Negro Shot On
1 ony Fair’s Place
Kid Earl better known as J vhnnie
Blink a negro living on Tony Fairs
place about two miles from Cochran
shot a negro name John Henry Ty
son in a drunken row last Saturday
night. The shooting took place
rigid in front of Kid Earls house.
It seems that these negroes had
started to a negro frolic in company
with a negro woman named Minnie
Redick, and purchased some blind
t ;er liquior, and filled up on it,and
the trouble began. The evidence
given by the afferent witnesses who
were all negroes, was so conflicting
that it was difficult to get at the
truth, but the negro Kid Earl ac
knowledged that he done the shoot
ing. He said that he told Tyson
that he was going to shoot him but
he did not intend to kill him, and
would pay his doctor bill. Quite a
trivial affair to shoot up a ’’nigger”
a little bit especially when you are
generous enough to pay his doctor
bill.
Good Citizens of Bleckley County
what is the trouble? A carnival of
crime all over this country. Life
is too cheap even if the majority are
negroes.
We have noticed that in nearly
every instance bad liquor, bad wo
men and pistol ’’toting” are at the
bottom of these crimes and very of
ten the evidence develops that it ;s
blind tiger liquor.
This negro was arraigned before
Justice Powell for commitment
trial. He was boumd over charged
with assault and attempt to mur
der and is held without bail await
ing the outcome of the uegroe’s
condition who wa3 shot. When
last heard from he was still alive
with good chance to recover unless
pneumonia or some other complica
tions set in.
