AS an Introductory comment on
the character of the convention; the
Jackson Sun of last Sunday said:
1t must have been a matter Of
pride to the Independents to hear
themselves so highly praised and to
find themselves in such demand in
a Democratic convention, the like of
which bad not occurred in this
county in several years. Such men
as G. G. Bond, A. W. Stovoll, A. H.
Askew, R. L. Chester and W. G.
Timberlake were present and serv-
ing on committees while old time
Regulars like j. D. Hunt and John
H. Trice were on the floor praisine
with matchless oratory the virtues
Of their erstwhile political oppon.
ents and singing a song Of joy for
the reunion of the party. But such
is the nealing power of time and
the wonderful transformation Of
politics.
This was just about the first time
the Democrats Of Madison county
we mean the Regulars that were in
the days when Bob Taylor carried
the county by fifty votes-have had
the good sense to really bury the
hatchet and open wide the fold to
all Democrats alike,
We congratulate the Democrats
Of old Madison especially on the en-
dorsement given her own citizen
Mr.. Enloe, and their good sense in
making all known Democrats dele
gates to the State convention.

terry Severed and Man Dies
Before Physician Could
Reach the Scene

One Of those fearful tragedies, the
happening Of which shocks the
whole immediate country, occurred
on Thursday evening Of last week,
four miles Southwest Of Lexington,
on the Purdy road, when Sam Hop
per, aged about twenty-one, killed
with a pocket knife, his uncle, John
Hopper, aged forty-three,
The terrible tragedy had its orr
gin in a matter entirely too small
to justify the taking Of any human
life, much less the killing Of so near
a relative and a man Of family by
one who had barely reached mans
estate.
We have not inquired into nor
tried to secure particulars, but the
general rumor is that the men. un-
Gle and nephew, had a dispute over
the ownership Of pair Of scissors
or shears, and that growing out Of
that dispute, when Sam Hopper at
the time stated, was passing the
home Of his uncle, the latter asked
why he had been making certain
statements. Sam replied that he
had not done so and the elder man
repeated the charge that Sam had
said the things with which he had
just been charged. At this juno
ture Sam called his uncle a-liar,
it is alleged, and the uncle picked up
a stick and struck Sam with it, Sam
retaliating by drawing his pocket
knife and inhicting two wounds on
his assailant, one severing both the
,jugular vein and carotid artery, and
the other being in the side or fur
ther back. The cut in the throat
caused death in between fifteen and
twenty minutes. DR.. Sam I. Park
er was called from Lexington by
telephone and reached the scene in
about thirty minutes, only to find
that John Hopper had died while
his wife was trying to hold the
blood vessels with her hands until
medical help could arrive.
A warrant was sworn out before
ESQ., G. w. Stewart for the arrest Of
Sam Hopper and when Deputy Sher-
iff J. j. Woody armed with the war
rant went to the nearby home Of
George Hopper, father Of Sam, he
found that Sam was hidden out, but
the father promised that he would
come to Lexington and surrender
himself on Friday morning, which
was done and Sam was committed
to Jail pending his preliminary tria
before a justice Of the peace.
John Hopper is survived by nj:
wife and one child, while the mar
who killed him is unmarried.
The remains Of John Hopper were
inferred near Sardis, on last Friday
and strange to say, Sam, the mar
who killed him, in the custody o
an officer. attended the funeral o
the near relative whose life he hat
taken.
The occurrence is all the NOR
distressing because Of the fact tina
the Hopper family is classed anon
our best people.

LOCAL SCHOOL TEAMS
PLAY BOSTON CHAMPS
Tno of League Leaders in Interscho-
lastic Circuit to Meet Welles-
ley High Quint.

Final arrangements for the inter
sectional prep school games between
the three leaders in the local Inter-
scholastic Basketball League and the
Wellesley High School five of Boston,
were made yesterday when Congress-
man William H. Carter, of Wellesley
County. Mass. assumed responsibility
for any deficiency in the way of ex-
penses which may occur through the
series.
This team, which the Washington
scholastic fives will meet, has been
declared the champion high school
team of Boston, having won that title
after three weeks OF playing in the
league and as they have won the
championship for the past three years,
the Washington teams will be COM
PEELED to be on their guard.
1t is proposed that the first game
OF the series will be played on Mon
day. Western being the visiting teams
is scheduled to take their chances
against the Boston champions. On
Wednesday the Army and Navy
Props and the Wellesley team will
lock horns, and from the present in
dications the games should draw ban
ner crowds.
Western, champion Of tho local In
terscholastic League, Is slightly weak
at present, through the sickness of
Peine, the crack forward, and 1t is
problematical whether Peine will oe
back in the game by Monday. when
the first game of the series will be
