I SMITH CHEATER SHOWS

CROWDS FROM TOWN AND C9UNTV
THRflNti THE MiOWAY-A GOOD,
CLEAN CARNIVAL.

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. No one who takes Dr King's
New Life Pills is ever subjected to
this frightful ordeal. They work so
quietly you don't feel them. They
cure constipation, headache, biliousness
and malaria. 25c. at D C

T-e ?-)ider's Elastic Appetite,

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. The farmer is aore
independent, though often his
-IftffAWaction is due much more
' "-ance of **etter conditions
"Vy '^motives. His
lit v.- 'all lrawbacks, is
healthier thniu *>f sedentary
