Clever Rascal Tells Georgia Colored People
that They'll be Angels Next Month, and
Sells Them Wings at So a Pair for Future
Delivery.
SAyANNAH, Ga.-Liberty county is
greatly excited over the proceedings of a
man calling himself Dupont Bell, who
claims 10 be the new Messiah. He halls
from Ciroleville, Ohio. He is tall and
sallow, with lClg black hair. He has
succeeded in working the negroes of that
section up to such point that the white
people are afraid of serious trouble.
This man Bell Senator BradWell said
to-day, appeared suddenly in Liberty
county six weeks ago. He proclaimed
himself to be the Son of God and the
negroes at once went mad over him.
They deser ed their fields to follow him
and listen to mis- ratings, and now things
are so bad that it is impossible to get
hands on the plantations near Rice
borough, and some of the crops are being
ruined. The negroes kneel before him
and struggle with each other for the
privilege of Kissing his feet. He has
told that the Judgment Day will be here
August Is. He says that the white people
have enjoyed their paradise on earth for
-ill be the black mans turn. On the
eagerly looked for 18th every white man
will be turned black and every black man
will b5co ne white,
"This prospect cannot be cheering to
Bell, whose skin Is white. He says his
body was born thirty years ago IN Ono,
but his soul has lived since The world
began. Ga the 2sth OF June he was ar.
rested on a charge of vEgranoy, but 10
was impossible to hold aim on such
charge, As he had a quantity of money 10
his possession l thiak good april
cation OF the whip would be th best thing
for him, but the negroes far outuumoer
the whites, and there would be a fearful
and bloody riot if anything were done 70
him. His -chemes for raising money are
various and peculiar. The last effort OF
his genius was to declare that he had sent
20 his august father for q consignment 81
wings which the negroes will want on ana
after the 10th Of August. There was
corner on wings when his requlsltlon
reached heaven, and the Almighty was
only able 10 send him $50 pairs. These
he claimed. would he delivered on the
Judgment day, and in the meantime
would sell them al IS q pair. Every paH
has been sold and paid for, and nov the
lucky ones are practicing the flying
