The Reynolds New Era June 18, 1930
James Hodges, a negro farm hand on Mr. Dave Harbuck's place was shot to death 
Sunday night in front of Mr. Jack Peacock's barn, near the residence of Mr. 
H.S. Wall.  It is presumed that the shooting was done by Morris Palmer, 
another negro, as they had had some words Sunday afternoon, and a piece of 
Palmer's tie and tie clasp and a song book belonging to him were found near 
the dead body.  Several bullets pierced his body and up until this time Palmer 
has not been located.  An inquest was held Monday morning.

Palmer conducted prayer meeting services at the negro church Sunday night and 
the shooting occured immediately after the services closed, and was discovered 
by negroes going home from church.  There were no eyewitnesses.
