NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 11.-That
the killing of ex-senator e. w. Car
mack, in street fight, by Robin j.

Cooper, father OF Robin Cooper, and
who was with his son when the duel
occurred. has an extensive acquain-

Carmack's effort for the Democratic
nomination for senator, in which he
was defeated by Senator Robert |.
Taylor, and his more recent race for
the governorship. in which he was de-
feated by Gov. Patterson, have served
to draw his following In the state
closer 10 him, and his tragic end has
spread distress and bitterness among
them.

1t Is feared by some that the end
of the trouble Is not yet, and 1t is
sure to play part in coming politl-
cal alignments. In each OF Carmack s
recent campaigns feeling ran to fever
heat and on both occasions Cooper
was with the opposition.
In former years the men were dear
friends, Carmack having declared In
public print that Cooper was his ben
efactor. But friendship had been re-
placed by enmity, which was more
noticeable since Carmack became ed
itor of the Tennesseean, following the
late primary. Then the editorial at
tacks began which eliminated in yes

Young Cooper. after having had his
wound dressed, spent a quiet night in

to pass on the constitutionality OF all
the antitrust statutes.
In this particular suit no more
than two clauses of the antitrust law
are involved, being the sections pro-
hibiting combinations intending 10
hinder competition in the purchase
and sale of commodities. The Etiga-
ton, however, has been made a sort
of clearing house for the fling OF
briefs by attorneys not directly en-
ployed in the case. and for this rea-
son the Encouragement thinks IL
would be for the best interests OF all
concerned to construe all of the pro-
visions relative to trSsts and com
bines.
