In sceeaalen times wo had tcijt big men,
Who gas’rt and talked quite free i
Hut none ever hoard of vary big words
That fell from the lips of Lee.
Ho made no promise to drink the blood
Which the hostile ran ka would shed,
Nor eat tho muskets, and whip the world—
They were not the words he Baid.
ITc didn't swell like a Tom Cat’s tail,
Nor demand from his State the sword,
And swear lie would take It nnyhow,
And whip the yankee horde ;
Ha never said cotton was the King,
Or d—d if he did’nt die
In the flgliting-ditch, in blood and
His drink never made him dry. .JjMB
He never said that thirty yanks
Could be whipped by a Southern man--
Then after tho war turn radical,
Like .Bullock* and his clan.
11c never licked the oppressor’s hand,
A'or chewed liis tobacco twice;
Never bugged a nigger for li is vote,
Nor was bought at the Devil’s price,
There is many a one arm’d reb to-day,
Who has heard the voice of Leo
Encourage in the gallant charge
That swept to victory 1

Established facts are silent arguments which
neither pen nor torgue can shake, and it is
upon established fads that the reputation ol
Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, as a health-pre
serving elixir, and a wholesome and power
ful remedy, is based. When witness, g come
forward in crowds, year alter year, and rei
terate the same statements in relation to the
beneficial effects of a medicine upon them
selves, disbelief in its efficacy is literally im
possible. The credentials of this unequalled
tonic and alterative, extending over a penod
of nearly twenty years, inelude individuals of
every class, and residents of every clime, and
refer the most prevalent among the com
plaints which afflict and harass the human
famiiv. Either a multitude of people, stran
gers to each other, have anuuallr been seized
with an insane and motiveless desire to de
ceive the public, or Hostctter’s Hitters for no
less than a fifth of a century, have been af
fording such relief to sufferers from mdijes
tion, fever and ague, billiousncss, general de
bility, and nervous disorders, as uo other pre
paration has ever imparted. To-day, while
the eyes of the reader are vpon these hues,
tens of thousands of persons of both sexes

engenders, and is not mis

G LOU G;i A :
By RUFUS B. BULLOCK ,
Governor of said State.
Whereas, on the night of tho IGth of Jan
uary last Jaiucß Eider, a colored man, resid
ing on the plantation of Doctor Eider, in the
county of Clarke, was taken out of his bed
by-seven or eight disguised and armed per
sons, who had forcibly entered hia house,
and after liaviug, by tluA, been taken out
side and stripped of his clothing, was whip
ped in a moat cruel and brutal manner, in
flicting near one hundred lashes upon him :
and,
Whereas, it is reported that no other reason
was ascribed by (hose parties for thus treat
ing the said Elder but that ho had publicly
commented upon the fact that some of the
marques and clothing used as regalia by the
organization known as the Ku-Klox Klauhad
been discovered by a colored girl hid away
undor a pile of corn shucks on the planta
tion, and had been warned by certain white
persons not to repeat his statements in regard
to this discovery of Ku-Klux regalia ; and,
Whereas, outrages of similar character
have lately been perpetrated upon unoffend
ing and peaceable colored citizens in said
county of Clarke, without effectively enlist
ing the efforts of tho good and law-abiding
ciiizens ot said county to bring to justice the
guilty parties; and
Whereas, the peace and tranquility of the
State demand that active and strenuous ef
forts should be made to prevent iu future a
re-occurrence and repetition of tho outrages
so frequently committed ol late in said coun
ty of Clarke :
Now, therefore, in order to vindicate the
majesty of the law, and to insure full protect
tion to the life and property of every citi
zen, I Rufus B. Bullock, Oovsrno- ol said
Siate, do hereby issue this, my proclama
tion, offering a reward of Five Thousand
Dollars for the apprehension, arrest and con
viction of any one of the parties engaged in
the perpetration of the outrage above reci
ted, and One J’housand Dollars each for any
additional number more than one of the
“Klan” engaged in committing the outrage
above recited.
Given under my hand and the Great Neal ol
the Nta’e, at tho Capitol in Atlanta, this
second day of February, in the year ol'our
Lord A’tglitcen Hundred and Seventy one

By RUFUS BBUtLOCK,
Governor of said State.
Whereas, reliable iuforma'ion has been re
ceived at this /department that on the night
of the 18th ol January, ultimo, a parly of
disguised men, known as the Ku-Klux Kian,
about thirty in number, went to the House ol
lion' Alfred Richardson, a colored citizen
and member elect to the Legislature, residing
in the town of W&tklnsvillp, county of
Clarke, and after having forcibly effected an
entrance by cutting down the door of the
hon.-e with an axe, some eight or ten of
them proceeded np stairs, to where the in
mates had fled for safety, and upon finding
the said R-chardaon, commenced firing upon
him, and seriously wounded him in three dif
ferent places ; and,
Whereas, the wile of the said Richardson,
while standing at a window calling lor help,
was shot at ten or eleven times by some ol
the party who had remained outside, all the
shots taking effect in and near the window
she was (tanding by ; and,
Whereas, this is the second attempt, to as
sassinate the Baid Richardson, which ha
been made within a recent period ; and,
Whereas, the authorities of the said coun
ty of Clarke have failed to ferret out or to
secure the apprehensiou of the perpetrators
of the outrage above rocitod, notwithstand
ing one of the members of the Klan, a
white man named James Ponder, a resident
of the county, was badly wounded and car
ried away through the county by the o her
me mbers of tho Alan, and as is repo ted,
has since died and been buried without in
quest :
Nos-, therefore, in order to effect this oh
j -it and to maintain the sacreduess ol ltu
m.n life, I, Rufus B- Bullock, Governor ol
this State, do hereby issue this, my procla.
motion, offering a reward of Five Thousand
Dollars for the apprehension, arrest and con
