frightened, notwithstanding tbat
there is no desire to harm tbe bet
ter cIbbs of the colored people. In
rare instances irresponsible .bands
of Marauders have acted, without
reference to the characterof tbe ne
groes attacked, as in the case of old
man Roberts and his eon, but these
acts are deprecated by all. Roberts
bas lived seventy jeara in this com
munity, and commands the respect
of every good citizen. " .

The box was taken from - tbe ex

was doing a foolish thiog. "
Handy Bell, implicated by Reed
as a ringleader in the murders, was
seen today in the voods in the rear
