Cursed and Attacked Track Foreman
of East and West Road.
Cedartown Ga. April Saturday
afternoon between 5 and o'clock a
strange negro by the name of Barnes,
supposed to have been drinking, ap-
preached the track hands on the East
and West railroad near the railroad
shops and began cursing and abusing
the hands. D. N. Robinson, the Sec
tion foreman, went to him and asked
him to go away, stating that he was

Piled with an epithet and made at Mr..
Robinson and struck him two blows.
one in the face and one in the breast.
A track hand was standing by with
shovel and both Mr.. Robinson and
the negro Barnes made a grab for it.
Both caught hold of the shovel about
the same time. The negro struck Mr.
Robinson once or twice more and in
the scuffle showed him over against
handcar. In falling backward Mr.
RObinsOn's left hand came in contact
with a small wrench lying on the hand
car. He caught the wrench with his
left hand and made sweeping side
blow and struck the negro on the side
of the head. Much to Mr.. Robinsons
establishment the negro dropped dead.
Mr.. Robinson Immediately surren-
dered himself to the officers and de-
manded a commitment trial at once.
j. A. Wilson, notary public and justice
of the peace, investigated the case
thoroughly, examining a number of
eyewitnesses to the act. He decided
that the killing was clearly justif1able
and discharged Mr. Robinson.

the sentiment of the majority of

be seen, more poverty be felt
among the women and children,
more crimes be committed, more
