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.

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

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

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.
To test Dodson's Liver Tone is a
sensible matter because you get your
money back if you are not satisfied.
son of L M Cannon, of Lanford, and
a nephew of John W Lanford. He
graduated from Wofford College and
studied law in this city and entered
upon the practice of his profession
here about nine years ago. He
represented the county in the Legislature
one term, from 1906 to 1903.
He has been very active in politics
and was a recognized leader. Three
years ago he was appointed a mem
ber of Governor Blease's staff as
Judge Advocate and was recently
named by the Governor as a member
of the board of regents for the
State Asylum. He was also recently
re-elected county chairman and a
delegate to the State convention.
He married Miss Jessie Huey of
Rock Hill, who survives him, together
with one little son. He was
a Mason and a member of the Methodist
church.
announcementt
We are glad to announce through
the columns of our paper that the
"New" Central Warehouse, which
has recently been erected on the old
site, is now in the hands of Messrs
Williams, Montgomery and Nesmith,
who have leased and will run it the
coming season. 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.
