Following the successful campaign for accident compensation which now has captured the principal states, a committee of the nation's experts who have been working quietly on plans for a year and a half, declares that sickness insurance must be establish' ed with emphasis on medical care in . order that it- shall lead to a campaign of health conservation similar to thf ? "safety first" movement resulting s from accident compensation. The j committee includes such leading authorities as Henry R. Seager, Mile? M. Dawson, Edward T. Devine an< e Dr. I. M. Rubinow ot New York, Cha? ' R. Henderson of Chicago University IT - nenry J. Harris of the Library ol Congress, and Carroll W. Doten ol Boston, and has the cooperation of ex.p pert legislative draftsmen and leading representatives of workmen an< employers. The Association for La^ bor Legislation called the first American conferences on Occupational Diseases in 1910 and on Social Insuran3 ce in 1913, and announces it is now j drafting bills for a vigorous legislative campaign to iniate the movement for sickness insurance in the Uniteu States. EDWARD TART DIED1 I FROM PISTOL WOUND I RECEIVED ON SATURDAY NIGHT I SEPTEMBER 19th AT AYNOR. I I / H CORONER HOLDS INQUEST I r &<*** ?w. . .#V > ** P His Death Contrary to Hdp? of Re- I covery at First,?Parties Atcnaed I ? Arrested After T]hey Made Bofid on I First Charge. ' ? Edward M. Tart, who w&b shot at I Aynor in this County about 8 o'clock* I on Saturday night, September 19th, B contrary to the expectations held out I at first by his physicians, died on Wed I nesday of last week from the effects fl of the wound in the head. Hub John- B son, the Town Marshall of Aynor, and B Pearson F. Speers, the latter it was B said having been pressed in to assist g the Marshall, were both placed in Jail B on Sunday following the killing and H on the same day made bail in the sum I of $1,000.00 each, the charge against?' them at that time being assault and | battery with intent to kill. Later, on I"' Tuesday of last week, when hope of? Tart's living was given up, they werejp re-arrested by D. C. Johnson, Deputy ? Sheriff, and placed again in jail. Sometime during the night of the day Ifj on which Tart died, Coroner V. D.'| j Johnson was notified to hold a nin-? : quest and the Coroner went, withiB Sheriff J. A. Lewis, to Aynor last g Thursday morning where the inquest J: was held, the Jury returning a ver-'g diet that Edward rM. Tart came to hisjg death from a pistol shot at the hands I ; of Pearson F. Speers, Hub Johnson | j being an accessory thereto. j-i< On the night proceeding the holding |u of the inquest, Coy McKenzie had g been arrested and placed in jail, it is jl supposed as an accessory, but when L the Coroner's Jurv failed to irrmlirate McKenzie in the killing, it is stated [i I that he was released by the Sheriff.! IN The inquest was held by the Coro- I' ner in the open lot near the store of IJ ' J. T. Shelly, in the presence of a large | i crowd of people who gathered to hear |* the proceedings; most of those there ?i seemed to be shocked by the terrible g : occurrence. No expressions were R heard by any of these people either I j for or against the parties charged B with the crime. There seemed to be R some impression among the people H I that Edward Tart had probably used | profane language while on the streets ~ i that day and that there had been some of previous ill feeling between Johnson in] or Speers and the deceased, and it m; was known that the only ground upon ab which the Town Marshal had to put wi Tart under arrest was a mere charge ws of disorderly conduct. It also appears fir that. Tart in company with his brother Ti and his father had started for home ha and were on their way out of town th when they were halted by the Marshall by the side of the road. The story of the sad affair may be found in the following report of the ac witnesses sworn by the Coroner and me substance ot what they said: ^ J. R. Crawford, sworn, said: pC Heard the report of the pistol and ol, wqnt: down there, went'from Powell's ^ store to place where it occurred. w. Found Hub Johnson standing in the sj, road, Ed Tart lying in the edge of the Uj road, Coy McICenzie and Pearson yy Speers were on the other side kicking ' in saw dust, hunting a pistol they said. Hub Johnson said to me Ed (j. ! Tart was shot down, that Pearson jp Speers was the man who did it. Pear- e( son asked if I had any matches. I handed him some matches and struck one myself and looked at him. There were no cuts on his shirt. No sign of ^ Pearson Speers' clothes. They were r not torn. Pearson did not deny it ('( when Hub Johnson said he did the ^ shooting. Saw Speers live minutes ^ later at diirerent place. He walked M up to me and said: "Ain't I in a " fix?" His shirt was cut, his necktie cut in two and left suspender was cut in two. None of these was done when ^ I saw him first at place where Tart was shot. C( ,1 Preston Tart sworn said: *^( I ?t Am first cousin of Ed Tart. Shoot- ' Of r ing occurred on September 19th, about "r > 8 o'clock at Aynor. I was ten or fif- ^ . teen feet away and heard pistol fire. ^ ; I was standing near Powell's store n< 1 with Coy McKenzie and another man. ? Lonnic Roberts came up and said ( that Hub Johnson said for Coy Mc- A f Kenzie to go down there. Coy broke ^ f and ran in that direction. Me and the . other man walked on down there. . When in ten or fifteen feet of place I M I saw flash of pistol. Hub Johnson had ei . hold of Ed Tart's hand.

After getting into >use found that left side of the head as splintered or crused about the ze of a silver dollar. Ball ranged >ward, backward and to the left, ound caused his death on Scptem:r 23rd.
