Gaffney Ledger, Nov. 10: A small
colored girl living over in the south
eastern part Of the city was accident
ally shot Tuesday afternoon by some
boys Of her own color who were out
hunting or shooting for amusement.
The load took effect in the girls
shoulder, inf1icting a painful but not
necessarily serious wound. The shoot
| ing was purely an accident, as the
| boys did not see the girl at the time
she was shot; but the boys were ar
| rested and fined for shooting inside
the corporate limits of the town. Such
carelessness in the handling OF fire
arms is dangerous, and should be
stopped If possible. .... Mrs. Charles
