't When Dnll Mnlillen of Brooks sought to nrresl n nero charged wlh some trivial olense some two weeks ago he found him In n turpentine camp. Seeing himself sur- rounded by savage negroes urmet with Wln- chesters , riles and plslols the bailiff found It safest nol to attempt the arrest , and , tur- Inl his horse's head , sought to ride uwa ) ' . Two negroes named Jelreys fired on him , killing him , The citizens aided tim omcers , and after much chasing captured the two Jelreys and confined , thel In the Brooks : county jail. It said that u number of other negroes , under the leadership of'averiy Pike , formed an oalhbounl organization to I . kl.1 every man concerned In the arrest oC the Jelreys , In pursuance of this plot , Joseph Ilham was killed a few days afer- : Ward and Henry Timan was marked as the next victm , The killing of Maulden and the subsequent - . killing oC Isham have been told ut length I herelofore. The cause oC the Present oUt break Is two-fold. First 1 . the arrest of Wu- verJy Pike and bringing him 10 trial for the murder of Iham , anti , secomly , the breaking up of the gang DC outlaws who have shot dews ; good citizens and who threaten other lives. The white people have formed themselves Into u small army havIng this purpose In view. So far II Is supposed thai the follow . lag negroes have been killed : Sam Taylor , Eli Frazer , Harry Sherod , Sam Plte , George Fritz. A negro named McCun and two others named Herring are In the Brooks county jai I because they were present ut the killing of Isham and jive lupposell to bo accessories . A slate of terror exists In the northern per ton oC the county. Innocent negroes are coming Into Qulmun seekIng protection , ul1 the more conservative citizens have aslt:1 ' % the governor for protectIon by the militia. --1 Goveror Atkinson hM ordered out the . " mitary , but the companies have nol yet -t. been able to l reach the scene oC the trouhlo because oC Its remoteness from the raiiroad. The trouble In Drooks county Is over. Tle Vailosta Vldetes were ordered , , here last night by the governor. Captain Culerty , Lleutenunts Staten and Peoples , A. . Bass and : i Sheriff Thrasher at once visited the scene oC the truble , They found peace restored , and the citizens assured them there would , = , be no moro trouble , and they came back to 1 ItbC about 2 o'clock and the Vldetes I / .leC' ' on the afternoon train for Valdosta. The hi" . negroes were killed because they were sui - . . to know the whereabouts of \ supposed 1'lt , whose crime was the original Incentve to lawlessness. Good citizens ot the county will tp theIr utmost to bring to justice the men who are responsible for the .trouble. The latest reports from Brooks give the number of men killed us seven . IncludIng S Constable Nnutln , killed two or three weehi :5 : ago , and Joseph Isham , irhiito . and Sam Taylor. Eli I razor , Harry Shcrd , Sam Pike : and 'George Fritz , colored.

' In the south no halucinatons exist. In parts of the south , where white famies ure often completely bola lcd , each white man knows he and his family are In u positon of perpetual i'erii.

The power oC organization of the white lan Is far supcrlor lo that oC the negro , and In the case of u racial war the whites would have exclusive command DC the : ) ituntion. Such , a struggle , however , would : l. _ , bo far from ending the negro queston , The root of the trouble lies principaly In the fact tbat" negroes mUltply more rapid thy raplly than whites , who Insist on ruling , no mater at what cosl.
