NEW YORK, May 16.-Today's stock
market encountered a rush of profit
taking sales under which prices occa-
sionally staggered. but in the main con-
tinued the upward course that has char
acterized the dealings for the past six
weeks
The leaders" OF the market were Union
Pacific and Reading. for no particular
reason that was revealed in the mornings
news. The present theory appears to be
that as a 10 per cent dividend payer Union
Pacific is quoted at an unduly low level.
while Reading. with its coal land equities.
Is also regarded as selling too low in
comparison with the other anthracite
properties. At all events speculative in
terest converged upon these two stocks,
as has been the case for a long time past.
The London stock market was irregular.
but American shares. were firm and for
eign houses were buyers on balance in the
local market.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the countrys
trade were the most reassuring exhibits
that have been displayed for some time.
No Interest in Bank Statement.
Little or no attention appeared to be ac-
corded to the prospect that the weekly
bank statement would show the first
check to the rising bank reserves that
has been set forth for several weeks.
Discussion of the movements in partic-
ular stocks would serve no more purpose
than the comment already made upon the
transactions in Union Pacific and Read
ing.
Despite occasional reactions. the mar
ket might be described as uniformly
strong, and there was no disposition to
inquire too closely as to the reasons for
its trend. 1t would. in fact. be necessary
to cover the whole financial history
of the past two months to proffer any
reasonable explanations of the course of
prices.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16-Many specu-
iators said this morning that they were
not disturbed by the reaction that took
place yesterday forenoon and that they
were strongly impressed with the ease
and rapidity with which the market raj
lied In the afternoon. In their opinion
the reaction was no more than could
have naturally been expected. and they
believe. that the present upward move Is
not over. Some conservative students OF
the situation think that prices have gone
high enough for the time being. but even
they admit that they are likely to go still
higher Those who are most optimistic
regarding the present market say that
within recent days the participation by
the public has been more general and ex-
tensive than at any time during the pres
ent movement
-
interests that are expecting q culmina-
ton of the recent advance In prices say
that they do not like the reports that
have come to them within the last few
days from Representatives OF both rail-
road and industrial corporations In which
1t is claimed that considerable amount
of stock in the aggregate that was
bought several months ago by odd-lot in
vestors and transferred to their names
is now coming back for transfer. indicat-
ing that those who bought at the low
prices are taking profits.
II is pointed out that II this class OF
selling Is carried on very long 1t will
bring back to the market q large amount
of stock 1t had been hoped would re-
main for a longer period in the hands OF
Certain bankers who about ten days
ago thought that the market had gone
high enough have changed their opinions
and now say that while 1t may react
rather sharply from time to time they
believe that the tendency will be toward
Improvement and that with the revival OF
business present prices will not seem at
all high. There Is SO much skepticism,
however. in many speculative circles that
it is believed that q severe break Will
be averted.
So far as can be learned even the most
daring operators have operated very eau
tiously from day to day and consequently,
II IL pointed out. the technical position
of the market is much stronger than 1t
usually Is after a change for higher
prices has been In progress for several
weeks.

AS Executor

"The duties and liabili-
ties of a trust company as
executor or administrator
of an estate do not differ
in any wise from those of
an individual acting in like
capacity and are quite def
nitely fixed by law"
The advantages possessed by
trust company for executing
such trusts lie in its perma-
nence. its financial strength, its
especial experience in the work
and especial equipment for the
work. and in that 1t possesses
the combined wisdom and ex-
perience Of many able men.

MAN KILLED
v I'm THE CITY
FRANK BARR SHOT OLIVER
EDWARDS
Iwo Negroes Fell Om bout
WCheatinG in Gambling Barr
Escaped

Oliver Edwards was shot and
almost instantly killed BY Frank
Barr near the Coast Line water
tank about eleven o'clock Satur-

Henry Buchanan, Willie Johnson,
Pink Anderson and Mary Smith,

Saturday night. Some Of them
were gambling and drinking. Barr
called Anderson off and told him
he wanted to borrow his pistol; he
was going off in the country, and
would return the pistol next morn
ing Anderson let him have it.
Barr then went to Edwards and
the two sat down and went to gam
Bling, playing "skin'in the moon
light. Barr passed a soda water
ticket on Edwards and Edwards
accused him of passing bad money.
Barr denied it, and they commenc-
cd cursing each other.~Edwards
threatened to shoot Barr if he did
not give him his money, and Ed
wards put his hand to his hip
pocket. Barr drew a pistol and
shot Edwards. He walked afcw
Steps and fell without speaking.

A Marlboro Man.

The Uppervillc correspondent
Of the Fauquier (Va.,) Democrat
in an account Of Confederate men,
orial exercises. has the following
to say of an address delivered by
Maj. Robert Mcintyre, son Of Col
II G Mcintyre, of Beauty Spot:
"A most eloquent and bchtting
address by Maj. r A Mcintyre,
Of Warrenton, was delivered from
the portico of DR. Rinker's resi-
dence and to say it was enjoyed by
all, is to use a mild term. The
Major was in the pink of condition
and while he was always quite
popular, he added still more laur-
els to his wealth: may he come
oftener."

hard to pay as it goes" So it
has decided to stop going. 1t has
been printed in Charloste at quite
an expense. 1t was up to the Rec
ord to buy an outfit or buy out our
neighbour, the Anglo-Saxon. The
Anglo Saxon didn't wish to sell
and The Record has concluded to
go out of business. All parties
indebted to The Record will please
settle. 1t certainly needs the
money" 1t has sunk" quite a
little bit Of money ard has still
other obligations to meet. If sub.
scribcrs and others who are due it
will pay up The Record will not
have to stand for still further loss.
The Record will pay every cent it
owes. All untitled subscriptions
will be filled by the Anglo-Saxon.
If this is not satisfactory any sub.
scriber a get his or her money
back upon request. We wish to
go out of business with clean
sheet"
The Record has its friends.
They were good to it. 1t appre-
ciates their kindness, and will al.
ways feel kindly toward them.

HOW 1T OCCURRED
Horse That Hurt Negro Boy Was
Frightened by Automobile.

The Advocate has been asked to
correct some errors and omissions
IN the article about the little negro
boy, Willie McGill, getting hurt
last week.
John Wilkinson says that he
was in charge of the peach wagon;
that the negro boy was not driving,
but was going along to assist him.
The wagon was standing in front
of the express Office and Mr. Will
kerson was unloading the peaches
into the express Office. Willie was
holding the horse by the bits and
the lines were lying across a wheel.
Julian McLaurin came along in
his automobile, which scared the
horse. Mr. Wilkerson grabbed
the lines, but the horse jumped
and broke them. Willie then
grabbed the bits with both hands
and held on. After making a few
lunges, the horse, with his knees,
knocked Willie loose, and the
wagon ran over him. His arm
was broken and he received some
bad &ashes on the forehead and
nose.
Willie is now doing very we'll
and seems to be on the road to re-
covery.

MCLEAN VERDICT REVERSED
Railroad Not Responsible for In.
jury to Passenger or Caboose.

Wa w ooSShh0SA ~ OoDoOSSs
The supreme court has reversed
the Darlington Jury which
found q verdict for $4,000 in ia
T6r Of Mrs Agnes b Mclean of
Cheraw, whose son was killed by
the ovcrturning of a caboose, near
Lumber, in 1904.
The evidence showed that the
Darlington baseball team, with
which Mclean was playing, was
going from Darlington to McColl
to play. Some of the boys left the
passenger coach and went on top
of the caboosc, in the ear At
the time Of the accident Mclean,
w Wilcox and Fred Rowe we're
riding on top Of the caboosc. Nc
Lean was fatally injured. He was
brought to Bcnncttsville for treat
mcnt, and afterward carried home
where he died.
The supreme court holds that the
railroad should not be held respon.
siblc for McLcan's death, since he
exposed himself to danger by rid
ing on top Of the caboose, that if
ne had been riding in the passcn-
ger q provided for passengers,
he would not have been hurt, and
that his death was due to his own
negligence and carclcssness, and
not that of the railroad.
A new trial has been ordered.
