Exciting Experience With Negro.
Saturday afternoon about six
o’clock Mrs. \V. R. Hammontree
had quite an exciting experience
with a negro at her home on Broad
Btreet. The negro came into her
house and after hanging his hat
on the bed poet deliberately or
dered her to give him something
to eat.
She was frightened very much
at the impudence of the negro
and there being no one close
around to help her, she obeyed his
orders, putting him something to
eat on the stove.
While eating the negro looked
around and saw a churn, he then
told her to give him some milk.
There being no milk he then told
her to get him a glass of water.

The negro asked Mrs. Ham
montree if she had heard about
the burning of the negroes at
Statesboro, and told her that
thare was going to be more crimes
of that nature committed. After
eating the negro looked all over
the house and seeing a little sack
lying ou the mantlepiece, picked
it up and put it in his pocket, no
doubt thinking there was money
in it, he then got his hat and
left.
While this was going on Mr.
Hammontree was out in the lot,
and not being able to hear good
Mrs. Hammontree was afraid to
soream. The officers are now on
the lookout for the negro.

“The Georgia boy who refused
to salute the negro officer at the
Manassas maneuvsrs showed true
Georgia grit, and we are all proud
of him. He is a true southerner,
and I don’t believe that any of
our boys will depart from hiB
example.”
Governor Terrell this burning
plainly stated his sentiments in
the foregoing quoted declaration
in regard to the dispatches whioh
told of the Georgia boy at the
Manassas maneuvers refusing to
•sluto a negro officer.
The governor was greatly pleased
at the stand taken by the young
Georgian, and it was olearly
evident that were it in hie power
the Georgian would not longer
remain a “subaltern," but wonld
be given a lieutenancy.
The oondnet of this young south
erner was the main topio of con
versation at the capitol today.
Governor Candler, who is known
and lovod throughout the south
for his strong radioal views,
declared that any yankee who
thought “a Georgia boy wonld
salute a negro was a damned fool.”
He expressed the warmest com
mendation for the act of theyonng
Georgian.
Secretary Blaokbnm, of the
executive department, who is only
a shade less radical in his views,
deolarsd that the Georgia boy
would not have been trne to bis
state bad he acted othi-rwise.
With the anticipation of
taunting on acoonnt of the aetions
of the south in lynching negroes,
and the fact that the southerners
have olearly drawn the oolor line
at the great oamp groundf it is
feared that some loaded guns will
creep into the firing lines despite
all precautionary measures and
njuries, if not fatalities, may re
sult.
