Little boys were up early <S Saturday morning to see the cars unload|| ed. Every thing was here from the steam caliope to the elephant blowing a mouth organ, the latter being the first time the musical elephant was ever exhibited here I Very intex-esting sight, seeing an elephant . w blow the mouth organ. \ I Another very Interesting and entertain- i lng feat was that of the sliding pig, Ue- j monstrating how quick pork could go up ( and how high it could go up. The animals consisted for the most part in domesti- ( cated elephants and guileless camels. The j horses were up to standard. ^ The boneless man wiggled around like a j bait worm, and climbed up stairs on his j hands, while the Jap kept the same sticks t and balls in the air by his juglery. The I lady in silk swung up to the top of the 1 tent by her teeth and danced the butter- 1 fly dance in mid air as usual. i The best part of the circus was when the 1 ' mandgpr announced that all little boys I who would run in a foot race around the ring would be given a free ticket to the 1 concert. About twenty-five responded whole heartedly and such a race has not ? been seen since Jehu, son of Nimshi, left ? the track. . There is a strong sentiment in many towns against carnivals, circuses, traveling shows, etc. To refuse to allow such things to come to a town is a nice way for f a town to put a "twist" on its own nose. * Of course no town ought to allow an 1 immoral show to come into its borders. 1 They are more than demoralizing, but good wholesome entertainment is nec- ( essary to health. There is something the 1 matter with the man who never laughs. 1 There is something the matter with the 1 town that allows no shows inside its in- 1 corpo rated limits. People demand entertainment. And if the average town is to be criticised it Bhould be criticised for not furnishing t wholesome, healthful entertainment rather than for not beeping such enter- t tainment out of her borders. The day of the Puritan and Quaker is over for the t present. History will repeat itself after t a -while, but not soon. In* the mean time ' let the cities do the best they can toward j providing relaxation for its inhabitants. c Fifty years f-om now we will have three c holidays where we now have one. Life is * short. Pleasures are but few. The en- a gine never allowed to cool soon wears- a We need to relax oftener than we do. The 0 man "who pooh-poohs at holidays and 1 circuses and street fairs is not the man . who is making his bread by working from Beven to nine. The man who sticks at it from seven to nine six days in a week c needs more relaxation than he gets. % The main objection to the shows is that c they carry so much money away with inem ana leave notnmg to snow xur it. ^ No man needs put one cent into such a thing unless ho wants to. Many delight ^ In spending their money in this way and you and I have no right whatsoever to say that they shall not do so. This objection, that the shows carry away so much money is usually prompted j by selfish motives. Such an objector wishes to get his clutches on the money i himself. He wishes it all to come his t way. r Let the shows come and go. Let them pay a reasonable license as an earnest of good intentions and good behavior, and f let the people be entertained. They de- c mand it. It is neither your prerogative ? nor ours to say that they shall not be ( entertained. If they do not find entertainment at home they will go abroad t after It. ( i ? ; A There is yet some hope for Abbeville? 1 W she is going to have a county fair.?Green- < W wood Journal. It Is hoped that the day is not far distant, when Greenwood will have grown to ? such giant proportions, that the Journal { will not feel impelled to measure her growth by comparison vrtth Abbeville. ] Some of her citizens have compared her , with Atlanta; and for our part we are ^ perfectly content to have her compared with Chicago, New York, London or any other heavy-weight town, just so Abbe- ^ ville Is not used as the yard stick of measurement. Greenwood takes great pride in the number of her automobiles. We will grant her three to our one. She takes piiUC 111 IICI ^JULLUXl UII1JO. UO ?UI grant that her mill population is more 1 than three times that of Abbeville. 1 Greenwood takes great pride in her 1 railroads. We will grant that she has one < road more than Abbeville, and for sake of forever settling the question of superior growth, we will throw in the trolley. Now there is just one thing that we will , not concede, and that is, that Greenwood , or any other town is better satisfied with , itself than is Abbeville, or is worrying j itself less about the affaire of other towns. It may be that it is more the pity that this is true, but it would be hard to find any citizen of the place who will take 1 kindly the commisseration of our neigh* ' bor "The Journal." 1 In all fairness to Abbeville, it should be written, however, that no word of criticism or comparison with Greenwood Is ever uttered here. WViiIa ATiViovillft hnc irrnwn Rtoariilv fnr , fifteen years, our people are not of the ( temperament to take great pride in material growth. It would be much more profitable for Greenwood, then, and much more pleasant for Abbeville, for the former to fix her gaze forward on some town like New York City, than in her minds, eye to be ever gazing backwardfat Abbeville. Some might question whether Greenwood really looks backward at Abbeville, but the point is really not worth arguing., and we concede this with almost anything else j to "The Journal," if it will just quit mak- : ing a yard stick of us.

J. wausun, out to i^uunuiooivuti of Agriculture, will not accept the appointment offered him by the federal government to go abroad to promote the trade of the United States in the far East. For reasons best known to itself the United States Government will not invade the orient, at least not just at present. Verdict For 5,000 dollarsColumbia. Oct. 15.?Five thousand dollars is the amount awarded Mrs. Mary \V. Farmer today by a Richland county common pleas jury, after deliberation extending from two o'clock Friday afternoon until early to-day. This case is unique in South Carolina. Mis. Farmer is the widjow of Constable James P. Farmer, who kvus shot and killed here two years ago by Wade Hampton Sellers, known .is "the Lilind tiger king," because of his.extensive operations in illict liquor traffic. Farmer, search warrant in hand, was slain while seeking access to a house where Sellers boarded. Mrs. Farmer asked the civil courts to award her $25,000 damages aganst Sellers for her husband's taking off. Sellers will probably contest the case further. A righteous Verdict. Why hang a man before he has paid the damages due for his misueeusr xruuiuvu uuiuugt-s 111 ?<.?=>c i of this kind is unusual, it is true, but being unusual does not argue that it is uniust. It may be that when Juries begin to open their eyes to crimes of this kind and begin to award punitive damages, as this Richand county Jury has done, in similar cases it will have the effect or reducing such crimes. "When the railroads kill a man the Juries io not hang the railroads, they pay puni. ive damages. Punitive damages cut both vavs, they effect punishment on the dependent for his misdeed and at the samo ;ime they make restitution in a way to he plaintiff. Mrs. Farmer was awarded $5000 damages R-hile this may not be as much as her husjand was worth to her home, still in a wty t will furnish her brea d which has been iaken from her in the death of her hus>and. We hope to see the verdict of the jury up leld in the suporior court. Let it be known that men will be punished for the taking iway of life unless in a ease of self defense aid the crime will be reduced.

As usual the News has the mater sized up about right. A Spartanburg parent had a teacher in he public schools arrested for whipping lis son. The charge against the teacher ras dismissed, after the case had been widely aired and reviewed. We are not amiliar with much of the evidence in the ase, but it is a safe guess that the boy leserved the flogging and got not a lick oore than he deserved.

Her mother left her for a while in care of her little brother and it is thought she was playing in the tub , of water and fell in. Medical aid was quickly summoned, but that with ?Ul that kind and loving friends could do was too late. She was eleven months old, just , beginning to walk and talk, such a sweet, ] bright child for her age. Oh! how father, mother and two little brothers will miss ' the patter of her little feet, the touch of i her baby hand and the sound of her sweet voice. But weep not dear ones for Lucile is safe in the arms of Jesus. j Free from the blight of sorrow, Fi ee from all pain and care, I j Safe from the worlds temptation, j Sin cannot harm her there.
