Negro Skulls Growing Thinner.

jim Crawford, a lite pickaninny
living on the Glover Hill plantation,
III Coahoma county, met with a very
unusual death for a negro. lie was
engaged in stick fight with another
boy about his own age named Jim
Robinson. At first they were lightly
tapping each other over the head, but
as the battle progressed the blows
became more violent, terminating
when the Crawford boy was felled
to the ground. He was carried to a
nearby house and died a short while
later. The jury declared that his
death was not due to any criminal
intent. Instances similar to this
that have occurred in the State with
in recent years lead TO the conclusion
that the skull CT the negro is growing
thinner.
