To His Excellency, J. M. Terrell,

Governor of Georgia, Atlanta:

Governor of Georgia, Atlanta:

Whereas, on the night of December 16, 1906, parties unknown came to the quiet home of one Frank Grant, coloured, a citizen of this county, and shot into his residence, and then went to the home of Henry Scism, coloured, a tenant of said Frank Grant, and shot promiscuously around his (the said Scism’s) house, and demanded of him to leave the county under severe penalty.

This has caused the tenant, Henry Scism, to leave, and Frank Grant to sell his little house at a sacrifice and leave. It comes to us that Frank Grant is a quiet, innocent, hard-working citizen. Therefore, we, the undersigned officers and citizens of Habersham County, Georgia, pray you to offer a liberal reward for the arrest and conviction or these unknown parties—say $100 for the first and $50 for each succeeding one.

(Signed) C. W. Grant, County School Commissioner. J. A. Erwin Clerk, S. C., M. Franklin, Ordinary J. D. Hill, T. C. H. C.
