PATTERSON PARDONS
POLITICAL PAL.'
j ESSE': GOVERNOR DEFIES 1
h ' AND JUSTICE BY FREEING i
fc, ~CARMACK'S SLAYER. ,
J" ahville, Tenn, April 13.?A <
~sation equalling that which in- 1
lamed, in November, 1908, when '
former United States Senator Ed- 1
- i * 1 1
ward Ward Carmack was snot ana
? killed on a prominent street in '
Nashville, was created by the par- {
doning by Governor M R Patterson 1
today of Col Duncan B Cooper, who 1
with his son, Robin J Cooper, was 1
convicted of the murder of Carmack. 1
The issuance of the pardon on the (
Governor's own initiative, without (
a formal petition before him, fol- i
lowed quickly the reading of the
. opinion of the Tennessee supreme A
j court affirming the verdict of guilty 1
I in the case of Col Cooper, under
sentence of twenty years in the ]
penitentiary, and reversing the low- 1
er court in the case of Robin Cooper, 1
,,,oe cc.ntonroH t.n a like Deriod ^
Wliv noo os.uw4?vvv. ? r .
for the Carmack murder.
The news of the court's action and 1
that of the Governor in pardoning 1
Col Cooper spread quickly through the
city, causing intense excitement '
and heated discussion by numerous 1
groups of partisansGovernor
Patterson wrote the
full pardon for Col Cooper and filed
it with the Secretary of State,
while Chief Justice Beard was yet
reading a dissenting opinion in the
case of Col Cooper. In a statement ,
given to the press almost immediately,
the Governor said:
"In my opinion neither of the
defendants is guilty, and they have
not had a fair and impartial trial,
but were convicted contrary to the
law and the evidence."
As to the result politically in 1
Tennessee of the State supreme
court's decision in the Cooper case,
and the pardon of Col D B Cooper
^ by Governor Patterson, opinion
seems general that the old factional ^
lines?Patterson and anti-Patterson,
. * 1 !L! 1
HH ye latter representing tne proniDibition,
or State-wide element of the 2
State Democracy?are unchanged. t
In fact, they are more taut, if C
^y^rKat be possible. The Governor's
friends claim that his action has s
served to cement more closely than f
ever his following?that it has given 1
them a rallying cry to battle. On
the other hand, it has embittered to r
an even inten^r degree the hostility
to him on 4he part of his po- 1
litical enemies.
Carmack was the leader and idol
of the State-widers. His friends,
charging that his killing was the f
outcome of a political scheme,
made it the chief issue in a bitter *
war that has since been relentless- 1
ly waged against Patterson, and the *
Cooper case has colored the entire *
political atmosphere of Tennessee, j
t New Form of City (iovernmeni.
^ Hattiesburg. Miss, and Columbia,
B S C, are the rirst Southern cities east (
of Texos to try the commission form (
^ of gov >rnment. When the Galveston -\
flood, came several years ago the af- ,
> fairs of the city were taken out of (
the hands of the ward politicians ]
and party bosses?who had long con- ]
trolled there, as in most other Amer- \
ican cities?and the government was (
vested in a commission of able busi- {
ness men. The results in the way of \
economy, enterprise and efficient (
government were so satisfactory that j
the temporary plan was continued, ;
and the idea has spread from city to
city until it now bids fair to become
one of the most notable developments
of twentieth century politics
in America. We hope to see a great j
manv other cities adopt the idea,and i
we should like to have some plan c
worked out whereby the same prin- {
ciple .might be applied to county x
--government. Senaior Aldrich has A
st declared?and rightly.?that a | (

WARNING PUBLISHERS.
Surprising Facts about the Patent
Medicine Business.
"The Fourth Estate" has been
warning publishers about the risk in
allowing credit to new medicine concerns.
It is said that there have been
inly one or two of the thousands of
lew proprietary medicine houses
lave made any considerable money
that have started the past twenty
fears and only a very few more that
have met with even moderate success.
It is the geheral impression
that the business is immensely proftable,
while the facts are that there
s a larger percentage of failures
:han in any other line. The new
concerns usually start with lots of
confidence in the merits of their
?oods and advertising but soon exlaust
their capital, leaving dealers
vho have stocked their medicines
vith unsalable goods on their shelves.
It is the experience of many publishers
that have accepted this new busness
that they have been compelled
;o charge off their bills to profit and
oss.
There are many old and reliable
nedicine houses that continue to do
i good or increasing bnsiness from
,*ear to year, but the new ones are
inding it more and more difficult to
>ecome established. ? Des Moines

With a view to providing the
lousekeepers of the conntry with
practical suggestions along this line,
;he United States Department of
Agriculture has prepared a manual
4 economy in meat cooking that
:ontains much valuable information
vhich will be issued free. It is
mown as "Economic Use of Meats
n the home," and may be had by
iddressing a request to the Secreary
of Agriculture, Washington, D
/
The contents cover a variety of
lubjects, inclueing fifty recipes of
avory dishes, and much general
^formation, such as:

Mayor Gilland Appointed.

jiliand of Kingstree as a member

APPRECIATED PRAISE.
A Discriminating Reader ot The
Record Commends Our Efforts.
The editor of a weekly newspaper,
whom many seem to believe impervious
to verbal bouquets or brick
bats,is nevertheless humanly susceptible
to words of commendation
when he feels that he has done his best
and that the praise bestowed is disinterested
and without ulterior
motive. We have received a number
of flattering expressions commendatory
of the result of our
efforts to give the people of
Williamsburg a good county newspaper
and we appreciate none of
them more h-' 'Whanji^followingl^T

ar^Jld and valued rea. \ Rec<

My D?; r Sir:?You will please find
enclosed a one-dollar "William"
to shove up my subscription another
notch,as I notice that my time is up.
Although I moved out of the county
several years ago I still look eagerly
for the weekly visits of the old
"Record" and I congratulate you
on the paper that you are now giving
us for the money. I hardly see
how you can do it?you must have
solved the problem of high cost of
living in advance of some of the
rest of us.
I take several other county papers,
but the old "Record" is by far the
best, both editorially and mechanically,
that comes to my home.
Wishing both you and The Record
a long and useful career,
I remain, as ever,
Very truly yours,
Lake City, Rt 1. S W Y.
PS. I would have sent you a
check, but just happened to have
this old dollar bill and didn't know
but that in these strenuous times
you might like to smell the old

Points Regardin^Tbe Census.
The census begins April 15 and
must be completed in two weeks in
cities and in thirty days in all
other areas.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed "United States
Census, 1910."
The law requires every ad^lt
person to furnish the prescribed information,
but also provides that
it shall be treated confidentially, so
that no injury can come to any
person from answering- the questions.
The President has issued a proclamation,
calling on all citizens to
cooperate with the census and assuring
them that it has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury service,
compulsory school attendance,
regulation of immigration, or enforcement
of any law, and that no
one can be injured by answering
the inquires.
It is of the utmost importance
that the census of population and
agriculture in this State be complete
and correct.
Therefore, every person should
promptly, accurately, and completely
answer the census questions asked
by the enumerators.
