difficulties are left unreservedly to our selves we are all the more bound to deal with them calmly. seriously. justly. The freedom of the South from outside in- reference will not tempt the South to abuse or oppress an unfortunate and teip- less race. It must put us, all the more, upon our honor. There will be much to try our patience. There will be many temptations to resentment. But the her negroes than all the rest of the world South, which has already done more for of the South, will meet the responsibili- ty which Is placed upon her. We ave said that if the world would let IS a.one, would keep hands off.' would sllow us to adjust ourselves in our own way to our own situation, justice would be done and that our conditions would be happier not only tor ourselves, but for our ne- groes. The world is taking us at our word. The South, I believe. will keep faith with her word.
 The many expressions at Richmond in behalf of better advantages for the un- privileged masses of our white ps ople showed that the question of white edu- cation, really the greatest question be- fore the South today, Is commanding the increasing interest of our whole coun- try''

ANTONIO DUKES is PLAYING
THE GAME OF JOE CAMPBELL
Special to the Daily Progress.


Jackson, March 3O.-suspicion is
rife among citizens of Copiah county
that Antonio Dukes, the condemned
negro who was granted reprieve by
Governor Longino in order to secure
his testimony in the Boyd poisoning
case, he having declared that Boyd
had made damaging confessions to
him, is playing a game similar to that
of Joe Campbell, the Yazoo county
negro who saved his pevious neck i'll a
similra method for the short period
of ten days by declaring that he had
accomplices in the crime and asking
PERMISSION to go before the grand
jury and testify.
Boyd has maintained such close
mouth attitude toward all other per-
sons since he was incacerated in the
Hazlehurst Jail that there may be
some grounds for suspicion regarding
Antonio Dukes and his motives, but
his real purpose will be revealed
within the next few days, as the
Copiah circuit cuort will meet next
Monday and the Boyd case will be the
first taken up on the criminal docket.

BIG POLITICAL POW-W0W
at WIN0NA, APRIL 6.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Jackson, March Boa big political
pow-wow will take place at Winona
on the sixth of April, at which all
the candidates for governor and other
state offices are expected to be pres
ent. It is not likely that Governor
Longino or Senator Money will be
present to address the multitude
which will gather from several coun-
ties, but Senator McLaurin has
promised to be present and discuss
national issues, so it is assured that
practically the entire day will be de-
voted to speechmaking.
Winona is somewhat noted as a
political gathering point, the cam
paign of 1900 having been opened at
that place, and a formidable array OF
candidates were present. The COM
ing event, tits believed, will eclipse
that of three years ago in the size OF
the crowd and number of candidates
The aspirants for minor state offices
will content themselves with a mere
introduction to the audience. anC
brief speeches, while the gubernato
torial candidates will occupy the
| lions share of attention.

Ml,STRlAL
Was Result of Case in Court Where Negro
Was Charged With Stealing.
Had Inherited his Foraging Instincts From
His Former Master During the
CIVIL War.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, March 30.-Joe Strong,
an old negro, was tried in the circuit
court at Aberdeen last week on the
charge of stealing two yearlings and a
COW. The attorneys for the defense
adopted novel plea and, while they
did not succeed in getting an acquit-
tai for their client, the hearing re-
suited in a mistrial, and there is
much doubt whether the darkey will
ever be convicted. Strong served
during the civil war with his young
master, Chas. Strong, who held rank
as the ablest forager in the regiment,
and the defendants attorneys con-
tended that their client had inherited
his foraging instincts during the
dark days Of civil strife, and his for
mer master was the negro's shining
light and example i'll all material
things. Pursuing this line of de-
Tense, one of the lawyers recited the
touching poem of 9. E. Merrill,

production analogous in fact and
sentiment, and the poem producted
such an impression on the jury that
majroity OF the number were fol

FARMER MADE $500 ON THREE
ACRES OF SWEET POTATOES.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, March 30.-The logic of
diversified farming in Mississippi is
emphasized by the experience of a
Grenada county farmer who planted
three acres of land in sweet potatoes
last year. He has just finished
marketing the crop, receiving an
average of 70 cents per bushel for the
yield of eight hundred bushels, or
about $500. He still has two hun
dred bushels of seed potatoes left
worth one dollar per bushel, and will
i try diversified farming again this
year on larger scale. The same
three-acre tract two years ago was
planted in cotton and raised about
lone half bale per acre, the gross in.
come being about $50. This object
lesson can be found in many Other
counties in the state, and it is graft
flying to note the general manner o.
Tits exceptance by the farmers.

but thus far no official announcement
to this effect has been made and the
chances are likely that none will be,
and Judge Critz has been counselled
by his strongest supporters not to &C
cept the challenges, and that his own
interests would suffer, even though he
should be successful in the special
primary.
There is no doubt as to the genuine
ness Of the offer of Mr.. Fox, and the
claim has never been made that he
was only blufflng, but at the same
time the challengeis accepted as an
adroit piece of politics, and Judge
Critz is perhaps doing we'll by letting
it severely alone. Mr.. Fox is per-
sonally acquainted with nearly every
voter in the county, and would very
probably defeat his opponent in
such primary.
