Disturber of the Peace Shot
-------
WARRENTON, Ga., Sept. 9.— Tom Adams, colored, was killed in a difficulty late Saturday night by W. J. Norris, white, proprietor of the Warrenton hotel. Adams was quarreling with another negro when Norris, who had retired, got up and requested them to move on, as they were disturbing his guests. Adams resented this, and a difficulty ensued, in which he was fatally shot. Negroes threaten vengeance, but the citizens are thoroughly prepared for any emergency and hardly expect trouble.
