Jackson Argus - Butts County December 3, 1897
A Negro is Seriously Shot Near Flovilla

Last Sunday while some negroes were gambling in a scope of woods on Mr. Mike 
Plymale’s place below Flovilla some dissatisfaction  arose over the game and a 
negro by the name of Young Johnson ran to his home and arming himself with a 
pistol and went back to the rendezvous  in search of gore and lots of it.  He 
ran one of the negroes into a house and then went in on him, but here the 
tables were turned on him.

The negro who had been pursued wrested the pistol from his assailant, and shot 
Johnson five times.  Three of the shots took effect in the hand, and another 
bullet went into the side.

Dr. A. F. White, of Flovilla, was sent for to dress the wounds, and at last 
accounts the Negro was in a dangerous condition.
