The Barnum A Bailey greatest show on earth Is to visit Columbia on Saturday. Oct. 30th. Never since the beginning of time has an amusement enterprise so tre? mendous in size been organized at this one. Its magnitude is almost be? yond belief. All America, together with every foreign country, has been scoured from end to end by agents of this big show in search of novelties and the result is a performance brim full of sensational acts new to the cir? cus world. In the big Barnum & Bailey show are nearly 400 arenlc stars, most of whom are seen now for the first time. A new sensation will be seen at every performance in "Jupiter, the balloon horse." This re? markable animal with Its fearless rid? er ascends to the dome of the circus tent in a ISJlloon and descends to the ground in a shower of fireworks. Nearly 1.000 animal wonders are to be found in the big 108 cage menag? erie, 8 herds of elephants, including one herd that actually plays upon musical instruments in time and tune. A group of giant giraffes, monster trained hippopotamus, only living bl horned rhinoceros and hundreds of other strange beasts. Barnum A Bailey's big, new, free street parade is the most gorgeous processional dis? play ever attempted In the history of circus business. Its tremendous size and wonderful length can only be be? lieved in the actual seeing. It is nat? ural to expect this big circus to lead all others in quality and quantity of Its street spectacle as well as In other departments of the big show, yet nev? er In its splendid history of nearly half a century has it displayed such extravagance as is shown this year. 10-li-lt Item.

Democratttc Leader in Mayoralty Race Reiterates His Statement That Hearst Had Promised to Support Him. New York, Oct. 10.?In a statement full u sting and bite, yet devoid of Invective, vVm. J. Gaynor, the Demo? cratic nominee for mayor of Greater New York, fired his first big projec? tile of the municipal campaign to? night in an attack on Win. Randolph Hearst. Early last week Mr. Hearst issued a statement saying positively that he , would not run for mayor, but would 1 support Justice Gaynor. Two days Ilater he accepted an Ind pendent nomination for the ohTce Surprised at this action. Justice Gaynor issued a brief tatement, charging Hearst with breach of faith, 'and tonight he came out with a state? ment and a letter, purporting to show that Hearst had urged him to run for mayor nearly six months ago "on any ticket," and pledging bis support. To strengthen his itaterai nt, Jus? tice Gaynor first made publh a letter under date of October 9, addressed to him by Randolph Block who oc? cupies an editorial position on the Hearst papers. "He asked you," said Plod*, "if you would not run for mayor In the fall, and said 'I don't care what ticket you run on, I'll support you.* " Judge Gaynor describes Mr. Heart's course as giving hten "the most pain? ful shock I had ever experienced," and as a breach of trust such as he had never encountered before. "It may be that with all his money and newspapers and power, the peo? ple of New York may not let him run over me so easily as he thinks," Judge Gaynor concluded. The preliminary In the case of the State vs. T. P. Ward and W. B. Pier son, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, J. R. Broad? way, prosecutor, was had in Magis? trate Harby's court Saturday. Broad? way was represented by C. L. Cuttlno, Esq., and Officers Ward and Pierson were represented by L. D. Jennings. On the showing made Officer Pierson was discharged and Officer Ward was bound over for trial at the next term of court, his bond being fixed at $200. CLERGY FREER IN FRANCE. Roman Catholics Have More Liberty of Action Than They Enjoyed Un? der the Concordat. London, Oct. 8.?A Paris dispatch to The Times says: Active prepara? tions are being made, both overtly and behind the scenes, by the French Roman Catholics in view of next year's election. The movement is part of the effort, in many respects admirable, and at all events interest? ing, of the Roman Catholics in this country to readjust themselves to the new situation created by the separa? tion law. For the first time in a cen? tury their leaders?the priests, the bishops and the arch-bishops?find themselves free men in possession of the same liberties as are enjoyed by all other French citizens. So long as they lived under the regime of Con? cordat, combination was for them il? legal. It constituted exactly the same kind of breach of the law as was and is the formation of a trade union by any action of the large army of civil servants. The Roman Catholic clergy in a word, are no longer "functionaries," and while by the rupture of their ties' with the State they have perhaps, be? come less independent than ever, In that they are thrust back into the hands of the Vatican and arc deprived of having recourse to the French civil authority in case jof irksome rec? ommendations from Rome, they, nev j ertheless now enjoy a freedom of movement and a right of civic pro? test and intervention which many of I them regard as an inestimable boon, largely compensating for all the dis? advantage entailed by the rupture of the Concordat. , An immediate consequence of this > new situation has been a revival in the French church of that form of practical Apostolate which thrived ; for a time under Leo XIII, after his 1 famous encyclical of "< 891 on the con? dition of the working classes, but ! which neither the eloquence and loy j alty of the great leader of the Roman [ Catholic social movement, the Comte i de Mun, nor the devotion and pollti I cal talent of the "Liberal Catholic" j M. Piou succeeded in maintalng pure ! and unsucceeded lnHgt:-mifff.oDoein : and undeflled and immune from all '{ compromising political passion. 1 The policy of the Vatican has been ! to divert Into profitable channels this , resuscitated energy and at present I under the Impulse given by recent Pontificial orders, in which Pius X I has directed the Roman Catholic in J terests?that Is to say, to sink all I their differences, political and social, i In order to conciliate the sympathy of \ the people?close observers here are j witnessing the first steps in the form? ation of a Roman Catholic party which only the utmost prudence can I prevent from becoming an object of suspicion to the political world and to the great mass of public opinion in France. The more enlightened organs of 4 Roman Catholic opinion here are well aware of the danger lurking in the formation of a Roman Catholic party which shall actively undertake to promote political ends. All the ills that have befallen the church in this country are largely due to Its inter? vention in politics. The bishops, how? ever, are divided as to the best way of realizing the ideas of the Pope. CHARLESTON'S GALA WEEK Will Occur This Year From October 25 to .11. and the ATLANTIC COAST LINE Offers Very Low Kates.
