A WORTHY AMERICAN.
Mark Twain And the Failure of a
Publishing Company.
(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.

MY HA KELLY, THE WRITER,
How OhHH) Child Lifo PfjpictOff Got
I lor Start as an Author.
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

WICKERSHAM'8 COTTON CASKS.
Unprecedented Action of Government
Wni Feature of Week.
New York. 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.
