Carmack Game of Chester
Stock.

Chester special in the News
and Courier: The killing of Ex-
Senator Edward w. Carmack on
the streets of Nashville, Tenn. y,
on Monday afternoon will cause
particular regret in Chester
County, for the brilliant Tenn
essean was descended from Ches
ter County stock and his splen
did career had been watched with
great interest here. Just when
his ancestors migrated to Tenn
essee it has been impossible to
ascertain, but it is well known
that Senator Carmack was
linealRdescendant, a great grand
son or a MISREPRESENTATION of
Capt. William Anderson, a Rev
olutionary hero, who lived on the
banks of Fishing Greek in this
county and who fell victim 10
a party of Tories who waylaid
and murdered him while on a
short visit to his family. Capt.
Anderson, who was also the fore
father of the Andersons, Steven
sons, McDonalds, and Others
in this county, left three child
rem, and it was from one of these
that Senator Carmack sprang.
Capt. Anderson was a Ooven-
anter, and some of his children
were probably among the vast
number of that persuasion who
left this county during the first
and second quarters of the last
century and sought more congen-
ial atmosphere in the central
West.

An Ex-Sheriff Included in
Indictment Against Slayers
of Carniack.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. IA
AT 2 :15 O'Clock this afternoon
the grand jury of Davidson coun
ty returned true bill in which
Col. Duncan b. Cooper, his son
Robin j. Cooper and ex-Sheriff
John ID. Sharpe are jointly charg
ed with the murder of ex-Sena-
tor K. w. Carmack and in which
Sharpe is also indicted on the
charge of being an accessory be.
fore the fact. The names of six
witnesses appear on the back of
the indictment as follows: Mrs.
Coby d. Carmack, Mrs. Charles
Eastman, Carey Folk, DR.. James
Wittenberg, Mrs. Martha Nor
gan and Miss Mary Skeffington.
The Mrs. Carmack in the list
is the widow of the former sena
tor. Mrs. Eastman it was to
whom Mr.. Carmack had spoken
just before the shooting began.
Carey Folk is deputy insurance
commissioners and passed along
the street near the time of the
killing. Mrs. Morgan lives dia-
gonally across from the scene of
the killing. DR.. Wittenberg runs
an optical establishment in the
west end of the Arcade through
which the Coopers accompanied
by Sharpe are allies ed to have
passed shortly before the tragedy
occurred. Miss Mary Skeffing-
ton is State librarian.
There are two counts in the
Indictment, the first charging
the three men jointly with the
murder and the second one
charging John ID. Sharpe with
being an accessory before the
fact.
The name of S. Carmack,
brother of the slain man, appears
on the Indictment as prosecutor.
Robin j. Cooper will in all
probability be able to be moved
in several days to the county
Jail.
The Memphis conference of
the Methodist church, South, in
session at Covington, Tenn, to-
day adopted resolutions declar.
ing that Carmack died martyr
to his convictions of duty and TO
the cause of temperance and of
righteousness.

Important Address to r.
b. D. Carriers by State
President Peterson.

President Peterson.
To the Rural Carriers OF South
Carolina.
The greatest power in The world
today is organized power. SIN
glehanded individuals can do liz
tie or nothing; but when united
they can accomplish wonders.
Every carrier appreciates this
fact to the fullest; therefore |
shall not dwell upon it, only to
the extent of reminding you that,
in unity tnere is strength.
Let US arouse ourselves and
organize. Our State organiza-
tion can be useful in many ways:
1st. By working together, with
the prestige of the State asso-
citation behind each of US, we
will finally succeed in creating
sentiment for better roads-and
who should be more interested
in good roads than the rural car
rier? This thing can not be
done in day; we must keep
everlastingly at it as the days
and months go by and the vic
tory will surely be won.
2nd. The salary question is
another incentive for organiza-
ton. By cooperating with the
other State associations through
out the United States we shall be
the better able TO communicate
our wants and needs to the post
office department and thus indi
rectly to congress.
3rd There is a social and ira.
ternal feature of inestimable
value in getting together in coun-
ty and State meetings. True,
all of us can not be delegates TO
the State conventions, but if we
organize we can send good men
to the State convention who may
be able to bring the next con
vention to our very doors-frst
in one part of the State and then
in another.
There are a great many other
reasons for organizing which
shall not mention for lack of
space.
If this call should meet the
eye Of a carrier in an unorgan-
lied county, he should lose no
time in making of himself pio-
neer in this cause by getting busy
Let him drop postal card to
every carrier in his county (the
State association will pay for the
cards) and urge them to meet
him at some central locality, on
Thanksgiving day, or New Years
day (not later than this) and or
ganize. If you will secure half
dozen or mere to meet you, l will
come or send some one of the
State officers to help you organ
ize.
In closing, let me impress
upon you the supreme impor-
tance of organizing. They are
organizing very rapidly in North
and West and in our neighbcr-
ing states. Lat Us not lag be-
hind. If organization is a good
thing for them, it must be good
for us also,
Yours fraternally,
w. @ Peterson,
