A stars job is hard one. Tho
mental strain is even greater than
the physical. For what he undergoes
the fabulous salaries are not fabulous.
Before going into details let us de-
fine a star-the ball players denni-
ton:
"A star Is any player who. through
individual excellence. achieves a rep
utation for brilliant work. thus at
tracing fans to the park to see him
play"
He is a star only so long as his
performances stand out. He Is paid
the salary of star as long as his
reputation brings fans to the stands
and money to the box ONCE. The
day that sees tho waning Of his sen
sationalism also sees the waning Of
his salary.-Edward Lyell Fox in

a we'll known fact that Mr.. L. B. Black

to his excellent printing establish

but we thought it best to make the
correction so that there would be no
doubt as to Mr.. Blackwell's candidacy
or course everybody in the county
knows that Mr.. H. S. Blackwell is a
popular young lawyer at the Lau-
rens bar and naturally leans more to-
wards politics than does Mr.. l.. B.

Washington, April 19.-The Roose-

scrapping over the possession Of the
black and tan" element OF the G. o.

Roosevelt manager claimed he had it;
today Manager Mckinley of the Taft

issued the following statement:

Roosevelt headquarters that they have
received a mssage from C. NJ. Eng

lAURENS NEGRO
ACCUSED OF CRIME

AsheYiIle, n. c. officials Get Strong
Evidence Against Accused Murderer
of Police Officer Mcconnell Last
July. Negro Worked Here for
Some Time.
Attorney j. w. Haynes and Police
Sergeant F. S. Condor, of Asheville.
n. c. spent several days in Laurens
last week on business connected with
rounding up the murderer of Police
officer E. t. Mcconnell in their home
town last July. They were greatly
elated over the excellent evidence OBJ
tanned hre against negro, West
Brewer, alias John Huff whom they
now have in Jail in Asheville Brew
er, who at the time of the murder,
was being carRied by Officer McCon-
nell to the lookup for stealing sew
eral head of cattle near Henderson
vile, was at once suspected and ar
rested for the crime.
For several reasons 1t has been rath-
er hard for the officials to obtain suf-
ficient evidence against Brewer but
the North Carolina officials who were
here are confident now of the neces-
sary evidence for conviction. In Lau-
rens, where the accused negro worked
for some time just after the murder,
Mr.. Haynes stated that they had got
ten sworn statement that Brewer
confessed to another negro that he
was the guilty party. These two of
fcials have spent several months
searching for the negro and later for
evidence, their search being over three
states, North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia.
In speaking to The Advertiser rep
resentative both Mr. Haynes and Of
ficer Condor spoke IN the most com
plimentary terms of the Laurens of
fcers and especially struck with the
efficiency and high intelligence of
Sheriff Owings and Deputy Reid. They
stated that in their trips through the
three states they had not yet seen a
better set of officials than in Laurens.
