QTTITMAN:
THURSDAY. APRIL 13, 1876,
Bible Society.
Wo are requested to say that a
meeting of the Brooks County Bible
Society, nnxiliary to the American Bi
ble Society, will be held at the Pres
byterian church, next Sunday after
noon, at 3 o’clock.
Before the HaTor.
Last Friday afternoon two dusky
feline denizens “Over the Railroad”
met and had a general “cussing-out,"
attracting tho attention of friends on
both sides, and causing a general split
in colored society in tho neighbor
hood. The two disputants finally
separated without coming to blows
but not before each one had delivered
herself of all the abuse and bilings
gate appropriate to the occasion.
Then, says old aunt Nancy Catling,
“do niggers commenced to carry dey
tales,” and by Monday morning two
cases were developed for the Mayor s
Court. Each one succeeded in mak
ing out a bad “tale” on the other, and
his Honor adjusted tho matter by im
posing sufficient fines to satisfy all
parties concerned.
New Druir Store.
We invite the special attention of
the readers of the Reporter to the
advertisement of Drs. Jelks &
Mabbett, who have just opened anew
drug store next door to Briggs, Jelks
& Co's., on Screven street. They
propose to keep up a full stock of all
classes of goods in their line, and their
establishment will really be an impor
tant acquisition to the town. Dr.
Harry Mabbett will have charge of
the prescription department, and Mr.
Isaac Mabbett wall assist him in the
general business of the store. Drs.
•Telks & Mabbett certainly might to
know exactly how to run a first-class
drug store, and they say they are go
ing tv, inaive it just s i,( *,, an establish
ment as has been needed in Quitman
for some time. We wish them suc
cess, and feel confident they will re
ceive the liberal patronage of the
people which they deserve.
“(Jeorgia Defended.”
Under the above heading we pub
lish a letter written by a North
ern gentleman, Maj. R. B. Wheaton,
to his home paper, the Waterbary
(Conn.') American , during his recent
sojourn of a few weeks in our com
munity. He was prompted to write
this letter by the slanderous nttack of
E. C. Wade in the Washington Re
publican upon Georgia, and the peo
ple of Brooks county in particular,
and our good citizens will doubtless
all feel grateful to him for his able
defense of them as peaceab'e and law
abiding people.
The many friends whom Maj.
Wheaton has made in our town and
county will be proud to learn that he
was tho Democratic candidate for
Representative to the Legislature
from his county, and was elected on
the 4th inst, by a majority of thirty
eight. This is considered quite a
victory by the party in that county,
ns it is the first time n Democrat has
been elected in twenty years. We
congratulate the Major on his suc
cess.
Removal.
By reference to our new advertise
ments it will be seen that our enter
prising merchant, Mr. Nathan Gazan,
has moved his stock of merchandise
into the corner brick building on
Screven street, formerly occupied by
J. R. Edmondson. His object in,
moving is to get more room prepara
tory to receiving a heavy stock of,
Bpring and summer goods, and he will
make things lively in the vicinity of
his corner this season. We welcome
him down towards our end of town,
nnd bespeak for him a liberal share of
the patronage of our readers. Mr.
Gazan desires every one who comes
to town to buy goods for cash to give
him a call before purchasing else
where, and if he cannot convince
them by his prices that it will be to
their advantage to buy from him, he
will not think the least hard of them
for trading elsewhere. He has two
active and attentive clerks, apd he
pays them to show his goods to all
who desire fo examine then}, free pf
charge, Gjyp bitp pel|.

Georgia Defended
[From the Waterbury (Cone.) American.]
Editor American: In justice to the
people of Georgia, with whom I am
sojourning, and with whom I spout
all of the last winter, and as a North
ern man whose entire interest is at
the North, I would contradict the
falsehoods contained in a letter writ
ten by E. C. Wade, United States
commissioner for the southern dis
trict of Georgia. Had Ino knowl
edge of the facts, ray acquaintance of
the people would justify mein saying
that it is false in every particular. As
for Toombs speech in Atlantal know
nothing, but can assure you that the
people of Georgia do not sustain him
in his extravagance, nor participate
in his bitter feelings. Mr. Toombs is
but a mere wreck of tho former man.
As to his (Wade’s) assertion that the
election in Brooks county was carried
by fraud and intimidation, nnd that
the Democrats turned out witli guns,
pistols and knives, and drove the Re
publicans from the polls, and announc
ed their man elected, is untrue. As
an evidence of the falsity of this, his
assertion No 1, the full vote of the
county was polled. I speak from the
records, ns compared with other elec
tions. Auother evidence of the falsi
ty is, there were two Republican in
spectors sent here from Atlanta to see
that the election was fairly held.
Another evidence of its nntruthful
ness is that Made was, ns he says,
United States commissioner. Would
he, as a United States officer, charged
with the enforcement of the Civil
Rights jbill, witness tho intimida
tion of Republican v oters and not
bring the perpetrators to justice? If
lie did he violated his oath of office,
and is unworthy of his position. He
says the riot was begun, by one of
the leaders of the Democratic party
striking a colored citizen several
heavy blows on the head with a heavy
walking stick. The records ofjthe trial,
taking both the testimony of the state
and that for the defence plainly con
tradict the defendant, who is now
hung. He was not spoken to by the
man he murdered, but abruptly called
him a “damned liar," and almost si
multaneously with the word, stabbed
him, from which wound he died, after
great suffering. Not a blow was struck,
except one by the murderer’s accom
plice, which felled the deceased to the
ground. This Wade knew to be true
when be penned the slander against
the murdered man. He knows that
the murderer was arrested and no vi
olence shown him;that ho was im
prisoned and a strong guard placed
at the jail to keep him securely, and
prevented violence to liis person.
This charge against the court, jury
and witnesses that they are perjured
ought to be investigated and lie
severely punished for such libelous
publication. His honor. Judge Han
sel, who presided, is regarded as a
pure Cliristain gentleman; the jury
was selected by the defendant out of
hundreds of men, all of whonie are
good citizens; the witnesses for the
prosecution were fnobably all white,
but were said to be men of good char
acter. The witnesses for the defence
were all black, and their testimony
alone was sufficient to warrant a con
viction. So much for his reckless
and unwarranted attack upon the
judge, jury and witnesses.
His intimation that the jury was
intimidated by Ku Klux is a base
slander upon that body of men. He
know them and knows now that there
never was a Ku Klux organization in
southern Georgia. As for the courts
of Georgia being engines of oppress
ion I neither affirm or deny it, but be
lieve bis assertion to be a slander.
But as to the United States commis
sioner's court for Southern Georgia,E.
C. Wade presiding, it has been assert
ed and can be proved that it has been
an engine of wicked persecution and
brazen-faced robbery. Innocent men
have been arrested under flimsy char
ges and forced to compromise with
him as a judicial officer at unreason
able charges, or give bonds for their
appearance at the district court. This
is the oppression that he would trans
| fer to the state courts. As to negroes
leaving Brooks county, that may or
may not be true. If it is so it is tho
only truth I see in the letter, but I am
assured by the citizens that the plan
ters are supplied with laborers and
that there is still a surplus.
And now, Editor American, although
I have differed with you heretofore
somewhat in politics, I have been a
subscriber to your paper for more
than twenty years, arid-know that you
are ready to expose corruption where
ever existing. I know you ars dis
gusted with the foul slanders against
the Southern people emanting from
scallawags to grain political favors,
who are willing to perpetuate strife
between the two sections. Such false
hoods as are embraced in the letter
of E. C. Wade are only calculated to
renew the strife.
