GREAT PAINTING To Be a Feature of Fifth National Corn Show. Columbia, November 12:?The longest painting ever executed in this country or abroad, according to authentic statements, will form a striking feature of the decorations for the educational building at the Fifth National Corn exposition here aext January., The canvass for this immense painting will be nearly a sixth of a mile in length, by nine feet wide. It will extend entirely around the big steel building which will house the exhibits from the dejV partment of agriculture and the thirty or more States which will enter the exposition. The canvass will " cover about 7,500 square feet of space, and 538 pounds of dry paints of various colors will be necessary in .v. the execution of the task. The artist who will transform this material into a mammoth work of art is Mr E E Sprague of Columbus, Ohio. Mr Sprague executed a somewhat similiar, though smaller, piece fnr tlio VnnrtK Mstinnnl V >"VUI a 1U1 tliV X VUl VII X1MWV..M. Corn exposition held at Columbus last year. The high artistic quality J, .4 of the work and the wide variety of subjects and scenes, attracted instant attention and aroused wide comment, Mr Sprague is now a resident of Columbia, and is at present superinN tending the erection of the framework for the support of this enormous stretch of canvas. Within the iwnext few days he will begin with his brush and paints upon the titanic task. Mr Sprague will be assisted in this work by his sqn, Mr S B Sprague. The canvas will be divided into thirty or more spaces, into which will be painted landscape scenes typical of the various States whcse ex HiDits, educational ana compeuuve, will be arranged below. kU , * In a Minority of Popular Vote. Prer'dent-elect Wilson is not alone among his predecessors in failing of a majority in the popular vote while commanding an enormous plurality and most of the electoral college. t Within the time when electors have been chosen directly by the people, John Quincy Adams in 1824 gained the Presidency without a majority either of the popular or electoral vote, James K Pplk in 1844 had nearly two-thirds of the electoral college but a minority in the popular vote. Zachary Taylor in 1S48 was outvoted bv the Democrats - - - -: and Free-Soilers. Franklin Pierce had nearly threefourths of the college in the great Democratic sweep of 1852, but a popular majority of only 63,000, Buchanan in 1856 was in a popular minority. Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was heavily in a popular minority. Hayes in 1876 lacked both a popular plurality and majority. v Garfield in 1880 had a plurality of about 7,000 and Vas in a minority of over 300,000. Cleveland in 1884 was in a small minority, though barely elected; and in 1892 was in a minority of nearly 1,000,000 when the Demo/ crats swept the country. Harrison in 1888 was elected by a minority of the total popular vote. The present situation is more exactly comparable with that of 1852 when the Whig party went to pieces, and that of 1860 when the Democratic party went to pieces. It is ? the Republican party which now , . breaks up, and it is largely for the Democracy again in power to say how long that party is to remain a divided majority or a united minority under that or another name.?

A Nigbt to tbe Jungles of Central Africa To hear the thunderous roars of i the man-eating kings of the forest, , to feel their hot breath wafted : ? i i - J . througn tne Darrea winaows ox a tiny cabin in the jungles is certainly j thrilling. J Fritz Brunner, the famous animal trainer with the John H Sparks Shows,which are to exhibit here next i Saturday, November 16, was raised I in a cabin' in the wilds of equatorial | Africa. His father was an agent of i the Royal Zoological Society of Ger, many, and spent many years secur- t | ing specimens for that institution. 1 ' Hence from childhood Mr Brunner j i was accustomed to hear nightly the , i roar of monster lions, the hideous I j tiger's growls and the snarling leop- 1 ards and hyenas,which would engage in deadly combats around the cabin, , often hurling their huge weights < against its frail walls and scamper- 1 ing over its roof. As he grew up in 1 these surroundings he became a < fearless hunter, meeting the wild < denizens of the forest face to face { and engaging in tierce struggles with the infuriated beasts. He af- , terwards became a trainer, and his ] absolute mastery over the brute ere- ? ation is not equaled by any living * man. A large steel enclosure will be erected in the center of the exhibition tent, into which the ferocious animals will be turned loose. Mr Brunner will then enter the enclosure, unarmed, and put them through a remarkable series of performances that will vividly illustrate their tremendous strength and agility. It is a thrilling, hair-raising sight and one that you will never forget. . The programme of the John H Sparks Shows is entirely composed of marvelous, expensive and carefully selected features, which make it so vastly superior to all similar exhibitions. adv A Dispensary For Andrews. t>I ... J: me county UlSpCUBBy UUaiU UJCI, aw . their office on Thursday last fc r the ' purpose of considering the advisa- j bility of establishing a dispensary in ( the town of Andrews. < Two petitions were presented to j the board, one asking for the establishment and another praying that it be not established. We have been reliably informed that those who opposed the opening , of the dispensary asked that they be given a hearing before the board took final action on the matter; that if t)iey were allowed the privilege of appearing before the board they could show good and sufficient reaso/is why the dispensary should not be established, but it seems their request was ignored and the rum shop will be opened at Andrews.?Georgefawn Time*.

"I was in a terrible plight when I began to ] use them,' he writes, "my stomach, head, back and kidneys were all badly affected and my liver was in bad condition, but four bottles of Electric bitters made me feel like a new man." A trial will convince you of their matchless merit for any stomach, liver or kidney trouble.
