Bleckley County
Special Cotton
Last Friday, June 20th, Dr. T.
D. Walker, Sr., brought to town
from his plantation, a stalk of cot

He states that it is of the Bleck
ley County Special Variety.
Police Chief Shot,
Negro Is Lynched
City Prison is Stormed —Negro
Dragged Through The Streets
And Strung Up.
Americus, June 21. —A mob of
500 persons attacked the county jail
at 8 o’clock tonight, broke down
the cell door, wherein a negro, Wil
liam Redding, was confined, and
dragged him through the principal
streets of the city to the Buchanan
corner where they lynched him. A
thousand shots, it is estimated,
were fired.
This was the climax of the shoot
ing earlier in the evening of Wil
liam C. Barrow, who has been chief
of iHdicc in this city for the past
twenty-five years, and tin* wound
ing of four negroes.
The sheriff and his deputies
found resistance useless. With
steel crowbars and sledge hammers
the angry members of the mob at
tacked the steel doors wherein the
negro was confined. This lock was
finally ripped from its fastening
and the door swung open. Then a
rope was fastened about the negro’s
m-ck and lie was led through tin
streets to the Buchanan corner in
Lamar street, near the scene of the
shooting of Chief Barrow. Then
lie was strung up to a cable.
The body bad only been cleared
from tin: ground when the rope
broke, but the negro was again
strung up, this time with better
success.
Shooting began from every direc
tion and the body was riddled with
bullets. Before the shooting began,
Rev. Robert Bivins, pastor of the
Furlow Lawn Baptist church,
pleaded in vain with the leaders to
spare the life of the negro. Ilis
pleadings lasted during the twenty
minutes required to string the body
up to the cable and then the yells
of the crowd and the shots from
many pistols drowned his voice.
The shooting continued at intervals
for a half hour and the body was
left to hang on the cable.
The lynching was the most sick
ening tragedy ever witnessed in
Americus.
The shooting occurred in Lamar
street, where the chief of police had
been called to quiet a disorderly
crowd of negroes. He arrested
William Redding, a negro, and
started with him to the city prison,
when the latter freed himself suffic
iently to whip out a revolver and
open fire on the chief at close
range. A bullet passed entirely
through the chief’s abdomen and
sped oil, entering the arm of Mor
ris Allen, a negro.
The shooting was entirely unpro
voked, it is claimed, and „resulted
from the use of “blind tiger whisk
ey,” Redding being partially under
the inlluence of liquor when he
shot the officer.
Rally Proves Success
Willacoochee, June 24. —The new
county rally and barbecue at Willa
coochee Saturday, June 21, was a
perfect success in every way.
The crowd was estimated at 3,000
people, most of whom were farmers
from the proposed territory of At
kinson. The large number of citi
zens present showed that the whole
people are behind the new county
movement here. All agreed that
the gathering was the best behaved
to its size that has ever been to
gether on an occasion of its kind in
south Georgia. Not a single arrest
was made and all conducted them
selves in a manner that did lasting
credit to Willacoochee and this en
tire section.
Able speeches were made hv
Hon. J. A. Cromarty, of Hazle
hurst: Hon. Jim Summerall, of
Rlackshear; Judge W. C. Lank
ford, of the city court of Douglas;
Mr- Harris, of Crisp county, and
Rev. N. H. Olmstead, of Willocoo
chee. Their arguments, all of
which were strongly in favor of the
