COCHRAN, GEORGIA 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.
