ANOTHER NEGRO OUTBREAK.
Row at Mas0n's DepOt---Jail Broken
Open---hegrO Prisoners
Released.

1t seems'the spirit which prompted
the negro mob at Macon is travelling
toward the city. It made its appear
ance Saturday evening at MasOn's De-
pot, on the M. d o. R., r., in the shape
Of a riotous, bloodthirsty gang of
blacks, parading the streets Of the
village, yelling, shouting, cursing, and
threatening to kill any white man
who dared to interfere with them,
and eliminated by breaking open the
lookup or Jail and releasing three ne
gro prisoners confined therein. Our
informant, a passenger by the 1890
pm. train over that road Yesterday,
says that the negroes met with no re-
sistance, save at the hands of thIee
white men, who only gave up the at
tempt when they found that they
alone were left by the other villagers
to face the Infatuated mob. A squad
of white men did muster up courage
enough yesterday to go in pursuit of
the rescued prisoners, who are sup
posed to be lurking in the neighbOr-
hood, but had not returned when the
train passed.
Do the negroes and their white
leaders expect to keep this thing 60
ing? Do they intend to keep the
country stirred up with riots for all
time? If they do, they had as well
make calculations to meet a few re-
verses in the business, for one of these
fine days the white people will try
their hands, at a counter movement,
and then stand from under, ''niggers,"
both white and black.
