ATTORNEY DIES A j MARTYR TO DOTY, J. !U. CANNON KILLED BY J. G. SULLIVAN IN LAURENS COUNTY -SCHOOL ROW T^E CAUSE. Laurens, May 12:?Just after he had concluded a speech in Magistrate Hellams's court at Gray Court this afternoon John M Cannon, a prominent attorney of the Laurens bar, and one of the best-known citizens of the county and State, was shot and almost instantly killed by Joseph G Sullivan, son of Thomas J Sullivan, and a prominent young farmer of Tumbling Shoals. Mr Cannon was shot five times, four of the bullets penetrating his body and the fifth piercing his arm near the elbow. One of the bullets struck a bystander,Archie Willis,passing through his leg near the ankle. Sullivan was brought to jail soon after the shooting. When seen by newspaper repl%i-? JaaKma/] 4-a ?vk ftlrA ontT rcseuauves lie uccimcu cu uiaac muj statement,saying that he might have something to say tomorrow. The body of Mr Cannon was brought here this afternoon on the late train and the burial will take place tomorrow. The tragedy grew out of a case brought in the Magistrate's court by Miss Maude Sharp, teacher of the Mount Bethel school, in Sullivan township, against Humbert Sullivan, aged 18, a pupil of Miss Sharp and a brother of Joseph G Sullivan, the alleged slayer of Mr Cannon. Humbert Sulliyan was charged with common assault, using profane language in a public place and committing depredations on the property of the school building several weeks ago. Mr Cannon was employed by Miss Sharp to prosecute the case. A change of venue in the case was obtained and the trial came up for a hearing today before Magistrate Hellams, of Dial township. W R Richey, Sr, of the Laurens bar, represented the defendant. A number of witnesses for both sides testified, including a sister of the defendant. After ascertaining that Miss Sullivan was a sister of the defendant, Mr Cannon is said to have asked to "come down." Exception was taken to this by opposing counsel and Mr Cannon disclaimed any intention of reflecting on whatever she might have testified to and thus the incident ended. Mr Cannon made the opening and closing arguments and is said to have excoriated the conduct of the young defendant in no uncertain terms. When the jury niea out 01 the depot office, where the trial was held, Mr Cannon stepped out into the depot yard. He was approached by a patron of the school, who complained that the attorney had in his speeches reflected on the character of his son, one of the principal witnesses for the defence. Mr Cannon is said to have replied that he sought only to bring out the truth and had no apologies to make, whereupon Mr Wood, the patron, turned away, saying he wanted an apology or trouble. At this juncture it appears Joseph G Sullivan took up the matter and told Mr Cannon that he had disgraced his brother and the Sullivan family, and that when he made certain derogatory statements . he (Cannon) knew they were lies. Mr Cannon resented this and struck Sullivan on the head with a cane, which the deceased had used since his leg was broken several months ago in a railway accident. The instant he struck Sullivan the latter drew his pistol and fired five times in rapid succession, and at a very close range. Mr Cannon was standing near the steps of the depot and sank as he attempted to ascend them. Friends rushed up and caught him before he fell. He said he knew7 he was mortally wounded and was going to die, but he was conscious of having performed his duty, and that in defence of a woman. Then he asked that he be sent home to his wife and baby, and expired before uttering another word. The inquest was held this afternoon by the same officer who had conducted the trial. Just as the shooting occurred the jury returned a verdict of guilty against Humbert Sullivan. Mr Cannon was 34 years of age, a WHEN OUT OF SOKES START 1 YOUR LIVER WORKING. Nn Matter Uliat Ails You,Dodson's Liver lone is Usually a Big Help in Getting Hell. Avoid Lalomel Nine times out of ten, when you are ill or out of sorts, > our liver is out of order and getting it in order oirQin will malro vnn rppl hpttpr ' When your liver is sluggish and tor- j pid and you are constipated and bil- i ious, it is impossible to feel well. There was a time when a great ( number of people took calomel when so troubled. But this is not true today. It has become widely known that calomel often has bad after-effects and is even dangerous to many. The use of Dodson's Liver Tone instead of calomel has spread wonderfully because it has proved so beneficial in so many households. Dr W V Brockington recommends and guarantees Dodson's Liver Tone instead of calomel and guarantees to refund purchase price (50c) to you instantly without question if you are not perfectly pleased with the way in wnicn it relieves you irom constipation, sick headache, biliousness,etc. It "livens up" the liver and is a pleasant-tasting, vegetable liquid, easy to take and causes no pain, no gripe.no bad results.no change from your regular duties and habits.

This is a strong firm, composed of men of great business capacity, who are workers, and we predict for them a large share of the warehouse business in our city. Mr J S Williams, who comes to us from Danville, Va,will have charge of the sales. He is not a stranger to you, having been connected with King's warehouse at Lake City for the past five yean.. Mr Williams is a capable, experienced warehouseman, having been in the business practically all his life. For the past twenty years he has been in Danville, Va, the largest loose-leaf tobacco market in the world, and with his unlimited experience and knowledge of the "weed", the farmers need have no fear in placing: their tobacco on the floor at the "Central", knowing that behind the auctioneer is a man who is a judge of tobacco, and one who will see to it that each and every pile of their tobacco brings full market price at all time?. Mr W E Nesmith, who has recently made Kingstree his home,will have charge of the floor. Mr Nesmith is a business man who comes here from near Cades. He is well known throughout the county, and those who know him best will savhe always "bulled" the market in the interest of the farmer at Cades. If honesty, accuracy and genuine appreciation, along with intelligent handling of your leaf tobacco, count for anything, let Mr Nesmith show you, rather than tell you, what he can do with your tobacco. Mr L C Montgomery, a man who is widely and favorably known throughout this and adjacent counties,whose honesty and integrity are above reproach and whose business qualifications peculiarly fit him for his line of work, will have charge of the office. If efficient, pains-taking service counts for anything, let Mr Montgomery handle your leaf tobacco account. We are glad to welcome these gentlemen to our town and community and predict that they will prove a valuable asset to our tobacco industry-'-Editor.
