6 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, I.IKK MICKATOltY IllltllS The People Go Proin Place to Place r Weather C hance*.
