than accidental. lie declared that
Col. Cooper had right to cross the
street and address Carmack.
1.-THE Interpretation you put upon
Col. Cooper's action depends upon his
character and his purpose in going
over there, not upon the fact that he
did 60 over there. If Robin Cooper
had gone over there and struck Sena-
tor Carmack with his fist, and if after
being struck Senator Carmack had
drawn revolver, Robin Cooper would
have had legal and moral right to
kill Carmack. That, gentlemen, is the
law Of this State"
Judge Anderson then devoted near
! ly an hour to quoting decisions, read
ing in many instances the entire case
reported.
"When man has abused you and
you 60 to him and demand that ne
stop it, and you fear you may offend
him and that he may assault you, -
declared Anderson, "you have right
to put pistol in your pocket. If you
have this right and the law says you
have, then you have right to defend
yourself, if in the exercise Of that
right, your opponent assaults you. {"
Turns Attention. to Mrs. Eastman.
Judge Anderson then turned his at
tention to Mrs. Eastman's testimony.
He said Mrs. Eastman 5 memory and
her condition mentally when she wit
messed the shooting were responsible
for the inaccuracies in her testimony.
"Nfrs. Eastman is beautiful, an
exquisitely beautiful and surpassing-
ly charming woman," said Judge An
derson. "I yield to no one in my'ad-
miration for her. But she is deli
cate, nervous, excitable woman. Let
us see some things Mrs. Eastman did
not see. She did not see Robin at all
until it was nearly over. She did not
see Col Cooper S revolver, yet he says
himself he had it drawn. She says
Carmack reeled. staggered out into
the street and fell. It could not have
happened, gentlemen. If he had reel
ed and staggered out into the street
he would have fallen that way; his
head, not to the north, as he was
found. but with his head to the east.
She says she did not see Senator Car
mack fire, yet we know that he did.
And I still believe that Mrs. Eastman
believes every word she told you was
statement of what she saw. She
thinks she saw it, but she was excited
and frightened and nervous.
Judge Anderson then analyzed Rob-
ms story and declared every word of
it was reasonable. He contended that
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-03-16

The wound through Carmack's neck
was the last shot fired and that it was
fired as Carmack fell.
"But Fitzhugh would have you be-
lieve that it was inflicted first. How
ever, th> surgeons tell YOU that the
instant it was inflicted there would be
instant paralysis and that Carmack's S
gun and cigar would have dropped at
his feet and not been found at his
hand"
When Judge Anderson rested the
court thanked the spectators again
for their good behavior.

Are Women vsinT

Why are women vaing Nobody
knows-not even the ladies' them
selves. Psychologists have advanced
various theories. One says that they
dress to please men. another declares
that they adorn their persons to
arouse the envy Of other women, and
still another that they wear pretty
clothes out Of sheer standardization
Their slavery to the rouge pot. the
eyebrow pencil. the hair dye and store
puts is explained in the same fashion.
The fact remains that II they 20
dress for each other they prove at the
same time immensely attractive to
mere man.
Beauty and vanity. however, are
matters only OF location. and the
woman with the most thoroughly up-
to-date hipless effect, whose cheeks
would pale the modest blush OF the
ripe peach. whose scarlet lips are the
model of cupid's bow and whose dark
eyes shine like limpid pools OF light
would have the effect only OF repulsing
the Mussulman. who. with his own
idea Of feminine pulchritude. would
turn with renewed alteration TO his
lady OF the embonpoint and the pan.
