More Whitecappcrs Arrested.

Gov. Vardaman's policy of en-
ploying detectives from the Pinker-
ton agency to run down the white
cappers in Lincoln county continues
to bear good fruit, and at the APP
preaching court session in that
county some surprising revelations
are promised.
The governor has received word
from Brookhaven Of the arrest of
three alleged whitecappers named
Will Smith, Will Franklin and Os-
car Franklin. They are charged
with completely in the murder of an
old negro named Henry List, and
other killing charges are also slated
against them, Notice is also given
that warrants have been issued for
ten or fifteen other persons charged
with murder and whitecapping.
The lawless bands in Lincoln are
thoroughly alarmed over the formid-
able array of evidence that has been
collected against them, and the COM
ing court session promises to be t
most notable in the history of the
county.

Now that September Is really upon
us, we begin to feel that school is in
the very air we breathe, sure enough.
1t is a way most of us have to Il
off till the last possible minute dis
agreeable duties and unpleasant les
sons, hence as the last days roll round
before the opening of school the tasks
fairly pile upon each other, so many
do we find in need of our attention be-
fCSe we can with clear conscience
take up the great work awaiting us.
Nor are We all alone in our quandary,
for we note that teachers meetings or
various sorts-county institutes, farm
being crowded into these last days
and worked up with a vengeance.
Reports from these various meetings,
which are being held in all parts OF
the State, are cheering. and convince
US that our teachers are lending their
utmost of time, strength and talent
to the work of preparation for the
great privilege that Is theirs in be-
ing allowed to guide and teach our
youth. Some of the institutes have
been especially fine. and the attend
ance most gratifying. The good work
must go on until Mississippi, follow
ing in the wake of more progressive
States, will hold, in every county,
monthly meetings of her educators,
which will prove so pleasant and In
structive as to insure a splendid ct
tendance.
Nor are the teachers alone in the
present work of preparation for school
duties. The children, coming home
from mountain and from s~eashore,
from great plantations or from lust
the country" from Worlds Fair or
less ~pretentious ways of spending
their vacation, fairly revel in these
too brief last days." and all the time
are gathering up their books and max
ing countless plans for all the fun
and work that a long school year can
compass. Would that their plans
might all find happy execution n
their brightest dreams a sweet fulfill
ment and all the work their fresh
young minds take. up but add, with
each new effort, to the perfection for
which together pupil and teacher SO
honestly labor.
