the new methods. No good man
should refuse to serve if the people

GOES INTO DETAILS.

A number of other editorials were
produced by the witness, who told at
length of the rNu2er0us attacks that
Carmack had made upon him. person
ally and politically. He said that he
had never been a candidate for office
and that he only exercised the rights
of an American citizen to express his
opinions of men and measures and to
cast his ballot for whom he pleased.
Many of the editorials written by
Carmack, he said, reflected upon his
integrity as man and citizen and
that they were very unpleasant to
members of his family. In the early
stages, he said, he had demonstrated
with Carmack. but that he refused to
stop his attacks.
Col Cooper was on the stand long
time and was closely questioned by
his attorneys. Objections were made
now and then by counsel for the pros
ecution and some of these objections
were sustained.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

A meeting of the directors of the
Hattiesburg Commercial club is to be
held this evening, when it is under
stood that plans will be discussed for
putting the organization on a more
substantial basis. During the past
year there has been little inspiration
for effective work and the club has
been content to rock along with little
effort to accomplish definite results
But business is picking up, and the
Commercial club can be made poten-
tial factor in the sonsummation Of
Hattiesburg's splendid future.
Mr.. M. L. Bixler, the new secretary
is a man of energy and ability. His
long residence in the city and his
thorough knowledge of the resources
and advantages possessed by this i'm
mediate section of the state places
him in position to do effective work.
But the secretary of the commercial
club can accomplish nothing without
the cooperation of the business com
munity. This is a fact well known to
the officers and directors of the or
ganization, and it is understood that
plans are to be perfected tonight for
a vigorous campaign for new member
ship.
Every business man and every prop
erty owner in the city should be a
member of the Commercial club, con-
tributing a proportionate share to the
support of the organization, and The
News believes that this necessary

Nashville, Tenn, February 23-John
d. Sharp, charged with being an ac-
cessory to the murder of former Unit
ed States Senator Edward w. Car
mack, made bad witness for the de-
Tense. In his direct examination he
told a pretty straight story, but when
cross-examined by Gen. Garner of Maui
rey county he became excited, contra
dieting himself in a number of in
stances.
John Sharp is man of high temper
and Garner soon had him beside him
self. He contradicted himself on
many minor details, but never on the
more important particulars. Once he
got on dangerous ground. On direct
examination Sharp said that he saw
the killing and that Carmack fell aft
er Robin Copper had fired three times.
One of the bullet wounds, a neces-
sarily fatal one, pierced the senator's
neck within sixteenth of an inch of
the spinal cord, and came out under
his tongue. AS Sharp swore that Car
mack was facing young Cooper, aiming
a revolver at him, this wound would
be impossible to reconcile with the
statement On cross examination
Sharp said, however, that Carmack
turned his head just as the second
shot was fired. He did not explain
how the senator could turn his head

THE RIGHT IDEA.

The Birmingham News has the right
idea on the tariff question, as the
following paragraph from a recent
issue of that excellent paper goes to
show:
IF the proposed tariff commission
will treat the question of the tariff
as a business proposition and cut out
politics. it will no doubt be of some
service. The tariff is not properly 4
political matter, but an economic prop
osition, and the sooner the milestone
of politics is rolled out of the way the
better for all interests concerned ex-
cept those of the politicians, and they
should not be permitted to stand in the
way of the material advancement of
the people"
