 terson Issues Statement on Case.
 Columbia, Tenn, Nov. 1.-The body of ex-United States Senator Edward w. Carmack, who was slain yesterday at Nashville in duel with Robin Cooper, was buried in great haste to- day.
 Excitement here and in Nashville in- creased every hour after the shooting, and 1t was feared that in feud aris- ing out of the tragedy more lives would be sacrificed.
 Mrs. Carmack, the widow, declares that her husbands death was cold blooded murder, and she demands vengeance on Robin Cooper and the latter's father, Colonel Duncan Cooper, who are under arrest.
 When the body arrived at the Car. mack home here large delegation met the special train. Mrs. Carmacls came with the body, and she directed that the obsequies be simple. Only pallbearers and intimate friends were admitted to the house.
 At the railroad station a delegation of women from the w. c. T. U. drew up in two lines marked by futtering white ribbons. The pallbearers and the coffin passed slowly between the lines while women sang Lead, Kindly ! Light" In the waiting room later the delegation was addressed by the Rev. Mir, Landith, leader in the prohibl- tion movement and an ardent support CT of the dead statesman.
 Conflicting stories of the tragedy are told by eyewitnesses or persons who were in touch with events immediately preceding the shooting.
 Governor Patterson illuminated the situation in an interview in which he said: ...~.
 'T saw both young Cooper and his father in the morning. and nothing oc. cured to cause me to suppose any all tercation would take place with Sena- tor Carmack or any one else.
 Robin Cooper left the Maxwell House with me in the morning and promised to stay with his father, who seemed to be excited, and prevent any possible trouble. thought the whole matter was ended until my return from the capitol in the evening, when I was shocked to learn of what had occurred" Robin Cooper remains in the hospi tai, where he is recovering rapidly from the slight wound in his shoulder Colonel Cooper was arraigned in cour, and waived examination.

MORSE TO STAY

Circuit Court of Appeals
 Refuses Him Bail.

 When Bill of Exceptions h Filed
 Next Month.
 New York, Nov. II. = Charles ". Morse will have to remain in the Tombs, his application to be admitted to bail pending the outcome of his ap- peal having been denied0by the Unit cd States circuit court of appeals.
 The three judges who heard the ap- plication decided that as Judge Hough, who sentenced Morse to imprisonment for fifteen years, had refused to permit him to go free under bond until the papers in his appeal were filed, the higher court would not go over Judge Hough's head.
 The decision of the court means that until the circuit court of appeals sees the bill of exceptions and decides whether Morse has probable grounds for an appeal it will not consider the question of bail. When Morse's bill of exceptions to his conviction is filed his lawyers may renew the application for bail.
 If the reasons for setting aside the conviction offered by Morse do not appeal to the court as reasonable he will have to remain in the Tombs until the circuit court of appeals passes finally on the case. If the appeal is decided against him Morse will be talk en straight to the federal prison in At. lanta.
 Judges Lacombe, Coxe and Ward, who heard the application of the bank CT to be admitted to ball, filed the fol. lowing memorandum with the clerk of the court:
 The trial judge having heard the application to admit to ball and hay. ing denied 1t, we are not prepared or the papers now before us to make any different disposition of the same. The motion is denied without prejudice tc its renewal after the bill of exceptions Is fled"
 Morse's wife and his son Harry vis ited him in the Tombs. Morse took the announcement that he would not be admitted to bail philosophically and made no comment as to the courts action.

Handsomely Expressed.

Shelby Star,
1t has been the pleasure of the Star
to reproduce from time to time ex-
pressions from various of the breth-
rem with reference to the magnificent
record of Senator Overman since he
donned the Senatorial toga.
Nothing clearer, truer or finer has
been written than the following from
Editor Jno. B. Sheriff., of the Con-
cord Times:
''It is probably trite to say that
Hon. Lee s. Overman has made an
ideal Senator, but it is true, never
theless. Popular when he was elect
ed, and possessing the respect and
admiration of the people OF the State,
he has grown immensely during the
years he has served the people as
their Senator in the national con-
gress. He has attended closely to
his duties and has watched every in
terest of his people. Nothing has es-
capped him, and he has been able to
accomplish more than can usually be
accomplished by a Senator during
his first term.
Senator Overman will be chosen
to succeed himself. 1t is folly for any
man in the State to undertake to de-
feat him for reelection. He is enti-
tied to it not only by common Gus
tom to give an official the endorse
ment of a second term, but he is
more entitled to it by the superb rec
ord he has made, and the assiduOus
devotion to duty he has shown

Kitchin, Superintendent Newell, of
the reclamation service of the Agri-

to have made survey of the Roam

the counties of Northampton, BERTHE,

this survey is to ascertain the best

prevent overfows by freshets, which
do immense damage almost every
year to growing crops. The bottom
lands along the Roanoke are the
richest in the State and if properly
dyked would become very valuabl
The State owns some 5000 acres of
these lands, which are cultivated by
prison convicts. The suggestion has
been made that both the State and
Federal governments could be in
duced to cooperate with the proper
ty-owners in building adequate dykes
to protect the farm lands from the
recurring freshets. The old dykes
were washed away when the late A..
Leazer was superintendent of the
penitentiary and have not since been
replaced. The Roanoke is very tur-
