The short cast" play has another
aspect, the one that endears It TO the
producing manager. It is the least ex-
penslve OF all forms OF drama While
the original cost for the company, per
capita. may be higher-for each of the
actors must be OF the first rank-not so
many are required, and thus the pay roll
is kept down. The railroad makes no diff
ference in fare 10 high priced or a low
priced actor. and the saving In transpor-
tation is considerable, and another item
OF considerable proportion is saved in the
transportation of scenery and baggage
although Henry Miller used quite as
much scenery as do not a few companies
carrying a big cast) While the public
pays the same 81 a seat for the privilege
OF hearing the play, and this is a most
potent argument in its favor. But the
managers have not gone TO any great ex-
tent in sending out the plays OF this sort
yet Maybe the day will come when they
win be more numerous, but just now the
great American public likes to see the
stage filled with people.

costumeric effect aids the actor, in that
nothing is presented to distract the at
tention Of the audience. and the imagina-
ton. once aroused. is permitted to unin-
terruptedly pursue the thread OF the ar
gument Be this one way or the other.
It will be admitted that the companies
presenting the plays referred to showed
unusual histrionio strength.

The reports Of farmers from var

ties in regard 20 the recent rain is
most fattering. Fortunately, the
heaviest fall was in that portion OF
the county that needed It most.
About Milo the fall was light, but
that portion of the county was no
as badly in need OF rain as many
otner sections. The same is true OF
Hewitt and vicinity-they had light
showers. but nothing like a season
Farmers are highly elated over the
prospects for large crops. They re-
port that farm work is further ad-
vanced now than it ever has been at
this season OF the year and that cot
ton and corn is comparatively free
from grass.
One more good season Of rain, they
aver will assure the largest crops

cotton in hopes of winning the prize
in the cotton contest this fall.

MADE THE FIRST
CONFEDERATE FLAG
TWO LADIES WHO ARE VISITING
IN ARDMoRE MADE FIRST CON-
FEDERATE FLAG.

The first Confederate flag ever
thrown to the breeze was made by
two ladies who are visiting with rela-
tiyes in This city and whose story is
one of extreme interest
Judge L. !. Levy Of Brunswick. Ga;
Mrs. Hardy Sullivan of Corpus Christi.
Texas, and Mrs. James Rawls of Co
lumbia. :. C., are visiting the family
of their nephew, \. Solomon. and the
stories that they have to relate of
the time when this country was rent
asunder by war is more than thrill
ing.
In Columbia. 5. c.. when the ques.
tion of the design for the flag Of the
confederacy was settled upon, Miss
Francis Levy and Miss Isabel Levy
Immediately secured the necessary ma
terial from cloth in their home and set
about constructing the flag. A flag
STAFF sixty feet high was erected and
an immense throng had assembled to
witness the raising of the first flag
of the confederacy. Through some ac-
cident the end of the halyard slipped
and went to the top of the pole where
it remained fast. How to rescue this
vagrant end was problem but finally
a person was secured who climbed
to the Top of the pole and descended
with the halyard to which the flag
was attached and there was raised
over the city of Columbia what was
the first flag ever made for the confed-
crate states.
Judge Levy volunteered his services
to the confederacy and was enrolled
in the 1st South Carolina regiment,
known as the Richland Volunteer
Rifles. He served with this regiment
until he became incapacitated by sick
ness and when emerging from the hos
pital was made transportation agent
OF the confederate states navy in
which capacity he served to the end
of the war The question of furnish
inc salt to the army was a problem in
those stirring days but he managed
/ to secure along the Western and At
/ lantic railway 500 sacks Of the much
needed article.
His recounting of the times that
tried mems sous is most entertain
ing as he was in the service from
first to last and that too, in section
of the south that was practically one
immense battlefield
Though the weight of years begin to
tell on him, yet he is as bright and
active as many far younger men, and
takes keen delight in recountng the
events of other days. He is a gentle
man of the old school, a type that Is
fast vanishing from the new south.
His sisters, Mesdames Sullivan and
Rawls. convinces one that they We're
to the manor born the highest type Of
true southern womanhoOd.
They arrived in this city from Wich-
ita Kan, where they attended re-
union Of relatives at that city. They
will remain here for the balance OF
the week after which Mrs. Sullivan
will go to her home at Corpus Christi,
and Mrs. Rawl will accompany her
brother as far as Atlanta, where they
will seperate, she going to her home
at Columbia, S. c., and he to his home
in Brunswick, Ga.
Judge Levy has two sons in the
newspaper business, being editors and
owners of the Brunswick Daily News,
bright. newsy, well edited and well
patronZed daily.

members of the committee and in ef- feet was as follows:
 Gentlemen were admitted upon the payment of 25c. The ladies were weighed as they entered the hall, and
 their weight placed upon duplicate
 tags; one of these was pinned to the
 lady and the other placed in a box.
 When all had assembled, the gentlemen
 were required to draw a tag from the
 box. If he drew a number that said
 210 he knew that he had drawn no
 lightweight, and he was expected to
 contribute half cent for each pound
 the lady weighed. In this instance his
 dancing partner would cost him Sl.5O.
 The man who drew a dainty 50 pounder
 could have just as much fun for the sum of BOG (not Mex). When the numbers were drawn, the drawees searched among the ladies present un- til they found ladies with tag numbers corresponding to the ones they held The gentleman was then expected to look after the comfort of his duplicate during the evening-see that she had dancing partners and plenty of ice cream and other dainties served for T
 Many amusing incidents occurred. For instance, some of the young gen. tlemen drew married ladies for part ners who were old enough to be their mothers, and gray headed old married men sometimes drew young girls, much to the delight of the men, but not un- mixed joy to their young dance mates J. w. Lesueur was one of the parties who drew the duplicate held by dainty miss of twelve summers.
 The funds from the sale of tickets and ''wSights' is to be applied toward paying for rewards of merit to mem bers of the religion classes of the church. All who succeed in getting 'n the roll of honor during 1911 will nave their pictures taken and hung within the tabernacle. To get on this 'oll will have to be punctual in att endance, have no tardy marks charged lgainst them and the department must 'ass muster. The receipts last night l will be sufficient to pay all expenses f the pictures.
 The hall last night was decorated | with special sets of wax flowers and | 'ther ornaments ordered for the oc- | asiOn.

ALLEGED HIGHWAY
 ROBBERS ARRESTED
Five Negroes Suspected of Implication in Cunning
 ham Robbery

Mamie Tells, Nathan Belton, Thelma Jones. Allen King and Clarence Jones, five negroes, were arrested last night on charges of highway robbery by Off, f1cers Lyons and Vella at Avenue B between Twenty-i first and Twenty-sec- ond streets.
 It Is charged that the negroes held up O. P. Cunningham of Powderly last night and relieved him of a pocketbook containing ST In money, some papers and keys Two of the negroes were identified by MT. Cunningham and the property recovered from them by Off, ficers Lyons and Vella.
 According to MT. Cunning gham's re- port to Officer Lyons he was walking along Avenue B when he was seized by three negroes. He was unable to get away from them and the others relieved him of everything that he had on his person.
 According to Officer Lyons the ne- groes are old offenders and are im- plicated in several hold-ups of sim liar nature. He states that he and officer Simmons have been looking for the negroes for some time. They are badly wanted by other members of the police department on various charges. The catch is regarded as an important one.

IS WILLIE KELLER
 ABOUT TO RETIRE?

Looking over the great Brooklyn cham pionship team of 1900 one is struck with the fact that big proportion of the pen- rlant winners that year have been or are now managers of teams. The pres ent leaders are, Bill Dahlen, Hughey Jennings, Jim Mcclure, Jack Dunn and Joe Kelley The former managers are Jimmy Casey and Tom Daley. The other members of the team were Jimmy Me James, now deceased; Billy Keeler, John Anderson, Roaring Dni' Kennedy, Jim my Hughes, Joe Yeager and Duke Far rell. The latter is with the Giants Yeag- CT is in the minors and the rest are prac- tically out of the game, although Keeler may be with the Torontos. One of the shining lights of the champion Orioles and the pride of the Superbas 10 years ago, he should now Joe holding the man agerial reins over some fast team the same as his old omrades-Dahlen, Jen- nings, Mcclure and Kelley. Keeler never was ambitious to become a manager, pre- ferring to star as a player. It looks now as if he is about to drop out of the game, for he said the other day that he was going to accompany the Torontos to Ma con on the spring trip just to see if he had enough left to continue in harness. The Brooklyn boy was wise and saved enough to make him independent of worry. He can retire now and live com fortably on his income.

COTTON MARKET ID . BE ON NEW FOOTING The Scott Bill HoOdOO Is
 Eliminated TO DECIDE CAMPAIGN Bull Campaign of Summer Months Expected to Be Settled This Week-Statistics to Be Closely Watched
TO DECIDE CAMPAIGN

New Orleans, March 5.-This week the ing than 1t has for several weeks past The Scott bill will no longer be bug bear to scare out weak longs, deter stronger longs from entering the mar ket and encourage short selling. For a long time past every move of conse- quence on the part of the bulls has been blocked by threatened legislation and on the short side will greatly miss the ac- tivities of anti-optionists in Congress.
 TheA majority of traders fully expect the coming week to settle the question of whether there is to be an organized bull campaign in the summer months. The near positions are beginning to show decided strength and this is taken by some to mean that certain interests have already acquired a large long interest Any special buying of May or July will at once be taken as a sign that the cam paign is on.
 Statistics will be closely watched, es- pecially those relating to port and in- terlor stocks. Wilmington closed this last week with a stock of less than 1005 bales and other points gave indications that their stocks were in reality noth- ing but cotton awaiting shipment. Should uncounted points display unmistakable signs of exhaustion of supplies and the weekend figures be of the same trend, the latter part of the week is likely to see excited trading in the old crop months.
 Before long the market will be much of a weather affair and any decided weather developments this week will in- fluence the new crop deliveries imme- diately. Texas has already reported some cotton up and probably more young cot ton will be heard of this week, while planting will be continued in the earlier sections of that state. Should the wealth CT turn warm planting will be quite gen. erai over a large area in spite of the risk from frost and bears will immediate ly seize upon this as a feature that de- mands discounting.
 The three big markets of the cotton world have recently been working into positions where parties have become dis torted. Should this continue this week much straddle or arbitrage trading will result and heavy sales in one market against purchases in another may cause fluctuations that will be hard to explain at the time. Should conditions be fla vorable, commission houses will probably advise their customers to liquidate their holdings in the old crop months and turn their attention to straddles as being safer than wide open trades.
