Middle Ga. Argus – Week of September 6, 1894
On Thursday last a Negro by the name of Lee Lawrence went into the cotton field 
on the Waldrup place, in Jasper County, near Mechanicsville, and committed an 
outrage upon Mrs. Sallie Pope, a respectable white lady about 45 years of age.  
The Negro is bout 5 feet, 5 inches high and has a scar on the left eye.  If you 
happen to come up on him anywhere, and feel like putting a load of buckshot 
under his vest, we will go our part in it.  The laws of this state are a little 
slow in dealing with criminals of this stripe, and there should be some change 
made whereby they can be caught and hung on the same day which crime is 
committed.
