Cooper Tragedy Recalls
Bitter Tennessee Fight.
Smouldering memories of one of
the most sizzling, epectacular and
sensational political campalgn in thf
annals of American history will be
rekindled through the tragic death in
Tennessee of Robin J. Cooper, Nash
ville lawyer and slayer of former
United States Senator FEdward W.
Carmack,
It was more than a campaign—it
was a political feud to the death,
Young Cooper was no politician. He
was a hot-headed youth, just enter
ing into the practise of law, fresh
from college,
And it was this fiery spirit of youth
that imbued him with the one idea—
assuming a protectorate over his fa
ther, Duncan B. Cooper, who as a
politieal leader was the target for

bitter newspaper criticism by Car-
Fmack.,
Senator Carmack had enn('ed in
a memorable joint debate throughout
Tennessee with Malcolm R, Patter
‘son for an opponent in a Democratic
gubernatorial campaign,
FOR PROHIBITION,
The former stood on a platform of
State-wide prohibition. Mr. Patter
'son was termed the leader of the
“wet” faction. The insignia of the
Carmack faction was a white ribbon
and that of Patterson’s followers was
red. Carmack was defeated.
These scathingly bitter debates
split the Democratic party, eventu
ally, into smithereens and resulted
in the later election of Ben W. Hoop
er, first Republican governor of Ten
nessee for a period of 40 years, It
did far more bitter execution—it es
tranged families and neighbors. The
political feud was so intense in its
bitterness that it invaded church and
school in the selection of officers and
teachers,
It was after th* campalign, when
Carmack was editbr-in-chief of the
Nashville Tennessean and Patterson
was governor of the State that the

New Millinery Store
To Open Here Monday
The ultra fashionable in fall and
winter millinery is on display at the
New York Model Hat Shop which will
te formally opened to the public
Monday morning.
The new millinery establishment is
lecated at 82 Whitehall street and is
equipped to look after the wants of
the women of Atlanta promptly and
in & manner that 'is calculdated to win
for them many friends.
Although the models are of the very
latest, it will be found that the prices
are modest. This is due, according to
the management, to the unsurpassed
system of purchasing employed by the
store. -

prohibition question reached the Leg
islature. In the fall of 1908 the strife
was at its climax.
BRILLIANT WINTER.
Carmack was noted for the Keen,
cutting, withering sarcasm of hls‘
brilliant editorials. Colonel Cooper,
Robin's father, adviser of (!arma,ck:
in his younger days, had become the‘
chief ally of Governor Patterson., He
wag, lterally, the mnan behind the‘
throne, ‘
During that time of ka)eldlscoplc‘
political maneuvers and strange ul-‘
lignments, John 1. Cox, an Kast Ten- |
negsean and at one time' governor of
Tennessee, had been among Gover
nor Patterson’s most daring and
ruthless opponents. Outside of Car
mack, Cox had most relentless in his
attacks upon Patterson,
~ But through the political ennning
of Colonel Cooper, one of the deepest
students in the wiles of campaign
trickery and wire-pulling, an alliance
wasy formed between Cox and Pat
terson and they linked their energies
toward a joint control of the Demo
cratic mt«'hlno‘
IBSUES WARNING. .
Carmack’s editorials whizzed like
darts, and they were directed uner
ringly at Colonel Cooper—the manl
behind the throne. The father of |
Robin became so enraged at these
cditorial attacks that he sent a stern
warning to Carmack that the next
time l,is name (Duncan Cooper) was
used in the Tennessean, “the town
will be too small to hold the two
of us."”
The following morning Carmack's
famous editorial appeared-—the bit
of sarcastic comment that hbrought
the climax before the sun went down
that autumn evening,
It was based upon Colonel Cooper’s
diplomacy that brought about the al
liance between Cox and Patterson.
One paragraph follows:
“To him who grafted the dead
bough to the living, who made oil and
water to dwell in harmony in the
same vessel, who welded the wooden
handle to the pewter spoon—to the
diplomat of the zweibund, Duncan B.
Cooper, be all honor and glory for
ever.”
Carmack persistently refused to ‘BO
armed even when warned at frequent
intervals by his associates. But the
day of the tragedy an attache of the
newspaper editorial department
pressed a weapon into Carmack's
pocket, A ;
That afternoon Carmack was com-
Ing down the street leading to the
newspaper office and had stopped to
greet a prominent woman of the city.
As he stood with his hat off, greet
ing the woman, a menacing votce
came from across the street.
In another moment Carmack haa
fallen, mortally wounded. Robin
Cooper stood with smoking revolver
in his hand. His father was close at
hand. Carmack's pistol was found in
his pocket, the barrel upward. It had
not been fired.
Both Coopers were convicted for
second degree murder and both ap
pealed. Robin's case was reversed
but his father's conviction was af
firmed. Governor Patterson pardoned
the elder Cooper before the prison
sentence, written by the criminal
judge, had dried wupon the court
docket,

and clothing has suffered heavy cur
tailment for many months since the
signing of the armistide. Boot and
shoe production for ecivilian use has
likewise undergone, extreme curtail
ment since the slkfling of ghe armi
stice. Housing faecilities, due to cur
’l“llm"n'. for many months following
the armistice, of the production of
building material and of building con
structlon, is still far below normal
Rents continue to rise,
- “6, The first half of 1919 shows di
minished production of raw materials
and subnormal econstruction of new
chipital and thus indicates failure to
utilize an adequate proportion of our
productive forces in the preliminary
processes of provigion to meet fu
ture requirements.. In fact, due to
business uncertainty and hesitation
and tendencles to disagreement be
tween productive groups, there ensued
after the armistice a disuse of a large
proportion of America’'s productive
capacity. Unless this slump in pro
duction is atoned for by consistent
future activity, and unless produc
tion is constantly maintained on an
adequate scale, reduced standards of
living will become inescapable, re
gardless of prices. |
. “The very fact that prices of fin
fshed, commodities, consumption
goods, so-called, have risen to an ex
tent out of proportion to the rise in
prices of raw materials and perhaps
out of propertion to the rise in gen
eral wages, Indicates that produc
tion carried on under these conditions
18, in general yielding profils abnor
mally high.”
“While the close of, the war found
America tending to run short of
clothing and houging, and behind in
its program of highways and trans.
portation facilities, it is a remarkable
truth that we passed through the war
period with a geperal tendency toward
considerable increase in our producs
tion of foods, y
“The wheat crop of 1918 amounted
to 917,000,000 bushels, as compared to
an average for 191014 of 728,000,000
bushels; and the probable harvest In
1919 is 1,236,000,000 bushels. Our
supply of wheat in elevators and mills|
on May 9, 1919, was 96,000,000 bush
els, as against 34,000,000 bushels the
year before. Notwithstanding large
exports, our wheat and flour Bupply
is obviously adequate, while the situ
ation with respect to the other cereals
is generally very good.
“Though the sugar stocks are
somewhat low in the United States,
the future is normally provided for
“America emerged from the war
producing meat at a rate far ahove
pre-way figures, and yet possesses in
reserve 4 larger number of animals
on the farms than we had before the
heavy war drafts upon our supplies
bégan,
‘““The report of goods in cold stor
hge shows an increase in the quan
tity held on July 1, 1919, as against
the same date a year ago. Taken in
connection with the evidence of rela
tively abundant reserves of live ani
mals and large crops for the current
vear, it would seem that some relief
from high prices of food should be
possible,
“It is true that food is, by compar
fson, plentiful. But it is also true
that money or other circulating me
dium is unprecedentedly plentiful.
“When the war ended the world’s
cotton supply was below normal. The
supplies of cotton goods were also
low. The acreage planted to cotton
was this year approximately 9 per
cent less than for 1918, The present
prospects are that the cotton crop
will be small, and published articles
are appearing expressing gratifica
tion over the prospectively large com
mercial returns which the cotton pro
ducers may be able to command be
cause of the high prices which may
be had for the reduced cotton output.
“In the cotton industry, as in most
of our industries, the economic
watchword of wartimes, which was
‘Output, and more output’ (the-nec
essary condition of full prosperity in
peace), was not heard after the ar
mistice. There goon developed, on
the contrary, hints of unhealthy fears
of ‘overproduction.’
“Notwithstanding the Trelease of
labor, if it were needed, by demobil
ization, and notwithstanding adequate
supplies of raw cotton to meet the
season’'s requirements, and the lack
of any important difficulties in the
way of reconversion to peacetime
produets, and with low supplies of
finished goods in stock, the cotton
industry kept more spindles idle
during the first five months of 1919
than were idle during the correspond
ing period for 1918,
