In view ot the many unpleasant
sayings or intimations ns to tbc
result of a Democratic victory and
the elevation of Cleveland to tbc
Presidential chair, as conscientious
and avowed members of the Re
publican party and supporters of
Blaiae, wc would say to you that
the result of tbc election, whether
in favor of Cleveland or Blaine, can
have no effect upon or in the least
change your political or social
staiUB as a race in relation to your
rccdora or your right of franchise.
These are fixed fauts, both in the
Federal and State constitutions.
Let no reports or savings to Lite re
verse of this assurance mar the
peace and harmony or disturb the
quiet of your people. We have
no thought that either party desires
or would ask for such a change in
the politicnl status of your race.
Be quiet, respect the laws of your
country; in a word, connect your
selves with no mobs. Let us have
peace. W.w. A. Black.

We, the undersigned citizens of
Sumter and adjoining counties,
have learned witli profound gratifi
cation and thanks of the election
of Cleveland and Hendricks as
President and Vice’-Prcsident ol
the United Stales. We bail tbe
restoration of Democratic micas a
return i.o honest government, and
economy in the administration. For
over twenty years tbe Republican
party,by false promistsund broken
pledges, deceived tbe American
people, and particularly the colored
voters of the Southern States, in
stigating antagonism between tbe
white and colored citizens, when,
in fact and truth, tbe whites and
colored are voters and citizens ol
tbe same genial clime and identi
fied by tbe same interests and in
dustries, and except as deceived
and interfered with by designing
politicians and pretended friends,
have enjoyed a common peace and
prosperity unknown under any sim
ilar circumstances.
The while and colored democrats
of Hie South do not desire to dis
turb tbe enfranchised condition ol
tlie colored voter, but guarantee in
tbo election of Cleveland and lien-
dricks prosperity, happiness, ami
peace to all white and colored, with
full and free equality before tbe
law for all, without restrictions or
loss of any rights now enjoyed un
der tbe constitutions of the United
States and Georgia. Wherefore,
let ua all rejoice.

Late Saturday evening tbe news
reached tbe city that * Deputy
Sheriff Cobb bad been seriously in
jured while arresting a negro, and
that Will Fcngin bad shot the negro
dead. Nothing definite could be
learned until Sunday morning,
when the negro, Si Tooke, died in
tbe county jail from the effects of
bis wounds. Coroner Ouerry im
mediately impaneled a Jury, who,
after bearing the testimony ol
Sheriff Mize and Deputy Ragan,
returned the following verdict:
“We, the jury, find that the de
ceased came to his death from a
pistol shot in the hands of W. H.
Cobb, deputy sheriff, it being justi-
fiiablc homicide.”
W. C. Godwin, Foreman.
Monday morning a Recorded
man visited Mr. Cobb to get tbe
circumstances as detailed by him.
He was sitting up, with b.s left arm
bandaged with splinters. It bad
been broken below the elbow by
the second btow from tbe negro's
gun. He was feeling cheerful, but
was suffering severe pain. In
answer to our question, be gave
tbe following account:
“Tooke lived on Bagley's place,
at Stewart’s crossiug, and was the
tsrror ot the neighborhood. Two
warrants were out against him for
assault witii intent to murder, one
issued last year, and another at the
last term of Superior Court for
shooting a negro on Neil Ray
place.”
“Last Saturday afternoon Sheriff
Mizr, Ragan, Fagin and myself
went out to arrest him. Mize and
Ragan went to the front door ot
h e home and Fagan and myself
toward the back door. He came
nut of the back door as Mize op
preached tbe fiont, and was watch
ing Mize and did not sec us going
toward him until ve were within
fifty lect ot him, when I ordered
him to surrender. lie answered
that he would diu before he would
be taken. 1 then yelled for all of
us to rush on him; that he could
not get one o! 11s before we woul
get him, and I rushed for him my
self and got within six feet of him
when I asked bint again to surren
dcr. lie said, ‘God d—n you, 1
will kill you,’ and struck at me
with bis gun, the blow just grszing
my bead as I jumped back,
commenced backing from him, and
he advanced on mu, raising bisgun
and striking again, this time break
ing my left arm. I bad a pistol in
each band, and fired with the one
in my left, trying to disable him.
He came again at me with bis gun
raised, and I fired with tbe pistol
in my right bind, nnd calling lor
Fagin to shoot, which lie did. Fa-
gin wanted to shoot before, but I
told him not to three or tour times
as 1 thought wo could get him
without. When lie struck me the
second time, I knew it wus either
him or me. If Ragan or Mize bad
fired, there would have been danger
of hitting Fagin or mysel 1 '.”
“The negro’s ides, as he told his
wifo afterwnrds, was to run away
from Mize and R igan until he saw
us,nnd then he determined to kill
us and run. This made the third
lime that I had been alter him.”

Criminal Carelessness.
Monday afternoon Mr. J. A.
Cobb bail 9 halos of cotton burned
in front of Mr. Geo. W. Council’s
residence, 5 miles southeast of
town. The cotton was cn route
for Americus, and the boy, who
was aent along to look after the
wheels, etc., stiuck a ma'cb «i h
which to light iiis pipe,and the fiio
was communicated to tbc 1 tail of
cotton, and up to 5 o'clic't tbo
bands bad bgcn unable to quench
the flames. The cotton will prob
ably be a total loss. So much for
carelessness.
Tbe Fair.
Of late, on account of the many
other means of excitement, nothing
has been said abont the Fair.
Notwithstanding this fact, tho
committee have been working and
I should judge from the number of
handsome donations reported that
they had done their work well,
and when displayed in their mag
nificent armory during the week
beginning on Monday, November
23d, surely it wi 1 win the admir
ation of. all, for I could report
donations that I know of, had I
timo and space, that are sufficient
to liken it unto a palace. Next
week, however, there will he a full
and complete list of all donations
published both from abroad and at
home, and by the way, I bid in
formed that the local committee
wi'l begin their work on Monday
next, and I certainly hope tb.'our
merchants and the public generally
will give the Light Infantry their
liberal support. Nothing will be
lelt undone, I am satisfied, that
would tend in any particular to
make the week one of perfect en
joyment to all who attend. Prof.
Cutros’ band will be in attendance
during tbe entire week. On tile
opening night the Broom Brigade,
uniform, wid nresent to the
Light Infantry the handsomest
fiag in Southwest Georgia. Im
mediately thereafter there will be
a ball, to which the friends of tbe
company will receive nn invitation
through the columns of this paper,
and every night thereafter during
the week dancing will be indulged
in from eleven to twelve o’clock.
