THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: WEDNESDAY, JULi 22, 1891.
GREATLY MAGNIFIED
THE REPORT OF A RIOT AT
OGLETHORPE
TVhich Steadied Americas Yesterday—'The
Kkci Were not AgmlnsttKach Other—True
lteport of the Kntire Affair—All Quiet
There Last Night.
Rumora of an ugly race riot at Ogle
thorpe during the early hours of yester*
day morning How thick and taut In
Americus yesterday.
It seems that a conductor on an early
train over ttitt Southwestern road
brought the news that a party of white
men wero whipping a negro as his train
paused, and that armed mobs of whites
and blacks wore about to have a pitched
battle.
The report spread and created no lit
tle excitement hero. All who heard it
made anxious inquiries for details, but
none could be received. The fact that
Oglethorpe had made no call on Ameri-
cua by wire for aid, seemed to satisfy
most of those who were interested that
thorn was no trouble to amount lo any
thing—if indeed any troublo at all—at
Oglothore.
I’arties who passed through Oglo-
thorpe on tho train which arrived at
Americas at 1 .00 o'clock yostordry afror-
noon, said that they saw no sign of any
riot. Tub Timks-Rkcordkr, however,
made a careful investigation of the mat
ter. It was found that while there was
a slight coloring for tho rumor, tho re
ports which readied this city had boon
considerably magnified. The particulars
aro theso:
Last Saturday two negroes who wero
loading watermelons got Into a scrim
mage with tho rinds. Ono of them ac
cidentally hit a white child and was
ordered by tho child’s father to quit
throwing tho rinds. Tho negro bristled
up and threatened to strike the white
man, but when tho white man advanced
on him with a stick he ran off.
A largo force of negroes wero near by
loading melons in cars. Some of them
urged the darkey who had run to go
back and tight. Soon a largo crowd
gathered and a race riot seemed pronble,
but the prompt arrest of the ring leadors
soon qnleted the affair.
Theso worthies were taken before
Justice Iiofley Uonday morning and
fined. Falling to pay their fines they
were shackled and put to work on the
streets. Some of them were obstreper
ous and swore they would neither work
nor pay the fine. But they did go to
work when ordered. "
All day there were some muttering!
among the negro melon loaders. Mon
day night some of them became quite
threatening. No notice wae taken of It
except by a few white men who were
also loading melons and consequently
thrown among the negroes.
Oglethorpe wss sppsrently very quiet
all Monday night, but yesterday morn
ing Bill Stubbs, a negro wbo Uvea In
the eastern suburbs of the place, weat
before Justice Lofley and swore out a
warrant against Frank Phillips, Charley
Norris and Lee tnnith of Montezuma,
and Thomas Cox of Oglethorpe, all
white, charging them with riot. He
ehdinad: that they took him ont of his
bouse daringMonday night and tried to
force him to lead them to the stopping
places ot the negroes who were making
the threata the afternoon before.
Officers were given the warrants to
serve. Yesterday afternoon the parties
charged with riot by Bill Stubbe ap
peared before Justice Lofley, waived ex
amination and gave bond for their ap-
pearancA at the next term of Macon su
perior court
Last night Tub riuxs-RxcoBDER was
advised that everything was quiet at
Oglethorpe.
The feeling between the white* and
blaeka of that place is generally good,
and no one seems to apprehend any fur
ther disturbance,
