WILL SANDERS IS
SLAIN BY ED SANS

Will Sanders was slain Monday
evening by Ed Sans on West Main
street in front of the soft drink stand
At ore happ. Sanders ls the sen of
John Sanders, one of the oldest citizens
of this city. He is about 20 years of
age and was inclined to be way ward in
his habits. Monday evening he and a
young man named Winnie Campbell,
visited several soft drink stands intend
ing to leave the city that evening for
Virginia. They finally went to Rupp's
place. Sans was an employee of Rupp
and came here about year ago from
South Carolina. Some trouble arose
in this place between Sanders and
John Onks and Sanders and Campbell
left and went across the street to Ed
place. Sans and man
Salyers were left at Rupp's.
They came to the door and Sans be-
gan to create trouble with Sanders,
who told Sans he had nothing against
him and If he had hurt his feelings he
begged his pardon. This seemed to
anger Sans rather than pacify him
and he started terrific abuse of San
ders. Finally they met on the street

car track and scrap was started.
Some witnesses say Sanders. struck
first with q bottle and some say Sans
struck first with a knife. The result
was that Sanders received q wound on
the left side of his neck that reached
from point back of his ear around in
front and across his larynx, almost
seyering his head from his body. After
receiving this frightfHl cash and while
bleeding profusely and breathing
through a severed windpipG, he mirac-
ulously ran several hundred yards to
the office of DR.. Sells, where several
physicians Immediately gave him at
tention but without possible hope of
saving him. After reaching the doc.
tors office in this mutilated condition,
he was able to talk and asked the doc
tors to save him. The cash, however,
was beyond human aid and he soon
bled to death.
Sans and Salyers were Immediately
arrested, Salyers as an accessory, as he
refused to let bystanders separate the
combatants. AT the preliminary hear
ing before Esq. Pierce, Salyer was re-
leased and Sans was bound to court.
The question of his bond was not de-
ecided as The Comet goes to press.
The remains of Will Sanders were
laid to rest in Oak Hill this afternoon.

Gov. Benton NcMillin addressed the
voters of this city and section Tuesday
afternoon at the court house. He was
in splendid form and delivered one of
the most forceful democratic speeches
that has been heard here in a long
while. Hs pleaded eloqusatiy for aen-
ocratic unity in the state and nation
and presented many and convincing
reasons why he should again be placed
in charge of the old Ship of State. 1t
is generally conceded that he made
Tennessee one of the ablest governors
ii has ever had and his administration
was both clean and efficient During
his two terms many real reforms were
inaugurated that have been great
blessing to the state and the people.
His speech was received with enthusi-
asm by The old democrats who served
in many democratic battles ard they
are ready for the fray, chamning the
Bit, ready to go.

Who is Tom Preston? He is a big
banker in Chattanooga where is repcse
and the least statesman in the south
in action. lie is such an able financier
in his own opinion that he wanted the
legislature to make him one of COM
mission Of five TO advise the state fsnd-
ing board, the governor, comptroller
and treasurer how to refund the state
debt. True to his instincts as a finan-
cier and proof that his craftsmanship
was then dormant he proposed that
this commission should sit two years
at five thousand dollars and expenses
per each member per year. He now
offers himself as a business candidate
for governor, but fails to state whether
he is the representative of Big Busi-
ness" or not. The presumption is that
the state could save $4,000 by electing
him, as he would not then need the
advice of the commission, the child of
his financial brain. But Tennessee is
going to save more than that, it is GO
ing to save its reputation by not plac-
ing a commercialized STATESMAN who
has more dollars than cents in the gu
bernatoriaI chair.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1912-07-25

It's really amusing TO see certain
newspapers trying to create the i'm
preston that Banker Preston is going
to sweep the state in the gubernatorial
primary. The truth is he has not a
ghost of a chance and they know ii,
but they keep whistling to keep up
their courage. McMillin will carry
every county in this section and Pres
ton will have to exceed the speed limit
if he finishes in second place.
