Whites and Blacks at Quitlnan
Ca, Clash With Awful
Results.
SEVEN NEGROES ARE KILLED.
Brutal Murder of a Leading
White the Cause Of the
Trouble.

QUrTMAN, Ga, Dec. 25.-The lives Of
seven negroes have been taken in the
last "a hours in reven 70 for that Of one
white man, and unless all signs fail ut
terly, many more lives are in jeopardy.
Two bodies of determined men. be-
tween 400 and 900 men in all, every one
being heavily armed and each body
about equal in numerical strength to
the other, separated by less than mile
Of country and Liable TO clash at any
time--that is the spectacle presented in
Brooks county at the present. One
body is made up Of stern, determined
white men, bent on revenge for the
brutal murder Of one of the best citi--
zens of this county, the other is made
up Of negroes,
Terror Stricken and Fearful
lest they or their families be made the
objects of the same fate as has already
befallen seven Of their number, and
ready TO defend themselves from such
fate IS we'll as they may be able.
On Thursday Mr.. Joseph ISom of
Brooks county, a most prosperous
farmer and one Of the best of citizens,
was murdered by party Of negroes.
and IL leaked out that the killing OF
Isom was part Of plot TO kill all the
whites who were in the posse which
few weeks ago arrested Jesse Jeffretb
for the killing Of Mr.. 7. Mouldon.
Isom was one Of the most popular men
in the county. He lived 10 mixes north
of here in part Of the county where
the negroes outnumbei the whites, and
the killing created great deal OF ex-
element. When it developed that the
same gang Of negroes
Had sworn to XIII
other white men, the VIII. tes gathered
together an if BY one accord and tho
work OF death and destruction began.
The names Of the killed are: Sam lay
Ior, Ell Frazer, Sam Pike, Harry
Sherad, and three olher' whose names
could not be learned.
A reporter visited the scene during
the evening. Every crossroad was
found picketed with sentinels and
every man in the county is armed TO
the teeth. When one Of these race OK
elements occur, terror rules in the
homes of the whites as well as OF the
blacks and that wa, the case in this in
stance. There are probably 800 men
under arms. covering an area Of about
five square miles. About q mile and =
half from Isom's place were about 600
whites. all well armed and
Brsathtng All Sorts OF Vengeance.
A mile further on was crowd OF ne
groes of about the same size, armed
with Winchester rifles. pistols, axes,
clubs and everything else conceivable
waiting for the whites to attack them.
They are entrenched in and around lot
of negro cabins III the midst of a thin
grove, and the latest information Is
that the white, are advanci ig on Them
from two sides. The county is COM
parativeiy sparsely settled and the fa-
cilitles for securing information are
very meagre.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOH.
Topic for the Week Beginning Apr. 1,
Comment by Rev. :. II. Doyle.

TorIc.-Ho- and why We should pray Math.
vi, 5-la
The words which are taken as illns-
tration Of the topic are a part of Christ's
sermon on the mount In these words
He speaks Of the subject Of prayer. and
by showing the errors in the prayers Of
the Pharisees He teaches His hearers
the true method Of praying and gives
them that model Of PRAYER so familiar
to us namely, the Lord 5 PRAYER.
/. How we should pray. Throughout
these words deal more with the charac-
ter Of our prayers than with the reasons
fer praying. I'D Christ saws we are to
pray privately. He warns His disciples
against the show and osteutation of the
fharisees in prayer, who sought the
street corners and the svnagogues in or
der to be SEN of men, Isaac went into
field to pray. and often Jesus left the
multitudes that He might have privacy
in His prayers u His Father. The soul
that would live close To God must com
mnne with Him often in secret. t2)
Christ also SAYS we are to pray to the
Father. The Phari-reS in their PRAYERS
thought only of the effect they would
have upon men. God was not Consid
cred. else they wnuld have known that
their prayers would l." as effective IN
the closet ~ the synagogue Prayer is an
act betweau man and God only II j.
God to whom We should offer our l.tI-
tiuns, and GaI /, oyeryW here. Humll.
ity and sincerity are tho two character.
