AUGUSTA. Ga, March 31.-The state
ments in the Washington Republican
that two negroes were killed last week
in Columbus, Ga. and that over dozen
were taken from their homes and
severely whipped, four Of them having
been tortured by having hot sealing way
dropped upon their bodies, are without
a shadow of truth. No outrages have
been committed on colored people II
the counties of Burke, Jefferson anc
Chatham. and there is no truth in the
further statement that in the vicinity O
Macon three negroes were found hang
ING to trees id the neighborhood OF g
leading Democrat. The relations be
tween the races are amicable ant
friendly.
The statements of outrages contained
in the Republican are pure fabricatlons
manufactured for political effect. Th'
following is from the proprietors OF TN
Macon Telegraph, and is in answer Y
dispatch asking If there were an.
! grounds for the statement in the WASH
ington Republican:
Macon, Ga, March 81. To Patricl
Wash, Agent Of Associated Press, Au
gusta: There is not one word OF trutl
in the report Of three negroes belni
hung. and not the shadow Of any groun'
for it. CLIsBEY, JONES y hEip.
