On a Saturday night two men lay near the Georgia railroad at the 538 mile post under the influence of liquor. A night train passed, striking one man dead and injuring the other, while a nearby family learned of the tragedy. Separately, a Democratic Executive Committee meeting in Covington elected N. J. Tomlin temporary chair and L. B. Stone secretary, and set a county primary for November with a three-member committee to oversee ballots, urging unity to avoid defeat by divided foes.
