To begin with, the cOnjurer takes
from his pocket a piece Of string about
a yard long. He openly cuts this twice,
making three pieces OF equal length.
He next ties these pieces together. and
let's two Of the audience hold the ends,
or he may tie them to two chairs. The
conjurer then throws handkerchiefs
over the two knots. places his hand on
them for a second, whisks the hand
kerchiefs away, disclosing the string
whole and free from knots.
The secret OF this trick lies in the
fact that another piece OF string was
substituted for the piece that had been
cut and Joined. Concealed In his left
pocket the conjurer had a piece OF
string similar in length, whole. but
knotted to give the appearance OF hay-

string into three pieces Of equal
length, then take two short pieces OF
string, and tie one piece tightly at the

A Suit Won That Means The Early
Coming of The Southwestern.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to news and Observer
Marion, N. c., April 2S.-Ex- Gov
ernor Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, de-
livered his famous lecture, Castles 70
The Air" to a large and appreciatiVe
audience in the Opera House last even
ing, under the auspices of the Marion
Lyceum Bureau.
The news has reached Marion that
Mr. Carter has won his suit in the
matter of the Southwestern Railway
Company litigation. This is especially
gratifying to the citizens of this town
for the reason that it means the prac-
teal assurance that the road will soon
be completed to Marion, which will,
possibly, compel the Southern to build
a parallel line.
Attorney l.. c. Sinclair returned
from Jacksonville and ST. Augustine,
Fla, where he had been to bring his
brother-in-law, DR.. White, back home.
Dr. White is much improved by his
trip and his friends look forward to a
rapid recovery.
Marion's municipal election comes
off on Tuesday. SO far it seems that
the only candidate for Mayor is the
present incumbent, Mr.. w. b. Rat
cliff 1t is thought that he will be
elected to succeed himself as will pro-
badly the old board of aldermen.

COT TON FLIES UP
At THE OPENING
An Active and Excited
Market Follows.
THE CLOSE is STEADY
The Final Prices Show an Advance OF
Twenty to Twenty-Six Points.
Higher Prices at Liverpool For
Wheat Strengthen the
Market Here.
(By the Associated Press

New York, April 2S-The cotton
market was active and excited The
opening was strong at an advance of
7WS points when shorts became ac-
tive buyers owing to a strong advance
in the Liverpool Market, fears that
May notices would be promptly stop
ped and private estimates placing the
probable reduction in cotton acreage
at about fourteen per cent. Inside of
thirty minutes after the opening the
general list was about Is to 10 points
net higher when selling promoted
by the unsatisfactory condition of af-
fairs in Wall Street circles caused a
3 or 6 point reduction. On the de-
clines nearby shorts bought feverishly
and prices soon started upward again
with May in the middle of the morn
ing selling at 1871 or &c points over
last nights finals. Notices were still
circulating however, and at the sec
ond advance there was scattering of
bull reported which eased the market
off some 10 or II points from the best
But it was reported in the afternoon
that notices had been stopped by Phil
adelphia spot interests and the market
in the late trading was very firm on
support from lower Wall Street brok-
ers The close was steady within
couple points of the best, at a net
advance of 20m26 points. Sales flu
lures were estimated at half million
bales. The weather South was good.
but receipts ran little smaller, and

New York. April S.-Effective sup
mort TODAY checked the demoralized
tone which threatened the market aho
ouieted the speculative excltemeht
with a result of a subsistence OF aclIV-
itv and a steady tone until sudden ex-
treme weakness again set in in the last
fifteen minutes During the progress
of the recovery the average OF prices
was lifted above last night and some
considerable gains were estabished,
especially in the Northwestern Rallrod-l
group and the trunk lines Prices OF
Americans in London were lltted con
siderably above last night and there
was liberal buying in New York for
foreign account after the trading be-
gan. but these gains quickly disappear
ed under the flood of liquidation,
which came into the market from al
quarters 1t was only by the most
vigorous make sures of support that
the market was saved from demoflu-
Zation again during the first hour. The
chief fear Of speculative holders eYl-
IDENTIFY was the instability of the mar
,ket rather than any actual develop
mentS affecting values, and when the
support had demonstrated its effective
ness sufficient assurance was impaired
to dissipate the urgent desire to sell.
There was evidently large short IN
terest left open also. While the re-
signation of the head of the Missouri
Pacific system from the Union Pacific
hoard was discussed with seriousness
the effect on the market was lessened
BIZ the relative firmneSs Of Missouri
Pacific and the good support Of Union
Pacific The market continued to snow
q nervous and uncertain undertone in
spite of the marked falling off II
transactions and there seemed a dis
inclination on the part of buyers to
follow the advance in prices. Thc
nervousness of the market was easily
seen from the quick response to the
late break ia Louisville d Nashville te
IA "a. Locomotive and General
Electric also made d1sconcertlnS
plunges. In a very few minutes most
of the gains melted away and the clos
ing was very weak again.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, April 2S.-Spot cotton
in good demand but desirable grades
are very scarce and factors do not
seem to be anxious to put out fresh or
ders. Influenced by the improvement
in New York and an advance of 10
English points in Liverpool, the To-
cal market advanced 1-Sc with sales
of 3.400 bales including $50 to arrive
The futures opened steady at an adj
vance of 10 to IA points in response
to the upward turn in Liverpool, the
ra&aIfce .uh4re b4iag attributed to
heavy buying on American account.
Prominent local operators stopepd no.
tees for IS, 900 bales in4New York and
the opinion seems to be gaining adher-
ents that a strong bull movement is
on. In the trading the trend of prices
was distinctively upward and the
movement comparatively heavy. The
market closed firm within a point or
two of the top.
Net gains q to 25 points more dis
