the work is dragging somewhat on
that account.

A Runaway Accident on Liberty
Street.
Saturday night about S o'clock Mr.
Murray Nelson had rather a terrify?
ing accident while on his way back to
his work from supper. The left shaft
came loose at the axle, which caused
the right wheel to be pulled up on
the horse, starting him to kick and
run. This happened near Main street
and the horse dashed at full speed un?
til he got to Harvin street, and in
turning the corner he ran against a
post, throwing the driver over the
dashboard for some distance on the
sidewalk. Mr. Nelson had taken Mrs.
J. H. McCollum home, but was alone
when the accident occurred. His arm
was sligthly sprained, but not serious?
ly hurt.

COTTON SHIPMENTS.
The Amount Sent Out From This
Market is Much Less Than
* Last Season.
Up to Monday, the 23d instant, the
Atlantic Coast Line had shipped from
this point 14,280 bales of cotton and
the Southern Railway 4,824, making
a total of 19,104. Up to the same
date 2,7S8 bales of cotton had been
shipped in from nearby points an*i
reshipped without being included in
the receipts of this market, making a
grand total of 21,892 bales forwarded
from Sumter. * *
This shows a heavy falling off as
compared with the shipments last
year. The total shipments last year
were 56,000 bales, and there is no
possibility of the shipments this year
approaching that figure.
ENTIRE TRAINS ADDED.
Phenomenal Enlargement of Ringling
Brother's World's Greatest Shows.
Ringling Brother's World's Greatest
Shows, which will exhibit in Sumter
Friday, Nov. 10, have been enlarged
upon such a broad scale of liberality
as ti almost preclude the description
of its real magnitudcon paper. The
Ringling Brothers, always modern
and progressive, have had for years
the biggest and best show on earth,
yet this season they have more than
tribied their immense amusement en?
terprise by the addition of complete
new trains, hundreds of horses and
people, and by entire new shows. The
crowning feature of these almost un?
limited additions is the grand spec?
tacular and pantomimic production,
"The Field of the Cloth of Gold," in
which are shown twelve hundred
characters, twenty-five hundred mag?
nificent costumes and fifteen carloads
of special scenery. This spectacle is
shown in the largest tent ever made
for a circus-a vast canvass theatre,
arena and aerial enclave, brilliantly
lighted by electricity. The -?mon?
ster free street parade-a glittering
pageant fully three miles in length
is alone worth the amount charged for
the circus proper. It is replete with
new and novel processional attrac?
tions, displaying beautifully carved
and decoated floats representative of
every country on the globe, richly at
tired horsemen from every known na?
tion, and monster herds of elephants
and camels, with a division for
the children, and a full hundred
cages of the rarest wild' animals
known to zoologists. In the arenic
performance the Ringling Brothers
introduce 375 performers, each ono
a premier artist. There are more
than 200 acts in the circus programme
and most of the acts are exclusively
novel and sensational. In the train?
ed animal display the Ringling Broth?
ers present three herds of huge ele?
phant actors, under the direction of
Pearl Souder, troops of cute little
ponies in acts that never fail to please
the children; Harry DeForest's won?
derful leaping dogs; and cake walking
and high school horses in exhibitions
of the highest type of equine intelli?
gence and marvelous new conceptions.
The circus performances is given on
towo stages, in three rings and on a
wide quarter-mile hippodrome track.
Ringling Brothers' World's Greatest
Shows will exh.?:c here ene da3/ or.".
and give performances at 2 o'clock
and S o'c'ock. Admission tickets and
reserved numbered chairs will be sold
at Ringling Brothers' down town tick
30 office at Sibert's Drug Store circus
day at exactly the same price charged
in the ticket wagons on the show?
grounds.
Nature Needs But Little.
?Nature needs only a Little Early
Riser now and then to keep the bow?
els clean and the liver active, and the
system free from bile, headaches, con?
stipation, etc. The famous little pills
"Early Risers" are pleasant in effeet
and perfect in action. They never
gripe or sicken, but tone and strength?
en the liver and kidneys. Sold by all
druggists.
MET$??Om^>X?R
stops ti*? cottglx and Heals lunga
Tho people living along the line
of the Northwestern railroad between
?his city and St. Paul are anxious for
an improvement in the passenger ser?
vice on that road. They want a daily
schedule that will enable them to
come to this city in the morning in
time to connect with the train from
Columbia and return home the same
night, the evening train leaving after
the arrival of the train from Colum?
bia. From statements made it would
appear that the business of the road
would warrant such a schedule.

worst form will soon pass away if you
