Dangerous Business
Our stomach and digestive systems
are lined with membrane which it^
delicate, sensitive and easily injured,
k is dangerous .business, then, to use
medicines containing harsh drugs,
salts or minerals, when we are constipated.
In addition ?o the possibility
of injuring the linings of our digestive
system, these medicines give
only temporary relief and may prove
habit forming. The safe way to relieve
constipation is with** Herbine,
the cathartic that is made from herbs,
and acts in the way nature intended.
You can get Herbine at DeKalb Pharmacy,
Camden, S. C.

Rides In Barrel
To His Death

and fortune in causing the death late
today of George L. Stathakis, 4?,

Ms own construction. Thousand* SUw '
the barrel of wood and steel plunge

the barrel or a trace of the man's
body was found.
William (Red) Hill, veteran river
man of Niagara Falls, Ont., engaged
by -Stathakis to haul him out after
the trip, gave up hhpe of finding the
Buffalo man alive.
Hill had predicted the trip would
bring death to Stathakis. So sure
wae he that the man would not live
to tell of his trip that he had George
Morse, Canudiun undertaker, on hand
to care for the body. Hill also had twp
physicians on the lower river
bank in case Stathakis were picked
up alive, but injured.
Before the start, Hill told Stathakjs
he did not believe the bnrrel
would withstand the terrific buffeting
to which it would be subjected.

Ih the Hiff Problem of Owner* of the
Traveling Shown. *
One of the very best ways to low- 1
a lot of money quickly is to start u }
I'ircus. The circus has been more con- !
i?i?tently jfroductiv? of ruin than has
iny other commercial enterprise.
One, and only one, Ringling Brothers '
and Barnum & Bailey Combined
Shows, indisputably the greatest
show on earth, has achieved magni- ,
tude, stability, commercial significance,
according to an article in Fortune,
the business magazine.
Circus is animals. Circus is "art.''
Circus is rolling stock and big top
razorback and band. Circus is everything
you can see and hear upon the
lot-r-arul one thing more. The thing
is not a big name. The. thing, again,
is not perseverance, or more money
when wet tops or other misfortunes
follow the circus.
Nowadays a circus needs ringling.
Kingling is infinite capacity for detail
and for organization; ringling is
forty-odd seasons with at least one
Ringling brother on the lot at each
performance; ringling is knowing the
length of every railroad aiding in the
country and knowing railroad men by |
their first names; ringling is willing
to pay a fortune (said to be $30,000)
for Goliath, the sea elephant, though
no on? thought the animal could survive
two weeks of circus travel. Only
one great American fortune has been
amassed in this precarious enterprise, '
the $50,000,000 plus of John Ringling,>
says the Hartford Courunt.
The first Ringling circus opened in
1884, with twppty-two horses and
eleven wagons, no band wagon, no 1
menagerie, no wild animals. Today !
"Mr. John's" circus has among other
thipgs a pay roll of more than 1,600
people, 735 horses and more than ,
1,000 other animals; 100 double
length railroad cars; over 100 cages, j
dens, tanks, pens and lairs; its own j
doctors, lawyers, dentists, detectives, i
chefs, cooks, waiters, power plant,
over sixty children who travel with it, |
attending school as they go, reciting
to teachers paid by|the circus; a seating
capacity, when on the road, of
15,000.
In a season it will give 400 performances
before a total of about 40,000,000
people. It will gross about
$6,000,000, including income from side
shows and concessions, an average of
$1.50 per customer. It will travel 15,000
miles, and it wiill spend each day
about $18,500, a great deal of it, in
local markets.
There has never been another 100car
circus. There has never been another
so successful. But Mr. John until
last autumn had a rival?the American
Circus Corporation, which controlled
Sells-Floto, Hagenbach-Wallace,
John Robinson, Sparks, and A1
G. Barnes. This consolidation was
able to challenge the power of Mr.
John, though none of the "five units
could challenge the prestige of Mr.
John's 10O-car organization. Mr. John
did not mand. There are enough towns
to go around. There is just one thing
which Mr. John will permit no rival.
Mr. John opens the circus season, and
he opens it atJ Madison Square Garden.
It has been so for a generation.
And this spring, as alwaye, he
came to the Garden. But thereby
hangs a tale of hot words in the offices
of the Garden management. The
tale of the demise of the American
Circus Corporation.
Madison Square Garden was built
as a temple to the padded glove, and
Mr. John helped to build it. One of
Mr. John's jpostt famous discoveries,
Tex Rickard, until he died, was boxing
high priest. Nevertheless, the
Garden in April is Mr. John's. At
least, so thought Mr, John, and so
thought the public.
But Mr. John found otherwise. The
other Madison Square Garden directors
declared flatly to Mr. John;
"You cannot bring your three asterick
circus into the Garden unless you
agree to fold it up each week on Friday
and let us put on a fight. You
cost us important money last year."
Mr. John would not agree. He said he
would .open his season in the old
Twenty-second Armory.
The deal was almost consummated
when it became known that the Garden
officials had made an agreement
with the American Circus Corporation
Sells-Floto would play in the Garden
in the spring. That was the end of the
American Circus Corporation. The
following morning the 150 cars, 4,500
people, 2,000 animals, tents, baggage,
stock, names, in fact the entire peculiar
civilization of their five shoWi
belonged to Mr. John. .
So Mr. John now haa six frontrank
circuses ^nd four, or five carnival
outfits?almdst $10,000,000 wor^h.
Big business. All routing* made from
a single office. You are not apt to reflect
that the preaeboe ot-the Ringling
Brothers and Baitowm A Bailey Combined
Shows at the fair grounds ftf
your town is a certification of the
prosperity of your community.
But your Chamber of Commerce
a"*
....... - ' jm<. ' ?ju
<nowa that Riuglmg statisticians
lave been checking on employment
conditions, crop prospect*, bank deposits,
rail facilities, road conditions
tor months jmtft. If these did not mea'Uie
up to Kingliog requirements Mr.
John would have gone right by you.
Nor are the reports on which he bases
hit. operations out of date. The route
t>f u circus may be changed a do*en
limes during the season.
Mr. John has a circus factory at his
winter quarters at Sarasota, Florida
Ibis summer, while the circus is on
tin* road, next year's big top will be
made. A new one is jxrovided every
year, and $150,000 worth of materials
arxl labor go into the making of this,
the largest stretch of canvas ever
raised, the central roof of a twentyacre
colony. A new tent goes out
twenty-five feet longer than it returns
at the season's end: so much it
shrinks in summer rali>sf
Mr. John pridos himself that once
his big top is pitched it is never in
danger of blowing down; its rortf does
not leak. And this in spite of the
fact that it is always up within an
hour of the arrival on the grounds.
He Vnakes a good living und has, in
most instances, far more comfortable
surroundings than he could provide
for himself otherwise.
l)o animals breed in captivity?
Some do and some do not. Members of
the cat family are mpst prolific, lions,
tigers and panthers frequently presenting
their owners with cubs which
may grow up to be of great exhibition
value. (l
But of elephant calves only two oi
three have been born and successfully
reared in America. Monkeys, it is surprising
to learn, very rarely breed ir
captivity. Probably not more than a
half-dozen monkeys were born in this
country during the past year.
Nine Negroes Freed
Charlotte, July 7.?Nine Cabarrus
county negroes went free from the
Mecklenburg county jail and from
charges of criminally assaulting a
little Cabarrus county girl when she

declared that none of the nine was
her assailant and indicated that she
