CROWDS AT PEE DEE FAIR. Most Successful Day for Annual County Event Held In Gate City. Florence, Nov. 2.?This has been a most successful day for the Pee Dee fair. There have been automo? biles from all of the counties round about lined up arc und the grounds and a number of people coming in m all of the roads. The crowd has .hronged the fair gioJnds all day and very one Is delighted "with the fair. The work of the Julges is practically omplete and a finer lot of exhibits, ill agree, hag not been gotten to? gether before. The poultry show Is big as many fairs devoted entirely to poultry and the exhibits are uu vuully good. In the horse show there Is something doing all the time .every cne of the hundred different elates bave full entries and large crowds have watched the riding and driving, fhe children's riding contest today vas one of the features of the fair. The (Ire works last night and to* night drew a great crowd und the football today had the largest crowd that has ever been In the athletic park. Darlington rather surprised her own people bv the game that she played and Florence has not played a worse game this year, say her critics. The score was 12 to 6 in Florence's favor. The Boy Scouts from Darlington have been here two days as tho guests of the Florence scouts and spent the night In camp on the fair grounds. They seem to enjoy their visit very much. TROOPER DIES ON BORDER. Clarence II. Colcock of Switzerland, S. C.v Dead from Pneumonia. ha Helton American. Nev s of the death of Clarence Hu truenln Colcock, of Switzerland. S. C. a member of the Charleston Light Dragoons, now at Fort Bliss, watt re? ceived here yesterday in a letter from Rl Paso, written Friday by Lieut. Jobr 1*.

Young Colcock was well known in Charleston, where he had many Yi-lends. He enlisted with the Dra? goons while the company was at Camp Moots, at Styx. -T-? liraWb DUO WN (USE TRIED. U. A. Drown, Jr., Charged With Sell? ing Ulliskey. From he Daily Item, Nov, 3. ".The first of three cases against Oes. A. Brown, Jr., for alleged sales of whiskey to detectives operating in Uli, city of Sumter' came up in Re? corder Hnrby's court this morning unc was still In progress at 2 o'clock. The case was being tried by a jury. It was alleged In the warrant and the testimony offered by the witness? es j'or the city was that on the morn? ing of October 21 between 9 and 10 o'clock Brown sold a quart of whisk? ey to L, T. Halioway In T. Poston's bicycle shop on East Liberty street, paying him OH4 dollar and seventy five cents for it. The detectives al? leged In their statement that Brown, Hallow ay and Blackburn, the latter two being the detectives, were the only persons in the store at the time the alleged transaction took place. The detectives stuted that Poston went to the front of the store and was apparently on tho watch for the poll :e. Chief J. R. Sumter was also a witness. The defense offered testimony to show that Brown had received three quai*' of whiskey the night before tho twer ty-flrst. One was taken down to the A. C. L. station by Brown and a frierd of his by the name of Steven? son, where the two hung out until live o'clock next morning, waiting for the olrcus train to come in, and the third quart was taken out of Brown's trunk after they got up about 8:30 in the morning. Brown and Steven? son each took a drink and gave a negro another drink. They then went to Poston's bicycle shop, where the detective asked them for a drink and Brown, Poston, Cato, and the de? tective all took a drink together. They claimed that there was no sale and that Poston and Cato were in the shop all the time the detective re? mained In It and they would have teen neon the sale had It taken place. Tho case was still in progress at 2 o'clock with several more witnesses for the defense? to testify. Brown Found Guilty. At the conclusion of the case the jury returned a Verdict of guilty and Georgs A. Brown, Jr., was sentenced by tho recorder to pay a fine of $100 or to serve 30 days on the gang. Re? corder Harby. Uik,. pronouncing gen--? ience gave Brawn a good lecture and advised him to go to work. Bro-vn later' entered a plea of sullty in tho other two charges against him and Was given a sen? tence of $50 or 30 days on each count. DANGER FROM WILD ANIMALS. Few who see wild animals in cages realize the vast amount of trou? ble, danger and expense necessary to ;et thern there. The greatest danger lies in capturing the wild animals in ?heir rative country. With the John Itobtnson Shows which will give two performances in Sumter November 10 there are several hundred wild ani? mals, most of which were captured in the forest and jungles of their na? tive country. Thero Is no rnoro ticklish or dan? gerous task than trucking lions in the vast Nubian deserts. The scorching inn pours down wlvh such force that ;ow men can stand it. The effect on the eyes is blinding. There is little or no nhade. The wariest and most careful hunter may be tracking an inimal, and at the same time be tracked by the animal he Is seeking, who may spring on him at any mo? ment. For capturing full-grown lions large trips of various forms are used. >ne trap is square, one of the sides lifting upon a spring like the old fashioned mouse trap. This trap is Salted v lth a piece of fresh meat, and is soon as the lion has entered the trap the door shuts down and he is a prisoner. More than a score of lions with the John Robinson Circus were captured In this manner. Elephints are generally caught In ?mows. A number of men surround .he elephant after they have previous? ly formed a circle of fire about the >east. The lire gets closer and closer o the el >phant and finally a noose is I thrown over his head. lie is then ! iccurely tied to a tree and allowed to remain there until quiet. Tame ele bants are then brought into use and ippear to be a sort of persuasive in making the huge animals tractable. In catching snakes various devices are used. One Is to set the grass on Ire in a circle where it is known that nakes have hiding places. As they ush out they are caught In larpe nets mounted on wooden hoops to which Is ittnched a large bag.

Huh man's Ani? mals Take Ribbons at Columbia ami llownce, u Mr. William Collins of Kentucky is in the, city, having just come here from tij Pee Dee Fair at Florence, where he exhibited a number of horses, closing his exhibition tour in this section. Among the horses which he exhibited were Mr. Geo. D. j Shore's horse, Count Zinssendorf, and Emperor* a horse owned by Mr. Geo. T. Little of Camden, and pronounced by the Farmers' Home Journal of Louisville, Ky., as "the best harness horse which has trod Kentucky soil in many a year." Mr. Collins exhibted Mr. Shore's horse at Columbia, where it took tirst in the hve-gaited class open to the world, the combination saddle and harness class and the championship. In this championship class Count Zinzendorf was shown against horses of all other classes. At the State fair Mr. Willie Bult man'is horse, Foxy Phil, took four firsts in walk-trot classes, winning in each event it entered. At Florence Mr. Bultman's horse was also entered and recolved a number of rlbl ns. At the Pee Doe Fair Count Zinzen dorf won five firsts in saddle and com? bination saddle and harness classes and the championship, being shown in the men's classes by Mr. Collins and by Miss Dickey of Virginia in the classes where ladies handled the horses. Miss Dickey showed herself a skilled rider and driver. The horse was sold to Mr. Shore by Mr. Collins about a year ago and has proved a winner in every contest in which he has entered. A matter of interst and much im? portance to the people of this section, especially to lovers of high grade horses and those who wish to raise colts is the fact that Mr. Geo. T. Lit? tle of Camden is the owner of the stallion Emperor, a horse which Mr. Collins and Mr. Shore both state is as near perfect as a horse ever gets to be, or at least as near perfect as any horse they have ever seen. As sviously this horse, which try Mr. Collins to show in icky shows this fall, was everywhere he was ex? hibited ;fis<T tue journals devoted to wrltinr ^ horses were unstinted in |Ahefcr tfSjgti*, Three^charopionflhlpa jn. harnest 'Glasses wsrs won by Emperor in Kentucky at the biggest shows there and; the two championships, at the State fair and at the Pee Dee fair, were won In this State, the horse therefore having five to his credit. It will be of interest here to know that this horse will be shown in the show hero next year. However, the point of chief importance is that the ani? mal Is for breeding purposes, as well us a show horse. ?-r? \ BOLL WEEVIL WILL COVER THE STATE. Andrew C. Moore Tells LcConte So? ciety That Preparation Campaign Should Begin at Once. Columbia, Now 4.?That the boll weevil will eventually cover the entire State of South Carolina, was the opin? ion expressed last night by A. C. Moore, member of the University of South Carolina faculty, in an illumi? nating address to the members of the IiCConte Scientific society. Prof. Moore is a member of the boll weevil commission! recently returned from a trip through the infested States of the South. He said that the weevil would prove a serious factor in the agricultural and economic life of the State and that a great campaign of preparation should begin at once. An account of the findings of the commis? sion was given by Prof. Moore. Prof. Moore said that the weevil was not like an army, but that he would continue as a permanent fac? tor in the agriculture of the State. He advised that the farmers of the State heed the advice of the federal demonstration agents in combating the weevil. Harper Bond Dead. Che ter, Nov. 2.?Harper Bond, who was born 1q Chester and spent most of his life here, being the son of the late Dr. O, J. Bond, dropped dead yesterday at the State hospital it Statesvllle, N. C. Mr. Bond was a young man of genius in the spheres of music and painting, so much so that he had been pronounced by many as one of the leaders, if not the lender, of these two professions in the South. For a number of years he lived in Charlotte, whore he mad-? considerable money in his twin pr ? icssions, saving very little. He had been offered hmdsome salaries to go North hut he preferred to remain in ?he South. Several years since his health was Impaired.

I Miss Lonore Quintette und Jim the World's Greatest Educated Chini lmnovA'e Features of The ilohn Rob iusoifs Ten Big Shows. More or less Action, with some truth has from time to time appeared In newspapers regarding the different Chimpanzees with circuses or shows, but with it all, there was always a tendency to draw upon the press agent's Imagination, until it has be? come a recognised fact today, thai there are a number of chimpanzees with traveling circuses and shows, claiming to be educated. But it remains for Miss Quinette to fully demonstrate to the critics of all ?to t lie bath, tub, y> here he spends-.iio less than from fifteen to thirty min? utes, and would spend longer if he were permitted, as it seems the height of his ambition to take daily dives from the edj;e of the bath tub into it. After his bath and dressing, he partakes of his morning meal which consists of some cereal, some orange juiee, some nuts of BOOM kind, and seme bread and mi'k. After breakfast it is generaly on the carpet Cor a roll with his t'haperone, and then for a bicycle ride; by that time it is time for him to go to the circus iot. Once more he sits down to a table, especially constructed for him, and partakes of lunch; thence to the dressing loom of the John Itobin.-on "KltfG OF BEAW To bo Seen at John Robinson's Circus, Here Xot. % ciitcs, "the public," that Jim is with ant doubt, the nearest to the Missing Link in America today. Miss Quinette has taught Jim all the well known tricks or stunts that will see usually performed by the Chimpanzees with other circuses, and then has perfected him in other little features so true to human life that you wonder for once that you are not looking at some small boy in the pastimes of the youth of today. Jim's daily life is arising In the* - morning from a down couch, at once Circus where he awaits his turn with other performers for his exhibition, which he will positively do twice on j November 10th with the John Robin I son Circus at both afternoon and night performances. When you enter the big menagerie tent of the John Robinson Circus, if you are earlier than 1:45 or 7:45, you will have the chance to personal? ly meet his Royal Chimpanzee High? ness, as he will be there with Miss Quinette for a formal introduction to all his new friends to be.
