Cassidy and Gray's Market Letter.
WHEAT-The market displayed a
rather strong front early, commission
houses buying and shorts covering. 1t
appeared that all the bear news sent
out YESTERDAY had been discounted al
though the worlds shipments were
largely over the estimate, with ship
100000 bushels. Some long wheat
! came out on the rallies, and the crowd
We're inclined to be bearish, but a good
sized increase in the visible supply and
large cash sales to millers here and
elsewhere exercised a restraining eff
feet, but 1t was noticeable that outside
buying orders were scarce and dull
ness prevailed for lutte a while. Late
in the day the market turned unex-
pectedly heavy and there was not only
selling Of long wheat, but considerable
bearish pressure as well, with the clos
ing decidedly weak and bears again in
the saddle. Lower cables may be ex-
pected tomorrow from Liverpool and
it is beginning to appear as if the
buying power was limited to such an
extent that it will be a difficult mat
ter to prevent lower prices.
CORN-The market displayed little
strength early. but commission houses
sold, with buying orders scattered and
largely from scaipers. The trade was
limited and rather light, with the
movement small and clearances very
heavy. The market turned unexpect-
eddy weak late in the day; sharp de-
clines takin- place all around, but
should the May kind be forced well
under soc. the same kind of support
that has appeared lately is again like
ly to develop.
oATs-The futures were bid up
sharply early, offerings being very
light, but there was selling of old
May of a good character and with the
movement larger this way from the
west and northwest, it induced selling
operations. The close was weak.
PROFESSIONALISM We're in small
er supply all around and 50@10c high
er. Sharp rallies took place early in
the futures. due to shorts covering, but
realizing sales We're numerous and the
packers sold moderately. The closing
was easy. if not weak and the market
feels the weight of steadily increasing
stocks. We favor sales of product on

Childish Plants.

The one special charge which Mrs.
Locke gave her husband on the eve Of
her departure for a fortnight's visit
to h friend was her fern-her beauti-
fnl. wide-spreading fern. "Don't for
get it while I'm away visiting, will
You. Henry?' she pleaded; and Mr..
Locke answered that the fern should
be forever on his mind till she re-
turned.
Therefore, when on the evening Of
her arrival she noticed with Il start
that the fern was not in its accustom-
ed place, she turned reproachful eyes
on -her husband.
"Now, my dear, let me tell you,"
said Mr.. Locke, glibly, eff ever a man
kept his word, I did. That-er-that
fern was on my mind night and day.
l scarcely ever forgot it. I watered
it-oh, [ must have watered it four or
five times the first two days. 1 want
ed to be sure it had enough.
"Then the water began to run out
or the saucer, so I left it alone
tirely untouched, my dear, for the
next three or four days, just as you
would treat a person who had over
eaten.
"Then when it began to look a TIL
tlc dry | watered it again, very faith
fully; but it began to look curious,
very curious. So [ just took it round
TO the florist, and he said he ii better
look after it for week or so.
"He told me that both Jennings
and Wilkinson had brought their
wives ferns to him the day before
same kind as yours. He says ferns
are something like children-they
miss the person they are used to, nv
dear'
II think very likely they do,'
said his wife, dryly.-Youth IS Com

A Remarkable PRAYER.

Not LONG ago young man, a mere
youth, was run over by street car
on Il crowded street in New York city.
A crowd quickly gathered, and in
the crowd was Il surgeon. He knelt
by the unconscious boy and made an
examination. "Thc boy has been fat
ally injured. lie can live but Il few
minutes. His life is fast ebbing
away,'
On the ontskirtS OF the crowd was
Il gentleman who. at the words. sud
dcEly felt IN impulse To pray. IIc
was not accustomed to praying in
public, but on this occasion he felt
tha' he Just must pray for the SOU,
of the injured boy that was so quick
~ to leave the earth.
Pressing forward, he lifted his hand
and said, "Lat us pray.' All Aca-,
We're barred and most of the crowd
knclt. and the gentleman raised his
voice in earnest prayer to God, ask
ing His mercy and imploring Him to
receive the soul about to pass away
from earth into His care and keep
ing.
AS he finished praying the boy on
the ground opened his eyes and,
smiling through his pain, said,
"Thank you father. Your prayer
makes the going caSier.'
The gentleman looked down-hc
had not looked at the boys face be-
fore-and saw that it was MS own
boy, his only child, that had been
KILLED. And as he looked the boy
closed his eyes and. with a smile still
upon his lips died.
The fathers grief was great, and
1t will abide with him as long as ne
lives. But don't you know that as
Ion" as he lives his sons last words
will ring in his ears. and they will be

fHoeFllle ffcSS and Banner.
The ears do not run or Sunday over
the Due West and Donalds road. but
public sentiment is moving forward.
Sixty years ago good people of that
town didn't want a railroad nearer
than Donalds. The world. like the
sun does move. We notice too that
there is Jaw Of the town against
pleasure riding over the streets Of
that town on Sundays. The church
paper suggests that the next man who
runs an automobile through the
streets Of that town on Sunday be
"pulled" by the town marshal.
When automobiles first began TO run
on our streets. passengers couldn It
connt the heads of citizens that peer
ed through every window. We have
gotten used to them now. We don y
pay more attention to an auto than
we do to the ears that come and 90
or pass by. On Sunday great num-
bcrs OF vehicles are now .een on orr
streets. 1t didn't use to be so in Abb
bevllle, but since we have been look
ing after the religion of the Mcxicans
our own religion has deteriorated. If
our good friends at Due West don It
keep their weather eye on their own
religion they, too, may become care
less.
Can it be that any imrious wretch
IN the section has invaded the vicin-
lty OF the streets Of Due West on the
Sabbath7 If so let nim take warn
ing hereafter, tic his automobile off

Friday, April "A, 1908.

A well informed farmer told us
last Saturday that the farmers of this
county were certainly curtailing their
cotton acreage this year. If he is
speaking advisedly, and the farmers
all over the South would follow
Cherokee>s example, the problem Of
low-priccd cotton would be solved by
the farmer himself, and he would
need no assistance from any source
to get full value for his product
Galfney Ledger.
The great trouble with the farmers
OF the South has been that if they Sc
cured moderately fair price for cot
ton one season. they proceeded to
plant all cotton the next. We hope
this will not be the ease this year.

A Child Studying Itself.
New York Times.

NeW Ork Times.
y child of 6 and a little over, who
lives in one of the northern suburbs,
was observed to be, one day this week,
in solemn cogtiation. AT last her face
lighted up with an obvious conclusion
and she made the enigmatic remark,
addressed to the world at large:
"Why, nobody knows anything about
me except what I say!"
Eager inquiries as to her exact
meaning were at once propounded, but
no explanations were forthcoming,
and the confused replies that were
made indicated only vague glimps-
ing of the ego's isolation-and that
even the vague glimpse had soon been
lost. 1t was, nevertheless, a most
curious little triumph in untraised
psychologizing, for what the child did
say when questioned proved, or at
least indicated, that she had not been
pondering any particular fact or Sc
cret, but things in general and their
relation to herself as an independent
entity.

She Was Particularly Out,

An acquaintance called on some
ladies in an Alabama town who had
at the time been much wearied by an
apparently endless succession of cal
lers.
The door was opend by Augustus
Butts, the faithful old butler.
Are the ladies in?' asked the
caller.
No. ma am trey'sc all out"

cards. - particularly wished to see

strict silence.
Should she not see things as he
wishes ncr to, she may be angry with
him, and he will seize this prctext to
bring about rupture between them.
Anything to save him from con-
Tossing that he has not acted we'll.
Usually the disappointments of wo-
men are the outcome Of mans in
fatuation and false promises.
Were woman not so honest and
SO blind in her love, she would see
through many Of the protestations of
affection made by man, and know his
VOWS for what they are worth.
The silliest thing woman can do is
to cling to the man who wants to have
done with her, and to try to bring
him around to rcciprocate her affec-
ton.
If he is a sentimcntalist he may be
influenced, and VOW that he really
does love her, just to please her. But
this will not alter his affections. He
will shirk the marriage and put it off.
Should he go SO far as the altar. she
is no better off, for doubtless, after
marriage, he will state plainly that he
doesn't care for her, and that ne ONLY
married her because she worried him
into if. Certainly men have queer
ways. and should be brought to book
about their miSdemcanorS.
1t is not wise to surmisc that a
man s love is dead and treat him ac-
eordmgly. BE sure Of it. Bring him
to the point Of saying so. 1t will pay
you to do this, much as you may re-
gret the parting, for man in love
ca nbe gentleness itself, "while he
who loves not can be cruel as the
"rave.'
