masked men or boys went TO the house
of Tom Hinton, a negro tenant on James
H. Helmers' plantation at Camp Greek, 4
small station six miles north of here, burst
his door open with Ian ak and then shot
the negro twice. once in his abdomen with
shotgun and once with a pistol the ball
striking him in his left side near his
heart.
The negro had two pistols in the bed
where he and his wife were sleeping 1t is
supposed he opened fire on the mob. as
there we're several places in the yard in
the direction that the crowd left which
shows that he made a desperate effort to
defend himself. The negro's wife started
to run, and he followed her. but fell in
about twenty feet Of the house and died.
There were several negroes whipped that
night in the community and it is possible
that the same mob that did the whipping
killed Tom Hinton.
1t is generally believed that the mob in
tended to carry him out and whip him,
but he made it too warm for them with
the two pistols, he shooting in self-de-
fence. Hinton was an inoffensive negro.
He lived within his income. 1t is feared
that the affair, II 1t is ever solved, and it
probably will be from the evidence, will
