Immediately after the coronation the Carnival ball will be given in the Armory by the Knights of Pythias. To this ball, to be given in honor of the Queen, all the Knights and their friends are inyited. It' was expected that Governor Mc Sweeney would be present to assist in the coronation. Late yesterday after noon, however, a telegram was re ceived from him stating that owing to sickness, it would be impossible for him to come. THE CARNIVAL. The Tent Shows and the Horns and the Confetti and the'Visitors Have Taken the Town and All Is Well. Since Tuesday afternoon the Carnival has been in full blast and the fun lov ers have been happy. The Midway extends from the public .square down Main street towards the depot two blocks. In all there are eight shows, including the merry-go round and all of them have been draw ing the crowds. Probably the most largely attended so far has been Osco, the snake eater, "the man who eats 'em alive," and he has deserved the crowds which have greeted him and pleased them, or rather satisfied them. He is the genuine ar ticle and seems to enjoy immensely his meals, which include rattle snakes a-d any other old snake. The most popular shows with the la dies and children are Marguerite, The Eruption of Mt. Pelee, and Pearl, all of them good, cleAn shows. Margue rite, the statue turning to life, is lo cated immediately in front of. the court house steps. The illusion is complete, and as the cold statue slowly changes into the beautiful girl and again re sumes the appearance of marble there is wonder among the spectators. Mt. Pelee is next to Marguerite on the public square. Here the eruption of Pelee, the funeral of McKinley and the execution of Czolgosz are repro duced upon canvas by electricity. The illustrated song, "Hello, Central" is well done. Pearl, "the fat girl who measures 82 inches around the waist, weighs 529 pounds is only eleven years of age, and has a father and mother of [normal size, and a sister who weighs only 125," is receiving her share of attention, for which, however, her managers seem to ~be more thankful than the little lady ~herself. One of the most amusing features 'of the Carnival Is the comedian of the Pearl Company, Robert Anglin of Co lumbus, Ga., l!ntter known on every Southern midway for ten weeks past as "Maggie." His make-up as a nig ger wench, his numerous and appro priate costume, his abundant witticism and local hits, never fail to draw and hold the largest crowd on every Mid way. Commencing at Columbia on ten dollars per week and expenses, he has quickly made himself worth to his management twenty-five dollars per week and expenses, something that few young men of nineteen can do in s0 short a time. The Hobo King has been getting in some "daring and death-defying feats" of cycle riding and is deserving the lib eral patronage which he is receiving. The Old Plantation is on the minstrel order and is the place to go for a laugh. Among the f roe street attractions Miss Clark, in her aerial trapeze per performances deserves mention. She seems to feel as much at home in the trapeze acts as If she were on the ground. In addition to the shows, there are stick galleries, shooting galleries, con tti and tin horn stands galore. Ir at, one can fin4 almost anything foi ~h he may be looking. at/'1140ugh For Wedding Cake. the my other cake-and still the besl bread, biscuit and everythning ofhat's what "Clifton" flour is ( nste- d flour that will never din 'Mt 'matter what you use ii sentative of S '4t it.

The following letter from City Attor ney Blease was presented to Mayor J. W. Earhardt at the meeting of city council on Monday night. The letter explains -itself: To the Honorable Jno. W. Earhardt, Mayor of Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir:-I beg leave to call to your attention the fact that a$ presently constituted, three members of your Board of Health reside in Ward 3 and two of them in Ward 4, thus leaving Wards 1, 2 and 5 without representa tion on said Board. The Act of the General Assembly does not specifically state that one member must reslue in each ward, but the intention of the law makers must have been such; besides, since their appointment one member has changed his residence from Ward 5 to 3, another from 2 to 4 and another from 1 to 4, and the fact that they were residents of these wards when ap pointed, I think, shows the intention of the then mayor of having each ward represented, and I feel sure was the intention of the General Assembly, and not to bunch them all together. Cer tainly the interests of the town can best be served if they live in separate wards. The Act reads: "It shall be the duty of the mayor of every incorporated city, town or village, by and with the consent of the city or town council, to appoint five persons in cities of less than 5,000 inhabitants, and in cities ex ceeding 5,000 the number may be in creased to twenty." We have only so far had five, and having five wards, each has been represented. It would not hurt to have a larger body if your Honor deems advisable. There are other matters connected therewith that your Honor might look into. I respectfully recommend that your honorable body, the city council, peti tion the members of the General Assem bly from this county to have the mayor of Newberry, S. C., made ex-offiicio a member of the Board of Health and the Bc.rd of Public Works Commissioners. The reasons for this I will not set out, but future acts will prove to you the expediency of such an Act of the Legis lature. I further recommend that your honor able body, the city council, petition the General Assembly to pass an Act chang ing the length of the terms of the mayor and aldermen to two (2) years instead of one, as now provided. My reasons for this are plain to you with out stating-them here. I am glad to say that during the last year, 1902, we have had no litigation, no appeals, and that everything, so far as the legal department is concerned, passed pleasantly, and I hope profita bly. What opinions I have given have been accepted by the opposite sides and no law suit has followed. In making this report I only act as I feel best for the people of the town and to put your Honor in possession of such facts as I feel you should investigate. I"wish for you a pleasant, successful, and prosperous administration. Respectfully submitted, COLE. L. BLEASE, City Attorney. The letter was received by council as information, and no action will be taken until a communication is received from the Board of Health. Hunter-Sheldon. One of the most beautiful marriages of the season was solemnized at the home of Mr. Jacob B. Fellers on the evening of the 25th of December. Just as the sun had shed its last rays of glimmering light into the far East, and dar,kness was fast o'erspreading the earth, to the beautiful strains of Men delssohn's wedding march, most skil fully rendered by Miss Annie May Bedenbaugh, the bridal party, led by Rev. Mr. Williamson, entered the hand some and beautifully decorated parlor. First came Miss Bessie Wheeler, of Prosperity, and Dr. J. C. Bedenbaugh, of Angusta, followed by Miss Jessie Glenn, of Anderson, and Dr. W. D. Paden, of Newborry, Miss Ethel Pay singer, of Newberry, and Miss Willie Glenn, of Anderson, Miss Minnie Fel lers, of Prosperity, and Dr. Leslie Stribling, of Seneca, Miss Mary Shel don, of Seneca, and Prof. J. E. Hunter, of Clemson College. Then entered the bdde and groom and Rev. Mr. William son eloquently and impressively united Miss Nede Sheldon and Mr. G. F. Hun ter in t.he holy bonds of wedlock. Again the wedding march pealed forth, and the bridal party followed by the guests of the evening who had been so fortunate as to be present upon this happy occasion, repaired to the dining room where an elegant and sumptuous dinner was served. The bride and her attendants were attired in white. I shall not attempt to describe each dress, but sufilee it to say all were lovely. The bride is one of Oconee's fair andi attractive daughters, and the groom is one of Newberry's most sturdy and promising young men. The many beautiful presents the happy coupled received attest the esteem in which they are held by those who know themr best. May they find happiness through out life. T. F. K.

"Rat plenty of pork," was the .dvicc to the consumptive 5o and io0 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsion is the mod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fit in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on th diseased lungs.
