jackson, Feb. "a. The whitecapper
element in Mississippi has been thor
oughly cowed by the determined op-
position shown by the courts and
officerss of the law, and the combined
aggressiveness displayed by state and
federal authorities has had a most
salutary effecting the hotbeds OF out
lawry. Over fifty persons are now
either under arrest or out under bond
ON the charge of whitecapping, and
in majority of instances the prose
cution has first-class evidence against
them. This has thoroughly brighten
ed others inclined to indulge in SINH
lar outrages, and in communities
where arrests have been made no
further trouble is anticipated.
Only one outbreak has been reported
among the whiteeappers within the
past three weeks, and this occurred
in a section of the state that as
heretofore been free from disturbances
of this character. In the southeastern
part of Lauderdale county bundle OF
switches and threatening letter were
left at the home of well-known cltl-
zen, and much excitement was stirred
up for few days, but peace and quiet
has been restored and no further
trouhla ia feared

Gaping at the May term OF the federal
court in jackson. The state prisoners
arrested in the counties of Lincoln,
Amite and Franklin will be tried
during the next few weeks.
With the near approach OF the
planting season in Lincoln, Amite
and Franklin the farmers are express
ing great regret that the whitecapping
and labor agent troubles caused a
general exodus Of negroes from those
sections, an many of them are in a
dilema, being unable to hire laborers
to plant the crops. Thus they are
reaping the fruits of their own folly
and the negroes toward whom the
hostile acts were directed are happily
located in the prosperous delta section
where good wages and freedom from
molestaion are assured.

DELINQUENT TAX LISTS ARE
SMALLER THAN LAST YEAR.
Special to the Daily Progress.


Jackson, Feb. "a. In nearly every
county in the state the tax collector
have published their delinquent real
estate lists, as they are required to dc
By law after the expiration of the tax
paying limit on the first of February.
In a majority of the counties a
gratifying showing has been made, as
the delinquent lists are much smaller
than those published last year, show
ing that there is plenty of money in
circulation, and that land owners
generally are more careful in settling
their obligations to the state and
county. Lands in Mississippi are be-
coming too valuable to be sold for
taxes, ana the price of real estate has
been steadily increasing for the past
year.
Although property owners are more
careful in settling their obligations
on realty, it cannot be said that the
same caution is being used in settling
the poll tax obligations. The Sea-
wright law requires the publication
of all poll tax delinquents before the
first of April, and these delinquent
lists will be larger than ever before.
It is unfortunate that the law does not
allow the boards Of supervisors to
make an adequate compensation for
publishing the names Of the poll tax
delinquents in the county papers. for
thus the true object of the bill is
defeated in many counties where the
delinquent lists obtain no further
publicity than being posted on the |
court house door.
