MONTH SHOW CONTINUED
GROWTH OF THE CITY.

The valuation of exports from the
port OF Pensacola during the fiscal
year ending June 80 show a decrease
when compared with the business OK
the previous fiscal year, OF several
million dollars. This decrease is due
to large extent to the valuation OF
shipments being OFF to a very marked
extent. The number OF feet of lum-
Der and timber shipped, as we'll as
cotton and naval stores exported
probably were as large as the year
previous, but the market value of each
was far from what it was the year
prior, and cargoes of cotton, which
would have been valued at half q
million dollars q year ago, were
shown on the manifests as being VAL
ued at probably 100000 less.
The total valuation of shipments
from the port was $16,3O6,062, COM
pared with $20,0OO.0OO the previous
year, and S19,000,000 in 1907. Ship
ments went to almost every country
in the world.
The import business showed q
handsome increase, not in revenues
collected as duties, but in the volume
of business handled, a much larger
number of ships coming to port load
ed than in many years previous.
This is particularly true Of mahogany
and kainit.

Jackson, Tenn, July 3--The cases
of the eight night riders, six of whom
were under the death sentence charg-
ed with the murder Of Captain Quen-
tin Rankin at Walnut Log on Reel
foot Lake on October 10 last. were re-
versed by the supreme court today
and were remanded for new trials.
The six men under the death SEN
tence are Garrett Johnson, alleged
leader of the night riders in Obion
county; Arthur Cloar, Fred Pinion,
Sam Applewhite, It'd Burton and Roy
Ransom. The other two are unknown
by name.
When the eight cases were called
in the court the courtroom was
crowded to congestion. Friends and
sympathizers of the accused were
there by the score and excitement
was great. The. prisoners wore an
air of confidence. They greeted their
friends and shook hands with their
attorney, Rice A. Pierce.
The opinion was delivered by the
judge which occupied more than an
hour.
GROUNDS FoK REVERSAL.
In reversing the cases he assigned
two reasons The first was that the
anu Jul lOOAitl IiAC
ments ag6inst the night riders was
not selected in azpropsr manner The
grand jury was selected out panel
by the trial justice, whereas the law
provides that the panel must be chos-
en- by at least three members of the
county court. The second error which
the reversal was based on was shat
the defense was not allowed a Suf-
ficient number of challenges. The
eight were tried on a joint indictment
and the trial court upheld the states
contention that the eight defendants
were only entitled Is the legal num-
Der of challenges, "a, which would ap-
ply if but one man was on trial.
When Justice Craft concluded his
opinion a storm of applause broke out
in the court room but was quickly
stilled by Marshal Deeming and his
deputies. The prisoners Will be tax
en- back to Union City, and an effort
will be made to obtain their release.
The decision comes WITHIN less than
a year after the crime was commit
ted on the night of October 10, 1908,
when Capt Quentin Rankin and Col
R. 2. Taylor were taken from the no
tel at Walnut Log, on the bank OF
Reelfoot Lake by the night riders.
The former was hanged and shot and
the latter escaped as by miracle.
This forms a chapter in the criminal
courts of this state. It's details are
well remembered.
