An Ex-Sheriff Included in 1
Indictment Against Slayers
of Carmack.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 14.? 1
At 2 :15 o'clock this afternoon
the grand jury of Davidson conn
ty returned a true bill in which (
Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Ins son g
Robin i Cooper and ex-Sheriff t
John D. Sliarpe are jointly charg t
pd with the murder of ex-Sena- I
tor E. W. Carmack and in which f;
Sharpe is also indicted on the s
charge of being an accessory be t
fore the fact. The names of six i
witnesses appear on the bach ot
the indictment as tollows: Mrs o
Ooby D. Carmack, Mrs. Charles t
Eastman, Carey Folk, Dr. James 1
Wittenberg, Mrs. Martha Mor- t!
gan and Miaa Mary Skeffington. c
The Mrs. Carmack in the list y
is the widow of the former sena s
tor. Mrs. Eastman it was to v
whom Mr. Carmack had spoken ii
just before the shooting began, r
Carey Folk is deputy insurance d
commissioner and passed along e
the etreet near the time of the a
kil'ing. Mtb. Morgan lires dia- t<
gonally across from the scene of
the killing. Dr. Wittenberg runs a
an optical establishment in the ti
west eud of the Arcade through o
which the Coopers accompanied o
by Sharpe are alleged to have tl
passed shortly before the tragedy o
occurred. Miss Mary Skefhng- o
ton is State librarian. r<
There are two couu'.s in the
indictment, the first charging t<
the thrpe men jointly with the v
murder and the second one h
charging John 1). Sharpe with a
being an accessory betore the tl
tact. o
The name of S. Carmack, a
brother of the slain man, appears b
on the indictment as prosecutor. v
Robin J. Cooper will in all jj
probability be able to bo moved it
in several days to the county
jail. r<
The Memphis conference of g|
the Methodist church, South, in 8j
session at Covington, Tenn., today
adopted resolutions declar- e
ing that Carmack died a martyr
to his convictions of duty and 10 ti
the cause of temperance and of n
righteousness. L

Chester special in the News u
and Courier: The killing of Kx- ta
Senator Edward W. Carmack on 01
the streets of Nashville, Tenn., a
on Monday afternoon will cause it
particular regret in Chester h
County, for the brilliant Tenn- h
essean was descended from Ches fc
ter County stock and his splen
did career had been watched with
grea' interest here. Just when
his ancestors migrated to Tenn- N
essee it has been impossible to ascertain,
but it is well known
that Senator Carmack was a
linealjjdescendant, a great grandson
or a groat-great-grandson of ,'j
Capt. William Anderson, a K *v- i;
olutionary hero, who lived on tlie Jy
hanks of Fishing Creek in this (1,
county and who fell a victim ?o <?'
a party of Tories who waylaid in
and murdered him while on a
short visit to his family. Capt.
Anderson, who was also the tore
tamer 01 tne Anaeraons, meven
sons, McDonalds, and others n,
in this county, left three child- ^
ren, and it was from one of these
that Senatoi Carmack sprang. p<
Capt. Anderson was a rJovcn- o)
anter, ami some of his children j{]
were probably among the vast l(
number of that persuasion who
left this county during the first
and second quarters of the last j>|
century and sought more congen- ?>
ial atmosphere in the central "jj
West.
THE LANC
Important Address to F
IP. D. Carriers by Stat
President Peterson.
L\> the Rural Carriers ot Soul]
Carolina.
The greatest power in he wort
o'lay is organised power. Sit
ilehan ied individual** can do li
le or nothing: hut when uni'ei
liey can accomplish wonder1
Cvery carrier appreciates th;
act to the fullest; therefore
hall not dwell upon it, only t
he extent ot reminding you tha1
n unity t <ere is strength.
Let us arouse ourselves an
rganize. Uur State organiza
ion can be useful in many ways
st. By working together, wi
he prestige of the Stale assr
iation behind each of us, w
rill finally succeed in creating
entiment for better roads?an
rho should be more interest?*
a good roads than the rural cat
ier? This thing can uot. b
one in a day; we must Uee]
yerlastingly at it hb the day
nd months go by and tbe vie
Dry will surely be won.
2nd. The salary question i
nother incentive for organize
ion. By co-operating with tb
ther State associations through
ut the United States we shall b
lie better able to communicat
ur wants and need* to tbe po-<
ffice department and thus indi
sctly to congress.
3rd There is a social and tra
irna! feature of inestimabl
due in getting together in coun
j and State meetings. Trut
II of us can not be delegates t
ie State conventions, but it w
rgamze we can send good mei
) the State convention who ma'
e able to bring the next cor
ention to our very doors?firs
1 one part of the State and the
i another.
There are a great many othe
jasons for organizing which
:iall not mention for lack o
pace.
If this call should meet th
ye of a carrier in an unorgan
jed county, he should lose n
me in making of himself a pio
eer in this cause by getting busy
et him drop a postal card t<
very carrier in his county (th
tate association will pay for thi
urds) and urge them to mee
im at some central locality, o?
hanksgiving day, or New Year'
ay (not later than this) and or
anize. If you will secure a hal

tate officers to help you organ
:e.
in closing, let me impres
pon you the supreme impor
?nce of organizing. They ar
rganizing very rapidly in Nortl
nrl West and in our neighbor
lg states. L^t us not lag be
ind. If organization is a gor.t
ting for them, it must be goo<
