Unprovoked
Murder
Of a Good Man —Victim
Has No Warning
The following telegram was
received Saturday by Mrs. Mary
Sloop of this place: "J. M. Sloop
shot dead t»-day. Rome, Ge."
Later telegrams, though giving
no particulars, not even the
name of the slayer, stated that
the attack was entirely without
warning, and the last brought
news that the murderer had been
arrested. The telegrams came
from Mr. W. C. KendricK, fath
er-in-law of Mr. Sloop, and,
doubtless, his state of mind was
such as to rendei him unable to
give further information. Mr.
C. T, Sloop, of Ashaville, and
Mr. J1 T. Presson, of Norfolk,
Va., brother and brother-in-law
of the murdered man, have gone
to Rome, Ga., where the deed
was committed, and where Mr.
Sloop had lived for years. They
have not yet had time to write or
3end particulars*
Mr. J. M. Sloop was a man of
particularly quiet and gentle dis
position, so much so that the
first thought of all who knew
him was, "Well, he didn't do
anything to make anybody kill
him." He had suffered all his
life from asthma, and-, when
iway from his work, he only de
sired to be in his quiet home. He
married, seven years ago, Miss
Kendrick, of Rome, Ga. He
had not been at his mother's
home here for thirteen years,un
til he came, with his brother and
Asters, for the re-union here last
year. The recollection of his
kindness and affection for his
3ear mother and other relatives
then, is very touching to therri
now. The poor mother, who has
lived her quiet, industrious, use
ful life blamelessly, whose very
soul was set upon this her eldest
born, and whose one thought,
lext to duty to her God, has
been duty to her children, is
overwhelmed by the terrible
blow. In this, her dark hour,
she has the deepest sympathy of
every heart in her home town.
The Lord God Whose she is
jnd Whom she has served be
with her.
Besides hijj-mother, Mr. Sloop
is survived by his wife, a broth
er and two sisters, one of whom,
Mrs. J. T. Presson, of Norfolk,
has come to be with her mother
in her grief. Further particu
lars will be given later.

The Elections
In New York last Tuesday
Ward Bartlett and Willard Bart
lett, Republican md Democratic
candidates are elected judges «f
the Court of Appeals. They
were elected over the Indepen
dent candidates. In New York
City, where the Independent or
Hearst element fused with the
Republican, Tammany won the
fight.
Tom Johnson, the noted re
form Mayor of Cleveland was re
elected —and a good thing.
In Mississippi and Virginia
everything is Democratic, for
which we can be humbly thank
ful, considering that Kentuckv
will have a Republican governor,'
and is Democratic in the Legisla
ture by a narrow margin only.
Sorry, but it isn't the Democrat's
fault.
Republican majorities have in
creased somewhat in Pennsylva
nia and Massachusetts and very
largely decreased in New Jersey.
It was at first thought, in fact,
that the Democrats had carried
the election there. In Maryland
the Democrats won about every
thing there was in sight. They
have the Governor, Legislature,
and the State ticket.
The Democratic governor is re
elected in Rhode Island.
