Americus Republican: Friday morning
cavalier rode down Lee street. He had
canteen, hayersack, and what not, we
cannot say, but his mustang seemed jaded
aud moved as though the constant loco
motion OF daily use had tanned him TO
regulation speed. Upon inquiry IL ap-
peared that the cavalier was one or
corps of engineers who were to make
survey at or near SlOan's mill in the In
terest OF tho Americus, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad. So the thing is now
in progress, and the lower route to deep
water on the Ocmulgee will soon be made.
1t is understood that another route will
be surveyed, passing through the Twen-
ty-eIghth district of sumter direct TO
Vienna in Dooly county, and thence TO
the same point.

Monday nights the community at this
place was terribly shocked on account OF
riot among The cOlOred folks. A num-
her of B. Upton's cOored hands, and
among those hands two white men, set
and brutally assaulted him three
nights successfully at colored
woman's house. They rent the
the very abr with curses loud, deep and
long, and it seemed as il pandemonlum
itself had broken loose. II was tornado
OF violence, disorder, riot and injustice
perpetrated upon the person OF the COL
ored individual and the respectable COM
munity here. In vain did some gentlemen
inf krf ap n md trv IN mn a
mob who were armed with pistols, knives
and cudgels. On Saturday night the mob
took the negro man and whipped him with
a strap and otherwise shametully ILL.,
treated him, az already shown. On Mon
day night +. ID. wainwright. b. Upton and
several other gentlemen iinally got the
mob to succumb. and on Tuesday the
negro was advised by the writer TO take
out a warrant for the arrest OF the Offend

they found out that the law was being
enforced. only one arrest was made.
The others fed, and, strange TO relate, the
plaintiff also fed. Tuesday night order

Editorial in Pearson Land Agent: Ow-
ing TO our recent troubles at Pearson, we
are now ciliZen OF WaycrOss, and for
fear our Pearson friends think little
strange of the abrupt manner in which
we lett, we Will right here try to explain.
We have been there fifteen years and
never had a row or quarrel with one of
our neigh bors, and we have met their old
pleasant faces too often TO go around
Handwriting. People may say what they
please, but we have some good people in
Coffee county, and We left them reluc-
family. AS we have mentioned our Pear
son troubles, we will 20 on and try to ex-
plain. Our house at that place has been
chiOroiormed twice during the last two
months, and we decided, as our family
was the only one being troubled in this
way, we would rather move than RISK tue
consequences. The first time our pillows
we're chlOrotormed while we were all at
church, aud we made the discovery and
renewed our pillows and sustained no
damage. The second time, our little Ag-
mes awoke and saw man with his head
through the window, with stick in his
hand and a handkerchief tied 10 il, putting
it about her face. She gave the alarm,
and he dropped the stick and handker-
chlet on the bed and ran. 1t is supposed
to be some one living in Pearson, and
their object is only to be guessed at. We
are living to protect our family, and il
We can't do it in Pearson we VIII try it in
WaycrOss, where we have night watch
men TO help us. The South Georgia Land
Agent will be published at Waycross. in
stead of Pearson. in the future, but the
claims OF our Coffee county friends will
be advocated alike with those of Ware.
