them to be merciful, negroes Sunday
night shot to pieces Holm Cash, white

tried to stampede the congregation. The
tragedy occurred about eight miles from
Columbus, Ga, in Harris county. Cash is
a planter, and the negroes have church

progress at the church, and Sunday night
there was a great congregation and much
shouting. The noise disturbed Cash and
he decided to break up the meeting.
He entered the church in threatening
manner, and ordered the negroes to get
out Giles profaning Gods house /; kill
him p shouted the religion frenzied ne.

err, but the negroes were overweight and
began firing at Cash, who stood right at
the pulpit. Probably 500 shots were
fred, many of them striking the hapless
white man, who fell in pool Of blood
at the altar. All during the fusillade the
negroes kept shouting, "Kill the pro-
faner," while the preeched pleaded for
them to be merciful. Only one negro,
Henry White, has been arrested, but it
is not believed he will be prosecuted
Henry Whites father once killed white
man, who was leading a whitecap party.
