COL. R. S. TURK DEAD.

Many here were sincerely dis
tressed when on Monday evening
the 9th inst the sad news came
over the wires that Col. Rudolph
Sunnel Turk had passed from the
scenes of this life in the Kings
Daughters Hospital at Staunton, Va,
at $3.50 O'Clock that day.
Col. Turk was born at Middle
brook. Augusta county, Virginia,
on the 9th day of December 1349
making his age 70 years and 9
mos. He was a son of Col. Rudolph
Turk who, at one time, was Sheriff
of Augusta county.
On leaving the Law School of
the University of Virginia in 1873
he settled at Huhtersville, in Poca-
hontas county, where he rose rap
idly and soon became recognized
as we'll qualified successful law
yer, who looked after the interest
OF his clients with fidelity and a
full knowledge of their rights un-
der the> law. He served Pocahon-
tas one or two terms as Prose
cutting Attorney. In 1888 Col.
Turk moved to Wichita, Kansas
where he practiced his profession
In partnership with VIM. H. Carlisle
son of the distinguished John G.
Carlisle. Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Secretary of the
Treasury and U. S. Senator. In
1890 he moved back to Virginia and
established his residence in Staun-
ton. Here he practiced law and
later became editor and publisher
OF the Staunton Spectator which un-
ger MS control spoke no uncertain
sonud on any question. Ilc welded
Il trenchant pen and his editorials
mad pointed9ess and lesson that
no reader could fail to see. While
publishing the Spectator he made
a number of successful deals in tim
Der and lands by which he acuuir-
ed comfortable fortune much of
which he invested in the stock of
the franklin National Bank in Wash
ln8ton, ID. c., Of which he became
Vice President and to. the manage
ment OF which he gave much time
and attention, spending much of
his time in that city.
On December II, 1879 Col. Turk
married Miss Willie Cary, of Lewis
burg, who survives him. She is a
sister of Mrs. Tom Feamster, of our
town, who with her daughter, Miss
Ophelia attended fhe funeral 81
Staunton, on the 8th.
Col. Turk was man of genial
disposition and was always well
come in any company. AS a ra-
conteur he was most entertaining
and could amuse his friends fol
hours with amusing incidents oc-
curing in the courts and the every
day life of men. Turks Stories.

NUMBER 1a
.SuGAR,

Many people are puzzled over
sugar, authorities on the great
staple no less than the everage CON
s''""r. From 35 cents the price i'm
many places has dropped to. half
that figure. At present it is being
sold in Beckley at ~ cents. but
dropping to lower levels.
The very high price and the
grasping tactics Of speculators who
continued to hold immense guam
titles for higher and yet higher
prices are the twin causes of the
break in the market that was as in
cvitable as the law of supply and
demand. News of the high price
sugar was bringing in America
spread to the uttermost parts of
the earth. Seeking the best market.
great cargoes of sugar gravitated
to the United States from all sugar
producing regions. Meanwhile the
hoarderS held on. When carpOes
of sugar from all quarters reached
our ports there came of course the
drop in price. The speculators
were caught short. At once there
was rush to get out from under
before the crash came. The mark
ct was promptly glutted, and whole
Salers with large stocks of high
prlcel sugar faced ruin.
One Bluefield concern sent its
delivery wagons out to retail GUS
toners loaded with sugar and de-
llvered it whether the storekeep-
ers wanted it or not. If they would
not admit it to their stores the sugar
was dumped off OH the sidewalks
IN front of their places. Such were
the frantic efforts to pass the loss
on TO someone else.
None of us wish to see local Job
bers lose heavily on sugar. They
ars naturally trying to protect them
selves. which they have a right to
40. AT best their profits on sugar
have/ been small, and now thew
are losing or certainly not making
anything on it. They are going
through the experience that many
a concern will so through in the
readjustment process.-Rdlciqh Req
