Middle Ga. Argus – Week of March 11,1892
As the southbound passenger train was speeding along through the farm of Mr. 
Reese Thaxton, on Monday morning, a negro boy named Simon Cook threw a rock 
into the window.  Sheriff Beauchamp was notified and, in company with 
Supervisor Newson, went in search of this miscreant.  They found him picking 
cotton near where the rock was thrown, and other negroes testified to seeing 
him throw.  He is now in jail awaiting trial.  He should be severely punished.
