“What’s the trouble here?” inquires the judge.
The white complainant—a boy—says:
“This nigger insulted me!” and he tells the epithet the Negro applied.
“Did you call him that?”
“No sah, I never called him no such name.”
“Three-seventy-five—you mustn’t insult white people.”
And here is the report of the case of a six-year-old Negro boy from the Georgian:
Because Robert Lee Buster, a six-year-old Negro boy, insulted Maggie McDermott, a little girl, who lives at 507 Simpson Street, Wednesday afternoon, he was given a whipping in the police station Thursday morning that will make him remember to be good.
The case was heard in the juvenile court before Judge Broyles. It was shown that the little Negro had made an insulting remark to the little girl.
