THE CIRCUS.

Coles New York and New Orleun, Circus
and Menagerie visited Anderson a., billed
on last Tuesday, and with it came q warm
suitry rain and an immense concourse Of
people, white and colored, from all sections
OF Anderson and adjoining counties. The
at the appointed hour an immense con-
course of people assembled at the tent in the
Blue Ridge Railroad yard, and soon filled it
to its uttermost capacity. occupying the
seats and also the standing room. The tent
leaked badly in places, and the continued
tramping of the ground soon made the
whole affair q perfect mud-puddle. The
arrangement for seats was greatly made
9uate to the de'uand for them, and quanti-
ties of lumber was improvised to meet the
demand, but With all that could be done i'm
this direction failed to afford accommoda-
ton to the crowd. and the consequence was
that the audience was more boisterous than
usual at such places. The circus perform.
ance went on under difficulties. The
crowd talkative. The services of the clown
were completely wasted, as he could not be
heard at oil, and hence all who like this
part of circus thought the affair very
poor one, but the riding and acrobatic feats
were marvellous, and equalled any ever pre-
sented IN this place.
The Menagerie, though not as extensive
as some that have been here, contained
number g. 10y fine and rare wild beasts.
The lion. ta mer entered the clge and put his
head ir the lions mouth, and perlormed
other " ~ derful feats.
The department Of the managers of this
Circus was unexceptional, and under favor
able circumstances no doubt it would be- all
that circuses generally are in the way of
mated at from three to four thousand per-
SONS.

Mn. EDIroR: The question of the great
importance and inestimable utility of rail.
roads has long since ceased to be problcmat-
icai. No sane man in this progressive age,
unless he be an incorrigible old fogy of the
worst type, will attempt to controyert the
proposition that railroads are of the first
Importance to our country, both in an agri-
cultural and comi:icrcc::;a; point Of view.
Bnt, sir, railroads are not only of the first
Importance as developers and utilizers of
the agricultural and commercial resources
Of our country, but the great facilities which
they afford In the way of swift transit and
cheap transportation have absolutely become
to us as citizens of Anderson County prime
necessity without which we cannot possibly

tunate competitors in tue irsat progressive
race of agricultural advancement, CONNER

prosperity.
We have not attended any of the public
meetings held in the interest of this great,
inestimable enterprise, but we understand
from your journal that there are meetings
to be held at three different points during
the next eight or ten days to ascertain if the
people living along the line of this prospec-

those living in other sections of the County,
we cannot so very clearly perceive. And
hence, We write not In the Interest of any
particular route, save that of the nearest
and cheapest which will connect Anderson

sidcrdtu'R; the great object which should be

Fattening Crops.

The most complete thing in figures we
nave ever seen, Is the report of the Com
missioner Of Agriculture of Georgia, CDR.
Janes) upon the subject of the relative
Doctor takes the clue from writer in q
Florida paper, and selects five different
articles OF food, and runs comparison
between them as to their rnu.-.tive:value.
IT is asserted that all food must contain
oil, sugar and starch to fatten well. T.a,-
ing corn as the basis. as being the most
universal food for hogs, the Comparison
ls run between corn, peas, sweet potatoes,
chufas and peanuts, and are ranked as
follows In the percentage of oil, the most
valuable ingredient in the food: ohufas.
peanuts, corn, peas, potatoes. The nor,
chufss, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, pea
nuts. Ofstarch they rank thus: peanuts.
corn, peas, chufas, potatoes.
When the proportions of the various
analyses arc consolidated, we find the
following relative value or flesh and fat
producing material: pean uts, corn, chu-
fas. peas, potatoes.
The comparison gees on to say, that II
LAND produces per acre, corn ten bushels.
peas ten bushels. peanuts twenty five
bushels, potatoes one hundred bushels
and chufas one hundred bushels. the
pork producing vaiiie Of each acre, ac-
cording TO the above analysis, Is as fol-
lows: Chufas, potatoes, peanuts, corn,
peas. He assumes that iE costs to cult.
vate an acre Of corn IS, peanuts 90, pota.
toes 1926, peas $3.50, chufas 1915. TO the
producer, therefore, corn Is worth Soc.
per bushel, peas <5., peanuts 24c., pota-
toes she, chufaB 32c.
Taking corn, then, as tho unit Of vaiue.
an acre of chufas Is worth 7.8 acres OF
corn, peanuts 3.0I, peas rs; potatoes 80 !;
while ten bushels, OF, corn costs the pro.
Queer es much az 133 bushels OF chufas.
or 2oS Of peanuts; or 8 bushels OF peas, or
90 bushels of potatoes.
This calculation comes near reducing
the theory Of feeding to a science, but rs
the calculation is made all on one side.
we suggest to the Doctor and his Florida
friend that they give us something on the
part OF the hog, showing his capacity 20
as5iiii;.Gto food at different ages, and
whether as fattening hog at ten months
he needs more of the oily, sugary, or
stsrchy matter to complete his growth :
and too whether the same proportions OF
these ingredients arc necessary at all
ages. VIII not an old hog fatten more
on potatoes than young one2 Will Eioot
peas fatten growing hog more rapidly
than corn? There are too sides to every
question, and we SEQ very clearly two 20
this, and unless some one will bring the
other side prominently before us we are
bound TO say all this finely drawn com
parison don't amount to row OF pins.''
Last fall we turned an old SOW and three
shoats into potato patch. Before they
hau eaten 1t ont the SOW was 80 fat we
feared she would die OF suffocation; the
shonts fattened but little. The shoats

To The Managers Of Election IN Analeyson
County:
In response to several inquiries, l desire
to state that the Legislature has made no
provision as yet for the expenses of conduct
ing the last general election, and conse-
emily there cannot be anv money I'm the
Ste;e Treasury for that purpose, until after
an appropriation has been made at the next
session. wkioh will come on. OF next year's
taxes, If levied at all. In the meantime,
however, as Chairman OF the Board of
Election Commissioners for Anderson
County last fall, would respectfully re-
quest managers and clerks of the different
precincts to file their accounts with Z. b.
Murray, Esq, during The month of Norenabcr,
so that statement can be prepared 10 show
the amount nece<.aTy Ger the payment of
such expenses. 1y absence from the coun-
ty of Anderso:i SO constantly after the cleo
ton, and subsequent removal to this city,
prevented prompt attention to this matter,
but the failure to make any appropriation
TO meet such expenses has rendered It nm
necessary heretofore TO make up the state
ment.
