CORRESPONDENCE.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31, ’BB.
Editor Savannah Tribune:
Pltuse allow me space in your
columns to say a few v»ords in ref
erence to the statement in your is
sue of the 25th, touching upon the
Wilkes county affair. Those ac
uqainted with the history of Geor
gia, and especially Wilkes county
are not at all surprised at the action
of the Democrats of that section in
threatening trouble to speakers in
opposition to them. We are all ac
quainted with their record, and
know that the very air of VV ashing
ton, Ga., is pregnant with depreda
tions a& vile as the human mind can
conceive. However ambitious we
be for the success of our par.y
‘'we might consider with profit, the
past action of out opponents m cer
tain sections. We have no men to
sacrifice, especially in localities
where useless experiments are to
be made. We are aware oi the
pluck and fearlessness of Messers.
Pledger and Davis and know that
it does not require much encourag.
ment to place them on the forbid
den ground, but we need them
( where they can do more effectual
work with safety to themselves.
Already has the devil been let
loose in Lonsiana, and other South
ere States. Under the pretext
that violence is threatened by our
people, and they have been shot
down like game. In every case
they have reported a general up
rising of our people, and strange to
say that not a colored man is found
using violence on any body. Tbe
colored people have been "secreting
guns” and preparing for a general
war in'some pints of Lousiana. and
. .have everything for their protection
right at hand, and offer no resist
ance when tbe enemy com* s. This
is too thin, the truth of the mattei
is apparent to every thinking man
Fin the country. The congressional
and presidential elections are ap
proaching, and the “Solid South” is
resorting to her same old methods
- *to retain her position.
Threats, intimidation and murder
precede every National election in
the South, and the Negro is the
recipient of all of it, in localities
where there is a ghost of a chance
lor tqe election of a tn<m.
The Republican party of the
North, fully knows the spirit and
pride of the Negro, to battle for
the party They also realize how
little protection there is thrown
around him in the exercise of such
duties in the South, It becomes us
L therefore as thinking men to take
| care of ourselves and yet retain onr
: position with the party. We cau
, not afford to hazard our lives among
a set of men who have no regard
‘ for law and order. Let us advise
our men to steer clear of such seo
| tiom* until Republican ascendaucy
I shall warrant further and especially
I in a State where we have no G<>v—
: ernor tv offer reward for the cap
ture and punishment of those who!
violently treat ns.
Yours for Safety.
J AMPS E T\tr
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF
GEORGIA.
Macon, Ga,. September 3, 1888.
Your committee sftet a long and thorough
consideration of tbe subject of pnUing out a ;
Republican ticket for State house officers in |
which matter it yr.is authorized to act in '
view of the pecu'iar circumstances of the time
have resolved that no ticket for State house
oifice.B be put in nomination by t.hr.;*party
this year.
As in many counties in the State, in caae
of an honest election, then- seems to be a
fair opportunity to obtain Republican mem
bers of the General As-embly, and in other
counties an opportunity, perhaps, to co-op
erate in securing members othei thv Kc
I pu: iicans who will meet to some degree our
I demand in supportTof liberal appropriations
for public schools in support of a movement
, for the repeal of the chain-gang system and
tn support of all well directed legislation
tor the suppression of intemperance., It is
earnestly recommended that all Repti' licans
exert themselves to the utmost to sec re -uch
members by putting Republican candidates
in the field for Representatives and Senators
where there is a fair prospect of electing by
supporting in oilier 'ocaii’ies, candidates in
opposi'ion to the regular Democratic nomi
nees. who will v te. to carry out such meas
ures as will best subserve the interest of the
people and that every voter who has not
done so see to it tlyit his taxes are paid in
preparation for the discharge of such politi
cal duty.
f’ It is further recommended that the Repub
licans of each Congressional district in
■ which there is not already a nomination,
, present a candidate for Congress and give
him an earnest support in the approaching
‘ national election.
j Certain districts having
failed to present candidates for presidential
' Electors by any action of a district conven
, tion in obedience to instructions given to
your committee the following named persons
‘ are hereby placed in nomination as the Re
publican candidates fcr Electors in their
respective district, to wit.’ Second district
Beni, F, Biimberrv. fourth district R I. C.
Kelly, sixth district Benj, J, Jones, seventh

TROUBLE WILL BE THE RESULT 1
THE DEMOCRATS OF WILKES COUNTY
DETERMINED 10 CONTROL
BOX.
Bailey Mills, Sept. 5. 1888,
Editor Tribune; Dear Sir.—The
above heading is copied from vour
paper of the 25th. which as a quota
lion ot the Banner-Wa;dim i (D -m)
Athens. 11 appears tl at Messrs
Madison Davis and W. A. J’ltdger
whom tiie Republicans oi Wd es
county delights to honor by giving
them an invitation to address them
at Washington, Wilkes county, Ga,
lo mar tbe peace of tile good peo
ple oi that town, some young I) m
ocrats or mobocrats passed resolu
tions air dust tbe speaking of those
true loyal mii» of Georgia These
gentlemen (Pledger ami Davis) art
law abiding citizens and i-, as much
entitled to -peak in Wnkes county,
as they have to assemble and speak
in the legislative hall last April.
Some of our Georgia Democrats
Would allow the Irish, Italian, Jews
Ciiiuese, G-rmans and any other
kind of men to come here and
speak in Georgia except the black.
Wiiat has i lie blacks done that
bring about this hatred? Is it his
freedom? It so, they will hate ns
a long time yet. We are ready and
willing to fall in with the good
white people of Georgia to help
make her what she ought to be.
But when it comes up to party
question, we will decide that for
ourselves; but if those ill disposed
Demoorais or inobocrats think that
the Negro is a mule and that they
can bridle and ride him to the poll,
and make him vote they are sadly
mistaken, because this Negro mule
, will kick and spoil the intention of
! the wiseacres. It is said that if
, those gentlemen would go in Wilkes
county against the (Dem.) notice,
, trouble would be the result. W hat
I is meant by that? Kill them be
. cause they are colored Republicans
and been invited by their friend*
to speak? I’lns threat reminds me
, of something 1 heard in 1881, when
, the Legislature was about to re ap
portion or re-district the State,
and about to transfer Bm ke county
Irom the firs* district to the tenth,
’some earnest object! were offer
led because they said that "The
i tenth would be too hard for the
.Democrats to control the Negro
I vote.’ The advocate ut the bill
I said "1 know you will have a luaiori
ty of Negroes in your district but
you c,n m mage them by doing
| what has been done before,” I un- j
• derstood it. A bint is Mifti.-ivui.
When the p« oplv’v .wak d the tin
l.iirness at the pulls Ine Democrat-
say we are waving the bloody shirt
They Say that they will control the
ballot box of that county. Yes we
understand how th it was done ano
: about how thev expect to do it
j again. In the year 1880 the white
I people paid $997.00 poll tax and
colored people paid $1440.00 poll
tax, but when the election tor pres
ident came that year they counted
for Hancock 727 votes for Garfield
193 votes, for Governor Colquitt
1,74 a votes. The population ot the
county is 5,170 whites, and 10,815
colored. Showing the latter more
than double the former, but doubt
less with such audacious bulldozing,
bushwhacking, ih:eateniug and in
timidating, the Democrats, mobo
crats or hypocrites had control of
the ballot box of Wilkes conn V
No higher pnvdluga is guaranteed
to an American citizen than the!
protection of his life, liberty, prop-I
erty and the pur.-uit of happiness
Yet one ciasn of citizens are deter
mined to control ihe other in the :
exercise ot lights given by the or
ganic laws. Every citizen should
feel at liberty to go where he
pleases, speak what he pleases so
tar as he i- authoriz'd under the'
laws of his country. By ad legal;
means thos<- speakers should go to'
Wilkes coirn'y and speak to those
who coiled lhem. Let the result be
what it may. It those voting Dem
ocrats can stand the racket kt them
shoulder tiie outcome-. Yes gentle
men spe k to those who called you.
Every tounty ought to invite Re
publican speakers and see io it that
they are protected under the laws
of this country. Does our porten
tious friends intend to lead us to
the polls blindly? If they are in
error because the Negro will hea
and see too before voting; let us
hear both sides of ti e question that
we may vote with an understanding
Mark the prediction: ‘patience will
cease to be a Some day.
We are not waving the bloody
shirt, but we are oblige to speak
when tbe Democrats attempt to tie
their red bandana over our eyes.
The Georgia Baptist describes the
bandana is the old slave woman’-
bcad-handkeichief. He i< right
and we don’t want it over heads
now,but give us the star-spangled
banner, and it wiil suffice as,
A. Wilson.
items From Egypt,
Editor Tribune; Dear Sir-—I had
the pleasure io attend (he anniversary
ot the Masons and the order of the
Sons and Daughters "f I-are! of this
c unty ar Mr Dewis J .nes’ place near
Egypt, Effingham county. A concourse
ot innumerable people attended the me-t
ing from’BuhocK, Sei even and this conn
ty. Att-r the different orders flu shed
up their business for which they wen
called out to attend. They then :ormed
themselves in a line; th- older !ead,rs
in from and the young, r ones c min.t in
ihe rear. They begun t > march at the
tap of the drum and the s uod of the
fife, at me e'm>uand of the chimpi n
Mr. Lewis J -nes, the procession went
around the buildings several
times with the magical art of music.
The Order and spectators
then gathered under a very large oak in
liout of the building. A speech was
delivered bp Rev. Wm H Hamburg on
secret orders who endeavored »o make
secret order second to that of the relis
ion of Christ and the 'b. st temporal
thing on earth for the development ot
the people into Christianity, morality
and unity. The Orders then
again formed themselves in a procession
and marched around the premises sev
eral times keeping up the usual pump
of music with fife and drum till they re
turn back to the front of the building;
when the Masonic order separated them
selves from the Isarel order went up in
to the upper temple t iontcmd the great
sacred wisdom that they had gotten
from the wisest man that ever lived in
the epoch of sacred writ. The people
indeed had a nice time and exhibited
the best of politeness mingled with good
manners. It is not far distant when
this country shall ring with sweet music
of improvement of very description tor
our race. The p <-pie are bee'in.ng edu
cated every day and at a rapid stride at
that; not only in letters but also in their
morals and religions. At 2 o’clock pin
the Masonic order came d wn fr tn rl.eir
temple, when the bom was announced
by the managers ot the dinner tai le
that dinner was ready. Evervbofy
then marched up t< the table wi. ie
they found to their surpris refreshments
ol every description. The crowd then
eat sumpteously. Ihe Israel uder
tneu assembled in tin- low r r om t ar
tend their great secret a d other btisin
j css tbit they had before them, after W'iJi
they maiched mt ti iif >rm<*d in proe, s

I themseives into a ring performing cer

Mr Judge Brown, who Fiver a- Egypt
They then listened to an able speech de
> livered by Rev Inman Bryant, who has
iev r proven to this people to be their
frieud iu every respect and who gave
i them a g"od spe«ch, mingled wish good
■ advice and everything that is good for
the betterment of the people, fighting
for the thing that i> right a-d fighting
. to k'li th., wr ng that damages the peo
ple of this country and others. The
P ipe was {p it called upon to say seme
thing ot interest to the people of the
three adjoining counties and of course
he put in his best licks for the honoring
of the people of this country and Har
risen, Morton, Snelson, Johnson, and
; Atkins were n >t at ail forgotten in this
meeting. The best <4 licks were put in
| for the above nameji candidates and the
iconcourse of people wi'h a vociferous
; voice endorsed the tickets of the Repub
i lican party, and by their wavs and ac-
I tion.- that no pains will b-‘ spared at the
; polls in doing what they can for their
1 standard bearers of the great party of
which they constitute a part.
