Negro registration has surged from 30,000 to 194,000 since 1963, and 120 Negroes are running for office-making it likely that Mississippi soon will have its first black sheriffs and legislators since Reconstruction. White registration, however, rose by 140,000 during the same period...

Bevis found that the 100 had tucked away $950,189,000 to cover deferred tax payments, but eventually paid out only $20 million of that amount.
