SOME WANT AD TALK;
A little of the ' keeping at li"
Idea In advertising that property
—and you'll sell It.
That you could not find some
thing to PROFIT you In reading

Very Unlikely Things.
No merchant whose prlc* s are
too high will believe tha* "adver

If s*ou find and answer half of the

Only GOOD stores thrive by ad

SPEECH OF GEN. WASHINGTON
IN COOPER-SHARP TRIAL
—NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Following is
(he argument delivered by General
Washington and of counsel for the
defense in the Cooper-Sharp trial:
“1 come to you as one of counsel
for the defense to give you my views
of the law and evidence in the case.
But, before I do so, I have some
thing to say about the gentleman
who has just entertained you for four
hours. I don’t know anything about
this man, but I do know he doesn’t
belong here.”
General Washington had attired
himself in a new blue frock-suit, and
he grew fiery at once. In a loud,
high-pitched voice he attacked Gar
ner for intimating that Lieutenant
Pilcher had tampered with Carmack's
revolver.
Garner arose and said he had not
so charged.
"I know you didn’t; you don’t dare
to do it; but you intimated that the
son of old General Pilcher, who bears
the star of honor on his brow, was a
thief, a scoundrel, a liar and a per
jurer, and you can’t say or intimate
those things when I am around.’*
Several times the audience laughed
at the frenzied exclamations of the
speaker, and the deputies seemed
powerless to suppress it.
"This lawyer comes from some
other country, comes over to our side
of the fence,” he went on, “to brand
our citizens and our pure, good men
and lawyers as perjurers and suborn
ers of perjury. But enough of that,
I have no time to shoot at sparrows;
I have bigger game in view.
Sorry for Mrs. Carmack.
"This is a sad, sad case. My
heart and the hearts of my clients go
out to that stricken woman, to that
beautiful boy. She is an aristocratic
southern girl to the manor born. I
am not here to rob one star from the
diadem that glistens on the brow of
the deceased or to steal one rose from
the wreaths of his memory. I am
not here to defame the dead. He wa3
a great statesman, a brilliant editor
I know it well. lam here to help
to investigate the truth, to strip the
glamor from the case, and show you
the man; he wrote with a brtllance
that put his name into the literature
of the south. He spoke with a fire
and power that filled the, galleries of
the United States senate. He was all
that was great.
"When Carmack was In Washing
ton and Colonel Cooper asked him to
get a presidential appointment, he
couldn’t do it.; his fiery oratory had
built a Chinese wall between himself
and the White house. His bitter in
vective ”
The State Objects.
"We object to that,” interrupted
Attorney General McCam; "there H
nothing in the record about a Chinese
wall around the White house, nor in
the letter.”
"Keep within the record, general,”
cautioned the court.
General Washington described how
brilliant the services of Carmack
wore, but said that on his appeal for
re-election, he was opposed by Col
onel Robert Love Taylor. He de
clared Love was the sweetest word
in the English language.
"When a man has the poison of a
scorpion in his pen, the sting of a
wasp in his words and the venom of
a rattlesnake under his tongue, he
may be brilliant, but people want a
man at Washington who can help
them.
"The people were called upon to
decide between the brilliant, stinging
man and the gentle lovable one Col.
Cooper exercised his right and his
uncle, Judge Bradford, supported
Carmack with their influence and
their money.
"But Col. Cooper committed the
unpardonable sin of believing that
Taylor would make a better senator
than Carmack and the people agreed
with Col. Cooper that they wanted to
install at Washington, love and not
hate, honey and not poison. So Car
mack was out of a Job.
"But his brilliant talents were not
long idle. He announced his candi
dacy for governor against Patterson
Now it turned out that Col. Cooper
thought Patterson was a better man
than Carmack for governor. Maybe
some of you thought the same. Was
that any 'cause for Carmack to stop
speaking to Cooper on the street?
He had a right to, of course. But
when a man who had been the re
cipient of favors for twenty-five
years, makes a political disagree
ment the cause of a personal enmity,
then there is something wrong with
him. He determined to have Col.
Cooper for his political follower or
for his personal enemy. Coopei
must be either his slave or his deadly
foe.
Digging Up the Skeleton.
"What does Carmack say? ’I pro
pose to go down into the dark records
of the past, to dig the skeleton out
of the closet and expose the earlv
deeds, and whenever Col. Cooper
chirps. I will humiliate and disgrace
him.’
“Well, the campaign was on It
was a memorable campaign. It was
don’t take kindly to. and Mr. Saxon
has addressed a letter to Mayor Dun
bar. In which he states that he has
been informed by Mr. George S. Mur
phev that the latter will install a
ferry-flat and a cable for $2,000. It
becomes evident, therefore, that while
the merchants are not w-tiling to sign
up a contract with the city to build
a ferry and maintain the same, they |
will expect city council to take Mr.
Murphev’s offer up.
Mayor Dunbar states that a meet
ing of the finance and bridges, river
and wharves committees will meet
Friday to conelder the letter of Mr.
Saxon.
THURSDAY, MARCH 11.
Wants
memorable because of the brilliancy
of Senator Carmack. If an unknown
man abuses you in the public press
or ou the hustings, you can afford ro
ignore him.
“But when a man of naional repu
tation, power and influence marks
you for destruction, you have a dif
ferent proposition on your hands.
“What right had this man to sin
gle Col. Cooper out of the thousands
of supporters of F’atterson and make
him the target for his abuse and vil
lification; none in the world, yet
Carmack did it. What is the worst
thing a man can do to to you? he
can bum your house, he can rebuild
it. He can steal your money, you
can earn more. But if he touches
your honor, he takes what he cannot
restore.
“The most powerful engine for pub
lic good today is the public press. It
does more good today than any one
institution except possibly the
churches. Ail honor to the press. All
honor to those who nurn the midnight
oil that you may be informed. It is
the duty of the press to criticise pub
lic officials and the fear of the press
is the greatest deterrent of graft in
the world today.”
Carmack Wrote It.
Genera] AVashington next took up
•the editorial in the Memphis News
Scimitar of March 15, 1908, and show
ed how Colonel Cooper was informed
that Carmack had written it. He got
side-tracked for awhile and discussed
the failure of the state to prove that
Benning was not in The Tennessean
office the afternoon of November 9.
When he got back to the editorial he
demanded to know what right Car
mack had to put Cooper’s name in any
paper, declaring it would not be per
mitted in a reputable paper in a rep
utable community. The editorial con
nected Cooper with the lobby of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad,
which the paper denounced as the
most corrupt corporation in the state.
As a matter of fact, Cooper admit
ted on the stand that he was the
Louisville and Nashville lobbyist, at
a salary of $5,000 a year; that he sold
his salary to E. C. Craig for four
months in ad-vance and then resigned.
It was to try to get some of this
money back that Craig called upon
Cooper the night before the murder.
General Washington next took up
the joint debates with Patterson and
declared them to be the greatest, next
to the Douglas-Lincoln debates, in his
tory. He described how Carmack out
raged and insulted Colonel Cooper re
peatedly in the presence of the. “fair
est, most charming, most delightful
women in the world,” by calling Colo
nel Cooper “a little, bald-headed an
gel.” .
When the Bears Ate.
He told how, in Biblical times, some
boys who called a saintly old man a
“bald-head” were devoured by bears
who were sent out of the forest by
God to avenge the insult. Being on
Biblical themes, General Washington
quoted some more from holy writ to
shov* what was meant by an angel
with the smell of sulphur on his
wings.
He next returned to the debates
and put the defense’s interpretation
upon Senator Carmack’s utterances,
declaring -that they were vilely in
sulting and debasing. He claimed
that Carmack had Cooper by the
throat, helpless, and, like the small
boy bully at school, gloated over his
power.
It was also intimated by the speak
er that Colonel Cooper suspected from
The News-Scimitar editorial that Car
mack proposed to expose his dealings
as clerk and master in chancery.
General Washington’s colleagues were
watching the clock, which was point
ing to 5 o’clock, and caught his eye.
He then said:
“I see it is long after adjourning
time, so I will desist now until to
morrow,” whereupon court was ad
journed un-til 9 a. m. tomorrow.
THE STRAPHANGER.
There was a young fellow from Mars
Who rode once or twice on our cars.
Like the rest of the chaps,
He could not get straps,
So he left and went back to the stark
