Moncks Corner:
White Men Shoot Up Church Excursioners,” Pittsburgh
Courier, 8/17/1940
“White Men Shoot Up Church Excursioners; Groups Is
Told ‘No N—-rs Allowed After Sundown'” “Five
persons returning from a church excursion at
Eutawville Sunday night were wounded by shotgun
blasts when they were fired upon at a filling station in
Bonneau, near here, by unidentified white men….”
Four church members and the white bus driver.
“According to the Rev. Mr. [Robert] Mack, the bus
developed motor trouble and was driven into a filling
station at Bonneau and left by the driver with consent
of the operator while another bus was being secured
from North Charleston. Leaving Bonneau at 10 o’clock
for the second bus, the driver returned at midnight.
“As passengers were transferring to the second
bus eight white men drove up and ordered the
excursioners to ‘get out here [sic] right quick. We
don’t allow no d–n n—-rs ’round here after
sundown.’ The excursioners, the white driver, and the
station operator tried to explain the emergency to no
avail. A second car drove up with eight more white
men who began firing on the group with shotguns.
Having no weapons, the excursioners fled into nearby
woods. Many were still missing when the bus left at
one Monday morning.”
