The Cooper-Sharp trial, just COM
pleted, has been one of the most re-
markable murder cases in the history
of the south, not only because of the
prominence of the principals in the
tragedy, but because of the reasons
that led to the killing.
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, a for
mer officer in the confederate army
under Forrest and a man very prom
inent in Democratic state politics,
once lived at Columbia, Tennessee
In t&t town also resided Edward
WaE Earmack, a young lawyer, who
also did some newspaper work
Cooper bought the Nashville Ameri-
can and induced Carmack to come to
Nashville as it's editor. Whether the
men ever were in thorough accord,
is disputed point. Carmack's S
friends say not. Colonel Cooper
swore on the stand that they were
close friends until Governor Taylor
opposed Carmack for reelection to
the senate. This fight was long and
bitter. A feature of it was a series
of joint debates, and Carmack lost
Cooper supported Taylor, but Robin
the boy who killed the senator, sup
ported the latter.
Malcolm r. Patterson was COVER
nor of the state at the time of the
Carmack-Taylor fight, and he an
nounced his candidacy for re-elec-
tion. Carmack, just beaten for the
senate, was urged into the race for
governor against Patterson. This
was last June and the fight between
the men for the Democratic nomina-
tion was the most spectacular ever
seen in Tennessee. Again, joint de-
bates were arranged and again the
feeling between the factions grew
very bitter. In these debates,
Cooper charged that Carmack as
sailed the colonels good name.
Cooper was an ardent Patterson man
the governor on the stand describ-
ed him as "my closest personal and
political adviser" Again, Carmack
lost, and, a month before the elec-
tion, became the editor of the Nash
vile Tennessean. He had made the
race on the prohibition platform, and
while he did not get the nomination,
he did secure enough representatives
to assure the passage of the so-called
Ytate wide liquor bill.
- In the meantime, Governor Patter-
son and former Governor Cox, once
deadly enemies, were reconciled. The
Tennessean charged that Colonel
Cooper brought this reconciliation
about, and referred to it in humor-
GUS ay1 sarcastic vein in its edi-
td drAg Blumns. Carmack also inti-
mateXSh that, to save Governor Patter-
son, the Democratic leaders wSre
preparing to trade Bryan for the gov
ernorship. Colonel Cooper was chat
ing under the comment, and becom-
Ing more incensed every day. On
Sunday. November 8, the day before
the killing, the following editorial
appeared in the Tennessean:

STORY OF
ABDUCTORS ARREST
| IS UNTRUE
lBy Associated Press

SHARON (Pa.). March 20
James S. Whitla, the father of the
Kidnapped child, Willie Whitla, said
tonight that there were no new de-
velopments in the search. Frank H.
Buhl. the millionaire uncle of the
boy, returned late today from Cleve-
land with the story that the reported
arrest Of the abductors there is un-
true.

Hon. John Isaac Cox. All honor to
that noble spirit, Major Duncan
Brown Cooper who wrought this
happy reunion of congenial and con-
fiuxible spirits separated by evil
fates although both for each other.
All honor to Major Duncan and may
the blessing of the Peacemaker be
upon him. May he be heir to all
the beatitudes, and especially to the
blessing reserved for those who hum
ger and thirst after righteousness.
] And there goes also blessing to his
excellency-for as he has been mer-
ciful to Cox, so shall he obtain
mercy
"But the choicest blessings as is
right and proper, are for Governor
Cox himself For If there be any re-
ward for meekness, and for enduring
persecution for righteousness sake,
he shall inherit the earth and his is
the kingdom of heaven. Yet such is
the meakness of his spirit that we
doubt not that Governor Cox would
be entirely comforted with the meek
mans reward.
If we pause here briefly to review
the unhappy differences that have
armed these valiant souls against
each other, it is for no purpose of re-
newing the strife, but rather of en-
phasizing by contract the felicity of
the present situation. 1t will serve
also, to bring out in bold relief the
gracious spirit which enables Cover
nor Patterson to condescend to men
of low estate, lift up where he has
trampled down and lay poultice of
warm words upon the reputation lie
has so fearfulIy bruised. 1t will
teach also those who most unjustly
have regarded Governor Cox as a
man of proud and hauty spirit, that
he is in fact a man of modest still
ness and humility one who can
forget injuries the most grievious,
forgive insults the most fragrant, in
dure every assault upon his honor
and good name without resentment,
and, in general, humble himself that
he may be exalted. 1t will also show
that no one can ever sin away his
day of grace with the present all
merciful machine; that no man can
ever become so vile, so degraded,
so corrupt in it's estimation that it is
not ready to raise him up and load
him with dignity and honors if he
only will give up everything and
serve it with fidelity and singlesness
of heart
1T will be remembered that Gov
ernor Patterson professed to have
only one great motive in seeking the
office of governor-the wholly patri-
otic and unselfish desire to purge the
state of the shame and infamy
brought upon it by Cox and the Cox
machine. He openly declared that
he would rather some other than he
had the task and the honor, but his
sould would not consent that such a
man as Cox should be the governor
of Tennessee. He charged that Cox
had degraded and debauched the
politics of the state; he represented
him as the plant tool of the saloon
and the corporation; he charged that
he was Democrat only in name, a
Republican in fact; he called him a

started for home The journey back was
worse than going. for the rivers were exceed
ingly treacherous. The French governor re-
fused to heed English commands and continued
to build forts, 30 George Washington ap-
pointed to command soldiers to march against
the French in the spring. This the begin
ming OF war between the French and English,
which lasted seven years. Gen. Braddock was
sent over from England and George was made
colonel and commanded the Virginia troops.
Though Braddock was a capable general he
did not understand the art OF fighting the In
dams and refused to heed young Washington's
advice. The general was shot in one of these
engagements. With this the Redcoats began
to run, but Washington tried to call them back.
All day he was in the midst of the fight. Four
bullets went through his coat and two horses
were shot under him.
The war at end, Washington returned
home. He was anxious to see his mother, whom
he had not seen in some time. Though Mrs.
Washington was not a brilliant woman she
had plenty of good judgment and common
sense, and was always ready to give her son
wise counsel Proud though she was of her
boys energy and desire to serve his country
she was careful not to spoil him by excessive
praise. She loved to hear of the hazards of
war. but she emphasized the dangers more
than her boys success.

a gentleman who has recently
made a tour Of the State told US
that Cole L. Blease will not only
be a candidate for Governor next
year, but that it would surprise
him very much if he did not sue
ceed. He said that in every coun-
ty that he had been in, Blease is
frequently mentioned as a Win
ner, and the farmers look upon
him as a second Ben Tillman.
Blease's recent election to the
Mayorality Of his home city has
given an impetus to his prospects
to be Governor When we asked
him if he thought Blease could
beat Fea,herstone, he laughed,
and said that the fight for gov
ernor would lay between f. l.
Manning and Blease, and that
Featherstone would be a a.dista.nt
third. What this man knows
about political conditions in the
State, We KNOW not, but be claims
to have talked to leading vote
getters and from what informa-
ton he gathered he seems con
vinced that Blease will succeed
Governor AnSel.

The Washington correspondent
for The State is doing his ':durn-
dest" to make somebody the po-
.itical adviser to the President.
His latest guess IS Col. j. c..
Hemphill, editor of the News and
Courier. Col. Hemphill is per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Taft, and we
have no doubt that ne has a high
regard for his judgment. but at
the same time. we doubt very
much that Col. Hemphill is in the
Office giving business, and know
ing the man as we'll as we do, we
are certain that he would not care
to be the dispenser Of political
jobs. If his advice was sought,
no doubt that be would give his
Judgment, and in our opinion the
President would be safe in acting
apon it.
