by Policeman Snead and Mr. J.

here and kept until Monday

for his appearance in two weeks
for trial. He was in town Fri
day and got drunk and Jjoiter

him in the guard house,

was in town Saturday ni
and made threats saying
he would have revenge from) the
policeman for locking him
up. It is thought that j he
made a bargain with the negro
Friday night to let him- out
Saturday night, and it is thought
that some othei's helped him in
the work. The Mayor of ; the
town has offered a reward of
$25.00 for the apprehension of
the negro John Calhoun, whom
they let out.
Several of the colored people
of the town were heard to ex
press themselves as being glad
that the house was burned, and
very few of them did anything
towards trying to stop the fire.
This is a bad spirit among our
colored people, and they should
remember that as long as they
behave themselves and are good
citizens the guard house has no
terrors for them. They may ex
pect to be suspicioned as aiding
and abetting when they make
such remarks. If the property of
the town should be destroyed
they would be the losers also,
and here we have one common
interest. If more of their race is
put in the guardhouse than the
whites, it is because they do
more unlawful acts. Be it said
to the credit of our colored citi
zens that heretofore they have
been faithful workers in cases
of fire,' and we deplore such ex
pressions as we heard Sundaj
morni ng.
