CARNIVAL STAYS ANOTHER WEEK. Krause Greater Shows and Borger Aviation Company to Continue Fes? tival?The Royalty Contest. From the Daily Item. Jan. S. The Krause Greater shown and the Berger Aviation company will re* main in Sumter for another week. This waa decided lain) evening. These two amusement attractions have been the victims of unfortunate circumstances by the continued rainy and cold weather for this week. The Krause Greater Shows have demonstrated that their attractions are clean, meri? torious, and deserving of support. On every hand can be heard compliment? ary expressions of approval and kind worde for ths Krauae and the Borger people. Mr. Berger is very anxious to give everyone an opportunity to s*e ' Aviator Rinehardt at his best under i favorable weather conditions. The I aviator can not afford to take a very I great risk during rainy or cloudy I weather as atmospherical conditions during cloudy weather are very differ* I ant high up wtise- air to what they are near the ground. Should gooeVweather prevail next week Mr. RinenVrdt will do some spectacular Mylpg Stunts. He will fly over the entire ( city and suburbs, something he was prevented from do? ing all of this week \>y she bad weath? er.

Queen of the Car? nival contest for the diamond ring, diamond lavall]er*. and brooch, with the consent of lei'majority of the lead? ing contestants who were seen by the committee it w<U decided to continue the contest over to next week as the the Krause Greater Shows and the Herger Aviation Company decided last evening to remain in Sumter next week.

The next pub? lished tabulation of the standing of the contestants will appear next Tues? day evening. Every vote cast between 6 o'clock Friday and 2 o'clock next Tuesday will be counted double. Owing to the rainy weather the contestants and_their friends have been badly handicapped in retting aroupd to vote or solicit votes for their favorites. But with the exten? sion of the contest time there -ought to be some lively work and voting. _' _ M3TCHELL ASSUMES.

Kline, who succeeded the late Mayor Oaynor, and a brief Inaugural address by the new executive. "I caution the new heads of the departments to follow the policy I have outlined for myself, namely, silence for a few months until we have developed our plans further and then come to the people and point to some accomplishment." Mr. Mitchell announced: "I would rather havu the government of this city for the next few months incon? spicuous than have it heralded 'rom day to day in the papers through promises made as to what will be done." ?Pnu you begin to eough at night, just whea yen hope to sleep?
