I I 'Ilinn'f n i W CWpPf IiML COOPER Aad Shut wnd CIuutm Thera With a Onanpiracy — The Speech Wm M, Bitter Arraignment TOWN HIT HARD NEARLY WIPED OUT BY TKB- i’ ^ ^ of the Defeadanta, Coupled With a Masterly Presentation of Argument WasheHle. If arch 8.—The greatest crush of people since the trial began Were W afthndhnce this morning to hear the opening argument in the Case of Obi. Duncan B. Cooper, his Son Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, whose trial on the charge of murder- T«d fhflhff 8«hhtor Edwin W. Car mack. has entered upon its eighth and probably final week. Back of the table reserved for the prosecu tion's attorneys, who l>egln the ar- gqment of tholr case today, the crush was unusually heavy. Large numbers oft.ladles were in *° the crowd, which began to gather as early aa 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. O. T. Fltshugh, the Vloquent Memphis attorney and long friend of Senator Carmack, opened the State’s argu ment to the jury. The court room it this time was crowded to suf focation, every seat, being taken and all the open places were filled with standing speetators. Captain Fltshugh began by paying the customary tribute to the jury, thanking them for their untiring pa tience and their uniform courtesy and attentiveness. He then lauded the citizenship of the dead man. He dwelt at length Sipon the distinguished service to his country of this son of Tennes see. Captain Fitzhugh then defined “malice” to the j' i v 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 Coorer, had bpfcn heard curs ing and threatening Carmack and said that this showed the colonel bore malice deep in his heart against Carmack. Captain Fitzhugh declared that Colonel Cooper did not kill Senator Carmack because of wounded repu tation, but “‘be killed him because of his fear 6t the truth and his love of vengeance." The speaker aaked how It was that this man's name could not be mentioned, “this man who had shap ed the destinies of a State, this man who had made politicians, this man who had pulled the wires. Johh D Rockefeller^ J. P. Morgan and E. H Harrlman are no^office-holders, yel they are not going around killing men who dare to mention theii names in the paper. “This man who has Injured all he has ever touched, this lobbyist this defaulter, this professional poll tician,” exclaimed Captain Fitzhugh with intense emphasis, “puts hlmsel! on a pedestal so high that his name niay not be mentioned even in a jocular manner.” Capt. Fitzhugh took up the editor rial in order. The first was October 2 4. in this one Colonel Cooper had complained because his name had been linked with Mjpse of Jbertain saloon men and gamb “The only difference," declared Captain Fitzhugh, “lay in the fact that Colonel Cooper, a gambler all his life, had played for larger stakes and had never paid his debts with Ida killing winnings. “The editorial of No. 3," said Captain Fitzhugh. “did not even men tion his name, yet lie took offense at it because the nmehlne was at tacked. His attitude, ‘1 am the ma chine; I am the State and when you ■trtlre the machine you strike me.’ “Where was the offense in that un- leas 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." and dissected that for the Jury. ^Tou gentlemen remember,’’ said Captain Fitzhugh, “that 1 asked Colonel Cooper to take the editorial sentence by sentence and point out the parts that were offensive and that he refused to do so, saying it was offensive as a whole. Yet that morning he wrote the threat, the . note. And there is some mystery about the notes. Where are the orig inals? only copies here and a copy of a «£>py; then he saw Ed. Craig that night and after he sent the message, ‘you or 1 must die,’ he hatched up a pretext to arm himself •gainst Carmack. He tells you. gentlemen of the Jury, thit Ed. Craig reported to him that Carmack was In in ugly, vicious mood. “Ed. Craig says he brought no JWgytlformittQR about Carmack add coaid not have been true." MANY KILLED AMJtay (ton lujorwl by Cy clone In Arkamu The Dastaras Section and One Hun dred Dwellings Demolished at Cuthbert, G*.—Seven lives Lost. Cuthbert, Oa., March 9.—A ter rific cyclone struck Cuthbert tonight st 8:30 o’clock, killing six negroes and one white man, demolishing ike entire busfrteka kectloh, razing one hundred pr more residences and in juring many, entailing a loss which is estimated at 3100,000. The town-Hr tn total darkneesy Ow-* ing to the damage to the electric light jsyatem and It Is exceedingly difficult to .estimate the loss of life with accuracy and the damage to the business and residential sections. Th^loss of life would have been much greater had it not been for the fact that several hundred of the citi zens wore in attendance upon a re vival meeting when the storm struck the place. Shortly after 8 o’clock a surest black cloud appeared in the south west and bore down upon the little city. Few people were on the streets and few were in the stores. With a great roaring accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning the cyclone struck the business blocks and wrecked every building. Merchan dise, bricks and debris was scattered along the streets. It passed on the residential sec tion, blowing down nearly one hun dred houses, raising chimneys, fenc es, barns, and doing 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 and the elty Is in complete darkness, which makes the situation very serious and hinders the work of rescue and attention to the injured. The telephone service of the city is crippled by falling poles and brok- en wires. It is Impossible to learn the damage in the outlying district. Thirty loaded box cars on the sid ing at the depot were 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 rail- mad, about 200 miles southwest of August*, new the Alabama line. HIS MIND WAS OFF.

The Town of Brinkley Almost Wip ed (*ff the M»p—^Fourteen White -- and Sixteen Colored People Known to few Dead-Many Killed at Oth er Places. A ' ... '7~> X Uttie Rock, Ark., March S.-—Many persons are reported dead, and a number Injured as the result of a violent storm which swept through western; eastern and southern Ar kansas late this afternoon and to night. Three are reported to have been killed at Brinkley and dispatches at midnight on the only wire in opera tion between that place and Little Rock, a railroad wire, were to the ef fect that the town was lu flames, and Its complete destruction seemed in evitable. ' Brinkley is a town of 3.000 per sons and tho Junction point of sev eral Important railroad systems. A dispatch from Forest City says late advices from Brinkley indicate that practically the entire town Is now a mass of ruins and that eight persons have ben kilied and the in jured will be numbered by scores. The Are at 2 o’clock this morning is still burning and the reflection can be seen from here, a distance of twenty mtles. Every physician of this place as well as many aurses were dispatched to Brinkley at mid- nlghT and btTier towns are rushing aid to the storm-swept town. A Cotton Tlelt passenger train due In Little Rock at 6:30 o’clock to night Is lost In the vicinity of Bnu- cum, where a torsado struck, and Is reported to have been swept off the track. Another re|>ort is to the effect that the train was struck by lightning. Railroad offices in Little Rock have been endeavoring to lo cate the train for hours, but have been unable to do so. The tornado struck at Fourehdema at five o'clock this afternoon within five miles of Little Rock, killing a negro boy and injuring other ne groes. Two houses were demolished by fire after it had been blown to bits. Several negroes are reported to be fatally hurt. The tornado crossed the Arkansas river at Fourehdema 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 Bau- cum, where the extent of the dam age Is also unknown and from there to Kerns, in Lonke county where sev eral liome were demolished and E B. 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 hurled 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 es caped with a few bruises. A gin and several negro cabins were de molished. - All the windows of a train between Gurdon and Rester were blown out. At Malvern the Methodist church was entirely destroyed at a loss of $6,000. The Baptist church - was damaged, portion of the court house was unroofed and other extensive damage was done. No loss of life was reported, althdugh the extent of the damage in the surrounding coun try was not known. HIGH DEATH RATE S«itat8rs From South Carolina He Bays That People Have Doing So. Montgomery, Ala., March 8.— “There should be no admixture of racial stock,” declared retiring Presi- deat BHot, of Harvard Ufilvefilty, to night in an Interview. “I believe, for example, that Irish should not Intermarry with the Americans of English descent; that the Germans should hoi marry the Italians; that the Jews should not marry the French. Each race should maintain its own Individuality. The experience of civ ilization shows that racial stocks are never - mixed with profit, and that such unions do not bring forth the beat and strongest children. There is no reason, however, why the races cannot live together, side by side, in perfect peace and amity. “In the ca#e of the negroes and the whites, the races should be kept apart ia every respect. The Soath has a wise policty. 1 l>elieve that Booker T. Washington has the right Ideals, and that Dubois is injuring the progress of his race with his views.” President Eliot emphatically de nies that he ever said that there was a suffrage problem in the North, owing to the predominance of Cath^ olics. “In the North we are affiliated in our civic life by ^having masses of voters who know nothing of liber ty. Take the Irish—they say them selves that at home they had no experience at self-government. Our problem is to show the newer arrivals that it is to their interest to have efficient government and not lavish expenditure.". THE SENIOR SENATOR BRIDGES TO HE REPLACED With Better Ones by the Atlantic Coast Line. Wilmington, N. C., March 9.—It is announced from the executive offices of the Atlantic Coast Line here that from the proceeds of the recent sale of the road’s consolidated 4 per cent bonds in New York the company has provided, in addition to the cancel lation of its short term, that the per cent notes due March 1, 1910, and all the cash necessary to retire on June 1, 1910, one million six hundred thousand underlying 6 per cent bonds, the funds required for replacing five and one-quarter miles of wooden trestle with concrete piers and steel girders across the Pee-Dee river, near Florence, S.

By the negotiations for ti>e sale of the bonds interest charg es will be reduced $119,000 per an num. MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH. OVER THIRTY DEAD. Property Worth One Million Dollars Destroyed. Brinkley, Ark., March 9.—Thirty ore more lives were snuffed out, sixty people were Injured and prop erty estimated to be worth one mil lion dollars wns destroyed as a re sult of the tornado which wreck'd this little city last night. Fourteen whites and sixteen colored persons are known to have been killed. Every business house Is In ruins, and there is hardly a home that has not at least suffered the loss of a roof or king. Hundreds of people are homeless and are wandering about seeking a temporary abode. Negro Gin Hand Given Lye in His Coffee. Florence, March 8.—‘News reach ed 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 Mrasrs. 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 result ing on Saturday. Dr. Eaddy, a physician in that sec tion was called in and pronounced the case one of poisoning. The mag istrate in that township held an in quest and it was found that the ne urn had been poisoned by being giv en a dose of consentrated lye, which it Is now thought was administered through the sngar that was used in sweetening his coffee.

Prosperity, March 8.—A negro claiming to be from Washington, D. C., has been in this community for the past ten days organizing a new ''skin game.” He said he had au thority from President Roosevelt to organize the negroes into lodges, and .when they paid ten dollars they could get anything they wanted, and ♦ heir membership was a guarantiee that they would get It. He got too familiar wl'h one of the sisters and she resented it. This led to trouble with the husband and the usual fight ensued, and the result was the Rooseveltian agent was tied hog fashion and brought to Judge Kibler’s office.

Calls Attention to the Matter in Eulogizing Sensitor Larimer Re cently in the Senate Chamber. Senator Tillman bae Had Five % ■ Colleagues in Fourteen Years. Charleston. f March .8. — Thd Charleston Post says In the senate the other day eulogies wore pro nounced on the late Senator A. C. Latimer, who died a year ago, after five years in service as a member of that body, having previously for ten years been a member of the house of representatives. As the senior sena tor from the State represented by the departed senator, Mr. Tillman pro nounced the first expression of sor row at the death of his late colleague. He remarked an interesting record as follows: “It is a little more than fourteen years since 1 was sent by the people of South Carolina to be one of their representatives In this chamber. As things now are that is about one- third of the average lifetime of man, and while during the time there h&ve transpired many events of nat ional importance, it seems but a brief period after all. Yet during this comparatively short span 1 have served here with five United States senators from South Carolina, and after the fbprth of March n^ sixth colleague will have taken the oath at the desk. Ij. is a strange coinci dence that all ofNthese men who have come and gone saVe one were young er In years than I. Three of them have answered the foil call on the other side of the river. First in service, John Lowndes Manning Irby, bright, brave, witty and genial; next the knightly and courtly Jo seph Haynesworth Earle, forceful, logical, chivalrous and in evei*y way well equipped for work In the forum or pn the bench; last, Asbi(ry Churchwell Latimer, who, while de nied In youth those advantages of education possessed by the other two, was in some respects the superior of either of them.” By designating none but those of his colleagues who have passed from life, Senator Tillman avoided. the necessity of naming and of charac terizing the one with whom his as sociation was moat strenuous, John Lowndes McLaurin. It would have been interesting to have had his es timate of McLaurin pronounced in this calm mood and upon this solemn occasion. When Tillman took his seat in the senate in 1895, suececding M. €. Butler, who had had three terms in the chamber, he found J. L. M. Irby as his colleague in the represen tation of South Carolina in that body. A little more than a year afterwards Joseph H. Earle was elected to suc ceed Irby, who did not offer for re- election in the primary which nomi nated Judge Earle. In December, 1907, Senator Earle was sworn in as a member of the chamber, and within three months he was dead. Governor Ellerbe, who also died in office before completing his sec ond term as chief executive of the State, appointed John L. McLaurin to fill the vacancy, and the Demo crats of South Carolina confirmed the appointment by nominating Mc Laurin 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 been a negligible and almost a forgotten figure in the political life of South Carolina. He was succeeded by the late Sen ator Latimer, who, as we have not ed, lived to serve but five years of the full term to which he waa elect ed. A year ago the genera! assembly elected Frank G. Gary to fill the un expired term, and he is now com pleting that brief service, and will retire to private life at noon on the day after tomorrow. The general assembly which has just adjourned elected E. D. Smith to succeed him, ratifying the nomination made in the Democratic primary last summer. As Senator Tillman says, Mr. Smith will he his sixth colleague in the sen ate during a period of fourteen years. Not one of these has served a full term in company with Tillman, and the average length of their service as his associates is but a little more than two years. It Is a striking rec ord of mortality—physical and po litical—and is well caicniated to give rise to melancholy reflection in the mind of the survivor of so many and such brief asociations in the consti tutional representation of his State in the United States senate.
