Title A name given to the resource Lynching in Turner County Description An account of the resource Waycross Evening Herald dated Saturday, April 16, 1910. The headline reads and the article details the lynching of two African American men, Albert Royal and Charley Jackson, near Amboy, Georgia. The article explains that the trouble started from an incident involving Charley Jackson, who was previously arrested and released on bail. The two men were killed by a mob, and the local community was greatly excited over the matter. Where this article differs from the others is that it says that the victims (allegedly) boasted "with pride to their fellows" about the "criminal assault on a white woman." This boasting came to the attention of the 5 men and they decided to murder them. Source: Waycross Evening Herald, April 16, 1910.

The presence of open-top touring cars with narrow tires and upright bodies is consistent with Ford Model T-era vehicles, which remained common until 1927. The absence of later streamlined automobiles, combined with the unpaved roadway and period clothing styles, supports this timeframe.
