DEAD ROBBER WAS
IN THE HERO CLASS!

NEW YORK, March, 5.-(SpeciaD -
Scar" Reilly, thief, fulfilled the pre-
dictions of the police this morning
He died with his boots on, gun in
hand, in the saloon of Thomas F.
Craven, man he nad gone to rob
The saloOnkeeper caught him red
handed, and killed him where he
stood. Scar had opened the till and
was in the act of transferring the
contents to his own pockets when
his long career of crime was ended
The lights and shades in his char
acter were very uneven. He had re-
ceiVed many sentences for robbery
and many medals for saving lives.
He was at once rogue, the most
cunning among thieves, the ever
lasting bane of the police, master
mind of the "Humpty Jackson" and
the Forty Thieves" and hero. Many
a time a policeman had hurried to
the water front, to find that a man or
woman had been dragged ashore by
a husky young fellow who Ieaped from
the stringplace without waiting to
shed his jacket.
And who was the rescuer?" was
the inevitable question.
''Why, Scar Reilly. You know Scar
Reilly, don't you? He will steal a
stick of candy from a sleeping child,
will Scar Reilly. He's the meanest,
dirtiest, crOkedest son of sin we
know, but by -, sir, he's a hero"

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, March 5.-There was
nothing in the cables to inspire bull
ish enthusiasm. Prices were some
better than due and spot business
was good. On this side, attention
was centered on what the bulls lead
er were planning. Nothing happen
ed over night to change the situation
in the market but some buying was
in evidence early by the foreigners
and by the bull leaders, presumably
for bringing about rise to sell la
ter. There was nothing definite out
on ginning figures and rumor that
the figures were larger than expected
caused little selling, but not i'm
portant. The spot situation remain
ed as it has been with demanded
scarce and holders off. The move
ment is favoring the bull side but
there is not enough demand to inspire
hope of much higher prices. Senti-
ment favors selling the market on
hard spots. Weather in belt is gen
orally favorable, but unsettled wea-
Their is indicated in next few days.

Uncle Remus For March

There is remarkable variety to the
contents of Uncle Remus's Magazine
for March, which issue shows a dis
tlnct Improvement in appearance
over it's predecessors.
In his monthly editorial department
Joel Chandler Harris discusses THE
Blue-Jay in Vaudeville" 1t is a ma
-ture and human-nature study of the
most unusual sort, and is marked by
the delicacy of perception and keen
ness of appreciation that have made
his other editorials so delightful. The
other contribution from Mr. Harris Is
a discussion of Fathers and Sons" by
Mr.. Billy Sanders, the Sage of Shady
Dale. The old Georgia cracker gets
rather heated in commenting on the
tendency toward paternalism in gov
eminent, and argues that Solomon
tore the bottom of the basket" and
solved the whole problem of child
rearing when he said, Spare the rod
and spoil the child"
A feature of more than ordinary in
terest is furnished by Walter Hale in
"The Passing of the Old New Or
leans"
Dr. r. j. Massey contributes an
article with the CORRESPONDING title
of "Abiselfas, lizards and Amper-
sands" It tells of Georgia during
the early part of the last century.
The third installment of What l
Know of the Ku Klux Klan," by
John G. Reed, tells how the attempt
of the negroes to burn Lexington was
frustrated and how the Invisible En-
pire became supreme in Oglethorpe.
The fiction of the number is by Os-
car King Davis, Owen Kildare and
Don Marquis.

It's Not Worth While
Chicago Post.J

It's not worth while-the fretting,
The signing, and the woe;
Best spend your time forgetting
Your troubles as they go;
Best look ahead for laughter,
And take no time for tears
The sunny days hereafter
Will make the golden years.
It's not worth while-the grieving
About the chances lost;
What gain are you receiving
The while you count the cost?
Forget them, o forget them!
Look on ahead and smile,
The blue days, though you've me
them,
Are none of them worth while.
It's not worth while-the whining
When things are going wrong,
The mourning and repining-
Mix sunshine with your song!
Come, shake the shade of sadness
And lose the dreams of gloom
Your heart beats time for gladness
So give it lots of room!

COTTON VALUES
TO LOWER LEVEL
Mixed Lot Sold Locally
Around Basis of Quotations.

An irregular opening marked the
cotton market yesterday. Prices later
firmed up a few points, but eased off
The close was at losses of 4 to 10
points, as compared with the final
for the day before. Liverpool did bet
ter than expected at first, but the
American markets when opened had
drifted lower. The national ginners'
figures were 1882, 900 bales, which
were larger than expected The US
ual heaviness afflicted the market in
the afternoon. March was easy at
the close
New York opened 1 lower for Oct
ober to higher for May. The months
moved irregularly, but all positions
passed the previous close during the
morning. In the late session prices
we're on the decline, but firmed up at
the last, which was steady, to 6
points below the final for Wednesday.
Spots were marked down 10 points.
New Orleans opened points lower
for October to higher for March.
The market rallied and reacted in
narrow limits. The greatest weak
ness was in the last hour, but after
the close at New York, an improve
ment was made in May and July.
The final was steady, 4 to 10 points
below the close for the day before.
Spots were reduced lice.
Liverpool opened to points low
er, being due down. A small i'm
provement had been made at the ear
ly afternoon call in some positions.
but a small break occurred before
the close, which was barely steady,
5 to Z points below the last figures
for Wednesday. The market is due
l point lower this morning. Spots
were reduced points, but sales of
10000 bales were again reported for
the fourth day in succession
Locally trading was small. A med
ium lot of mixed grades sold, at
prices ranging from for the poorest
to II 3-8 cents for good middling.
But the demand was easily satisfied
and the market was without further
sign of animation. Quotations are
unchanged from Wednesday.

MEETING OF FRUIT MEN
TAKES PLACE TODAY

A meeting of the members of the
Sumter County Fruit Growers Asso-
citation will be held this afternoon at
the office of Mr. w. P. Wallis, secre-
tary of the society, at which matters
of interest and Importance will be
discussed. 1t is expected that repre-
sentatives of commission houses and
crate manufacturers will attend the
meeting as well. Several large grow
ers here are members of the society
which, however, does not include all
the large orchard owners in its mem
bership as yet. The orchards about
Americas are now in full bloom and
the prospect of fine fruit crop is
fattering at present. Americas will
ship several hundred thousand crates
peaches and canteloupes this season
if a late freeze does not bring disast-
err to the crop.

The Presidential Situation
IN. o. Daily States)

1t is conceded that Bryan will be
nominated at Denver without opposi-
ton. The choice of the Chicago con-
vention is problematical While it is
admitted that Taft is in the lead for
the nomination on the Republican
side it is a significant fact that the
observation most heard in Wash
ington these days is that the next
President will be either Theodore
Roosevelt or William Jennings Bry-
an. The fact that the third term idea
is again to the fore is due to the
opinion of majority of Republicans
that Roosevelt would command lar
ger following than any other man
they could put up and that his nomi-
nation would be equivalent to an ell
ection
