Butts County Progress November 1908
Big Dam – Shooting Affray

News of a shooting affray on the Ocmulgee river at the camp of the Central 
Georgia Power company Sunday night has reached the city.  It seems that Sunday 
night Tom Johnson colored, shot and severely wounded a negro woman whose name 
has not been learned here.  The affair was reported to Sheriff Wilson Sunday 
night at 11 o’clock.

The details of the shooting are meager.  It is stated the negro woman will 
recover.  No warrant has been sworn out for the alleged culprit.  The shooting 
took place at an early hour Sunday night.

Johnson, who is said to be from Macon, was in the employ of Messrs. Land and 
Bros.
