(Editorial in The N. Y. Sun.) In the summer of 1896 the adjust? ment of the affairs of the bankrupt publishing house of C. L. Webster & Company reached a point at which it was desirable to have the testimony of that concern's principal backer That gentleman was In bad health at the time, the weather wai unusually oppressive, and the ordeal which he had to undergo was one from which any man would shrink. Yet he. though suffering acutely every mo? ment and obliged to use the services of an attendant day and night, sub? mitted with the utmost good temper to examination, endeavoring in every way to assist in the disclosure of the exact condition of the firm. That gentleman was Samuel L. ('lemons, and those who were aware of all the circumstances will never forget, nor will they wish to forget, the manner In which he bore the In? quisition and the sincere desire he manifested In every word and tone and attitude to do exact justice to the creditors of the failed company. When the examination was conclud? ed, this brave and honest gentleman still unrestored to health, set out on a lecture trip around the world, not to refill his emptied purse, but to earn money for the payment of debt* of the Arm for which the law ex pll. itly said he was not responsible, but which his conscience accept* d aa personal obligations and his fine sense of honor compelled him to rec? ognize.

Myra Kelly (Mrs. Allan Macnauch ton), affei tionately known tc many thousands of readers as the writer of stories of ghetto children of New York city, who died recently in Tor? quay, Kngland, was born in Dublin, Ireland, about thirty years ago. Ten years or so ago a newspaper man was dining one evening with Dr James T. Kelly, who asked for ad rl?t '..n,,rnlng his daughter's troubles with magazine editors. This seemed like the preface to a famil? iar story?the young woman had lit? erary ability which the editors per? sistently refused to recognize. What was to be done? Hut the story was not along that familiar line. "My daughter Myra." said Dr. Kel? ly when his companion asked how he could help, "is teaching in a down? town east side school. All of us at home have been entertained by her stories of her p jplls and I urged her to write some of them. She was tim? id about It because of the tales of often rejected manuscripts by un? known writers and did not say that she would make the trial. "Unknown to me she did, though, and determined to get over the agony of unanimous rejection as soon as possible, she made three copies of her story and posted one each to three magazine editors. This morn? ing she came to me In dismay with three letters from three eidtors, three checks and three requests for more stories." Dr. Kelly's companion agreed to act as diplomatic agent, saw the three editors, settled the matter of first choice by lot and gave the be? wildered young school teacher's promise of other stories in turn to the other two editors. That was the unusual manner of entrance into the tield of story writing of Myra Kelly, then a teacher in the primary grade of public school No. 14 7, in New York. The opinions of the magazine edi? tors were speedily justified. Renders demanded more stories about "Isl dore Heh?hatosky," there were enthu? siastic encores for further comemnt by "Morris Mojelsky," subscribers would not be denied more of the wis? dom of "Becky Zalmonowsky," and "Patrick Rrennan" whose father had resisted the tide which had swept most of his race away from Poverty hollow, had friends by the thousands among magazine readers. For her first story Myra Kelly was glad to accept $50. Within a year she got $500 for every story she wrote. Out of the Race. The determination of Mr. R. I. Manning, of Sumter, not to enter the race for governor Is a great disap? pointment to his friends and admir? ers through the State, for we must all admit, no matter where our inclina? tions will to go, that Richard I, Man? ning is in every way an ideal man for the high and responsible position of governor, and that he would make one of the best that could be chosen to till that postion. His withdrawal simplifies the political problem, how? ever, and we hope that sooner or la? ter he will offer for the place and that he will be elected. The Above from the Florence 'Times volcet our sentiments exactly. We would like to see Mr. Manning governor Of the State, and we believe WS wilt have that wish gratified some Of these days, as Mr. Manning is not an old man. The retirement of Mr. Manning from the race Will material? ly strengthen Mr. Featherstone, who is the logical candidate for the pro? hibitionists, ami he will get tho pro hlbltloil VOtS that WOUld have been I Mrf for Mr. Manning. The retire? ment of Mr. Maiming Will also ma? terially help Mr. McLeod, who is the only local option candidate in the field. Should the local optlonlsts con c< ntrate on Mr. McLeod solidly he WOUld be I hard man to beat. The other candidates so far an noun.i are Blesse .and Richards. I ".b ase In the final race with Ansel poled nearly forty thousand votes, but it is not thought that lie will pol] over twenty thousand votes in the first primary, which would put him in the second race, where he would be defeated as he was before, R|< hards has his friends and they are working hard for him, but it is HOI likely that be will beat an old i impalgnor like Featherstone end carry the prize. As we see it the race for governor is now between Featherstone and McLeod, We do not believe that later entries will change the situation. -Orangeburg Tim? -t and I democrat.

April 22.?April, 1910, will be long remembered as the month in which an unprecedented action was taken by the Federal au? thorities as to cotton speculation and prices. A Federal grind jury during the week has subpoenaed Messrs. Brown, Ilayne and other members of the so-called bull clique to practical? ly show cause why they should not be indicted for alleged violation of tie provisions of the Sherman act, dealing with restraint of trade. Many prominent members of the cotton trade have been subpoenaed to gwe testimony. Feeling has run high. The bulls claim their opponents in? stigated the government action and look upon tie proceedings as an at? tempt at "welching." Those who up? hold the government's action say thatb y U.'egal contracts with bulls by the mills, trade has been tied up, many mills forced to curtail and many hundreds of operatives thrown out of employment. The effect of this bombshell was at first a sudden de? cline of about $1.60 a bale in the May option but this has since been recovered. Cotton exchange seats, however, have fallen off 13,000, the latest sale being at $12,000. Some fear that the validity of the New York contract may be affected by the proceedings whatever may be the Issue, especial? ly should the bulls be indicted. It is supposed by many to be In the main a fight between New Orleans and Chicago bulls against well known New York and Philadelphia spot in? terests and their following. Mean? time large quantities of cotton are ar? riving from Liverpool, apparently brought here to fight the May deal Bears claim that these importations are without loss. Bulls, including Mr. Patten, assert that they mean a loss of $4 or more a bale. Bulls contend that there is no cor? ner because the May option here is practically lower than the price of spot cotton at New Orleans. They want to know why all spot dealers and planters at the South are nor. in? dicted for holding cotton at. orlces relatively above those ruling at New York and say that high prices are due to the small crop lasd season. Meantime the crop news is in the main favorable. Recent rains in the Southwest were very beneficial for the coming season. The acreage, it is believed, will he greatly increased. Dry goods are quiet. So is the spot cotton at the South. Speculation has received a blow. Prices are still very much higher than last year. Bears think there will be cotton enough. New York, Chi? cago, Liverpool and the South have sold here to a greater or less extent. Bulls, however, have sustained prices from time to time. Large spot inter ets have been reported buyers of May and July. Utlca, N. Y., mills now are running on full time. Frost has de? layed planting or caused some re? planting, it is said, in parts of the Southwest. Manchester sent cheerful reports in regard to its trade. Some spot dealers at the South, unable to fill their contracts owing to ruling high prices, have announced their suspension. Covering in New York against these failures has caused brief rallies. Taking the week as a whole the net changes are trifling, however. Everybody is awaiting the issue of the government's action, and meantime the trading is light. A DEAD STOMACH. Of What Use Is It?
