee last
evening issued a strong appeal to
those in sympathy with constitutional
prohibition, calling on them to organ
iZe, and see that men friendly to the
cause are selected. The appeal further
states that the campaign committee
is informed that in mum Der of strict
prohibition counties legislative can
didates seem TO be taken entirely from
the anti-prohibition class. Thi:
should be remedied if any ore expects
to have the amendment submitted by
the legislature which meets here mex
January.

CHILD LABOR.
w. c. T.U. and. Kings Daughters
Taking Up Fight for Child
Labor Law.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, May 6.-The charitable
organizations are beginning to take
up the fight for child labor law.
The woman's Christian temperance
union at special meeting held at Jack
son last evening declared in favor of
it, thus allying itself with the king 6
daughters who have all along been out
spoken in the opinion that some legis-
ation of the sort was badly needed to
protect the children of the laboring
| people of the state. There can be no
doubt but that the question will be
squarely presented to the next legis-
| tature and the probabilities are that
4 statute Of the tenor desired will be
passed. The matter has Salready been
discussed a good deal in Lauderdale
county and one of the leading candi-
dates for the legislature has come out
squarely in favor of the reform.
While the employment of child labor
does not appear such an evil just at
the present time in Mississippi the
time is rapidly approaching when il
will present a serious problem unless
there be some legislative intervention.

seemed to have an instructive fear of a
pudding blazing with Satanic blue
lights and took mince pie or fruits,
AS so much of Turkish cookery Is
based on minced meats the Turks
thought the mince pies were safe. The
Greeks and Armenians managed both
pie and fruits and ate with "good
coming appetite" everything offered
them. Then came coffee and cigars
and the ladies went back upstairs.
Mr.. Laffan-Hanly had his cue to
bring the gentlemen all up as soon as
he could, so that they might have some
Christmas games. They had become q
little more sociable among themselves
but as soon as they were back among
the women the different elements sep
arated again intoe their component
parts, and 1t was desperate work to get
them interested in snapdragon. The
Turks seemed to fear the flames of al
cohol and would not even try to pull
out the plums.
Finally one of the Greeks sang one
of the native seesaw caterwauline
songs, and after that the games were
given up In favor Of an impromptu
dance. The Persian and the Turks
