I SMITH CHEATER SHOWS | A Bill AGGREGATION. CROWDS FROM TOWN AND C9UNTV THRflNti THE MiOWAY-A GOOD, CLEAN CARNIVAL. Kinj^stree is in tlie hands of flio /?nmiT"sl nn/1 ihic irppb 1 wajn. vai ui > ai uuu wmo ?> . mainly given over to pleasure | and enjoyment. The Smith "Greater Shows is a big aggrega-j Ifcd^ffom^Tgger by far than people HHpFher-' had any idea of?and at NJr night when crowds throng | "the midway," our usually quiet l streets present the appearance ,<4? an exposition, or one of Char-' lesion's justly famous gala weeks. The carnival lias several good shows and fun and frolic reign supreme. There i? something to amuse everyone and displayed at numerous booths are all ? kinds of souvenirs and pretty and useful articles offered for sale. The manager, Mr Smith, and Mr Hewitt, the special ageat, are very courteous, capable and polished gentlemen. In fact, everyone connected with the carnival seems to be affable and obliffinrr and there is a con 0 J spicuous absence of the "skin games'' and immoral exhibitions that disgrace many of the soiM^kdfsant carnivals that infest the H^Ppountry. The Smith Greater |^^NVSbows carry their own electric M^^plant and for the first time in its history Kingstree is lit up HH by electricity. The five or six Poos gasoline engines furnish PPB the motive power and they attract much attention by their ' smooth running- and the power they develop. The ch.'dren are having the time of their lives and the older foUts are not far behind in their enjoyment of our little gala week. The carnival band dis 11 --i. ?L:.L courses excellent music, wuiuii gets into the feet of pedestrians along our smooth cement pave14 ments. , The animal show is about the best exhibition and crowds are daily entertained witnessing the wonderful result of man's dominion over savage beasts. The animals show wonderful training in performing their marvelous feats of skill and sagacity. Zora, illustrating the legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, is very popular and the illusion of the woman turning to stone and back to life is perfect in effect. The old time merry-go-round "V is always crowded and an innovation pleasing to many is the ocean wave carrousel. A freak of nature of curious L interest is "What Is It?" or the I "Missing Link," as it is called. I Half woman, half animal this & creature is certainly an interestH ing study in evolution. The Colored Aristocracy is a W company of black face artists, genuine old time negro minstrels, and are very good in their way. Mystic India gives motion pictures illustrating the life of Jesse James, tne maw-White tragedy, etc. This is a popular show and is well patronized. The contest for the Queen of the Carnival is exciting great interest and enthusiasm. The polls are in various stores and public places and you are priv^ ileged to vote as early and oiten Y as you please. rIhe contest will . v close and the prize?a handsome diamond ring?be awarded in front of the Animal Arena on New Year's eve at 10:30 p. m. \ Dangerous Operation is the removal of the appendix by a surgeon.

T-e ?-)ider's Elastic Appetite, t- .,?>: has a tremendous ap;iii(i Ids gormandizing defies all human competition. A scientist wh<> carefully noted a spider's con- ' sumption <^f food in twenty-four hours con duded that if the spider were buil, proportionately to the human scales he would cat at daybreak, approximately, a small alligator, by ? a. m. a lamb, by 9 a. m. a young camelopard, bv 1 o'clock a sheep and would finish up with a lark pie in which there* were 120 birds. Yet, in spite of his enormous appetite, a spider has wonderful power of refraining from food, and one has been known to live for ten months when absolutely i | deprived of food. A beetle lived in a similar state of unrefreshment for three years. Farming in Japan. The lot of a farmer in Japan does not seem particularly enviable in the eyes of a f ~eigner, but by the Japanese themselves ?,it is generally spoken of as be:~ ^ in some respects more advantageous than that of nost other classes.
