The Blacks of Book's County Talk
With Sense.
CONDEMNED MURDERERS
And say That the White mob
Contained Only About 100
men. Condemned Also,
the Reports That
Were Published.
Savannah, Gn., Jau. I.—A Morn
ing News special from Quitman
Ga., says:
“At a meeting of several hun
dred colered citizens held today at
which every district of the county
was represented and of which Hen
ry Williams was chairman, the
following resolutions whfo unani
mously adopted.
“ Resolve, 1. That wedo hearti
ly approve aud concur in the reso
lutions adopted by the bjard of
county commissioners of Brooks
county at its last meeting with
regard to the recent crimes com
mitted in our community.
“ ’2 Tnat we earnestly hope
that Waverly Pike will be brought
to a speedy aud impartial trial for
the killing of Mr. Joseph Isom,
and that he may pay the penalty
if found guilty, by the courts;
and we hope the murderers of our
race shall be speedily forced to
trial and compelled to pay the pen
alty for the crimes; aud that we
urgently appeal to the authorities
to arrest the persins charged with
theee murders and to indicate the
naajestf of the law.
‘3. That we repudiate and con
demn the published reports in re
gard to this unfortunate affair
which were calculated to cause
trouble. Without attempting in
any way to make excises for the
crime of Waverly Pike, we say
without hesitation ani after full
investigation, that tlii people of
Marion district were 'not armed
and prepared for a race war, but,
on the contrary made every effort
to avoid any trouble with the mob
of 75 or 100 people, most of them
now residents of our county, which
in the search of Waverly Pike,
committed the most itrocious
crime in the history of the county.
We wish to clear the good name of
our county from all such troubles.
“ ‘4 That we are glad to say that
the best 0 tizens of our county
condemned ih unmeastred terms
the recent acts of lawessness in
our county. We beli'Ve if they
had not coms to our ie' p as soon
as they did, more nurders would
have committed,
‘“5. That we r>quest the press
that haa given such wide cir
culation to the false reports in
connection witi this affiir to pub
lish these reSo'Uions.’’
Growing in Unpopularity.
St Johni, N. F., Jan. I.—The
unpopularity of the government
measure for guaranteeing bank
notes, which was passed by the
council a few days ago, is daily
growing in intensity and a public
meeting under the auspice of the
high sheriff of the colony will be
held to-morrow to protest against
the governor signing the bill.
At all events the agitation of the
noteholders is likely to force the
government to adopt a more satis
factory method, and petitions are
being circulated for signatures
praying the governor for the ap
pointment of a royal commission
from England to look into the
subject.
The government is divided on the
matter of requesting it; several
,nfluential members favoring the
appointment of a royal commission
but the professional politicians
vehemently oppose such a step.

When Mrs. Potter made her fir
appearance in London, ten year*
ago, the critic* of that city, with
out exception, declared underly
ing her crudeneas, she showed in
dications of unmistakable talent,
and predicted that in future years
she would be heard from as a pol
ished aotreas. Their predictions
are now verified, for Mrs. Potter,
on her present American tour, has
received the highest praise from
critics in every city in wh|oh she
has appeared. Her eiigag’metff
here in conjunction with Mr. Bal
lew, and supported by an excellent
oumpany, is announced for Wed
nesday, January 2nd in their la
test success “Charlotte Corday. ”
The repertoire of this oompauy
is exceptionally strong aud popu
lar, and presented with such excel
lent artists should prove a most
attractive one. Mrs. Potter, a na
tive of New Orleans, is devoting
her life to the stage, has worked
hard and faithfully to accomplish
the object of her ambitions, and
although in the past she has been
assailed to an unwarranted degree
—particularly the New York crit
ics—she has succeeded in making
those who were most bitter in their
attacks acknowledge that she is an
actress without a peer in Ameri
ca .
Mr. Ballew, years ago, won his
spur from the stage, and is inva
riab'y acknowledged as one of the
best romantic actors of his time.
FROM THE WEST INDIES
Change of Ministry in Hayti -
France’s Demand
New York, Jan. 1.-*-The Dutch
steamer, Prinz Frederick Hendrick,
which arrived this afternoon from
West Indian ports, via Port-au-
Prince, December 24th, brings the
news that at the time of leaving an
entire change in President Hippo
lyte’s ministers was about to take
place.
Everything was very quiet, al
though a great scarci'y of money
and hard times prevailed. Three
French men-of-war were in the
harbor of Port-au-Prince.
It was reported that they would
proceed to San Domingo to enforce
a claim of the French government
against the government,of San
Domingo, owing to the arrest of a
French subject for the recent rob
bery es a large sum of money from
the Bank of San Domingo,in which
President Herreaux was implica
ted.
There was one Spanish gunboat
at Cape Hayti. An English and
another French war vessel were
also expected at that port te aid
in backing up the claims of France-
Hungary’s Crisis.
Buda Pesth, January I.—Em
peror Francis Joseph has returned

that the presidency of council will
be accepted by Count Hedervary,
ban of Croatia, with a coalition

From Kentucky
Cincinnati, 0., January I.—The
remarkable scene of a man begging
and pleading for his life, claiming
fear of lynching, was witnessed in
Judge Buckwalter’s court today.
The prisoner was A. 11. Hampton,
alias Jackson, a tall colored man
indicted in Marion c*unty, Ken
tucky, for shooting and wounding
a fanner who accused him of rob
bing his orchard.
Hampton fled to this city and
was arrested this morning. When
Hampton was brought into court,
his face assumed a sickly hue and
he trembled so violently he could
hardly assume a standing position.
Stretching out his long gaunt arms
to th* judge, he moaned :
“Oh, Massa Judge, don’ send
me to Kaintucky. I ain't no cow
ard, butdey want ter lynch mo.
Dat’s the way they does down
thar. I get letters telling me that
they would string me up. ”
Judge Buckwaiter asked Mr.
Penn if he had heard of such
threats.
“Yes sir,” was the answ r. T;
the court, with his fingers point ■<.
at the deputy sheriff, said :
‘‘Four months ago I sent on ex
tradition papers a fugitive from
justice into Kentucky. He was
lynched soon after he loft the train
The authorities broke their word
with this court. The state of Ken
tucky broke faith with her sister

Hampton was returned 1/ jail.

After they got all they could
