Jesse remained in Lithia Springs.
About two weeks before on
Thursday night. some white men
knocked on the door where Cowan's
wife and three children were wait
ing for him to come home sfrom
work. Cowan drives truck for a
furniture company, and is away
from home often at night. The
men wanted Cowan to pull their
car. The wife refused. But the men
hung around until a neighbor ask
ed them to leave.
They went to Jesse's house and
asked him to hide some whiskey
for them. They were refused once
more . But someone came back
Saturday and used the whip on
both of the men.
Cowan was sick, and in his I'M
derwear. But that didn't stop them.
They took him on by Jesse's home
and then to the woods.
Cowan was given five slashes,
and then one of the attackers got
careless and Cowan got in good
blow to his ribs Up came an
automatic shot gun. Cowan reach
ed for it, and soon all were in the

shots followed but Cowan was we'll

long enough to remove his shorts
(his only garment) and held them
to his chest to keep from catching
more cold !. He ran and ran and
felt his feet being torn as they
slipped on hidden rocks and under
brush
Jesse got his beating next, and
then was told to run. He did, and
the floggers faded from sight. Both
victims were bare footed, and with
out clothing. The night air was
cold and chilling Cowan is
still numb and stiff,
Jesse says he was accused of
getting drunk and branching" be-
fore white women. Cowan states
they said nothing to him. Jesse
tells how he reached behind the bed
and felt shot gun butt tear the
flesh of his arms and shoulders;
the back of his head and his face.
Both of the men speak of third
man, who was picked up, but re-
leased after saying he wasn't the

were strange :. =.

SCOTT COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL
CONTRIBUTING MUCH TO COUNTY

Scott County Training School
came into being about 1924 through
the matching of Rosenward and
Slater Funds with local funds. A
four classroom building with a
small auditorium was erected on 80
acres Of land within the city limits
on the east side of the town of For
est. 1t was designed, as was the
original purpose of the training
schools, to train teachers on the
high school level to teach in Negro
schools. The school never carried
out this purpose. 1t only carried
two years of high school, offering
the usual three RS.
In 1887 the school met the quail
ifications of the State Vocational
Board, and with the erection of a
Vocational building, offered Voca-
tional Home Economics, Trades and
Industries, and Vocational Agricul-
ture to its students In the same
year three years of high school
training were offered, the follow
mig year, 1888 the first four year
high school class of ten students
received their diplomas.
The three vocational courses, and
an opportunity to complete four
years of high school education in
the county gave rise to a marked
increase in the enrolment of the
school The enrolment jumped
from 200 to 500 pupils. This increase
in opportunity for the boys and
girls in Scott County, as well as
some from surrounding counties,
developed spirit of pride in pa
irons and students alike. This spir-
it is reflected in the record of all
activities. To this time students
completing 10th grade were CONS
PEELED to go to town where there
was an aunt, uncle, or other rela-
tiyes to board and finish high
school
