A SUDDEN DEATH
Man Supposed to be a Member Of the
Soldiers Home, Expires Suddenly
While in Room Up Town-coroner
Called to Investigate.

Coroner II. H. Nichols was sum-
moned to rooms over 13 South First
street, at 2:l5 this afternoon, to take
charge of the body of man who had
died suddenly. The man was identified
by papers on his person as l.. S. Nc
Coy, of Whitton, but is supposed to
have been a member of the Soldiers
Home
Mccoy went to the First street
rooms about 2 o'clock, and after re-
naming there fifteen minutes suddenly
expired. He was we'll dressed and
cleanly appearing, and is about 60 or
90 years of age. The coroner has not
yet decided to hold an inquest. A diary
found on the. mans person indicated
that he had been in poor health for
some time
Information from the Soldiers Home
is to the effect that l.. S. Mccoy is a
member there, and if the dead man
proves to be the same Mccoy, the Of
ticials there will take charge of the

have this point fixed firmly in their
minds; and they also see that the rea-
son they cannot get action on the
roads and compel revisions is because
the roads are screened in their cynical
and sneering policies by well organ
lied gang of political hcnchmen.
The people of Georgia are very prac-
teal people. II is this gang that they
are after this year They intend to
go to the root of the trouble. And it
is this intention which lies at the bot
tom of hoie Smiths popularity. The
people see that he is a strong man and
an earnest man: and they intend to
employ him as their servant to smash
the system which keeps them from
their rights.
And the people of Fulton county are
neither less discerning nor less patri
otto than the people of the other coun
ties of Georgia They intend to re-
buke the ringsters N a community
which thee latter have fondly believed
to be a stronghold of the railroad poll
tician.

This Sound Familiar.


The opposition to Hon. Hoke Smith
Candidate for democratic nominee for
governor) has been from the beginning
of this campaign complacently counting
Fulton county into the ring columns
The opposition reckons too superficial
ly. This is not an ordinary political
campaign; but springs from a determi
nation on the part of all classes of
Georgia citizens to throw off the de-
grading shackles which special inter-
ests have put upon the state. And
Fulton county is no less less patriotic
than any other county Of Georgia. The
voters represented by the gathering at
the court house last night are men who
have seen that the people of the state
will never get an even break with the
railroads until the railroad political
ring they hide behind has been over
thrown These men do not care tink-
er's dam for the petty ambitions of lit
tie politicians who live by "A casual and
unthinkng promise of support because
of a superficial personal friendship.
The considerations which will move the
citizens of Georgia to vote this year go
deeper
They go as deep as the conviction
that 1t is time for a political upheaval
when the business interests of the state
cannot compel justice from the trans
portation companies because these hide
behind a fighting line of cheap poll
ticians. Atlanta is an industrial anG
commercial center, and there is no cit
izen who can be Indifferent to the
mercantile and manufacturing inter
ests without being Indifferent to his
own personal prosperity. The natural
