THE TRIAL OF THE GOOPERS.
Prosecution Working on a Clue Which May
Aid in Establishing a Conspiracy.
After a strenuous reoess day on
the part of counsel on both .sides
in the Cooper-Sharp trial for the
murder of former United States
Senator Edward W. Carnrack, only
two facta developed. Ont was
that S. J. Bennings, the mysteri
ous witness tor the defense who
claimed he saw Senator Garmack
revolving the cylinder of a gun,
which will not revolve, will be re
called for further cross-examination
by the State. The other was
the feverish activity of the special
agents or escret police of the prose
cution. It developed that this ac
tivity was due to Attorney General
McCarn's belief that he had dis
covered a clue to the identity of
one of the three mysterious men
who, would make valuable witness
es for the prosecution.
On the day of Carmack's death
early in the day, three men visit
ed the office of The Nashville
Tennessean of which Senator Car
mack was editor. Each of the
men. asked at the business office if
the clerk could give him Mr. Car-
mack's address and if he knew a
bout what time the Senator went
home each afternoon. Two of the
men called in the morning or be
fore noon. The clerks in the
counting room did not know where
Mr. Carmack lived. But after
the second inquiry they secured
the information and when the
third man appeared after 1 p
they gave him the address.
m.
"Our clue is very vague," said
Attorney General McCarn tonight,
"aurl I doubt if we will be able to
use the information. We know
that the inquires were made and
can prove tnis Dy Tennessean em
ployes. But unless we can identify
the men who made them and then
further connect them directly with
a conspiracy to murder Senator
Carmack under our laws we could
not offer the testimony- even of
The Tennessean employes. We
are sparing no pains to identify
the men, however, despite the ap
parent hopelessness of the task.
Of cdurse even if we identify the
men they will deny the charge and
we might not be able to connect
them with the defendants."
Counsel for defense were not less
active. Old and new witnesses vis
ited their office all day anda num
ber of new subpoenas was issued
on their behalf.
It became generally knawn to
day that counsel for the prosecu
tion would not cross-examine
either Governor M. R, Patterson
or Adjutant General Tttlley Brown.
At the same time it became just
as well known that the attorneys
for the State disagreed as to the
wisdom of this proceeding. At
least two of the attorneys for the
prosecution are strong political
enemies of the Chief Executive .
These favored grilling the Gover
nor, The other, however, object
ed for two reasons. First, they
considered that the Governor's
testimony simply corrodorated
that of other witnesses as to- the
famous conferences the day of the
tragedy. These conferences the
State admits took place . Second
ly, of the 12 jurors, nine are Pat
terson supporters and it was not
deemed advisable to attack the
Governor on this account.
The Lurid Glow of Doom
Was seen in the red face, hands
and body of the little son of H.
M, Adams, Henrietta, Pa. His
awful plight from eczema had, for
five yean, defied all remedies and

the poisoned blood had affected
his lungs and nothing could save
him. "But," writes his mother,
'seven bottles of Electric Bitters
completely cured him." For

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Suggestions Which bay or May Not
be Found Profitable.
There is only one way to the
hearts of men the way ot your
own heart.
Some men who love their wives
seem really afraid they will find
it out.
Let us all know our own minds;
everybody certainly ought to know
this much.
Just one furrow plowed through
a field that is soaked with water
will hurry the process of dry:ng a
good many days.
About that boy of yonrs : Are
you going to mace the tarm inter
esting to him this year by giving
him a real stake in the stock and
crops?
While it may not be advisable
to spread manure on a sidf-hill
field when the grown is frozen, it
is well enough to spread it on a
plowed field that isnearly level.
Trusting to memory till night,
before you set down money paid
out, is dangerous. Do it right off.
Carry a little book in you pocket
and use it whenever there is any
thing to make a minute of.
The hrst spring day mates us
all uneasy to get out on the land
to work ; but fellow farmers, we
can gain time and be sure of bet
ter crops by just sitting still un
til the earth is dry enough to work
There is no surer way to Bpoil land
than to work it when it is too wet.
Before going down into a well,
test the purity of the air by low
enng a lighted candle or lantern.
If the light burn 4 dimly or goes
out, the poisous carbonic ascid
gas "damps" can be driven ou
by igniting a quantity f turpen
tine and sawdust or kerosens and
rags, in a kettle, and lowering it
to the surfaoe of the water; and
then, later, pour several (picket
fuls of water into the well from
the top Test again with the lan
tern, and note the improvement.
We want Our Folks to be on the
safe sMe, Farm Journal.
Says Mr. Bryan Will Ron.
"There is not a shadow of doubt
as to Bryan's candidacy in 1912,"
remarked a member of Congress
from a western State, at the Staf
ford. "I took dinner with Bryan in4
Denver, a week ago, and I am pos
itive he will again be willing to
take the leadership, as he has done
in three past campaigns. He did
not say this directly, but often
one does not have to hear a man's
open declaration to know his in
tention . But before again trying
for the White House Bryan will
seek election to the United States
Senate from Nebraska. From
what I know of the situation, I
bejieve it safe to predict he will
win this office, inasmuch as a sen
atorial primary law will be passed
by the present Nebraska Legisla
ture, and ?dth such a law Bryan
would have more than an even
chance of victory. ; He would du
plicate the trick of Governor
Chamberlain in Oregon. Thous
ands of Republicans in Nebraska
like Bryan, and and a fnatter of
State pride would aid in sending
him to the Senate. The same men
would not vote for him for Presi
dent, As a Democrat, I do not
wish bryan to run in 1912, but as
his warm personal friend I shall
support him, even while positive
he has no; chance."- Baltimore

- It Saved His Leg.
"All thought I'd lose my leg,"

The discovery of a certain brand

two weeks ago of his wife," aBked
that a physician be summoned.
A local physician was summon
ed and likewise asnnrse employod
It is said that the man, who fre
quently went' into paroxysms of
weeping, was worked with for a
bout 7 hours when the attending
physician learned the true cause
of the man's ailment. He had
been drinking-a concocat ion palm
ed off as "liquor" which, when
analyzed, contained, it is said,
wood alcohol, nitro-muriatic acid
andjbead oil. The man who really,
it is said, came from the country,
was later arrested. Had he drunk
much of the stuff at a time there
would not have been need for a
doctor or nurse either.- Asheville

Fruit Badly Injured.
The elegant spring weather
which has prevailed more or less
hroughout the , entire winter
months brought to -premature

No reports have come in so far
from Rowan but. much of the ear
ly fruit is no doubt killed. Some
puaches, plums and apple trees
were blooming which have prob

Our Northern Friends Would Better Look
After Their Own Schools.
An unprecedented scandal of
liquor drinking and cigaretto
smoking on part of boys- and
girls in the high school
brought to a head Tuesday by
expulsion of a girl member of th
juuior class. Other expulsions
are expected to occur. The ex
pulusion of a girl came as a result
of an . investigation iuto,charejes
of misbehavior on the part of boy
and girl students by the school
Oimmittee.
At a reception and dance given
ior miss xie'ene Kooinson, a new
teacher in the high school audi
torium, on last Friday Dight, it is
alleged that whiskey was brought
into the school by one of the boy
students, and that four girls and
some of the boys went into the
basement, where they drank the
If' TT 1 -
contents of the bottle andsmoked
cigarets.
On returniDg to the hall, it is
alleged that one of the girls was so
intoxicated that she could hardly
-walk, and that the others showed
evidence of thejr carousal. This
is the second scandal of this kind
that has developed within three
weeks. A short time ago the high
school basketball team was dis
banded because of misconduct at
Dummer Academy, where it was
playing. Newburg, N. Y., dis
