Bill Williams and his son, George Will
liama, are now in Jail charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill. It seems
that John Craft and Elias MCGEE, both
white, had gone to the negro association, for
what purpose we are not informed. They

proper punishment will be melted out.
The machinery Of the law is in the hands
of white men, and it is useless to say the
negroes could not be convicted, IL guilty.
