HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS - Unstinted Applause Follows Perform e ance From Critical Atlanta .. Audiences. a The general concensus of opinion v of the five or six thousand Atlanta a people who attended the afternoon and night performances given by r Howe's Great London Shows is that _ not a cleaner, clever circus ever raised its canvas in Atlanta, and every per son attending the afternoon or even -ing performance will be a walking, stalking advertisement for this show .should "the circus'' come this way e again. I All the horses, all the animals of' a the menagerie, looked trim, well fed s and cared for; the wagons, the eages, f seemed more than mere gold leaf and a, tinsel decorations. From -the ticket t sellers and takers to tahe ushers, and r even the canvas men, 'the circus at , taches appeared neat and courteous. a But, best of all, there wasn't a "grafters'" with the show. For each -dime or dollar spent by the amuse ~ment seekers, either in or abou.t the~ - showy, anL equivalent to the full was i given of entertainment. - There have been large shows in At lanta in past years, circuses that - spread larger tents, needed more cars t for transporting paraphernalia and' exhibits, shows 'that made more pre Stense and blew louder blasts of pub . lici.ty, 'but never one that gave pate - rons more for their money or made a better impression of cleanliness and e decency. To praise in detail all that should be praised would 'be to con a sume columns of spa.e so it can only be said 'that every Howe .attraction was better 'than represented. every~ ring art.ist first slass. every deta.il of t'he circus wholly satisfring. This great circus will visit us on Tuesday. October 27. ,WILL SURVEY ROUTE TO SEA. e Corps of C. C. and 0. 'Engineers to be aLocated at Spartanburg. n*Spartanburg. October 14.-M. J.

Artistic Bronze Statues Crowning the Monument in Each State. The [orm of the Memorial to the Women of the Confederacy, has been decided on and each State of the Con federacy. under the wise plan adopt ed. will -have a monument of the high est artistic l'Sig,1. to mark its appre -eiatiol of these glorious women. The plan selected is that slugested by Gen. C. Irvine Walker, of Charleston, S. C.. which was presented formally at the New Orleans reunion by the committee of which Col. .James Mann, of Norfolk is chairman. It is well that this point is now settled, for the South can know exactly what it is working for. The plan had most ma ture consideration and was adopted as it would give general satisfaction and was most thoroughly practicable. The plan is to secure from the very best artists. a model or design. show ing in the most emblematic and high ly artistic form, what these women did and suffered. portraying the same in a single statue or group of statues, in bronze. It is the artistic work which is the large cost. the casting from the model, is comparatively in expensive. The committee will buy the model and from it will have east, in bronze, enough replicas so t,hat. at least, one can be placed i.n each of the Confederate States. All the casts being from the one model and all delivered at the same time, all will be originals. In each State, a such place as may be hereafter decided, the statues will be erected on appro priate and handsome pedestals. These pedestals will vary, hut all will be similar. in that they will be crowned with the same statue. All through out the South will be seen these spendid memorials and the very uni formity of the crowning statues will show, as they should, that the South as a whole united in paying this mag nificent tribute to the women of tihe South as a whole. The plan has been accepted and en dorsed by all the State conventions of Veterans and Sons to which it has been submitted, by the Confederate Veterans at their New Orleans re union and now decided by the appro val of ithe committee of the sons to whom it was referred at the same reunmon. San Jose Scale. (fl). For preparing lime sulphur wash the following formula is recommend ed: Lime (unsla-ked) .... ....21 pounds Sulphur .... .... ...... 18 pounds Water, to make .... .. ..50 gallons. Boil till the proper color is obtain ed and this will require violent boil ing from 45 minutes to one hour. The proportions of lime and sul phur given aibove are not absolutely imperative but may be varied slightly if convenient, but the directions for mixing and boiling should be followed implicitly. It is difficult to. mix dry sulphur with water, .therefore after the suil phur is weighed out mix it with a small quantity of 'water to form a paste. Heat aibout 15 gallons of wat er in an iron kettle to boiling, -add the sulphur paste to the boiling water and stir thoroughly with a wooden paddle. Whsile this mixture is boil ing, the stone lime, which has been weighed on't previously, is added, the slaking of which causes a violent cooking. The 'boiling liquid should be thoroughly stirred in order to keep the lime and sulphur mixed. When the lime is slaking it 'may be neces saryv to add a small quantity of cold water to prevent boiling over. In no case should cold water be added ex cept just enough to keen the mixture from boiling over. Boiling should be continued until all signs of yellow sulphur have disappeared and the mixture has assumed a greenishm, brick-red color. This may reqjuire an hour' and the boiling should be violent enough So 'that this is accomp)lishled in abont ani hour because long con tinued boiling may injure the liquid. W.hen the proper color has been secur ed tihe mixture is diluted to 50 gal lon<. By boiling we mean a violent .*caoona not a mere smmering. wiere the above method of adding 1he stone lime to the boiling mixtur( is used it will shorten the time re quired for making the wash, but it is necessary to have a kettle of at leasi 25 gallon capacity to make 50 gallons or one barrel of wash. Where a large amount of spraying is to be done ii is of great advantage to enclose the kettle with a brick arch. With a gallon kettle thus closed in 100 gal 14ns of mixture ready to spray can b< ma(' at one boil,iii, and it can b( male fvst enollil to keeT in O)eratiOI tiree barrel pumllps. The brick arel not only gives better draft but is "reat cionveieiCnec on windy days t< those who attend to the kettle. A nother method for preparing th< wa'h. hut slower. is as follows: After slaking the lime add the sul phur and enough water to allow eas: boiling. Boil briskly until the sul phur is dissolved, which should no require longer than an hour. This cai be prepared in any iron kettle sue] as are commonly found on every farm This method is convenient wher the ordinary iron kettle as found of every farm is used. The next article will consider th time and method of sprayii,; and cos of application. A. F. Conradi. News From Pomaria R. F. D. 1. Editor of Herald and News: Dea Sir: Pardon me for- writing so muc] for I just can't help it. Mr. Reuben A. Murphy, of this see tion, has moved to Whitmire, wher lie has put up a jewelry store, makin; wa-tch and clock repairing a special ty. Success is the wish of his man; friends. I went to Peaks and other place clown on Broad river Saturday, Oci 10. and it is an awful sight to se how the poor farmers' crops -hav been destroyed by the recent high wa ters. How it grieves them to thial they have so much corn to buy th coming year and .they are not mak ing any cotton hardly, and what littl they are making they are giving i away to the men who have the money The men who sell corn are not sorr; the corn is destroyed, for they kno they will get to sell we farmers more I saw an old firend of mine and h< told me that he lost his whole crol of corn on Broad river. He said h< would have to buy about one hundre< bushels, as he had old corn enough t< feed him until March. We cannot blame the money me: ~for the way we farmers have to suffe in t'his great calamity, for the men i our union who are able to hold thei cotton they cried out "Hold you cot ton for 15 cents, we will get it.' Tha.t is what threw we poor farmer Iin the hole. They put the price o1 Icotton too steep, for as a farmers un ion we must first erawl and .then walk They made 'a start to walk before tim and now will have to start back t e rawling, and the men who have th Imoney are showing us who will rul the price of .cotton. and now we ar takn c ents for our cotton on ac count of same. Money men and speculators are no to blame for this, we cannot blam them one bit. the farmers could d< if they would. No.w brethren, I beseech you, on' and all, to get ourselves in bette: working harness. Where there is on< man in the union trying to uphold it there are 10 non-union men out sid' of the union that are stumbling blocks Iin trying to tear down instead o; building up the union, so I plead wit] all non-union farmers, instead of be ing stumbl,ing blocks come in the un 'ion and be an aid towards the up liftinz of our union and order, whie] is the greatest thing that has evel presented itself to the poor farmers G. H. Amnick. Pomaria. S. C.. R. F. D. No. 1, Oct 14. 1908. Mr. J. B. Rawls has been bitten b' I hog, which hit his thumb nearly off The correct and only authiorizei Herr W. Savage version of "'Th< D jevil."' Franz Molnr's remnarkabl< n!ad:v. which is creating such a worl< Iwidle sensation, will be presented a the Opera House Friday. Oct. 16, fo the first time. Sonar the play has only been see: in two or three of the larger cities of the United States, but it is already the most diseinssed play of the year. In New York City, where the Henry W. Savage company is now playing to crowded house the Garden Theatre, press and publie -nave been unanimous in acknowledging the wonderful pow er of the play and the singular grip it has upon the minds and consciences of the astonished audiences that wit ness its performances. "Every woman should see this wonderful play," writes Dorothy Dix, in the Evening Journal. "It is a. most astonishing 1performance." says the Herald. "The ) play grips tightly from the first in stant." remarks the Sun. "There were twenty-one curtain calls after the second at for the only authorized - version," declares the American. The i other metropolitiann ewspapers have - been equally emphatic in endorsing t the Molnar play. 1 " The Devil" is original, in as much as it gives an entirely new con eception of his Satanic Majesty. This is a visible devil, and yet a devil that suggests invisibility. It is a devil e that is apparent to the eye, and yet t constantly conveys the idea that the real devil-tfhe devil that tempts and suggests wrong to receptive humanity -is, after all, only a thought in the human brain and heart. r The character of the Devil, as it will be played -here by Joseph Calla han, the well-known American actor, - is the incarnation of evil, masquerad e ing in the dress of the world, and thin ly disguised under the name of "Dr. - Miller.'" His especial prey is Olga v H. Hofmann, the wife of a rich bank er, and Karl Mahler, an artist, who s six years before, in the days of pov erty and struggle, had met and loved. Marriage had separated them, but the e spark of the old passion survives and - when the banker brings his wife to the now successful artist to have her e portrait painted, it bursts into a - flame, and the Devil finds them in a e mood to at least listen to his wicked t suggestions. In his hands they are mere puppets; struggle as they may, they cai.not escape the meshes he weaves for them, and ultimately the evil wish and the evil thought-twhieh, after all, are the Devil-win, and the man and woman lose honor and self respect and-their souls. It is a pow jerful .story, po>werfully to:ld and pow >erfully acted; and every one of the fourteen characters in the play lends itself to the effectiveness of the dra Smatic story. SThe production of "The Devil," e which will be seen -here is the same r in every detail as that presented at the Garden Theatre, and it will be Spresented by permission of Henry W. SSavage, who absolutely controls the -American rights to the play. It is no seeret that several unauthorized ver sions are 'being produced here and Sthere, throug'hout the country, but they have no resemblance to the ori ignal play, which is fully proteeted by copyright. The company will be . equal in every way to that seen in the original production, while t.he scenery, tpainted by Arthur Voegtlin, the fa mous scenic artist who has done so much to make the New York Hippo drome producitions successful, will be a revelation to lovers of beautiful and artistic stage settings. Show-goers here are assured of a r~eat play, a great scenic production and a company of unusual merit. " The Devil,'' and assuredly be the Sbig theatrical event.of the year. Cable Hauling on Manhattan Bridge. -The novel method of cable hauling on the n;ew Man'hattan bride is de scribed in an interesting illustrated article in the November Popular Meehanics. It says: The hauling ropes. each of which is driven by a 50-hp. electric motor, Smove at a speed of approximately .480 ft. p)er minute. earryinig the sheaves across the river in about sev I ,en or eight mpinutes. Allowing for the time used in attaching wires at * each end. about t-bree trips are made I per t'our. It is estimnated that at this t rate the work of hauling will take r four months, some time being consum ed in fixing guide wvires for each
