The Jacksonian July 1907
Death of Little Nigger While Playing With Pistol

Butts Counties popular coroner. C. G. Britt. That same Britt was called to 
Fincherville Monday 22nd inst. to hold inquest over the dead body of Elder 
Carr (col.).  It seems that the parents of the little nigger who was only six 
years old had gone to the field and left him to mind a smaller child and while 
plundering  around got hold of a pistol and shot himself.  The coroners jury 
rendered a verdict of Death from a pistol shot in his own hands and the same 
was an accident.  Thus we see the pistol is a bad thing too have in the house; 
how much more so when carried around in your hp pocket.

The Jacksonian
Week of July 26, 1907
