count for writing the said article:
Whereas, A conflict occurred be-
tween Jones and his friends on the
side and some young white men in
the other, in which three OF the
young men were shot, though their
wounds were superficial and insig-
nificant, and one young white man
was injured by a severe blow on
his head: and
Whereas, On the morning of the
18th instant. four or five houses of
Negroes supposed to be in sympathy
with Jones were destroyed by fire,
and it is the common belief that
these fires were caused by some
white men and boys Of Longview;
now, therefore,
Be it resolved by this committee
of citizens, That we deplore and
condemn the actions of the said
Negro Jones in circulating the paper
containing the scurrilous article
about the white lady hereinbefore
referred to, and we here and now
give notice that no such thing will
be tolerated by the white people of
