terly contested Democratic
mary for the gubernatorial non
ination in Tennessee, Hon. Ed
ward Ward Carmack, forP
United States senator from J
nessee, was shot and killed (.
street duel here this afternoon
by Robin Cooper, n young at
torney. Young Cooper was
wounded in the shoulder by a
bullet from Carmack's re Jolver
and is tonight under police sur
veillance in a local hospital. His
condition is not serious.
Carmack was wounded three
times, in the neck, the breast
and the left sh oulder. Col.
Duncan B. Cooper, father of the
younger man, was with his son
during the affray, but did not
fire a shot. It is said he stood
by with pistol in hand. He is
detained tonight at police head
quarters.
The direct cause of the killing
| is a recent series of editorials
in The Tennessean, a daily pa
per of which MIR Carmack be-
came editor after his defeat for
the nomination for governor.
The editorials in question had
been vigorous in their comment
on Col Cooper and his alleged
connection with what MIR Car
mack termed the "Democratic
machine" and its methods. Col
Cooper, who is we'll known in
business, newspaper and politi-
cal circles in Tennessee, it is
said, had notified Mr. Carmack
that the references to him must
cease. Another such editorial
appeared this morning.
Both the Coopers, father and
son, also Ex.Sherif John D
Sharpe, have been indicted for
killing E w Carmack.. Young
Robin Cooper, who actually fred
the fatal shot,is recovering from
his wound and, in all probabili-
ty, will soon be able to be re-
moved to Jail.
Senator Carmack's remains
were inferred at his old home,
Columbia, Tenn, where thou
sands of his friends and admir-
ers gathered to pay tribute to
the dead editor and statesman,
whose shocking death filled them
with grief and CONSERVATION.
The ARTICLE THAT CAUSED THE
KILLING.
The following is the article for
which Editor Carmack, of the
Tennesseean, was assassinated
by the man referred to in it and
his son, who seem to have way
laid him:

cHicoRY FIRST USED BY DUTCH.
Mar Blockade Responsible for Discov.
cry of Good Qualities of the Root.

Although chicory was probably known
and used by the ancient Romans as pot
herb, It, remained for the Hollanders
about 200 years ago TO discover that the
roots Of the chicory plant dried, ground
and roasted produced a drink like coffee,
both palatable and healthful.
During the Napolconic wars strict
blockade of the continent of Europe was
maintained and all importations of coffee
tea and cocoa ceased. This forced the
people to turn to chicory as a beverage
and it soon came into general use.
So good was it's taste, so rich was its
aroma that the new beverage at once be-
Dutch housewives who are known the
world over for their ability as cooks.
After the. war when ample supply, of
coffee could be secured; the Hollanders
were loath to give up their chicorY. AZ
a result they blended coffee and chicory
and produced the good old Dutch coffee
now served in nearly all hotels, restau-
rants and homes in Europe.
Not only did this blend produce that
rich aroma and flavor, but it was found
that chicory ceunteracted the bad effects
nary coffee injurious drank the combina-
ton and it proved both refreshing and
heaithful.
Thus it is seen that chicory has been
used for centuries in Europe, where it is
regarded as a necessary addition 10 cct-
fee.
Americans began using chicory as soon
as they realized it was put on the mar
ket to improve the quality of coffee and
not in any spirit of dishonesty. Fortu--
nately the new United States pure food
law requires all makers to state on their
packages what the contents are and this
protects the buyer from all substitutes
for pure coffee and pure chicory and in
sures grade equal to that from which
the old-fashioned Dutch beverage is made.
Through our foreign born citizens SO
consistently demanding it. the merits of
chicory have become known by word of
mouth until those who have heretofore
been disappOinted in securing the rich,
full coffee flavor in their morning bever-
age have found that by buying coffee
mixed with chicory, they secure the exact
combination they have been seeking.
