The Carnival Here.
Notwithstanding a railroad wreck
and other drawbacks that prevented
the carnival company from arriving
in our city before 11 o'clock Monday.
Mr. Jones, with his usual vim, suc?
ceeded in getting the free shows up
snd four of the paid attractions for
Monday night.
Mai snail s Plantation nhow is un?
doubtedly the best of Its kind on the
road and it will pay any of our peo?
ple well to attend same, as it is clean
and full of fun
Cossett Is great and will keep you
gueesing to tail how he does it.
The electrical theatres are first
class ?In every particular.
The wild animal show is undoubt?
edly the great attraction and we feel
that we are not saying too much when
we say It Is t,he greatest on the road.
A prominent cotton buyer of Sa?
vannah, whp was in the city a few
ago on business, complimented Sum
tor very highly on Its handling of jot
ton. Ho said It was handled w4th
great celerity at the weighing plat
forme and the storage warehouse and
that the men who handle this busi?
ness seemed to knoV their work well
in every detail. He said it was a
pleasure to do Dullness with the cot
tod men here.
The Court House is about ready for
the opening of court next Monday.
Al of the seats have been placed In
poaUlon In the court room. Th' large
doors at the outer entrances 10 the
building were fitted up this morning
with springs so that they may be shut
without banging. The steam heat
radiators are being put In today. The
building will be ready for court with?
in a day or two- and will present a
very neat and tidy appearanca in ad?
dition to Its newness and beauty of
architecture and equipment. * . *
The old Court House la very nearly
dismantled. Supervisor Seale has dis?
posed of all the furnishings and
this morning was preparing to re?
move the remainder of the furnish?
ings, which had not already be^n re
l I
moved, from the building. The pris?
oners' dock will probably be retained
is a souvenir of the old days before
Sumter had an up-to-date court
house. Many a man has been sen?
tenced while standing in this dock,
for it has been there ever since the
'old court house was built.
