Southern LawIessness."

When the Chicago Tribune an
nounced that more than 200 mur
ders had been committed in MIssjs
sippl between January !, 1904, anC
April ! Of the same year, The matter
was taken mp by the press and the Of
ficials Of Mississippi, and the results
OF a careful investigation in each
county showed these facts. First.
instead Of more than 200 murders
within three months, the total mum.
Der within the period, between Jan
uary ] and November Is, 1904 al
which time the report was made
was 297, by far too many, even az
one homicide is too many, but there
is a vast difference between POO in
three months and 297 in eleven
months.
But there was further showing.
from official data, that Of the 297
murders, 230 were committed BY
negroes. More than that, it waa
shown that the largest percentage
OF the murderers were not among
the old time negroes, but murders
done by negroes the oldest of whom
was not thirty years of age. In com
menting on the subject the Fort
Worth Record says;
"The population OF Mississippi is
made up in round numbers of 700,
900 while people and 100000 ne
groes, while of the homjcidcs $50
were committed by negroes and 81
by white people. While the homi
cides of the entire country are est
mated to be one to every 1855 poo
pie the average by the white people
are less than one to every 10000
white people, and less than one
to every $4,000 of the states entire
population"
It is barely probable that the Chi
cage Tribune will give prominence
as great to the antidote as it did to
the poison, for ii the statement Of
more than POO murders committed
in the three months, there was no
analysis of the figures and nothing
to show the great number done by
negroes on negroes. As the story
was told it bore the appearance Of
lawlessness among the whites, for
the north never takes into consider
alton the enormous percentage of ne
gro population in the cotton states
save when a wall is raised over
their "downtrodden condition"
