FOUR MONTHS GONE
And Not a Single Lynching Has
Occurred in The State
This Year.
Special to the Daily Progress

Jackson, April Mississippi is
now in the middle of the fourth month
of the new year, and thus far not a
single lynching has occurred within
the state since the year opened. The
unusual length of the interval since
an instance of mob violence occurred
has given rise to much speculation
and comment among students of crime,
and some interesting theories are ad-
vanced therefor
1t is asserted by some that the scar
city of lynchings is due to the plenti-
tude of legal hangings, that the two
forms of execution, not in an anti
thetical manner toward each other,
and as one mode increases the other
must decrease.
The official records apparently sup
port this theory, for more death SEN
fences have been handed down in the
courts of Mississippi during the past
year than druing any two years of the
stdtS IlstOiy slHCo tllo WAL, anu tue
courts have been more prompt in dis
posing of cases involving capital pun
ishment While of course there is nc
telling when or where mob violence
may break loose. the showing thus
far made for 1908 is one of which the
law-abiding people of the state are
justly proud.

TO WORK FOR CANDIDATES.
Naive Confession of Editor Walker
of the Williamsburg Watch
man Journal.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, April 13.-On one or two
occasions during the present campaign
the charge has been made or intimated
that certain persons were being in
fluenced to vote end work for candi-
dates by methods that are not exactly
honorable by right-thinkig people,
and much poblicity has been given to
the abusrdity of newspaper and
repretorial trust" domiciled at the
state capital to further the interests
of favored aspirants for public
places. In view of these charges the
| following naive cofession from Editor
Walker, of the Williamsburg Watch
man Journal is of passing interest:
"Ye editor was treated to a very
fine cigar this week by Press Watts,
candidate for circuit clerk. Press
Watts is nice gentleman, and he
should receive the nomination.
After making this candid admission
of how he was influenced, the editor
announces himself as a candidate fol-
Justice of the peace. and whoops NJ
the voters like this:
| Keep in your minds, gentlemen,
that we are still running for justice
of the peace. We are running fast
but just at present we can't tel
whether we are running the Office OF
from it. Help us, ye voters, to rul
towards it. -

Disorderly Limerick Jarvies.

At the Limerick petty sessions on
Friday before Mr.. Hickson, R. NJ, and
Mr.. Poole Gabbett, several cases
against jarveys of disorderly conduct,
etc., were heard. In some of the cases
the offenses occurred during the Col
leen Bawn fete week. Michael Nor
rissey was summoned for disorderly
conduct and furious driving. It was
proved that the shaft of the car struck
a lady and knocked her down. For
the first offense the defendant was
fined los and for the second dos or
months Imprisonment for disorderly
conduct. James Culhane appeared in
custody to answer six charges, viz.
allowing his horse and car to OBJ
struct the cars and passengers going
to and from the Fete-drunk, disor-
derby conduct, assaulting Sergeant
Murphy, and knocking down people
in the street. and also knocking down
a horse, and further disorderly con-
duct. Mr.. Forrest (High Constab!e),
in answer to the Court, said he did not
intend to renew the mans license. Mr..
Counihan, solicitor for the demense,
said the defendant appeared to have
been mad with bad drink, or else he
would not have so misconducted him
self. Mr.. Hickson said the man ap-
peared to be a savage. For two Of
fences he would have to pay fines of
40s, or be imprisoned for two months
In respect of four other offenses, in
Guiding the assault on the sergeant
and knocking down the horse ne
would have to go to jail for month
for each offense-in all four months
without the option of fine and two
months in default of payment of two
fines of 40s each.
Mr.. Counihan appealed to the Bench
to give the defendant the option of
fine, as he had not been previously
charged.
Mr.. Hickson said they declined to
alter their decision and they also de-
clined to give leave to appeal.
A jarvey named Herbert was fined
20s for disorderly conduct at the Col,
cen Bawn Fete. Mr.. Moran, solicitor,
for the defense.
John Mccormack was fined 20s for
/ like offense.

The Latest Irish News.
Dublin Weekly freeman, July q.

at the garden party given by Mr.. Geo
Moore IN connection with the Oirea-
chtas OF 1902, with the author himself
in the part Of the romantic tinker.
Contrary to expectations, the play
was not produced in the open on Tues
day, there being some difficulty about
arranging for an open air perform
ance. The performance was given in
the theatre of the institution and was
witnessed by large audience. Miss
Flanagan, as the Fairy, acted her part
with ability, and Mr.. Cathal MacGar-
Vey, as the Tinker, was also very
good. The fairy music, which was
specially arranged for the play by
Signor Esponito, was sung by the st.
Mary's place choir, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Vincent O'Brien, and add
ed considerably to the attractiveness
OF the play. At the conclusion of the
play DR.. Hyde was called before the
curtain. In short Irish speech he
thanked the audience and expressed
the hope that that would not be the
last Gaelic drama that would be pro-
duced there. He hoped and expected
that that place would be as Gaelic as
any part of the country, because the
Christian Brothers were always work
ing to make Ireland Gaelic. He
thanked Miss Flanagan for her splen-
lid acting, and he was not forgetting
he Tinker Qaughter). Where was

Strike in Cork.

The Cork coalporters' strike still
continues. The Federation men, who
arrived from Liverpool on Sunday
were on Monday engaged in discharg-
ing the vessel Yorkshire. The work
proceeded slowly. Two sympathisers
of the strikers we're arrested during
the day on charge of having at
tempted to assault the imported men.
A large police force was on duty in the

struck work, so that no coal could be
delivered by that firm. The imported
men are being housed and fed in a

Cured few nights ago and almost

ravages of the blight are most notice
able, acres of what was promising

and burned to the ground. Old far
mers state that in their experience
nothing so disastrous since the fam
inc of AT has ever occurred and al
together the outlook for the poor of

Gordon-Bennett Race.-ArriVaI of the
English Cars.

The English racing cars for the
Gordon-Bennett race have arrived in
Dubnn, and from their construction
and dark green color could be easily
distinguished driving through the city
daily. The chief feature of these cars
is that while the maximum speed at
tainaple is limited to about 80 miles
an hour, the cars are so constructed
as to be very quick in starting and
stopping. By means of special
clutch they can be started at top speed
SO that there is no loss of time in
changing gear, and the car gets into
it's top speed at once. The cars are
capable of going over the whole course
without change of gear.
