DEAD IN THE COOSA
Body Os A Negro Pound Yesterday
Afternoon
HE HAD BEEN DEAD SEVERAL DAYS
Aid it 1. Believed He is the Victim of
Fuul Play -Ao One Knows
Him.
A dead negro was found in the
Coosa river yesterday afternoon.
And the opinion of the officers is that
he was first killed and then thrown in
the river.
The ghastly fipd was made about
3:30 o’clock by Henry and Sam Mcln
tyre, two boys who had been down
the river fishing. They were coming
up the river in a boat when they no
ticed the body lying face downward
only two or three feet from the bank.
Arthur Wheatley, another boy, at
once hurried to town and gave the
alarm. Quite a crowd went down
from the city, policemen Jones and
Collier getting there among the first.
The body was taken from the river,and
brought to the city, where Coroner Dren
don held an inquest. It seemed as if the
body had been in the water for some days
and from its position it was judged that
it could hardly have floated there.
Tramped down places on the bank of the
river, a stocky piece of sapling and some
rocks were noticed by those who went
after the body. When examined here a
bruised place on the side of the head
above the right ear was found, and' all
these things led to a theory of foul play.
The negro seemed to be about 35
years of age, and was of ginger-cake
color. No one knew him, and as yet
the body is unidentified. Thirty-oue
cents—six nickels and a one cent piece
were found in his pockets.
The jury returned a verdict in ac
cordance with these facts.
Populist McGarrity.
It hat been repeatedly rumored of
late in this district that McGarrity,the
populist aspirant for Congressional
honors, realizing the bitter pill of de
feat which will soon be his lot if backed
only by his own constituents, is at
tempting to induce the republicans to
put Massey out of the race entirely and
join the populists in electing him. Tn
return for it he proposes to support
any and every high tariff measure
which may be introduced by ’.he repub
licans in Congress, and vote for Buck’s
candidate for Speaker. An Argus re
porter interviewed Hon. E. H, Chandler,
chairman of the Republican Executive
Committee, last Saturday, and in refer
ring to the matter, Mr. Chandler said:
“Although I have had no conversations
with Mr. McGarrity myself, all the lead
ing republicans.of Cedartown, Calhoun,
Marietta, and many other places can tes
tify that Mr. McGarrity has proposed to
exchange his support for high tariff and
what financial questions that he consist
ently can, for the republican vote.” This
is indeed a high and noble standard of
statesmanship, and is quiet characteristic
of the average populistic campaigner
who is willing to hold office for the sake
of his country.—Dalton Argus.
