Mac Howard - Killed

In a pine thicket near Pope's ferry a gang of negroes had been gambling several days and nights, but on Sunday the game broke up in a row and Mac Howard was killed. No one seems to know who fired the shot or in fact anything about the affair. The body was carried to Forsyth Monday night and a jury empanelled that returned a verdict of murder at the hand of unknown party or parties.
