They Didn't Have to Change.
During the years in which our pure
laod laws have boen put into effect
there haa been a great hurrying and
?currying oa the part of the food man?
ufacturers to change their methods to
?lake them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con?
spicuous exception. It was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean aa possible and that it was an
Ideal food
It ie eo cheap that any one can af
tt and so nourishing that every?
one needs iL The result of last year's
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats haa been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur?
ance of muscle and brain.
Thta apiendld food is packed in the
regular sise package and in hermet
leaUy sealed tins. The latter espe

GREAT CROWDS AT CIRCUS.

Sumter will be Well represented at
Columbia on Satuday, October 30th,
when the Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth exhibits there on that
date, for a great many of our citizens
have already expressed themselves as
having made up their minds to at?
tend. A glance at the list of wonders
to be seen with this big show would
lead one to believe that the imit in
tremendous size as well as number
of novelties to be seen has finally
been reached. Ham urn & Bailey pre?
sent this year .under their city of 14
acres of tents more things new than
have been offered by all other shows
in years. "Jupiter, the balloon
horse," Karolly's troupe of 16 Hun?
garian coal black stallions, the mu?
sical elephant.', celebrated Konyot
troupe of equestrians, seven troupes
of foreign acrobats, four troupes of
aerlallsts and hundreds of other aren
ic novelties all go to complete a cir
OUa performance that has never been
equalled. The big no nageric has
\ en augmented by the addition of
many new strange beasts and is larg?
er than all the zoological gardens in
this country combined. The street

in all is a fair Index to the wonderful
perfoii Mces that follow.
LAUGH AT COLUMBIA.
Spartanburg Am used Over $10 Lunch
Pro|M)sltion.
The citizens of Spartanburg who re?
ceived invitations to attend the Taft
dinner or luncheon in Columbia and
who were asked to pay the sum of $10
for the privilege of eating with the
president in Columbia, are having a
good deal of fun out of the license fee
part of the Invitation. It is a case of
pay $10 or you will not be allowed
to break bread'at the same table with
Mr. Taft while he is in Columbia on
November 6.
Thera have been dinners and lunch?
eons given to presidents in South Car?
olina and many handsome Invitations
have been sent to out-of-town guests
asking them to grace the occasion,
but never before has an invited guest
been asked to pay for a ticket. The
expenses of the entertainment are gen?
erally supposed to be met by the citi?
zens of the town in which the enter?
tainment is given.
Vr. Taft, the president of tho TTn<
ted Stat'-s, is to be in Charb aton on
y<gffg0lbof ~>. the day before he stops
in Columbia; While in Charleston he
will be royally entertained at a ban?
quet. Imitations have been sent OUl
to citizens in all sections of the State
asking them to be present, meet Mr.
Taft and sit down to the feast with
him. Quite a number of people In
this city have received invitations, but
nothing was said about paying $10 or
any amount. Charlestonians, who do
all things well when It comes to en?
tertaining guests, made provision to
meet expenses. They don't Invite you
to come to see them and then charge
you board.
The committee that has in charge
hte C, C. & O. celebration, has sent
out quite a number of invitations to
prominent citizens in all sections of
the State, asking them to attend the
barbecue that will be given on Oct.
21?. The Invitations were not accom?
panied by a note informing the invit?
ed one that he would be expected to
pay for his ticket. The cash has been
raised to meet all expenses and those
who have received invitations are ex?
pected to be guests in every sense of
the word.?Spartanburg Journal.

United states ami Mexico Grasp
Hands Across' the Rio Grande?
Great Gathering of Americana and
Mexicans at I'll Paso and Jauiez.
El Paso, Texas. Oct. 16.?Custom
rules and regulations were almost
nullified and the line dividing the
republics of the United Stat< s and
Mexico vanished before the enthusias
tic hosts which crossed and recrossf d
the Rio Grande today in the wake of
the chief executives of the neighboring
nations. Cringo and greaser mingled
amicably and all was merry as a
wedding bell announcing the marriage
Of ones warring peoples. Even the
Bona ami Daughters of the Texas Re?
public fOlffOl Santa Ana and the Ala- j
mo long enough to pay rousing tribute
to the gray and grizzled chief magis?
trate of Mexico,
Long before the arrival of Mr. Wil?
liam Howard Taft and Sektor Porflrlo
Dias? an unprecedented crowd bad
gathered in El Paso and Cludad Juar?
ez. They emptied from the Incoming
trains like swarming lucusts and fill
ed the streets, hotels and places of
liquid resort. Swarthy iiexicans,
proud and haughty Spaniards, cowboys
In regulation attire and plain citizens
in store c'? khea rubbed elbows w ith .
dark-eyed senoi'tas and Texas bellen
In the gaily decorated street. And
above and on all sides floated the
Stars and Stripes and the brilliant |
ba tiner of Mexico.
The arrival of President's Tafts
train was the signal for an ovation |
that found expression in shouts of j
welcome which spread in an increas- :
Ing volume of sound all over the city.
President Diaz was greeted fn a man?
ner no less hearty. Bands crashed
a, noisy salute and the players were
nble now and then to make them?
selves hear above the glad acclaim of
the populace. Troops s?rated their
commander in chief, and thousands
3f children joined in singing the na?
tional anthems of the- two Repub?
lics.
After the separate reception at El
Paso and Juarez. President Diaz cross?
ed the bridge to pay the first call upon
President Taft. As the tw/o chief exe?
cutives clasped hands for the first
time, the people almost went mad
with the execitement of the occasion.
It was an historic moment when the
aged but soldierly chief m?.prtst?'^tp of
the Mexicans &ave his hand into the
hearty clasp of rm- portly repiasenta
tvic of cfneie Bast.
ii itaa the first Cime In the htstor)
of the United BtatSS ami 01 Mexico
that the Presidents of the two Repub?
lics have exchanged greetings while in
office. After the formal greeting
President Taft was host to President
Diaz and to the Federal, State and
municipal officers who accompanied
him at a banquet in the Chamber of
Commerce building.
The President and other distinguish?
ed guests vi wed a gorgeous pageant
willeh passed the re vie Wing stand at
12 o'clock. Pands and military of
both Republics were at the head of
the parade, and these were followed
by civjc and fraternal organizations
of both El Paso and Juarez and by
thousands of school children from the
two cities.
Prominent In the line of parade was
the Ohio Society of El Paso, with Its
membership of 300, the members of
which wore buckeye/, a did Presi?
dent Taft
After the parade had passed, Pres?
ident Taft and pYesIdenUal party will
board the palatial train ol Presi?
dent Diuz and will go to Mexico with
him.
In* Juarez President Taft, his Cabi?
net officers and the others of his party
as well as the city officials of El Paso
will be guests at a banquet tendered
by President Diaz.
The Federal government of Mexico
is expending $60,000 in the erection
Of a banquet hall. 71x72 feet, in the
patio of the Federal building. The
decorations of the reception and ban?
quet halls are magnificent.
From the Juarez banquet hall. Pres?
ident Taft will be escorted to the
Chamber of Commerce building in
El Paso, where he will be tendered a
reception by the Ohio Society.
From the Chamber of Commerce bo
will be given a five-mile ride in an au?
tomobile over paved and macadam
streets and roads to the El Paso Coun?
try Club.
In the golf courses the President
will find something unusual at El Pa?
so. Instead Of plodding over a green
course the President will "hike" over
grove doited with greasewood.
After returning to the club for re?
freshments, he will be tendered a re?
ception by the Yale almunl from all
over the Southwest. The President
probably will find time for an Inspec?
tion of the military post and then will
be escorted back to the city.
While President Taft is being en?
tertained on the American Hide In the
afternoon the otttsens of Juarez will
be entertaining their President. Presi?
dent Taft will leave El Paso about 8
0 clock this evening, and President
Ida/, will start soon afU l thai hour on
his homoward trip to Mexico CitV.

I !:K WILD WEST AM) FA It EAST.
Features Wbfcfl Are Promised With
Buffalo Bill s W ild West and Paw?
nee Bill's Greaa Far East Exhibi?
tion,
The union of Buffalo Bill's Wild
West with 1'awnee Bill's Far East
?rings together two great factors in
?iit of-door entertainment. While, of
course, the general style of the comb?
ined entertainment remains the same
hen they were separate units in
public amusement, there will be many
features entirely new to this style of
exhibition. Tfie Far East contingent
will be represented! in an Orienta!
spectacle of great beauty and splendor ;
Introducing the many picturesque
types which Ihfhsbfl the romantic
East. In this- scene and as a partic?
ular feature, Rosf's Musical Ele?
phants, importHd, at an expense of $1,
000 per week, will introduce their re?
markable exhibition; playing various
musical instruments, dancing, and in
other manners evidencing their re?
markable sagacity and wonderful
training. ' n , the \VfM West section,
Col. Wm. Fi Cody, the last of the
great scouts, wffl appear in the saddle
at every p- r!'"rrnance, leading his
Congress of Roughriders in some re?
nt er keb to exn-fbUletm of exeprt horse
manshtpt The eMef scenic feature
will be The^Bnttle of summit Springs,
n reproduction of one of the deciding
conflttos In fmtBan warfare; s bdttle In
which Col.. t'?Mly participated and in
which he shot and killed Chief Tall
BitH. Another pantomimic melo?
drama will be The Great Train Hold
Up by Indians, in which will be de?
picted th<* robbery of a train; a prac?
tical engine, cars, and a realistic and
true-UMffe representation of one of
the many scenes of depredation which
the West haa known. Ina Holiday at
"T-E" Ranch will be pictured the
pleasures and pastimes of the plains?
man, cow boy sports and a dance upon j
the green. Tin- contrast to this scene
of peaceful revelry will be shown in
a sudden attack by Indians. The
Roughriders contingent will display
themselves in difficult feats of horse?
manship, hazardous exhibitions of
skill and a diverting and exhilarating
routine of equestrian expertness and
daring, in short there Is no other en?
tertainment like Far East and Wild
West, and afier twenty-live years be?
fore the public it is more popular than
ever, and is In ev ery way better equip?
ped than it has ever been before.
