About "HoIy Rollers.

CARTERSVILLE, GA, Aug. CIV.
H. Griffin, eX-mayor of Kingston, Ga,
candidate for mayor and. son of R. l..
Griffin. former sheriff of Barlow county,
was shot and instantly killed on the
streets of Kingston last night by w. j.
Wooten, a bailiff of Kingston. The
shooting was the result of a remark
made by Griffin concerning the Holy
Rollers" of whom Wooten is recent
convert.
Wooten gave himself up and is held
in the county jail here without bail.
According to half a hundred specta-
tors Mayor Griffin, with a number of
other men, was standing in front Of
the calaboose listening to the rawlings
of a drunken negro prisoner. Wooten
and a friend walked up and asked why
the negro had been jailed
oh, the trouble with him is he is
one of your Holy Roller Russellites,"
said Griffin jokingly. You're one your
self. bailiff; you ought to know the
sounds"
You stop kidding me about my re-
ligion, Griffin shouted Wooten. You
say that and you're a damned liar"
Griffin struck Wooten with his open
palm on the cheek; Wooten staggered
back Griffin struck again at the bail
iff, who leaped back ten feet, drew his
pistol and fired a shot straight into the
ex-mayor's heart. Griffin fell dead in
the roadway. The crowd disarmed
Wooten. after a struggle, and thrust
him into the cell with the bowling ne
gro.
While Wooten sat behind the bars
Griffns mother-in-law Mrs. Hender-
son, who was visiting the ex-mayor's
family went up TO the bars.
why did you kill my boy?" she de-
manded.

Wooten. 81 had been ordered from on
high that he had to die"
