CAMILLA TRIAL ENDSPEACEA

Themssvllla Guards Want *o Camilla
to Protect Negro Williford and hod
a Hord Day—Splendid Precautiona
ry Measures Taken by MaJ. Wyley
Commanding.
Thouusville waa la a state of anxious
excitement yesterday. A telegram came
from Governor Terrell Wednesday
night ordering Major Wyley and Cap
tain Brown to report at Camilla Tester-
day with Thomasville’s complete com
pany to protect the negro Williford
who was scheduled for trial at Camilla.
The soldier boys had just returned
from Manassas and had scattered
everywhere. They responded to the
call thoogh like tree soldiers, and when
falling-in time arrivad there were 37 of
tliem in line. ’ They presented an uu-
usually martial and determined air aa
they went to the depot. The effect of
the bard.encampment waa plainly vis
tide. The step waa that of a veteran
and tho mein that of a different sort
from the Statesboro army.
Major Wylly recognised the India
uslble value of canth It, and he placed
a lientonant and three men on the en
gine to xee that tho train waa sot inter-
feared with. The omnioos order “load’’
waa given before the treope got in tho
train; it wae responded to in a more or
mi ridiculous way by bystanders. The,
scattered aa U they were the offending
m n b.
Williford, the man who caneed all
this xtir, had bean brought to Thomas-
villo from Tallkliasaee early in the day
by Deputy Faircioth. He waa placed
in the middle of the company and
ught to hava felt aa safe aa a bag Hr a
rag. He is a little negro and has a stiff
leg, and unarmed would be a baby in
anybody’s hands. His repntation lias
been unsavory for a long time, and
tils face bean out the reputation.
The detralnment at Camilla wns no-
oomplinhed with the ntmoet facility.
The Albany and Americas companies
had arrived soma time in advance of the
rhomaaville boys and were in waiting
for them at the depot. A hollow square
street wide, was immediately formed
and tho negro placed inside. In this
fashion the long march was made from
the depot to the Camilla oourt house.
Upon arrival there Williford was tak
en under heavy guard to the court room
on the second floor. A cordon of sect!
uele was thrown completely around the
court I loom end orders were given thorn
to allow no one to enter the yard with-
out express direction from the com
inandtng officer. If any offender re
fused to halt after being summoned
three times to do so the sentinel waa to
shoot. Eaoh stairway was guarded aud
i company of reserves stationed in the
oourt room.
These measures proved thoroughly ef
fective. Not the elighteet demonstra
tion waa made, aud after it waa all

BE OUTER AWAY!
