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 $06 DOLLARS IN GOLD TO BE OUTER AWAY!

The home boys returned on a special train late last night, thor oughly worn out. They had a hard day, some of thorn getting no breakfast, and all of them being served only with a sandwich aud a cup of coffee for din- Supper was equally as acaut. W. E.
