Preston GOFORTH, Jr., and a colored man by the name of WILSON were riding along the road and were running or galloping their horses, when GOFORTH pulled out a pistol to fire for amusement. By accident a ball entered WILSON's body not far from the heart, and the doctor says there is no hope for his life. It was purely accidental. WILSON stated that they were good friends and no sort of misunderstanding had ever existed between them. This is a lamentable affair, and should be a lesson to all who handle pistols for the fun of the thing.
