TROOPS To GUARD
BLACKS On TRIAL
Martial Law Will Rule Cum
ming When Accused Negro
ASSaIIantS Are Arraigned.

After a consultation between Judge
Newt Morris, Adjutant General Obear
and Governor Brown yesterday, it was
determined to asend sufficient state
troops to Cunfning next week to in
sure the entire protection of the ne
groes to be tried there for participation
in two recent assaults upon white
women in Forsyth county
Feeling against the negroes is bitter
in Forsyth and surrounding territory,
particularly since one of the victims
died. Cool heads believe that only the
sternest Of measures can avoid lynch
ing, if the negroes are brought to Cum
ming for trial.
Governor Brown is averse 10 the idea
of d change of venue for the trials. be-
cause he fears that might so work on
the feelings of residents that the lives
of innocent negroes would be endan-
gered. The diabolical details of one of
the assaults has aroused a general feel
ing of uncompromising hostility toward
the negroes throughout all the section
concerned.
1t is likely that the full military
strength Of Gainesville and Marietta.
two companies will be sent to guard
the negroes. and it is possible that a
company from Atlanta may be used.
Hundreds of negroes have been
warned to leave Forsyth county imme
diately, and numbers of farmers en-
ploying negro help have been threat
ened
Martial law will be declared by the
governor while the trials are in prog
