moulded amid such environments
that made the women of the South
the noblest and best on earth, she
was an ideal wife -and mother and s
superb Christian character.

inent citizens of Bleckley county
and her daughters are splendid types

in vain but left the world better for
living in it and added greatly to the
sum total of human joy and hap
piness.

family graveyard on Longstreet at
3:30 P. M. Thursday, Rev. A. Les
ter officiating.

John Floyd Killed
At Mullet Supper
Last Friday nigh:, at a “mullet
supper” on William Perry’s place,
a negro named Andrew Melvin shot
and killed another negro named
John Floyd. He claimed that he
was shooting at his wife and acci
dently shot lohn Floyd.
After the shooting Melvin walked
out in the yard and engaged in a
fusilade with Harmon Jenkins when
nine shots were exchanged. Melvin
received a slight wound in the leg
below the knee.
The cause of the trouble was of
course about the same thing that
usually causes trouble at a mullet
supper where mean liquor, pistols
and bad “niggers” get mixed up.
Melvin was given a preliminary
trial before Judge G. F- Hendricks,
Tuesday and was bound over with
out bail to the Superior Court for
murder.
These mullet suppers seem to be
a prolific source of crime, whenever
you hear of a negro killing another
negro it is usually at a mullet sup
per.
We believe it would be a good
idea for every farmer to prohibit
these kind of gatherings on his
place.
