CAPTAIN R. W. BOONE
President of First National
Bank Died Last Friday
.
Morning.
el
Captain R. W, Boone, president of
the First National Bank of Marietta,
and one of the city’s foremost citizens,
died at his home on Kennesaw avenue
Friday morning at seven o’clock,
The news of Captain Boone’s death
was a great shock to his friends and
to the people generally. He was uni
versally popular, and had hosts of
warm personal friends among all
classesand all over the county. Gen
tle, courteous, kind, thoughtful and
obliging, every one who came within
the range of his acquaintance was
drawn toward him by the ties of
sirongest friendship.
Captain Boone’s illness extended
over several months, bhut it was not
known that his condition was serious.
He went to Florida last winter and
remained until several weeks ago. The
stay in Florida did not bring the re
stored health for which his friends
had hoped, but it was not known until
a few days ago that his condition was
alarming. He, however, knew, and he
met the inevitable end “as one wraps
the drapery of his couch about him
and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
Governor Joseph M. Brown was one
of Captain Boone's closest friends. The |
Governor came up from Atlanta Sat
urday, and also attended the funeral
on Sunday, and was one of the pall
bearers. The death of Captain Boone
was to him a deep personal loss. |
“He was one of my intimate
friends,” said the Governor, “as close
to me as if we had been blood kin. lief
had a regular engagement to take
Sunday supper with me, and we were |
* together a great deal. I never knew a |
truer friend or a more thoughtful man.
I never knew one who seemed to look
out more for opportunitics to oblige
and to be of service. 1 heve no doubt
that he has done mort s to help
people in need than : other citizen
of Marietta. He was a superb busi
ness man, interested in every thing
constructive and contributing by his
means, by his advice and by his ex
ample to everything that made for the
general up-building and the advance
of the comunity. His death is a great
blow to Marietta, and a deep sorrow
to his friends.”
Captain Boone was a great-great
grandson of Daniel Boone, the Ken
tucky pioneer, and was very proud of |
that fact. He was a native of North |
Carolina, and lived part of his life in
Heyward county. |
He came to Marietta from ()1'1:\11(10.1
Fla.,, in 1887, and was so impressed
with the city that he decided to nmkr-'
it his home. He organized the I-‘irs!:
National Bank and became its ;n'(\.\,i—i
dent. '
His wisdom as a financier wns}
shown by the fact that he foresaw 1110,'
panic of 1907 and provided ample |

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
‘Mrs. Ralph Stephens Suffers
~ Injury at Hands of a
| Strange Visitor.
The citizens in the eastern part of
Oregon district were stirred up Mon
day night because of an aggravated
case of assault and battery upon the
person of the wife of Mr. Ralph Steph
ens, who lives about five miles from
Marietta, on the Dallas road.
l About seven o'clock that evening a
stranger, a man apparently of foreign
birth, and giving his name as John
Wilson, appeared at the home of Mrt.
Stephens and asked permission to
spend the night, sayving he wanted
only a bed, and did not desire either
gupper or breakfast. He exhibited a
roll of money, and stated that he was
able and willing to pay for his lodg
ing.
Mr. Stephens finally agreed to keep
him, and at eight o'clock the family
and their guest retired for the night.
Two hours later, Mr. Stephens was
awakened by the groans and struggles
of his wife. Thinking it was a night
mare, he undertook to awake her,
when he discovered his visitor by the
side of the bed, with both hands drawn
tightly around the neck of Mrs. Steph
ens, making desperate efforts to stran
gle her. i
Mr. Stephens jumped to his feet at
once and succeeded in loosening the
man’s hold on his wife’s throat, and
held him wuntil he could secure his
shotgun, a few feet away. This he
!m'osemod to the visitor, and held him
until his wife was able to go to the
home of the constable, Mr, Jim Har
dage, and return with the officer.
{ Mr. Hardage placed the man under
{arrest, and brought him that night to
| the Cobb county jail, where he will re
tmnin until a committal trial can be
had, a warrant in the meantime hav
i Ing been issued.
l The defendant is an utter stranger
tin this section, claims Scotland as his
' home, and says he has been in Atlanta
;*'4 r three years. When asked if he
| was hunting work, he would make no
gru;‘ly. but when the officer inquired
| what he was doing in that section of
| country at the time, he readily answe:
| ed, “That’s my husiness.”
l It is certainly a strange case, and
| one would naturally infer from the
| conduct of the man that he is laboring
| under some mental trouble, On the
i:!l!w-r hand, it must be remembered
]ill:l! all men, no matter what may he
{ the condition of their minds, do not
1 reason as philosophers.

Vote for William McKinney
Why He Should Be Elected.
\ Communicated,
No one will deny that William Me-
Kinney has made Cobb county a good
sheriff. He has fearlessly discharged
the duties of the office. This being
true, it is only fair and right that he
should be elected again.
Many good citizens who have the
interest of the county at heart claim
that McKinney is the best sheriff this
county has ever had since the days of
Pink Stephens.
Mr. Daniel, who is running as depu
ty with Mr. McKinney, is one of the
best and most substantial citizens in
the southern part of the county, and
his friends claim that he will make
a good deputy, if elected.
Mr. Kincaid.
After Mr. Kincaid, who is opposing
McKinney, had been defeated on an
other ticket, McKinney took him as
his deputy and they were elected.
Recently Mr, Kincaid came out in
an open letter stating that there had
never been a cross word between him
l:md Mr. McKinney during their as
sociation as sheriff and deputy sheriff.
He also stated that Mr. MeKinney was
as fair a man as he had ever dealt
with—that he gave him one-half of
every penny that the office paid, and
that McKinney asked himi to run with
him again as deputy, but that he de
clined to do, deciding to form another
ticket,
l Mr. McKinney stated that he went
in office with Mr. Kincaid, and was
willing to run with him again, and to
be elected with him or go down in
defeat with him.
Mr. Kincaid's conduct alone in this
matter should defeat him.
There was no announced opposition
to McKinney and Kincaid's re-election
at the time that Mr, Kincaid withdrew,
and he is responsible for the fight that
is now on, :
He will only get one-half of the pro
ceeds of the office if he is elected with
the deputy he is runinng with now
he wag already getting the same with
McKinney,
After McKinney had taken him on
his ticket with him, was elected with
him, stood up to him like a brother,
never in any was mistreated him,
{ gave him one-half of every cent the
{ office paid, and Kincaid deserts him
without cause and formed a new ticket
shows a lack of appreciation of what
McKinney has done for him, instigates
1a fight for the office where there was
tllflno. and tries to defeat the unbroken
custom that if a man makes a good
I'officer he is entitled to an endorse
t ment, making his full term four years.
| The right spirit on the part of Kin
| caid would be the same spirit that was
| manifested by MeKinney, that is, to go
down in defeat rather than desert a
i true friend,
' van you give a good reason why
you should vote fom Kincaid in vref
erence to McKinney?
‘ Mr. Kincaid says that McKinney is
a fair, honest, and henorable man—
has he not been in a position for
the last two years to know?
Is it not right and fair and just that
McKinney should be re-elected, espec
tially over his deputy that has deserted
| hin without cause?—Adv,

where is thy victory?” and told of the
lovely, helpful life Mrs. Butler had
led. She was only thirty-six years of
age,
