TOWN NOT LARGE
ENOUGH FOR TWO,
SAID COOPER
ROBIN COOPER TEsTlFlEs IN
cARMAck MURDER TRIAL-coi.
COOPER SAID he HAD A RIGHT
TO PROTECT HIMSELF.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. eO.-The
greatest crush since the Cooper-Sharp
case began on Jan. 20 was witnessed
this morning when the defense opened
SITS case. BY s O'Clock not seat was
empty and standing room was at a
premium.
The sombre figure In black and the
little golden haired boy-Senator Car
slack's widow and son-were again
the center Of attraction OF the state
side OF the room.
Contrary 10 expectation the first
witness put on the stand was Robin j.
Cooper, the man who fired the shots
that killed Senator Carmack. Every
one had been expecting Col, Duncan
b. Cooper to be the first witness for
the defense. Robin Cooper took the
stand shortly before IL o'clock attired
in a neat suit OF gray. he was ex'
amincd by Judge j. NJ. Anderson, lead
ing counsel for the defense.
Col Cooper had told the witness
that Carmack had no right TO use his
name as he was doing. Col. Cooper
said he had anticipated trouble with
Senator Carmack; that Senator Car
mack had been shooting poisoned
darts" into him day after day, and II
had become unbearable and that ne
had q right TO protect himself. The
witness suggested to mis- father that
Mr.. Bradford might arrange with mu'
tual friends to get Carmack TO stop
the mention of Col. Cooper's name.
The witness said Col. Cooper relat'
cd the efforts OF Ed Craig to settle
the matter and Col. Cooper understood
from Craig that Carmack was in an
ugly mood and would agree to moth

way countryman OF Schaurs.
The mayor grinned with delight. ana
wagged his head up and down again.
You grasp my meaning precisely, he
said.
"Of course" said Ludwig. we have
To consider what would happen II We
were TO attempt TO bring about such
coup d'etat IL would be futile TO
destroy the nj unless we also destroy
Strong. and that should be simple
matter for band OF determined men.
But are such determined men 10 be
found ,"
Leave that 10 me, said The mayor.
For little while there was silence,
and in the silence Ludwig grew un-
comfortable. He had come TO regard
Strong not with respect but with ter
ror. He foresaw that he would be
likely 10 meet with an extraordinarily
unpleasant end were the plot TO fail.
In any case Strong's friends would
remain 10 be accounted for.
Perhaps he suggested. when the
silence had become almost unbear-
able. perhaps ii would be better. az
ter all, TO attempt the more peaceful
way first, and that, OF course. Is a
matter with which you will have TO
deal, as am totally unacquainted with
the representatives of the people and
have not the least idea how opinion
goes on the subject
Quite So said the mayor, quite
so. But you see. OF course, there is
one initial difficulty. Stalyan has de-
lberately betrayed US. He is on the
side of Strong He appears 10 be hyp
Noticed By him. He works with
Strong by day and he works with
him at night. He seems TO have nc
motive in life but 10 serve his new
master
Tine army, too. will be somewhat
OF a trouble 10 deal with. He has
placed Gen. Martel in complete con
troll OF the troops. and you know that
Gen. Martei was never over fond OF
the king.
We can meet. OF course he went
on, but the meeting will be- difficult
for this insolent swashbuckler. II you
please, has not only calmly suspended
the constitution, but has suspended
the sitting OF the chamber as well.
Quite So said Ludwig. but none
the less, there is no reason why si,
ting should not be arranged for. And
the sooner II is arranged for the bet
ter The whole point of the matter Is
whether the people will follow the
lead OF the deputies.
You see" ne continued. what we
should practically have to do would
be to declare a general strike-a strike
among all classes. an absolute refusal
on the part OF professional men. bust
ness men, and the workers, not only
the workers, but the troops, TO raise

Hunters Preparing

Sportsmen in this section are getting
ready for the opening of the cunning
season next Monday, November 18th.
This is the date for killing birds and
rabbits, and the slaughter will COM
mence in earnest on that date. 1t is
generally suspected that there has much
killing of game for the past several
weeks, as the weather has been cool
and the conditions favorable.
Reports are to the effect that there
is plenty of game in Worcester County
this season. Rabbits are more than
plentiful and the supply of birds is said
to be good. The spring and summer
were favorable to the raising of the
young game and our sportsmen will
have a great time for the next two
months.

The daily newspaper are discussing
the selection of man for the Presidency
of the State Senate, and of course they
have brought into the limelight men
who have no idea of being candidates
for the honor. The men most promi-
nently mentioned are, Senator John P.
Moore, of Worcester County; Senator
Arthur P. German. of Howard County,
and Senator Jesse d. Price, of Wicomico
County. If Senator Moore is an aspirant
for the honor his friends here do not
know it. In point of service in the
Senate he is one of the Oldest members,
and it is usually customary to take this
fact into consideration. In point of ex-
perience and ability Senator Moore is
the proper person to receive the hon
or and we hope that it will come to him.

Salisbury, says: Zone Of the biggest
moves on the chess board of develop
ment was made last week when syn
dicate of gentlemen closed deal for
the Humphreys estate in that city.
This movement means that the beauti-
full Lake Humphreys will be no more but
on the site of the stream will rise fac
tories. docks and railroad yards. A
large portion of the lake will be re-
claimed, leaving a sufficient waterway
to carry off into the Wicomico River
the water from the lake and the pond
emptying into the lake. The propo-
sition is to extend Main Street in Sails
bury up past the Court House and on
up toward the N. Y. P. & N. Railroad
bridge which crosses Lake Humph-
reys."
This property belonged to the Humph
ries heirs, of the number being: Mrs. E.
