Kansas Colored Youth Gets 75
Lashes for Impoliteness.
Fort Worth, Tex., March 13.—A
Kansas negro, abut 20 years old,
has just been administered a lesson
In politeness In the thriving little
town of Clarendon. He met two
young white ladies on the street
and made no effort to give them
room to pass, simply nodding his
head to them and telling them there
was plenty of room. The ladies
walked into the slush and mud of
the gutter to get around him and,
turning to a companion the negro
sneeringly remarked:
“That Is the way we do In Kansas”

the Georgia prison commission Is
hearing argument presented In be-
and a scream in thfe direction of the
Sharpe residence, but thought no
mo^' ; of the matter until his dead
body was discovered.
Up to two o’clock this afternoon
there had been no very great effort
to find out who the assaslns were.
While the killing caused indignation
on account of the cowardly manner
in which it was done, the people do
not appear td be as deeply interest
ed in the perpetrators of the deed as
such a tragedy would ordinarily pro
voke.
The assassin It seems, was hid un
der the front steps, and as Mr. Sharp
stepped out and started through the
yard, two loads of buckshot were fir-
el into his back, killing him Instant
ly.
As soon as the new3 of the assas
sination was started, great crowds
gathered on the scene and viewed
the body, which was not disturbed
until the coroner could arrive and
hold an Inquest over the remains.
Coroner Germes was soon present.
Mr. Sharp was about 50 years oil
and had been a resident of Waycross
for a number of years. He came
here from Jasper, Fla., anJ mar*
rled into one of the best and most
influential families in south Georgia.
For some time he was editor of the
Waycross Evening Herald, but for
the last few years he was not active
ly engaged In business, most of his
time being taken up in looking af
ter his real estate.
He was a member of the Knights
of Pythias and was a past chancel
lor commander of the lodge here. The
officers are at work on the case. Mr.
Sharp is survived by his wife anl
several children.
The coroner’s Inquest came to an
half of Burrlll Patterson, the young
Heard county man, who ls under sen*
tence of death for killing a man
named Stewart
J to8. Avis Boyce, Mrs. Dixon, and
othe?*Uatholic ladies of the city who
have interested themselves in the
case of Patterson, have secured the
services of Col. Reuben Arnold, one
of the best lawyers in thp state, to
look after the young man’s interests.
It is claimed that Mack Patterson,
father of Burrlll, forced him to kill
Stewart, and that the elder Patterson
had an abnormal influence over his
son, forcing him to do his bidding
much after the manner of a person
hypnotized.
