Mr, Williams didn't know tlie negro at the time, afterwards learning hit name. Not erring to have any trouble with the drunken negro, Mr. Williams ordered him to leave his premises. Instead ot doing so however, Graham got out ot the buggy and advanced toward him, still cursing him violently, whereupon Mr Williams went into toe house and got. his shot gun, an 1 returning to itie piazza with the weapon, told the negro if he did not leave he would shoot him. Unguis, the other negro, begged Mr. Wil limns not to shoot, and taking hold of Graham finally got him back into the buggy. Hagins started to drive off with his companion, when Graham sprang oyer the back of the vehie'e to return to Mr. Williams, but as J lie did so Mr. Williams fired on mm, too load s'riking Graham in the head. llagins lifted the wounded negro in'o the buggy and carried him off The nature of his injuries is not known, but. as the gun was loaded with no. 9 shot it is not thought that he is 3eriously wounded.
