SULLIVAN ON TRIAL.
Murder Case Is in Progress In APP
ping County


Baxley, Ga, Sept. 3O.-Appling Su-
perior Court has been in session here
nearly two weeks. Judge Paul E. Sea-
brook of the Atlantic Circuit presided
last week. Judge Parker of this cir
cult is presiding this week.
The case exciting most interest Is
that of the state VS.. A. C. Sullivan,
charged with the murder of Garry
Beecher. The case was sounded as
soon as court convened this morning
and both sides announced ready and a
competent jury was soon obtained. So
licitor General John w. Bennett, P. L.
Smith and Thomas & Parker appear
for the prosecution and r. D. Graham
w. w. Bennett and v. E. Padgett rep
resent the defendant.
The state has already rested it's case
and the evidence of the defense so far
indicates that the theory of the de-
Tense is that Beecher was guilty of i'm
proper conduct towards the wife of the
defendant and that as a result Beecher
was killed by Sullivan.
Both sides are prominently connected
and much interest is manifested.

Cincinnati, Sept 30.-Major Delmar

Major Delmar was accompanied by

TURPENTlNE MEN
FIGHT NEW LAW.

jacksonville, Fla, Sent. 30.--The tur-
rentine operators of Florida. especially
the smaller operators, are fighting the
newly elected license law. which IS
now in effect in the state. This law
requires the payment of full license
tax for each still. for the whole year,
regardless of their size, and for the
time that they are operated. even If
IL be for only half a year.
AS a test of the new law, Sydney v.
Hough, a manufacturer of spirits Of
t1rpentine, and rosin in Duval county,
operating two stills under one shed.
brought proceedings in the Circuit
Court, to-day against the tax collec-
tor, and the county judge of this coun-
ty to compel them to issue two IL
censes for operating turcentine still
for $50, which is one half OF the license
required by the year.
Attorney General J. B. Whitfield
was here TODAY to represent the state
in the case. Hough claims that the
law is uncertain. and vague In its
provisions, and therefore invalid, and
also that u discriminates to the detri-
ment OF the smaller operators. Judge
X. NJ. Call reserved his decision.

OBITUARY.
Lewis Tattnau Turner.

Mr.. Lewis TattnalI Turner died yes
terday morning at o'clock at his home
at Montgomery after a lingering ILL
ness. Mr.. Turner was one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Savannah and his loss will be
deeply mourned. He was in his 57th
year.
Lewis Tattnall Turner, son of DIR. L.
I. Turner, was born at Hardwick
Bryan county, Nov 5, 1886. Until u
years of age he lived with his grand
father on Whitmarsh Island. At the
age of II he enlisted in the Confederate
army and served with bravery and dis
tinction until the close of the war,
winning for himself the esteem and
praise of his fellow soldiers and the
officers under whom he served.
After the war he entered the employ
Of William Battersby & Co, one of the
largest cotton firms in the South. In
1875 the firm name was changed to
Muir, Duckworth & Co. and Mr.. Turner
was made member. He moved short
ly afterward to New Orleans to take
charge of the business of the firm in
that section of the country. He re-
manned in New Orleans until 1890 when
he returned to Savannah and took
charge of the business of the firm here
In this capacity he served faithfully
and well until 1896 when his health,
which had been failing him for some
years, compelled him to retire from
active business life. Since that time he
has lived at Montgomery.
While in New fOrleans Mr.. Turner
was ordained an elder in the church of
which Rev. DIR. B. NJ. Palmer was pas
tor and upon, his return to Savannah
he held the same office in the indie
pendent Presbyterian Church.
On Sept. 3, 1865. Mr. Turner married
Miss Mary Newell. who. with three
children, Miss Mary E. Turner, DR.. l..
N. Turner, and Mr.. Francis L. Turner,
survive him. Two sisters, Mrs. Fuller
Barnard and Mrs E. j. Newell, and
one brother, Mr.. Frederick Turner, are
also left to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Turner throughout his life was
an earnest and consistent Christian and
a faithful member of the Presbyterian
Church. His business and personal
character was above reproach. The
funeral will be held from the Independ-
ent Presbyterian church this afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock. Rev. DR.. Fair will on
ciate.

Injury-South Congratulated Upon
Its Deve1Opment-New England to
Develop Foreign Markets.
Lenox, Mass, Sept. 30.-When Presi-
dent Herbert E. Walmsley. of New
Bedford to-day gave the call to order
for the semi-annual meeting of the
New England Cotton Manufacturers
Association, nearly 200 members were
present.
In his address, President WaImsley
urged the young men in the associa-
ton to come to the front and assume
their share in the work in the associa-
ton. He referred to the unsatisfactory
condition of the cotton trade at the
present time and said the past few
months had been one of the most diff
ficuIt periods ever experienced.
The prevailing quietude in the
trade" he said, has undoubtedly been
intensified by the raw material situa-
ton. TT is a. deplorable Circumstance"
he said, that the pernicious practice
Of cornering such a necessary staple
as cotton should be possible, democrat
izing and paralyzing for the time be-
ing an industry Of such immense wealth
to individuals and to the nation as
that of cotton manufacturing, throw
ing out Of employment, and reducing
to the verge of starvation the thous-
ands of families whose very existence
is dependent upon the continued and
steady operation of the factories where
they find employment.
The baneful effect of this specula-
tive manipulation of cotton is a mat
ter for serious concern and for which
there can be no justification whatso-
ever. The force of these considera-
tons should surely be sufficient to
justify some concerted and united ac-
ton towards putting a stop to the
gambling operations which infflict such
widespread suffering and injury up
on so many and such important inter-
ests.''
In referring TO the cotton manufac-
turing in the South, President Walm-
sley said: I'VE warmly congratulate
the South upon the great development
Of it's natural and industrial resources.
There is surely ample room for both
North and South. The supremacy Of
cotton manufacturing in New Eng
land will continue to be unassailable.'
A resolution was adopted requesting
the State Department at Washington
to give the association all possible in
formation in regard to the need Of
foreign countries in the cotton market.
This is understood to indicate that the
New England manufacturers will pay
more attention than hitherto to the
expectation of cotton goods.

New York, Sept. 20.--The special re-

the Journal of Commerce at the end
of September show decline of Ills
points during the month This leaves
a condition of SIS points, compared
with 64.7 same date in 1902 and 635 in

Every state showed unusual deteri-
grafton during the month, especially
Texas, where a drop of 17.6 points is
indicated. The remarks of many of
our correspondents suggest still
greater decline. but their estimates re-
duced to figures gives result stated.
These declines of 17.6 points for Texas
and nearly Il points for the entire cot

deterioration in any September on rec
