BOOKS IN OLD ROME.
Trained Slave Copyists Turned Them
Out Quick and Cheap.

Trained Slave Copyists Turned Them
Out Quick and Cheap.
. There were in Augustan Rome es-
tablished publishing houses which not
only turned out large numbers of
books. but many editions of them and
at an incredibly small price. That
their arrangements were businesslike
may be inferred from the testimony
Of Horace. He relates that when an
author failed to please the metropolis
the publishers shipped the entire edi-
ton Of his works to the provinces, and
if he still failed as q writer they made
arrangements to bring them back again
and sell them as paper to the pastry
and spice shops.
One great firm i'm Rome had over
1000 trained slave cOpyists. and their
work was swift and cheap. for Mar
tial writes that they had ready an edi-
ton of n thousand copies of his "Epi-
grams" in just one hour. to be sold at
10 cents copy. The exceedingly
large reading public which all this in
dicates must have been many years in
growing. and one may assume that
Rome had long been a city of readers.
Atticus. the publisher Of Cicero. had n
great many modern methods in the
conduct of his business, and the fact
that Caesars Commentaries" were
very quickly dispatched to the out
posts Of civilization shows that the
machinery Of distribution was also
well organized. Thus we may con-
clude that the advertising and public
ity department was in good shape

Wellington Stewart

The death of Wellington Stewart
OF near Napton, a respected and
wealthy colored citizen, will cause
keen regret to many of our readers
throughout the county. Mr.. Stew
art was an unusual man. Born In
slavery, at liberty only after the
war and with neither education or
money to start with he achieved
wonderful success, leaving a farm
of 230 acres unencumbered as well
as several residences In Napton.
Wellington Stewart was born In
Lynchburg, Virginia, rs years and
three months ago. He died Thurs
day, Nov. .s0th after an eight day
illness Of pneumonia. He came to
Missouri at the age of nine years
as the slave of DIR. Mentor and was
later sold to the Marmadukes near
Arrow Rock, whom he served till
after the war. He then went to
farming on farm adjoining the
Marmaduke farm and by hard work
and careful management and with
the assistance of the surviving wild
ow succeeded In very gratifying
manner. Ffs
He Is survived by six children
William, OF Kansas City; Mrs. Fam
ME Wells, Napton; Mrs. Cora Car
roll, Nelson; DR., t. J. Stewart, st.
Louis Jesse Stewart, Napton; Mrs.
Julia Gregory, williamsburg, Mo.
He was for about twenty years
a faithful member OF the colored
Christian church at Napton and he
lived consistently. His financial
transactions were such that all had
perfect confidence in his promises,
and he had the community's res
pect.
His life should bo an example
and inspiration to the rest Of his
race. bl
Funeral services were held at
the residence Friday AFTERNOON and
the remains laid to rest in Gene
terry near Arrow Rock.

The Mcnamara
Brothers Confess
A Bitter Fight has Sudden
Ending

Los Angeles, Cal, December L.
Suddenly, like the flicking out of
candle the trial Of James b. Nc
Namara came to an end this after
noon in Judge Bordwcll's Court,
with the confession Of the prisoner
at the bar and his brother, John J.
McNarmara, secretary-treasurer of
the Structural Iron Workers and
ridge Builders Union.
so sudden was the turn In the
trial that not even the Judge knew
that the pleas OF guilty were to he
entered to-day, and Malcolm Mac
Laren who has had charge of the
case for the Burns Detective Agen
cy ever since the explosion that
wrecked the Times Building, was
aghast and disconnected.
James B. Mcnamara pleaded gu1
ty to murder In the first degree.
His brother, John J. McNamara, sec
retary Of the International Asso-
citation OF Bridge and strurtural
Iron Workers, entered a plea of
guilty OF having dynamited the
Lacwellyn Iron Works, In Los
Angeles, on Christmas Day, 1910.
Both mems sentences were set
for December 5, when II is expect
ed District Attorney John ID. Fred
ericks will ask for life imprison-
ment for James b. Mcnamara, the
confessed murderer, and probably
fourteen years for his brother. The
mems lives are considered saved.
The great contention that the Los
Angeles Times was not dynamited
Is dead beyond resurrection or ar
gument.
Tonight as the two brothers sat
together In the County Jail, re-
fusing to see any one or make any
statement, an interest second only
to the occurance itself, interest
hung about the question with ref
erence to James B. Mcnamara =
"Why did he confess?"
To this opposing counsel gave
the same answer. "He confessed
because he was guilty and that's
all there is to IT," declared District
Attorney Fredericks.
"He was counseled to confess be-
cause that was the best thing he
could do, In the opinion OF coun-
sell" said Attorney Clarence s. Oar
row, chief OF counsel. ~ will say
now that there was no other reas-
on or motive In IL. I've studied
