LYNCHING BARELY AvERTED - DANGEROUsL
I EXCITED FEELINGS OF THE WHITE PEOPLE.
ALBANY (Ga.) News, Aug. 81
On Sunday morning last two highly respect
able ladies, young widow and young cir
of fifteen, started to the cemetery to place
flowers on the grave of the dead husband, and
on passing the place now frequently termed
g Five Points, "a bar-room kept for negroes
the heart Of the city midway between Broad
street and Sims-Rust warehouses, they were
accosted by a tall, black, VIGOROUSLY bad
negro, who was sitting there with number
Of other colored men, as follows
Good mornin, ladies. You look mighty
purity this mornin'. l want to marry one of
you. l know who you is-you are nobody
but - as folks
| By this time the ladies had passed the
crowd, but, feeling alarmed. turned and
walked back towards home when the scoun-
drel continued.
"Whar you gwine to now? You needn't
get mad about it, intend to have one of . ou
The time is come for the niger to have white
wives-I mean what say. We intend to have
you, and you can't help yourselves.
The ladies had now passed the crowd on
their return home which was close by, but OBJ
serving Mr.. Sebe Hood. who, by the way, is
proprietor of the bar-room, and deputy sheriff
of the county, sitting on the opposite side OF
the street, in plain view and easy hearing
distance, crossed over to get his protection
and to ask him to arrest the negro. During
this time. the other negroes present, to their
credit be 1t said, were demonstrating with the
insolent scoundrel and trying to prevail on
him to hush. He replied to them 81 wont
hush; by Cd, have got as much right to
talk white women white man have The
law now gives me that right and id if l
care what you say about it, am going to do
it.
As the ladies started across the street he fol-
lowed them at little distance, saying
whats you gwine across there for-what l
am saying is all true; intend to have one of
you. and, by God, you can't help you selves -
One o, the ladies appealed to Mr.. Hood TO
''attend to that negro when he walked across
to whore he was, but took no action, and the
ladies went home.
A gentleman passing by soon after, was call
ed in, aud the circumstances related. Very
soon the story reached the ears of all the men
who were down town, and quite as soon it
was ascertained that the offender was Nose
Jarrett, the meanest and most despicable
negro in the city.
We will not refer to the wild wave of in
dignation that swept over the city; to the ra-
pidity with which the spirit of revenge gained |
strength and volume, or to the deep, deter
mined mutterings for speedy retribution that |
escaped the heaving breasts and clenched |
teeth of our citizens. 1t was soon apparent
that lynching was imminent, and all joined in
the decree to nip the mischief in the bud; but
The calmer counsels prevailed, and partial quiet
was secured by the prompt action of the officers
IF the law. Mayor Hobbs, Judge Warren and
number of citizens determined upon a war
rant for misdemeanOr as the best course, and
Justice Greer was sent for and the
document was placed in the hands Of Marshal
smith. Search Was then made for the black
lend, bnt he could not be found Search was
gain made at night by the officer and other
parties who had no use for written warrants;
)ut they failed t. come up with him.
We do not know that the william purposely
Kept out of the Way, for he was somewhat in
oxicated, and may have gone to sleep in some
olace not visited by those in search of him.
On Monday morning early he again APP
'eared at Five Points, where he was discov-
red by Marshal Smith, arrested without diff
iculty, and lodged in the guard-house
Comment is not necessary-that this cir
is the logic and legitimate fruit of
he damnable doctrine contained in the Civil
Rights Bill no man in his senses will stop to
question, and that it is to be repeated and
Urged with fendish purpose, and violence, if
none can doubt. That it will be
'ontronted promptly, and with the boldness
# desperation by the people of Georgia, is as
certain as the sunshine, and that the death
lealing self-protectioc will first reach the
eaders and teachers of the ignorant brutes is
qually as certain. Whitley is The Head
Jevil in this part of the State-let him look
o his personal safety-and let all the carpet
,aggers and scalawags of all these counties in
Southwestern Georgia understand that the pro-
'islons Of the Civil Rights Bill-voted for and
dvocated by their infamous leader-contain
he eleme nts of social hell and death.
Moses Jarrett has been, and is now, the
oudest mouthed, most impudent and most Of
ensive of Whitely's british, staggering, filthy
blowers in this county, and when in liquor
ses his tongue and lungs in cursing and
busing the damn white folks.
In justice to the better class of our colored
eople, we are proud to say that they utterly :
and condemn all such conduct
n the part of the bad people of their race, and
his outrage Is denounced with emphasis by
hem II let alone, peace, happiness and :
would prevail among them, and the
most good feeling would characterize their {
ltercourse with the white people; but they
re permitting themselves to be led to assured
by a few shrewd. cunning, knav-
IN WHITE men, VINO nave no principle out pen
nd no use for the negro but his vote. They
lay as well und, rstand now, that any further
cps in the social equality programme, EN-
raced in the civil rights monstrosity and
Ihiteley's teachings, can not and will not be
'lerated. We speak words OF warning to
lem, and appeal to them with the kindness J
t a friend ana the truth of destiny to set
leir faces against this doctrine of death, and I
, hurl their false teachers to the rear and to {
famous ooscurity, where they must sooner
r later find their just punis .ment. I.
On tuesday the parties representing the {
appeared before Justice Greer
nd Withdrew the charges. They very prop /
rly declined to allo the ladies to appear in
ourt as witnesses in such u prosecution. and I
DIRECTLY viewed the written code as made !

The negro Was discharged from custody ,
ut he successfully DIES over this violent /
tack OF the social equality malady, we shall
egard him a hero ami his cause permanently
rogressive.
