NEGRO DIES OF WOUNDS
INFLICTED EARLY MONDAY
Shooting Held to Be Case of Justi
fiable Homicide
Leonard McCoy, negro man, died
Monday night at a Griffin hospital
of wounds inflicted Monday morning
by Mr. R. Van Jones, of Stark, and
■a coroner’s jury investigating the
Stop Chills
and Fever!
Rid Your System of Malaria!
Shivering with chills one moment and
burning with fever the next —that’s one
of the effects of Malaria. Unless checked,
the disease will do serious harm to your
health. Malaria, a blood infection, calls
for two things. First, destroying the in
fection in the blood. Second, building
up the blood to overcome the effects of
the disease and to fortify against further
attack.
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic supplies
both these effects. It contains tasteless
quinine, which kills the infection in the
blood, and iron, which enriches and
builds up the blood. Chills and fever
soon stop and you are restored to health
and comfort. For half a century, Grove’s
Tasteless Chill Tonic has been sure relief
for Malaria. It is just as useful, too, as a
general tonic for old and young. Pleasant
to take and absolutely harmless. Safe to
give children. Get a bottle at any store.
A Fine Idea
Taxpayer Speah'ry *
case Tuesday held that it was justi
fiable homicide.
The shooting, according to a state
ment made by Mr. Jones, occurred
when the negro failed to report for
work Monday morning and Mr. Jones
went to the house to ascertain the
reason. McCoy is said to have in
formed Mr. Jones that he was going
+0 move, and was told that before he
did so he would have to explain to
the sheriff why he had burned lum
ber and a ladder belonging to Mr.
Jones. This angered the negro, who
threatened to shoot his landlord. Mr.
Jones shot at the black who ran
through the house and was advancing
upon the white man with a rock
when he was shot through the body.
Later in the day McCoy was car
ried to Griffin for treatment and
died Monday night about 8 o’clock.
