wsmm> jrr CAPT. WESEF This marvelous animal act in one of the features of the Sparks Circus, which Is billed to exhibit here Friday, November 28, and the following is the criticism of The New York Morning Telegraph of Saturday, | November 23, 1912, at which time | these wonderful animals were playing J an extended engagement at all the ( largest New York City vaudeville theatres: "The current week the electric ! lights in front of the American Music Hall blazoned forth 'Capt. Wesley's Seals' and they deserved every klllowatt used to flash it. What ? Impresses one most after seeing the wonderful exhibition given by the | seals is the extraordinary patience ! which must have been utilized by I Capt. Wesley to train the seals. Training horses, dogs and monkeys CONFERENCE FOR THE COMMON GOOD (Continued from Page Six.) one is working for himself. The mill people may be right; the bankers may be right, the farmers, the cotton mill owners and the millionaires, I know them all, have stayed in their homes and know their hopes and aspirations. The music and the instruments were all right, too, but there was much wasted melody. The trouble is we do not understand each other. We are working into hatred, discord and passion. The idea lying at the basis of this conference is to get South Carolinians to playing together again. A better time is coming soo to South Carolina, a time when the leader of the orchestra will not seek for discord, but will try to get us nil to playing together again instead of apart, as now. We must know each other better. Sometimes we look at a man in another business or profession and are suspicious of him. But If the orchestra is to be In tune we must know people. The tudy of human people is most in Surestlng. Know people and you will like them. We should know men in all circles and occupations. There is need of patience for the trouble is not always meanness nor "pure cussedness." But like the bandmaster, what we need is to get the players in tune. We should carry this movement down into the community. Its object is to get the people together. The largest meetings ever held in South Carolina have been political, separating people into divisions. At these conferences for the common good, on the other hand, no one man's personality is in view. At campaign meetings the politicians try to emphasize the grievances of the people, rousing them up. There are in fact many real problems which we must settle and settle together. If we had spent the past fifteen years in getting together, if all the talk to which we have listened had been in the right direction, how well it would have been. We need to sum up the significant things, the things I which mean prosperity. We raus; conserve the great permanent resources of the state. These are. first. I a climate in which we can raise two or three crops a year. The climate ami the weather, the speaker said, need no discussion. Our second resource is water power. Mr. Tate described the two dams at Great Falls, which will develop the power of 100,000 horses, or H twenty times as much as all the horses and mules in Lancaster countfep These horses are the common property of all the people. We have in all a million horsepower possession In this state. It never grows old, noi does it require feed nor stable. And we must be careful how we let oui ifV horses go. Write it in the bond 4,The harness is yours but the horsei are ours. They must not be used ex cept. to subserve the interests ol South Carolina." Our third asset is our soil. W( should all ho working to conserve It This should be a subject to bring ui together. The man who works th? soil should have possession of it The greatest thing we can give th< people is a chance to own land. Ii Switzerland fifi per Cent of the farm era own the land. Here in Soutl Carolina 45 per cent of tho farmer are landless. The people constitute the fourtl and greatest ar.set. They are homo gencous people, of the best Anglo Saxon stock. We have not rightl; appreciated the people. In Swltzer land the country is without other af * 4 " nitdtIA I Bet gftve lis peopie, bo mo/ bukd k develop them Into the strongest an beat citizens possible.

Tate then told of the Interes Ing work which had recently bee done in Kentucky by a woman, wh Is a county superintendent of edi cation. She had organized whj were known as moonlight schools an when the experiment began thei were 2,000 grown people In h< county who were Illiterates.

One of the seals gets many laughs by his trick of applauding each stunt by the other seals. He does this by means of his flappers on the sides ol the stand from which he works Capt. Wesley is a young chap of like able personality, and there is s cleanliness and neatness to the entirt act that goes far toward making ii an unusual animal act and a greal favorite with the ladies and chil dren." these night schools who learned t( read her a chapter in it and who als< wrote her a letter. The result wai that at the end of three years then were only seven people in the count; who could not read and write. The health of the people was men tioned as a fifth asset, which also de mands a certain consideration fo much depends on it. There are many little question which separated us and we must no confuse them with the great and im portant issues. To illustrate thi idea. Mr. Tate told of the countr band in which one of the members, trombone player, sounded a hig false note which completely broke u the music. When asked by the lead er of the orchestra what the troubl was, he said he mistook a horsefl for a note and tried to play it. Th things which divide our people ar often not real notes but horseflies They are mere trifles in compariso j with the big issues which we hav i been discussing. Then let's tackl the things worth while. I "You people of Lancaster count] ' I like the Red Rose county," sal j Mr. Tate, "the county which was th I birthplace of Andrew Jackson. You j people are of Rood, Scotch-Irish ar cestry. They should no longer kee apart but should get together an discuss the big things of life. Littl things will come to be discounte I when we begin to think about th bigger things of life." A DINNER JINORE. Ef no turkey dish you view 'Possum's good enough fer you!
