''"The general commanding takes pleasure in announcing that he has selected as orator for the Memphis re uinGen. Theodore S. Garnett of Norfolk. Va. As an offieer on the staff of Gen.

''The general commanding com mends these ladies to the good graces of his beloved associates and feels satisfied that every 'honor and courte sy will be showvered on them by the gallant remnant of our armies pres ent in Memphis." The year 1908 recorded the death of Geni. Stephen D. Lee. and the re union last spring at Birmingham' was given over largely to exercises in hon or of the dead chieftain. Many times Isince the gathering at Birmingham taps have been munded over the grave of some departed hero. and again at Memphis memorial services will be held in honor of those who have answered their last roll call since the grand muster of 1908. Gen. Evans makes mention of this portion of the program which is to be carried out at Memphis. in general order No. 10, which is as follows: Memorial Services. ''The general commanding an nounces that after the convention is fully organized for business on the second day of the reunion. June 9, ex actly at high noon, and in accordance with the custom which was establish ed at the Charleston reunion, and which has since been rigidly observed. memorial services will be held for one hour. At that moment the con ven tion will suspend business for this s:1 credl purpose, without further not ice and without regard to what ate taking place. Flags will be draped i, m--nin, a a. mark of respect to the m V 11e 1eloved anu -1 1 )augliter of the Confederacy,' our commander-in-chief, zealous ehaplai,i general and all of our comrades who have preceded us into -eternity. "In order to make the services more impressive and enlist the inter eset of all, the ladies of the Confed erate Memorial assoiiation xill :ave no separate exercises, but will join with the veterans.' "The number of dead ha; been greatly augmented during th2 last year by the following diif;tguished leaders: Lieut. Gen. Alexander P. Stewart, Chaplain General J. William Jones, Brig. Gen. Frederick L. Rob ertson and Maj. Gen. Tho)L-S W. Carwile.'' Gen. William E.

Gen. Mickle is in ree'.pt of many letters from members of the organiza tion. assuring him of their desire to attend the unveiling of the statue to Gen. Stephen D. Lee at Vicksburg. The exercises attendant upon the un veiling will form one of the features of the Memphis reunion. Special trains will take those who care to go from Memphis to Vicksburg on the morning following the last day of the reunion. TWO JAIL SENTENCES FOR TURPENTINE MEN Judge Names Imprisonment as Pun ishment for Sherman Law Vio lators. 'Savannah, Ga., May 14.-Overrul inc the motion in arrest of judgment offered by the defense, Judge William B. Sheppard this afternoon sentenceel the five men guilty of violating the herman anti-trust law, and for the I first time so far as is known, jail sen tences in two cases were imposed. The sentences follow: Spencer P. Shotter, chairman of the board of directors of the Ameri can Naval Stores company, three months in jail and a fine of $5,000. Edmund S. Nash, president of the company $3,000 fine. J. F. Cooper fers, vice president of the American company and presi dent of the Natianal Transportation and Terminal company, three months injail and a fine of $2,300. George Mead Boardman of New York. treasurer of the American Nav al Stores company, $2,000 fine. Carl Moeller of Jacksonville, Fla., agent of the American and general manager of the National Transporta tion and Terminal company in Jack sonville, $3,000 fine. Shotter and Myers were sentenced to terms in the Chatham county jail, Judge Sheppard imposing the punish ment upon them because they had been before the court two years ago, entering pleas of guilty. At that time Judge Emory Speer, who was presid ing stated that a term i~n prison would be imposed if they should come be fore the court -again. Nash was ex cused on the former occasion when the grand jury returned a "no bill'' as to him, as he was a witness before the grand jury. Moeller's sentence was made heavy because of his con netion with the terminal yards in Jacksonville, where regrading and re gauging were alleged to have taken plaee. The case will be appea.led to the United States court of appeals just as soon as the bill of exceptions can be prepared a'nd certified to by the court. In the meantime 'a motion for a new trial will not be made before Judge Sheppard. A writ of error citing 53 grounds was filed by the de fense immediately after sentence was passed. Counsel attacked nearly ev erthing the court permitted to come before the jury to which the defense Ientered protest. It begins with the court 's failure to sustain the demur re to and indi-etment and ends with ani exception to the jury 's verdict. Bond in the sum of $20,000 was given for all the defendants jointly and they were discharged pending the determination of their appr 11. The costs they must pay if the con vition and sentences stand will, it is said, reach $17,000, whieh. in the event the sentences stand, will be ap portionedl among the five convicted men. The defendants were sentenc ed separately. Judge Sheppard made no long address, but merely gave them an opportunity to say why sen tences should not be pronounced, a privilege of which they took but small advantage, and then passed t-he sen tences. Shotter was the last to be sentenced. Judge Sheppard made his longest speech them. probably 100 words. We d10 not know how cheap the seeds of happiness are or we should scate them oftener.-Lowell. GEN. BOYD ILL. Adjutant General Stricken in Hotel Aiken-Was Seized With Ap oplexy. Aiken. Mav 14.-This afternoon at the Hotel Aiken Adjutant General J. C. Bovd of Columbia. was stricken with apoplexy and is now in a very -serious condition. Gen. Boyd was in Aiken for the purpose of selecting a site for the encampment of the Third regiment and making arrange ments for the encampment. With several citizens .he spent all the morn ing driving, and the hot weather was noticed to have fatigued the general somewhat. After he had dinner at the Hotel Aiken he was sitting in th'e lobby with Capt. Rains of Charleston. The general was noticed to be in some way affected, and when he was spoken to by Capt. Rains he made no reply. In a moment, however, he appeared to have revived, and ans wered. His peculiar actions caused alarm among those who saw him, but Capt. Rains explained that he often was thus affected, and he thought hel would soon recover. However, in an other moment he had fallen out of his ehair to the floor. Dr. T. G. Croft was summoned at once and in a. few minutes t.he strick en soldier was carried to his room, where, for nearly two hours, he was in a delirious condition. He has now quieted, and the attending physician states that he has hopes of recovery. Tonight he has partially regained consciousness. The general's attack was followed by a hemorrhage. A quantity of blood was drawn from his arm. He is under the influence of nar cotich, but his condition is considered better than a few hours ago. Rela tives in Columbia have been notified. Capt. Rains returned to Charleston this -afterhoon. Adjutant General Improved. Aiken, May 15.-Adjutant General Boyd tonight is greatly improved and it is thought that he will recover. He has fully regained consciousness and expresses himself as being in hopes of returning to Columbia tomorrow. Col..Brock, assistant adjutant,and inspector general, arrived in this city this morning and is -now at the bed side of the stricken general. His daughter, Miss Rosa Boyd, has been notified of the conditon of the general but she has not arrived here yet.

The general evidently has a strong constitution and this and his strong will-power. coupled with th-e splendid attention he has received here, com bine to make the chances of his re covery bright. Last night Capt. J. M. Richard son, commanding the Aiken Rifles, N. G. S. C., detailed men from his com pany to remain with the genaral and the same will be repeated tonight. The hotel management and the people have bean exceedingly kind to Gen. Boyd since .his attack yesterday. JONES CASE NOT READY. Probable That His Motion for New Trial Will Not be Heard Until Fal. Union, S. C., May 15.-W. T. Jones, who last February was sentenced to life imprisonment in the State peni tentiary for the murder of his wife last July, will probably not have his hearing at the spring term of the sa preme court on the motion for a new trial as anticipated. Next Monday is the date set for the hearing of cases of appeals from this circuit and five days are devoted to this business, but because the printed case has not yet been filed with the attorneys for the prosecution, it is believed that the hbearing of the ap peal will be postponed until the fall a term next November. This will give Jones, who is a wealthy planter and has extensive landed interests, all the summer to get his affairs in the best L possible shape. O Jones, who has been in jail here F since last July, receives many callers, and transacts a large volume of busi- C ness. Since his trial he has regained his customary health, which almost failed him just after the conclusion of the hearing of his case by the circuit court. Of Same Opinion. Leslie's Weekly.
