"S QUTMAN , an . , Dec. 2 , -The northern
. porton oC Drooks , portions of Worlh , Berrtn
nnll other counles nlJolnlng ( , have large nurnan
bore of negroes , mostly brouh from North
Cnrolnn for the purposes of extracting tur-
pentn which nbolnls there anti they live
In camps nnll arc n lawless bant , conlrolell
only by fear of punishment from the bosses.
Without any rcslralnlng influence , save
fear , they fight among themselves , rob the
neIghboring people , gamble Incessantly when
nol nt work , ant If any reshlenl white mnn
. Incurs their 'lspleasure he Is marked ns n
. victIm of their wrnth.
'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. J Is believe (1
hero that the trouoble Is practically over , and
" that the appearance of the military wi c I-
Cectualy end it. '

LONDON , Dec. 25-ln u leader on the

the Post this morning says : I Is harlly

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. '
That u critical point has been reached ,
however , Is shown by the fact that the
negroes display a tendency 10 stand by men
of their own race and aid them If sired t IC .

negro , and In the case of u racial war the
whites would have exclusive command DC the :

: l. _ , bo far from ending the negro queston ,
The root of the trouble lies principaly In
the fact tbat" negroes mUltply more rapid thy

than whites , who Insist on ruling , no mater
at what cosl. Against such univeral con-
victon there Is no appeal , nor Is It posslblo

evidence of the capacity of the negro lo

The idea of setting the negro question by

Tine Cliff house was 1 world famous resort ,

CII house are frame slruc"res and were

In additon ( , there were wile balconies , Crom
which the seals could bo viewed . About 100
feet lo the north arB the new salt water

a row of sheds and fences ,
The baths are Immense frame structures ,

On the heights above the Chill house are I
