None Greater Than the Great Wal

The Great Wallace Shows will spread their
acres of white canvass in this city on Wednes
day, Oct. lltb.
And if the advance reports are to be be
lieved, the tented institution this season is
one of the largest circuses io America The
press of every city io which tbe sbows have
exhibited have beeo lavish io their praise,
particularly the Pittsburg (Pa.) Chronicle
Telegraph, where the shows appeared a short
lime aga. This great newspaper bas among
other good things the following to say :
The title of "The Greatest Soo w. OD Barth'7
bas been claimed by maoy aggregations
which annually visit this vicinity, bot it is
certain there are nene greater theo the Great
Wallace Shows, wblcn appeared here Monday
and Tuesday of thia week.
Not a feature as advertised was omitted,
and all who attended the permormaoces were
fond io their praises of ? the production aod
the honest way io which the management
conducts the gigantic affair.
The maogemeot also claimed that the
hows are lofty in conception regal, in ap
pointment, aod pare in character. This is all
true, and more especially the latter. There
is nothing ia any of the many and varied
features of this great show to canse a blush
on the' cheek of the most modest.
Indeed, there is no feature of tbe great
combined show which is not first class and
far above the average, and oo one
need hesitate about going and taking
their wives and families or sweet
hearts, and they can rest assured they
will be well entertained. Aoyooe who bas
seen the Great Wallace Shows is sure to go
again, because some of the features are so
novel and startling that OBS could not tire of
seeing them.

Low Freights Help Farmers. \j
Mr. Editor : It is frequently said tbat tbe
Railroad Commissioners have done nothing
but draw with regularity their salaries. I
don't concur in this view. Tn ey bave done
much to equalize and moderate the carrier
charges. Without going into particulars I
I wish simply to draw attention to the fact
j that they have done much for tbe farmers by
tbe recent reduction is tbe freight rate on
cotton.'
It is due to this reduction tbat today the
cotton mil's of toe Ptedmoat section can and
do buy in Sumter and otber points is middle
and lower Carolina. Until this reduction in
freight went into operation the mills could
not buy in this territory. Immediately after
the new rate weot into effect orders fer cotton
were received aod executed here. Thus a
demand from a new source was established
and competition sprang up wh'cb was sharp
aod determined, the result bas been that cot
ton has been J ri o gin g nearly the same prices
io Sumter, as in New York, and actually
higher than at the ports.
The increased price is of direct valoe to
the farmer and he gets the full benefit of tbe
reduced freight rate and also of the competi
tion which bas followed.
It wast stated that the reduction in freight
would operate to the advantage of the cotton
mills, and that the producer would not reap
tbe benefit. This bas not beeo the case. The
, producer has received the benefit of all the
reduction. He receives here tbe price wbicb
the mills pay at their doors, less the freight.
This should be au object lesson for every
otboghtful business mau in this community.
If, by a reduction io freight, higher prices
for cotton have been obtained, bow great
would be the increase io prices if the mills
were at our doors, in our very midst, without
any freight rate to combat 1 And incidental
ly let me add that the increased price of cot
ton is but one of maoy advantages tbat
would result from the establiebmeot of mills
in every locality. For everything tbat can
be grown oo our lauds (and what is there
that caonot be grown here ?) we would have
a steady and sure market. With that condi
tion (a market for al! our products) we could
successfully raise cotton at five cents : our
lands would have a marketable value at all
times, and there would be a healthy pad re
numerative return for energetic and enter
prising management. But I have digressed
from tbe original purpose of this communica
tion wbicb was simply to call attention to
tbe fact that the redaction in tbe cotton rate
bas been of great advantage to tbe farmers
od tbat they recognize aod appreciate tbe
action of the railroad commissioners.
