A MAN’S LIFE THREATENED.
A Plot to Kill a Prominent Bartow
County Citizen.
It is Disclosed by ii Negro Who was in Jail
With the Thirteen Euliarlee I< inters
—A Card From Mr, brake.
The neighborhood around Taylors
ville and Euharlee are laboring undei
another excitement It is the discovery
of a plot of a number of negroes to main
way with Mr. B, T. Leeke, who, last
September, arrested a negro for making
a most fiendish attempt at outrage and
subsequently quelled a lot of rioters who
attempted to release the prisoner.
All-. Leeke has received the following
letter:
Cedartown, Ga., Nov. 1, 1889.
Mn. B. T. Leeke —'Dear Sir: Ihaveonr
negro in jail here who was in jail at Car
tersville with the crowd that you had
I put in there, and he will tell you all
. about their plans and will be an impor
tant witness in the case, as he has heard
them talk. He says your life is at stake
in the matter; if they get out they in
tend to kill you and burn you out. You
had better get Sheriff Roberts and come
over here at once and get the names ol
others that were into the mob, as vou
have not got half of them yet. Re doe.-
not know their names, but says Mr
Kobei t.s will know them who came into
liit jail to see those who were prisoners
See Roberts and find out what negroes
went to the jail to visit the prisoners. Ii
is a bad mob, and ought to be pushed to
.the full extent of the law. Your friend,
J. A. Wilson.
Concerning the above Mr. Leake writes
4he following:
Taylorsville, Ga., Nov. 8, 1889.
E dito RS Court A.N T-AM KItiCAN ; I received
the enclosed letter a few days ago from
the jailer and deputy sheriff of Polk
county, Ga. 1 don’t fear the threats, if
openly made. It would be my pleasure
to meet the issue by being put ou notice
Ten to one. sneaks and incendiary do
their cowardly work under the cover ot
night. Should they succeed in accom
plishing their plans, they w ill not rob me
of many days, and I think I have enough
friends in this county left, to retaliate
without calling on those who hav<
bonded a portion of them out and sent
them back upou a law abiding commun
ity. B. T. Leeke.
Manv of the citizens of the community
fear that an attempt will be made to
carry out the threat, and are preparing
themselves for any emergency. The
negroes have not been open in theii
threats, but have acted in a manner
that has excited suspicion.
The trouble which Drought about this
state of affairs occurred oil the 7th 01
last September. A negro bv the name
of James Yarbrough had attempted an
outrage on ayounggirl who was staying
at the houseof Mr. Leeke. Latent night,
when all had gone to bed, the negro
forced an entrance into the sleeping
apartment of the girl, and making his
way to her bedside he pulled the cover
down. This was as far as he had gotten
for the noise he had made attracted the
attention of others in the house. A
match was struck and the negro was
seen and recognized as hemadehisescape
into the darkness.
The negro was arrested the next day
by Mr. Charlie Leeke, who is a bailiff in
that district and a sou of Mr. Bryant
Leeke. He was carried to the home of
the latter gentleman, where he was
guarded until he qould be brought to
town and placed in jail.
Sunday night following an attempt at
rescue was made by the friends of the
negro. A band of about fifty excited
aud desperate negroes gathered around
the house of Mr. Leeke and swore that
they would have him. They were armed
with shotguns, pistols and knives, and
it seemed as if serious trouble would oc
cur. It was averted, however, by thecool
bravery of Mr. Leeke and his son. Al in
ing themselves they stepped out in front
of the crowd and informed them that it
would be death to the man who advanced
a step. With many mutterings and
curses and vowing of vengeance the ne
groes retreated and it is supposed soon
afterward dispersed. Early the next
morning Mr. Leeke brought his prisoner
to Cartersville and placed him in the
county jail.
Warrants were sworn out against sev
eral of the negroes who had made the
attempt at rescueand they were arrested.
Two Charges were against them, one for
riot and the other for attempt at rescue.
At the city court last month the rioters
demanded indictment, and their cases will
not come up until the January term of
the Superior court. Several have given
bond.
It is hoped uo further trouble will come
up and the law be allowed to mete out
justice to the depredators.
“Standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,"
is a period of “maidenhood’’ which is
perilous in the extreme to a vigorous,
healthy womanhood. Reckless exposure,
at certain times, which induce irregular
ities, has wrecked many a fair young
fife. To all afflicted with derangements
of a uterine nature Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescript,iou is of inestimable value. It
is the# only medicine for women, sold by
druggists, under a positive guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give
satisfaction in every case, or money will
be refunded. This guarantee has been
pfin+ed on the bottle-wrapper, and faith
fully carried out lor mauy years.
