Cooper and his ion, Roblni Cooper, "and John 0. Sharp; charged with the murder of for mer Sonntor Edward- W. Carmack, to day found the Coopers guilty of mur der In 'the second degree and fixed their punishment at twenty yean Im prisonment This Is the second time I the jurors reported a they came In yes- terday with a verdict of acquittal for SharnV after Ai houn dBHhflmUnn-hnt were unable to agree as to the Coop .... . ers. There was great excitement in the court room when a verdict was return ed. Immediately counsel for the Coo pers made a motion for a new. . trial, and bonds were fixed for father, and son in the sum of 120,000 each. The attorneys for the men declared that the battle was tar from finished. Both the Coopers took the verdict! cooly. They were prepared somewhat, by un certainly which, long :walt.- had wrought upon them, and evinced lit tie emotion when the jurors pronounc ed the verdict shortly after 9 o'clock this morning, .' , ;v; :. -;..;y...; ' The friends of the Coopers at once rushed to sign their bonds and the to tal security now amounts to 1120,000, with more to come. ; The defendants wil) be released some time during Ibis afternoon ; or : to-night j'- They were warmly greeted by their friends after the verdict ; ri' ,' :' 1 .'. The Cooper-Sharp trial, which ' was completed to-day, has been one of the most remarkable murder cases In the history of the South, not only be cause of the prominence of the prin cipals in the tragedy, but because of the reasons that led to the killing. ' CoL Duncan B. Cooper,' a former officer In the Confederate army under Forrest and a man very prominent in Democratic State politics once lived at Columbia, Tenn. In that town also resided - Edward - Ward Carmack, - a young lawyer who also did some news paper work. Cooper bought the Nash ville American and Induced , Carmack to come to. Nashville as its -editor. we,, they, were In thorough accord iS.tewfot ctimick'i friends say. noft" Colonel Cooper swore - th-itad "that thev ' were , close WBnnnl;n Governor Taylor opposed carmack for reflection to.the Senate. Tm fl w M long and bitter.:;! tea, ture of It was a series of joint debates, and Carmack; lost ' Cooper supported Taylor, but Robin, the boy who killed the Senator, supported -the latter. . - Malcolm R.,, Patterson was governor of the State at the time of the Car- mack-Taylor fight,' and lie announced his candidacy tor; re-electiop;, ; Car mack,'. Just beaten, for. the Senate, was urged .into r the race for- governor against Patterson. This was last June and the fight between the men tor the Democratic nomination was the most spectacular ever seen in Tennessee. Again, joint debates - were arranged and agaTnThe feeling between the tac tions grew very bitter, In these de bates, Cooper charged that Carmack assailed , the Colonel's good name, Cooper was an ardent Patterson man as the Governor , on the stand de scribed him as "my closest personal and political adviser." Again, Car mack lost, and, a month before the election, became editor of the Nash vllle Tennesseean. ' 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 State-wide liquor bill. In the meantime. Governor Patter son, and former Governor Cox, once deadly enemies, were reconciled. The Tennesseean . charged that ; Colonel Cooper - brought this conciliation about, and referred to It in a. humor ous and scarcastlo vlen In Its editorial columns. Carmack ' also,' Intimated that to save Governor Patterson, the Democratic leaders were preparing to trade Bryan for the governorship. Colonel Cooper was chafing under the I comment, and becoming more In- censed - every day. On Sunday, No vember 8, the day before the killing, an editorial appeared in the Tennes seean, which made Cooper still mad der, and when he and his son met Car mack In the street, the fatal shooting took place.-- ' FIRE ON HAYMOUNT.

ANONY MOUS LETTERS? . Since our article on anonymous let ters in Saturday's issue, we have re ceived Friday's Issue of the Asbevllle Citizen which contains the following, making an 'interesting coincidence: ! , Anonymous Letters. t: :'; I While it has been1 generally" under stood that the local newspapers, ' or any other newspaper will consign to the waste basket communications of anonymous nature,.- this species- of manuscript continues to find its way to the editorial rooms. ' The writer thereof is generally Incensed when he finds his epistle does not- see - the light ot day, forgetting, or refusing to know, that, the unsigned communica tion Invariably meets such a fate. Occasionally newspapers are- duped by "fake" signature.The Citizen re calls with painful" memory the publi cation of a letter signed "T. C. Hayes" wherein that most excellent citizen, Mr. R. TJ. Garrett, was wilfully ma ligned. We had no suspicion of,, its genuineness, and but little knowledge of Its contents . when the letter was published... Since , the author , stead fastly refused to reveal himself, we are how convinced that some cowarVl hid behind a false name in an effort to maliciously attack a man who could not possibly . have, done him . (the writer) any harm. : We have hopes,, however, that in the fullness of time we shall know who- clayed such a scUrvy trick on us. But, to return to our subject The Citizen desires to state that the dozen or more letters now awaiting publica tion will remain to honor and to tame unknown, unless the real name of the writer Is sent in. It (the name) does hot necessarily have to' be published but we must know the writer, as an evidence of good faith, and responsi bility. The Citizen has often remark ed, and It repeats now, that the pub lished communication with a "nom de plume" has very little weight. In many deserving cases It-la loves labor lost" - ' GOVERNOR KITCHIN TOR. TO BE ORA- At Tenth of May Celebration In Fay ettevllle. . v Governor Kltchln has accepted the Invitation ot the J. E. B.

Thratt, who was the last to leave, stepped out Ot the house, which was a single story frame one, the root came crashing down,, and where, a few,; minutes before, the -family had been peacefully asleep, a roaring fire raged.

WATSON, '"' H x SHERIFF, No Land So Rich That Fertilizer ' Cannot Make It Better , You use fertilizers lor the profit you get out of them and the better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on It. Do not Imagine because land will produce a fair crop without Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers that these fertilizers cannot be profitably nsed on it, or that they were, made only for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land '. will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, gooa land will show at least double the Increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers ? ; to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the ciop and you will increase the profits from your land. - , t "I have been using your fertilizers for a number of years" says : Mr. William F raiser, of Glasburg, I.," and find that it not only pays to fertilize, but to do plenty of it, and test the Vpst fertiliieri to b had, luch as your brands. - I have used a number of them and found them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other fertilizers that I have ever used." .: ' Every planter and farmer should have a copy of the new 1900 ' Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year-Book.
