UNRULY NEGRO
SHOT IN FIELD
Ex-So!dier, TirA Of Taking Or.
ders, Didn' Draw Pistol
Soon Enough

Morrell Mann, negro ex-soldicr
about "a years ofhge, lies near death
on the Poole plantation near the
river bridge win bullet hole
through through his chest, said to be
the result of a growing determine
tion ever since he returned from the
war about three years ago to do less
work and take less bossing The bull
let was put through his body by
Clarence Jones, assistant overseer on
the plantation, when Mann attempt
ed to draw pistol he had in his
pocket. The trouble occurred Mon
day morning. 1t was said the negro
probably will recover.
There are five of the Mann broth
ers who like on the Poole place with
their mother and several sisters. Two
of them served in the army and they
are said to have given considerable
trouble ever since returning. The
three who remained at home are con-
sidered good hands among the large
number required to operate fifty
plows and handle a plantation the
size Of the Poole place. A year or
so ago Lee Griffin, then overseer be-
fore j. F. McLendon the present
overseer came, had trouble with Nor
rell Mann and forced him to leave
the place. He returned recently and
had been more resentful and sulky
than before. Monday morning it was
said he went to the blacksmith shop
of which Jones was in charge during
part of the day sharpening plow
points and doing other repair work,
and began complaining about the
plows being dull and otherwise max
ing himself disagreeable. When he
left, Gus Jones, another negro, re-
marked to the assistant overseer that
"Morrell is sho' cuttin' up some to-
day." and asked Mr.. Jones if he
knew Mann had a pistol.
A short time thereafter Mr.. Jones
went to TIE field, his duty being to
oversee half of the plowhands. Mann
was in the field and beating a mule
severely. Mr.. Jones stepped up to
him and ordered him to stop, at the
same time asking him if he had gun.
eyes, and I'm going to give you
part of it," the negro replied, reach
ing for his hip pocket. Mr.. Jones,
however, drew his own pistol quicker
and shot Mann through the body.
The latter then threw up his hands
and Mr.. Jones took his pistol from
his pocket, not firing any more. He
then told the negro he might go, and
Mann walked a short distance, threw
up his hands and fell, calling to the
other negroes to "come and git me,
m dead
After the shooting five other ne
groes told that Mann had passed the
word about that he was done being
bossed around by Mr.. Jones, and was
going to get him. A brother of Mann
who had not appeared for work Mon
day morning showed up at noon and
explained that he knew there would
be trouble that morning and he had
remained away as he didn't want to
be there when it happened.

Sees IN CARDIFF
FOE FOR JACK
Old Fight Fan Likes Looks Of
Big Fellow Who Met An

"That guy could give Jack Demp-

night after watching Jack Cardiff

with Cracker Anderson in the Opera
House.
And his verdict was voiced by sew

say that Charley Garner Chats

comes from Samson, Alabama, down
in Geneva county, which is in the
southern part of our sister state) has
the makings of a heavyweight of
more than ordinary ability.
Last night he did not exactly re-
fuse to fight, and yet did not fight,
if | am a judge. The vast differ
ence in height and weight between
Anderson and Cardiff made actual
honest-to-goodness fighting out of
the question. Anderson led most of
the way and was given the decision
by the referee. Cardiff hit Ander-
son almost at will but never did
throw his weight behind his punches,
and the Crackers blows were inef-
fective.
Anderson gave the audience all
that he had. The men went on be-
fore the smallest crowd that has
greeted a fight card in Americus.
Neither of them wanted to fight,
because Of the house, but Promoter
Alex Thomas changed his contract
from a percentage basis to flat pay
and the men entered the ring.
In spite of his 21O pounds Cardiff
is light on his feet, he fights with
both eyes open and his head and body
well back, assuming a position that
was hard for Anderson to reach be-
cause of the difference in height. At
the end of the eighth Cardiff SEEM
ed good for eight more rounds,
though he says he has had no train
ing in several months.
As I see it, both men deserve lots

in the near future, but Thomas SAYS
