! ; "WW" 1A GREAT SPEECH Capt Fltztiugti Opens for State In Cooper Trial. HE SCORES COOPER And Sharp and Charges Them With Entering a Conspiracy ? The i Speech Was a Bitter Arraignment of the Defendants, Coupled With a Masterly Presentation of Argument j Nashville, March 8.?Tho greatest crush of people since the trial began were ih attendance this morning to hear the opening argument in the case of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, his son Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, whose trial on tho charge of murdering former Senator Edwin W. Carmack, has entered upon Its eighth and probably final week. Back of the tablo reserved for the prosecution's attorneys, who begin the argument of their case today, tho crush was unusually heavy. Large numbers of ladies were In the crowd, which bognn to gather as early as 6:30 o'clock, By 9 o'clock every bit of available space in the court room had been taken and many scores of people had been turned away. It was 9:20 o'clock when Capt. G. T. Fltzhugh, the eloquent Memphis attorney and long friend of Senator Carmack, opened the Stato'B argument to the jury. Tho court room at. this time was crowded to suffocation, every scat being taken and all the open places were filled with standing spectators. Captain Fltzhugh began by paying the customary tribute to the Jury, thanking them for their untiring pa mm tiiun uuimrin uuui u'n.v and attentiv moss. He then hiuded the citizenship of the dead man. He dwelt at length | nipon the distinguished wervlco to his country of thiH sou of Tennessee. Captain Fltzliugh then defined "malice" to the jury and said it could arise suddenly. In law and fact, or could be the result of brooding "as It has been In this case," he added. He told how the defendant. Colonel Cooper, had been hoard cursing and threatening Carniack and said that this showed tho colonel bore malice deep In his heart against Carniack. Captain Fltzhugh declared that Colonel Cooper did not kill Senatoi Carniack because of wounded repu tation, but '"he killed hiin bccaust of his fear of the truth and Ills love of vengeanca." The speaker a^ked how it was that tills man's name could not be mentioned, "this man who had shaped tho destinies of a State, this man who had made politicians, this man who had pulled the wires. John D Itockefellor, J. P. Morgan and E. H. Harriman are not office-holders, yet they are not going around killing men who dare to mention theii names in the paper. "This man who lias injured ali he has ever touched, this lobbyist this defaulter, this professional politician," exclaimed Captain Fltzhugh with Intense emphasis, "puts himscli on a pedestal so high that hiB nanu may not be mentioned even in u jocular manner." Capt. Fitzhugh took up the editor rial in order. The first was October 2 4. In this 0110 Colonel Cooper hud complained because his name had been linked with those of certain saloon men and gamblers." "Tho only difference," declared Captain Fitzhugh, "lay In tho fact that Colonel Cooper, a gambler all his life, had played for larger stakes and had never paid his debtH with his killing winnings. "Tho editorial of No. 3," said Captain Fitzhugh, ' did not even mention his name, yet "he took offense at it because the machine was attacked. His attitude, 'I am the machine; I am the Stite and when you Btrike tho machine you strike me.' "Where was the offense in that unless Colonel Cooper was looking for it with jaundiced and malicious eye?" Captain Fitzhugh then took up - the editorial of Sunday morning. November 9. "Across the Muddy Chasm," nnd dissected that for the Jury. "You gentlemen remember," said Captain Fitzhi gh. "that. I asked Colonel Cooper to take the editorial sentence by sentence and point out tl.o ? ~ -..i, ,m?i m mat wt ra offensive nnd that he refused to do so, saying It was offensive ns a whole. Yot that morning he wrote the threat, the note. And there Is some mystery about the notes. Where are the origm Inals? only copies here and a ropy of a copy; then he saw Ed. Craig that night and after he sent the message, 'you or I must die,' he hatched up a pretext to arm himself against Carmaek. Ho tells you. gentlemen of the jury, that Ed. Craig reported to him that Carmaek was in an ugly, vicious mood. "Ed. Craig says he hrought^no such information al>out Carmaek and could not have been true." TRAOADY IN CHESTER.

TOWN HIT HARD S'EARLY WIPED OUT BY TERRIBLE CYCLONE. ' The Business Section and One Hundred Dwellings Demolished at Cuthbert, G?.?Seven Lives Lost. Cuthbert, Ga., March 9.?A ter- , Mflc cyclone struck Cuthbert tonight at 8:30 o*clock, killing six negroes and one white man, demolishing the entire business section, razing one hundred or more residences and injuring many, entailing a loss which is estimated at $100,000. The town is in total darkness, owing to the damage to the electric light system and it is exceedingly difficult to estimate^ the loss of life with accuracy and the damage to the business and residential sections. The loss of life would have been much greater had it not been for the fact that several hundred of the citl -/.ens wtrB in atxenaance upon a revival meeting when the storm struck the place. Shortly after 8 o'clock a great black cloud appeared in the southwest and bore down upon the little city. Few people were on the streets and few were in the stores. With a great roarlnfc accompanied by vivid (lashes of lightning the cyclone struck the business blocks and wrecked every building. Merchandise, bricks and debris was scattered along the streets. It passed 011 the residential section, blowing down nearly one hundred houses, raising chimneys, fences, barns, nnd do'ng much damage otherwise. Few people were at home at the time when the storm struck! All of the wires of the Cuthbert lighting plant are down aud the city is in complete darkness, which makes | the situation very serious and hinders the work of rescue and attention to the injured. The telephone servico of the city is crippled by falling poles and broken wires. It is Impossible to learn the damage in the outlying district. Thirty loaded box cars 011 thp siding nt the depot worn blown off the track, and completely demolished. Cuthbert is a town of about 3.000 Inhabitants, situated in Randolph county, on th Central of Georgia railroad, about 200,miles southwest of Augusta, near the Alabama line. HIS MINI) WAS OFF.

Man Who Slew Two With One Riillet in Cnstitdy. New Orleans, March '8.?Jesse Clark, a negro, who with one bullet slew two men at Amesville, La., just across the river from New Orleans, two years ago, has been arrested at tannings, La. Clark's victims were a white man named Richardson, who was the object of the negroc's attack, and a negro youth who was standing near Richardson, and into whom the rif.e bullet went after passing through Richardson's body. Many a man has paid a lawyer (5 and $10 for poorer advice than his wife would willingly haMe given him for nothing. Three are reported to have boon killed at Brlnkley and dispatches at midnight on the only wire in operation between that place and Little Rock, a railroad wire, were to the effect that the town was in flames, and its complete destruction seemed inevitable. ttrinkley is a town of 3,000 persons and the junction point of several important railroad systems. A dispatch from Forest City says late advices from Hrinkley indicate that practically the entire town is now a mass of* ruins and that eight persons have ben killed and the injured will be numbered by scores. The fire at 2 o'clock this morning Is still burning and the reflection can be seen from here, a distance of twenty miles. Every physician of this place as well as many nurses were dispatched to Tlrinkley at midnight and other towns are rushing aid to the storm-swept town.

Another rejmrt is to the effect that the train was struck by lightning. Railroad offices in Little Hock have been endeavoring to locate the train for hours, but have been unable to do so. The tornado struck at Fourchdema at Ave o'clock this afternoon within five miles of Little Rock, killing a | negro boy and Injuring other negroes. Two houses were demolished by fire after it had been blown to hits. Several negroes are reported to be fatally hurt. The tornado crossed the Arkansas river at Fourchdema and raised a spout of water about 200 feet high. It traveled toward the northeast and swept a clean path about sixty yards wide. It was impossible to get any definite reports from that vicinity tonight. The tornado was followed by a violent hail and rain storm, which kept up throughout the night. The same tornado passed into Tlaucum, where the extent of the damage is also unknown and from there to Kerns, in Lonke county where several homo were demolished and E. fl. Adams, a farmer, was serously if not fatally injured. He, with his wife, son and three others were In the house at the time of the storm. They were lufrled in the debris, but all escaped alive. The home of Dan WTagner, a saw mill operator, near there, was also destroyed, but he and his wife escaped with a few bruises. A gin and severul negro cubins were demolished.

ELLIOT ON RACIAL ^ INTERMARRIAGES. fe Says That Different Races of People Have Never Profited by ] Doing So. Montgomery, Ala., March 8.? < 'There should be no admixture of 'acial stock," declared retiring Presilent Eliot, of Harvard University, tolight in an interview. "I believe, 'or example, that Irish should ntermarry with the Americans of English descent; that the Germans should not marry the Italians; that the Jews should not marry the French. Each race should maintain its own individuality. The experience of civilization shows that racial stocks are never mixed with profit, and that such unions do not bring forth the best and strongest children. There 1b no reason, however, why the races cannot live together, side by side, in perfect peace and amity. "In the case of the negroes and the whites, the races should be kept apart in every respect. The South has a wise policty. I believe that Booker T. Washington has the right ideals, and that Dubois is injuring the progress of his race with his views." President Eliot emphatically denies that he ever said that there was a suffrage problem in the North, owing to the predominance of Catholics. "In the North we are affiliated in our civic life by having masses of voters who know nothing of liberty. Take the Irish?they say themselves that at home they had no experience at. self-government. Our problem is to show the newer arrivals hat it is to their interest to have efficient government and not lavish expenditure." BRUK1IC8 TO HE REPLACED With Better <?? * Kv ?.? Co?Ht Li lie.

Florence, March 8.?News reached the city late today of a terrible affair, which resulted in the death of James Allison, a negro, at Allison's Postoffice, which resulted in Allison's death Saturday night. From what can be learned Allison was employed by Mmtsrs. A. Poston & Son as a fireman at their ginnery and saw mill plant. After eating his breakfast at the mill Friday morning he was taken suddenly ill and never regained consciousness, death resulting on Saturday. Dr. Eaddy, a physician in that section was called in and pronounced the case one of poisoning. The mac istrate In that township hold an Inquest and it was found that the negro had been poisoned by bolus Riven a dose of consentratod lye, which it is now thought was administered through the sugar that was used in sweetening his coffee.

Senator Tillman lias Had Five Colleagues in Fourteen Years. Charleston, March 8. ? The CharlesUw Post says in the senate the other day eulogies were pronounced on the late Senator A. C. Latimer, who died a year ago, after live years in service as a member of that body, having previously for ten years beo-n a member of the house of representatives. As the senior senator from the Stato represented by the departed senator, Mr. Tillman pronounced the flrst expression of Borrow at the death of his late colleague. He remarked an interesting record as follows: "It is a little more tliau fourteen years since 1 was scut by the people of South Carolina to bo one of their representatives in this chamber. Ab things now are that is about onethird of the average lifetime of a man, and while during the time there have transpired many events of national importance, it seems but a brief period after all. Yet during tills comparatively short span 1 have served here with live United States senators from* South Carolina, and after the fourth of March my sixth colleague will have taken the oath at the. desk. It is a Btrango coincidence that all of these men who have come and gone save ouo were younger in years than I. Three of them have answered the roll call on the other side t?f the river. .First in service, John Lowndes - Manning Irby, bright, brave, witty and genial; next tho knightly and courtly Joseph llaynesworth Marie, forceful, logical, chivalrous and in every way well equipped for work in the forum or 011 tho bench; last, Anbury Churchwell Latimer, who, while denied in youth those advantages of education possessed by tho other two, was in some respects the superior of either of them." Hy designating none but those of ?his colleagues who have passed from life, Senator Tillman avoided tho necessity of naming and of characterizing the one with whom his association was most strenuous, John Lowndes McLaurin. It would have been Interesting to have had his estimate of McLaurin pronounced in this calm mood and UDon this unUmn occasion. When Tillman took his seat In tho senate In 1895, succeeding M. C. Uutler, who had had three terms in the chamber, he found J. L. M. Irhy as his colleague in the representation of South Carolina In that body. A. little more than a year afterwards Joseph H. Earle was elected to succeed Irhy, who did not offer for reelection in the primary which nominated Judge Earle. In December, 1907, Senator Earle was sworn iu as a member of the chamber, and within three months he was dead. Governor Ellerbe, who also died In office before completing his second term as chief executive of the State, appointed John L. McLaurin to fill the vacancy, and the Democrats of South Carolina confirmed tho appointment by nominating McLaurin at the primary held in the summer of 1 898. At. the completion of this term, a service of five years, McLaurin retired from the senate, not offering for re-election, and has since boon a negligible and" almost, a forgotten figure in the political life of South Carolina. lie was succeeded by the late Senator Latimer, who, as we have noted, lived to serve but five years of tho full term to which he was elected. A year ago the general assembly elected Frank G. Gary to fill tho unexpired term, and ho is now completing that brief service, and will retire to private life at noon on the day nfter tomorrow. Tho general assembly which has hist elected E. D. Smith to Rucceed him, ratifying the nomination made in the Democratic primary last summer. As Senator Tillman says, Mr. Smith will bo his sixth colleague in the senate during a period of fourteen years. Not one of these has Berved a full term In company with Tillman, and the average length of their service as. his associates is hut a little more than two years. It is a striking record of mortality?physical and political?and is well calculated to give rise to mplancholy reflection in the mind of the survivor of so many and 8U~?. brief asociatlons in the constitutional representation of his State In the United States senate.
