The Atlanta Constitution having ad.

few by the Macon Telegraph:

The excitement among the colored popu-

ful and just revenge is threatened. A
representation of these facts has been
laid before Sumner by the Hon. Jimuel
Pepper. Few people are aware of the
desperate and murderous state of feeling
in Murray county.

and actually tore away the hinder part of
his breeches, on the public road. Thus a
respectable man cannot pass on the public
highway in Decatur except in peril of his
life. and this under the Fifteenth Amend

Understand me it is not their gall and
