Q. S. Adams Killed in
Barton's Greek Township
Coroner's Jury Says John
Nipper Shot His Employ
er in Self Defense
A fatal tragedy was enacted in Bar
:on's Creek townsh.p, tfiw county, yes
terday morning in which a farm hand
became the slayer of his employer. Mr.
Qnincy S. Adams was siiot and killed by
John Nipper, a young' white 'man living
on Adam's place and employed by him.
Mr. Adams' farm is located about 13
miles north of Raleigh and about one
mile from the residence of 'Squire I).
Allen. Mpper lives with his mother
in a small two-room house about two
hundred yards from Adam' residence.
Mr.Griffis, rural mail c rier on the
route traversing fha? section of the
county last night gave a Post man such
informaion as he could gather yesterday
about the killing. lie said that Adams
had been drinking a good deal for sev
eral days and when under the mfluer.ee
of whiskey was inclined to be trouble
some. About sunrise yesterday morning he
left his residence and went over to the
bouse occupied by 'Nipper and began to
abuse him for not being out in the field
plowing. He ordered him out at ohce
:;nd tried to enforce the order hy an as
sault on the young man. Nipper told
him he was going as s-.uon as he could
eat his breakfast. Nipper's mother was
in the room and it is presumed that she
protested against the assault upon her
son as Adams turned from the boy to
hr and attempted to strike her, it is
?aid with a rock in his hand.
At this juncture young Nipper grab
bed a shot gun that was in the room
and standing only a few feet away tired
a heavy charge at Adams, the whole
ioad taking effect making a great hole
in bis .body near the right nipple, lie'
threw his right hand to his breast just
as. the gun tired and die little finger
was shot off. Two stray shot struck
him in the nose.
Adams' wife heard the nodse of the
disturbance and started to the Nipper
house to take or try to persuade her
husband away. When about fifty
yards from the house she heard the fa
tal shot and saw her husband come out
of the door with his hand on his breast,
He advanced about twenty steps to
ward his wife and said to her:
"He's got me this time."
Those were his last 'words . for as he
uttered them he fell in his tracks and
expired instantly. ,
Nipper, the young man who did the
shooting, is about 26 years old and has
been working for Adams for the past
seven years, lie gave himself up to
the officers -without making any at
tempt to escapg. 'Squire Allen took
charge of the case until Coroner Moore,
who lives at Apex, was 'phoned for and
arrived on the scene. 'Squire Allen
says Nipper is an industrious, honest,
but illiterate young man, and ; that he
has never before had any dif cult y.
Adams, it is said, has been shot twice
before, when in a drunken condition,
but not seriously wounded.
N pper expressed great regret at the
unfortunate occurrence and cried over
it. Said he thought he was bound to
protect himself and his mother.
Coroner Moore reachftd the scene
about one o'clock yesterday afternoon
and held an inquest. "The verdict of
the jury was that the shooting was in
self defense justifiable, and Nipper was
released. It appeared that Adams as
saulted the young man and his mother
with a rock and that after striking Nip
per a time or two he then struck his
mother ar.d as he attempted to strike
the second blow the young man seized
rite gun and shot him.
Adams leaves a wife and one little
girl. His wife was formerly Miss Hoy
Fort and had resided in Raleigh, but
wasJiving-in the country near Wake
Forest when she married Adams.

Training of Southern Boys
"The Need of Technical Training for
Southern White Boys," 19 the title of a
pamphlet just issued by the Manufac
turers' Record Publishing Company of
this city. The pamphlet is the outcome
of an address made by Mr. R. II. Ed
monds at the annual convention of tha
Cotton Spinners' Association at Atlanta,
Ga., in November last. In this address
the suggestion was made that the most
valuable undeveloped wealth of the
"South, the greatest of its natural re
sources, is the untrained material of Its
boys and girls; that the development of
the South can never reach its full meas
ure until it provides facilities for the
industrial training of its white boys.
A number of letters were received by
Mr. Edmonds indorsing this view, and
Southern newspapers published numer
ous articles on the same subject. These
letters and articles have been incorpo
