8 8mm tin* ??, Carlos Corbett
1 Wat oat one night ud found some
trash oa firs la ths road near his
bam. It had been set on fire by
the back fire from an automobile
which had stalled at that point and
in which five men were riding. Corv>
belt was so Infuriated that he tried
to kill the whole party* He succeedeg
in 'killing three of the men and
Jr seriously wounded' a fourth. The
fifth man escaped by falling to
the groung and feigning death
till he got an 'opportunity to get up
. | and run away. Corbett was a man I
of property and influence.
He was tried for killing one of |
the men and was acquitted, after
* ' the jury had deliberated for several'
hours. |
When he ?"\s placed on trial for
kill Inr annthor nno nf tho men
Judge S. G. W. Shipp ruled that!*
be could not be tried again, as the <
wholesale killing was all one act, for
which he had been acquitted. !<
This ruling set a very dangerous:
precedent. It made it possible for'
a man, when he might have a justifiable
excuse for killing one man, ,
to also kill any number of Innocent j;
by-standers without fear of punish- i
ment if he should be acquitted for
killing the first man. If Bryan Sal-j
ley, for whose murder Corbett was
tried, first drew a pistol and tried
to shoot Corbett, the latter may
have been justified in shooting him;
but that did not justify Corbett in
turning on the1 other men and try-:
ing to wipe out the whole bunch.
The solicitor appealed from Judge
Shipp's decision an^j the supreme'
court has reversed him and says
that Corbett may be fled for each I
p* /f the homicides.
\ e circuit judges of the state sat
wisn the supreme court in the case.
8 Supreme court Justices Cothran, Fraser
and Gary, an<j Circuit Judges
Prince, Wilson, Sease, Gary, Moore,1
Bowman, Maudlin, Peurlfoy, Town-j
send, DeVore and Rice agreed that!
Judge Shipp should be overruled,'
while Justice Watts was in favor of
sustaining Judge Shipp's decision.
It is Intimated that Corbett's attorneys
may appeal to the supreme
court of the United States. There
can hardly be any doubt as to that
court's decision. Corbett may ac
compiish ms purpose, However, uy
-wearing the case out by long delay
so that he can finally be acquitted
of all the murders when he finally
has to face trial.
COOPER OPENS CAMPAIGN.
i
Noah W. Cooper, one of the Cooper
brothers of Mullins, well-known
bankers and merchants of North and
South Carolina, is a candidate for
congress In Tennessee. The main
plenk in Mr. Cooper's platform is
"Freeing the Sunday Slaves." He
contends for a law which will pro-,
hibit men from working on Sundays.
A year or so ago Mr. Cooper carried
his fight to Washington, appeared
before a House committee and asked
for legislation that would compell
the observance of Sunday laws. The
following dispatch is from Lebanon,
Tenn., Mr. Cooper's adopted home.
Lebanan, Tenn.?Noah W. Cooper,
Nashville lawyer and a champion
of rigid Sunday observance laws opened
his campaign for the Democratic
nomination here in addition to
the freeing of "Sunday slaves" urg\
ig immediate disarmament by the i
X'nited States as an example to the
other nations of the world.
* "On November 11, when the con-'
ference meets, have our secretary of
peace tell them good news that, we
have stopped building battleships
and armies and want them to follow
us was Mr. Cooper's program. He
suggested such a man as John R.
Mott or Francis E. Clark for secretary
of peace, to succeed the Secretary
of War and Secretary of the
Navy. The sensational primary will
be held next August.
What the iioil Weevil Dicl.
"I have just returned from a trip
to Lee and Darlington counties," remarked
Mr. C. L. Moody, "and condi-;
tions over there are just about what
we had in the fall of 1914. I did not
visit the farms, but I understand that
only about 30 per cent of a crop was
made. This short crop reflects itself
in the towns I visited. Very little
business was going on. It might have
been a duH day, but there were not
as many people on the streets as you
would And in Dillon on a pretty Sunday.
What few I saw were gather
ed in groups here and there and I
presume they were talking hard
times. I went into several stores and,
never saw more than one customer in
the store at a time. I found the proprietor
sitting down reading a news-(
paper. He was proprietor, clerk, book
keeper and everything else. I talked
to him about an hour and during
that time he had one customer? a
bry who wanted a package of cigar-'
ettes. I take it for granted that Dillon
does more business in a day than,
these towns do in a week. But then,
Dillon is the best town in the State;
for its size, anyway. Everybody will
tell you that."
STRANGE CASE.
Rockingham Times.
A picture of an elderly man J
with gray hair and long gray beardl
recently appeared on a mirror inj
the home of Roscoe Garner, a Duplin
farmer, living near here and cannot
be eratsed- News of the strange apparition
spread rapidly and caused
no end o^speculation as to the causu
(of its appearance there; and hundreds
from far and near have Journeyed
to the Garner home to satisfy
their own curiosity about it. But
the likeness remains. ?Clinton News
Dispatch.
(Some people may not believe the
above, but this wrtter has seen something
similar to it. Some .of the readers
of The Times remember Capt. J.
B. Hogan, who ran as conductor on
the Seaboard from Raleigh to Moopoo.
Several moitha before hie death
there appeared oa a mirror that food'
In the hallway of hie home in Raleigh
the featurea'of a man'k face. It
could not be eraeed, but after the*
death pf Capt. Ho (an the face dleap-V
peered. Many people saw the picture
on the glees but could not account
for it.?Tlmea.)
o 'j
TOUCHED RESPONSIVE CHORD.*
_______ I '
The article that appeared in The
Herald a few weeks ago under the *
caption "Are We Headed for thel
Rocks?" has been widely quoted. We'
do not say this in spirit of egotism,
but merely to show that the article)
touched a responsive chord. It called
attention to the fast pace at which J
the world is moving, an<j Incidentally j
mentioned that indulgent parents and
automobiles were largely responsible ,
for the fast pace at which the youth
of the land are moving. Amon^ the 1
comments is one from The Newberry 1
Herald an<j News which we repro- 1
duce below: 1
We print an article fromthe Dillon <
Herald, and also some comments on 1
it from The Calhoun Times. It is a <
timely article, but it is useless to talk i
about the parents doing anything to
correct this tendency of which you <
speak, because they are really en- 1
couraeinr it. T/ink irnnru vnnr own ?
town and note the automobile* park- 1
ed from day to day alone the streets 1
and see how many of them are owned (
by your young business men who pos- 1
sibly do not lire two blocks from
their places of business and many of;
the clerks and wage earners who are
young and working on meager wage,
and see why they are there. Go ?o'
Columbia and look how the streets
are lined with cars owned hv the men
who lire but a few blocks from their
places of business, and inquire why
these cars are there. These people I
cannot walk any more to their work.|
It Is not the style. It is out of date
to walk.
And then the children can not
walk to school any more. Two miles,
why the idea of any child having to
walk two miles to school even on a \
fine road, it is preposterous. 1
And these cars parked along the
streets leave no room for the traffic,
and no place for the people who come
from the country to trade to park
their cars, and >*et " y?u should mention
it these town fellows would say
that they have as much right to th??
space as any one else, and we suppose
ifrom a legal point of view they have
hut we should sometimes consider
the rights of the other fellow and his
convenience, but that too is a lost art.
The auto intoxication is worse in
some respects than the liquor intox-j
ication, because it is so much more
general and so respectably indulged
in by both sexes and all age? and
conditions, whether financially able
to take of the draught or not.
If you should gently hint to a
young girl that it is not exactly t^e
right thing to be taking late night
rides with a young man and suggest
that it would not have been tolerated
in your day, 3he is highly insulted
and takes you for an old out of date.
The old editors of the Times and
The Herald may be out of date, but
the fact remains that they are speaking
the gospel truth, and there has
got to be a halt some where and .> me 1
time and that hnfr?r?? vorv loin
and we are now going at such a rapid
Bpeed that the stop may be so sudden
that if we are not in perdition
we will imagine we are when the
shook comes. Then the au t as ami th
auto rides have a tend en t .van
among our young folk to - grot and
too easy a familiarity, and you
may recall what the ol(i adage i ?
about familiarity. And nm- b
can take time to think what that
will lead to, and if you have n-t th
time we warn you to ta'te it be'ore it
is too late. We are jrst as young
