Bill Ridgeway - Killed

Another Negro killing took place out in Towaliga on last Saturday night.   One Vossa Lee shot Bill Ridgeway and Bill died Monday.   Vossa is in a dying condition and may be dead at this writing.   Bill cut him into mince meat with a pocket knife.   Bishop Turner's advice to negroes to arm themselves is being obeyed in Towaliga.   We have not learned yet which negro will kill the other out there next week.
