Quitman, G*., Dec. 21.—(Sptcial.)— Oa top of' Brooks county's already black record of crime, I will have to chronicle two more—one which Is per haps the foulest murder that will ever bi recorded In history of this county. Mr. Joseph Isom, one of the largest and most prosperous farmers in the county, was in Quitmuia yesterday. While here he had some words with Waveriy Pike, a negro living In Isom’s neighborhood. It passed off all tight, and Mr. Isom went out of town and reached hia home, which la about ten miles north of here, at 8 o'clock. He unhitched his team and Started hack on foot toward Capt. Tillman’s, his fa.tlri'.r-ln-fci'w, in company with his bivther-io-law. Mr. Henry Tillman. They did not get more than about half a util* from ImttiR Iwhen they met four negroes—two on home- back In froot of two In a wagon. They recognized V,'uV.-ri> Pike in the wdguu and Wen McCtlll on the hors;. The negroes came up pretty fast, and came very near riding over Mr. Isom, when Mr. Isom said: “Lookout, boys, don’t run over m;." Just oa lie uttered tho sentence, Pike drew his pistol and fired without a. word of wanting. The bail entered Isom's heart, and |hs died in stantly. Pike and McCall tired thr.-e Moots each at Isom after he fell, none of which took effect. Pike then Jumped off his horse, got Into the wagon with the two Herring nvgroea and remarked: "By , I’ve ki.led Joe loom,’’ took the lines and drove off at the top of tiie horse's speed. When he reached home, he Jumped out and ran for the woods, sad Is still at large. The two Herring negroes find McCall were captured anil lodged lr\ Jail this HARDEE 'NOT GUILTY.

The whole country for miles around has turat-d out In search of Pike, and the g.nerul prediction Is that If he is cutout' the standing army of the Uniied States could not keep him from bci.ig lynched, for Mr. Isom wus ad mired and loved by everybody—black and white. The other crime mentioned waa the robbing of a freight train here by a gaug of negroes headed by Dan Car- roll, a ntgro detective who has b;en in tile .employ of the SaranniD, Florida aud Western railroad for the past ten years..

The Democratic party for years has asked -the people for a chan :o to bring prosperity to their doom. Two yen re ago that request was granted, and what Stas been the result? Not a single pledge has been redeemed nor a single promise kept, but the entire machinery of the party has been placed tn the hands of that class of Individuals who have been tn the past, and are oven now, Che curse of the greet plain people of the country. The people bad relief to expect from the Democratic, party, and the results of last November may be taken us a lively reminder of their disappoint ment. and I venture the assertion that If the pres*nt bill becomes a taw the people at to* next election will wipe out the Isdt vestige of the Democratic party.
