much excited over the discovery Of dia-
bolical plot among the negroes to commit
series Of outrages upon white women A
negro preacher, L. T.. Burais. proposed to
a number of negroes that they should
seize several white women and carry them
into the swamp and make them submit TO
their embraces. The negroes consented,
but tine whites secured evidence that such
a conspiracy existed and they took steps 20
guard their homes.
La the meantime the negroes began to
leave the country. One of those who left
was Burgis. vino went 10 Georgia, where
he was unprecedented. An officer returned
with the negro, but WAS suddenly con-
fronted with between seventy-five and 100
mouuted men. Being overpowered there
was no other alternative butte give Bargis
up, and the next morning lie was seen
hanging from IA limb. The white people
are wild with rage and il is believed more
