THEY RESOLUTED- 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.

BALLEW--FOTTER Thats The Attraction At Nevins Tomorrow night ; THE BEST SHOW YET Will be on Boards tomorrow night and if you wa. t to enjoy the new yeartreat of managers & Son get tickets. 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.
