he take Il dose of the same advice
that he so gracionsly offers to our
Grand jury. viz, "should not use such
positive language unless lie makes :.

Now. Mr.. Editor, we have deemed it
our duty TO make the above statement,
as the attack made by Mr.. Edwards re-
fleets not only upon the Grand jury
for failing to discharge its duty, but
also upon the management OF the af-
fairs of the poor house by the County
Commissioners. We do not propose to
be drawn into papcrcontrovcrsy with
Mr.. Edwards, but simply wanted to
state the facts in the case to the tax
payers.
Respectfully,

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 9, 1898.
Circus Day.

The people OF Anderson Ngave the
Adam Forepaugh 81 Sells Bros. great
Circus q rousing reception as usual.
8 The crowd was thought to be the larg-
est ever seen in the city. Even before
Z the appearance of the first strealls oil
dawn the rumble OF wheels broke the
Stiffness of night and up to II o'clock
wagons containing five, ten and fifteen
people rolled i'll from every direction.
There were probably twelve thousand
people gathered in one creeping, surg
ing mass in the business center. OF the
city in time to witness the street parade.
There was a time when we looked
upon the coming of q circus as an event
detrimental to the people and their
best interest. We thought they brought
along a bad influence, which our peo-
pie caught as they would an Infectious
disease, carrying it with them into
their homes in every part of the coun-
tys;; and we. also thought that these
shows were carrying away from the
people--the farmer, the laborer, the
merchant much money. Money
they needed for bread and shoes
and clothing. But our views have
changed on this subject. We now re-
gard the coming of a good circus, like
) the Forepaugh & Sells Bros, once a
year, asa great boon; particularly to
those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow. 1t affordsa much
needed outing which no other event
would bring about in a way so general
and satisfactory From the little
pickaninny to the thoughtful student,
every body is pleased, SO varied are the
attractive sights. Asto carrying away
so much money, the people are the
best judges as to their needs. They
give up their money freely to see the
show, and who would presume to say
That they do not receive an adequate
value in return9 Who would under
take to fix the value of the outing, the
change from the old, every day routine
Of work, to say nothing of the benefits,
mentally of the spectacular, not only
of the show proper, but also OF the
people in attendanceg Besides, the
show people have wants for themselves
and for their animals, which arc sup
pied by our merchants, thus putting
into circulation in almostevery branch
of trade, money which might otherwise
be boarded.
The mammoth tents of this great
Circus were spread ON the Whitner lot
in rear of ssRose Hill.n The street
parade, with its brass bands, herd OF
elephants, performing wild beasts,
beautiful horses, ponies, chariots and
clowns was fully up to the expectations
of the people. Twoperformances were
given, afternoon and night, and We're
both well patronized. At the after.
noon performance the crowd was nu-
merous, and Notwithstanding the re-
port got abroad that there would be no
night performance, the attendance fell
but little short of the expectations of
the management. The acting was
very good, indeed, and embraced sew
eral new and attractive features. No
murmer of compliant was heard from
the spectators. Allwere pleased. The
Side Shows were all good in fact, the
entire makeup of this great circus ap-
pears to be strictly honest and respec-
table. excellently managed and thor
OugMy disciplined.

Report of the Grand Jury of Ander-
son county of the management and ex-
penses OF its poor house:
Having had frequent inquiries as to
the cost, per capita, OF keeping and
maintaining the county's poor ut the
poor house, we appointed committee
to ascertain this fact, who reported
that they had examined the books and
records of the County Supervisors
office, aud after obtaining all the infor-
nation ut hand, including the informa-
ton rs to the crops raised OH the farm
at the poor house, gave a statement OF
the cost of maintaining the poor, (which
we herewith submit for the informa
tion of the public, which statement, the
Grand Jury unanimously agreed,
showed that the finances connected
with the poor house were we'll managed
and the money of the county used for
the support OF the poor was cconomi-
cally expended.

COMPARISON OF THE TWO STATEMENTS.
Remember that Abbeville has 300
acres III the poor house farm, and an
average of :5 paupcrs, while Anderson
has $40 acres and an average of Gi
paupers, showing that Anderson has
almost twice as many paupcrs as Able
vile and about the slime amount OF
land. Also note what Mr.. Lyon says
in Ills letter about the convict Stockade
being on the farm and work by them
not accounted for in his statement.
Quoting from Nh. Edwards: If

The Laboring Mans Candidate.

Hon. Joseph II. Mulligan, of Ke-
vance, democratic candidate for the
state senate, was at the Rock Island
house last night, and although his
stay was but brief. as he was passing
through the city, ne Was greeted by a
large number of workIngmen who
were anxious to congratulate him on
the stand he has taken for the repeal of
the garnishment law, the species of
class legislation which was rushed
through with the endorsement of the
good sister, William Payne. That
distinguished statesman is at the
present time occupied with a desper-
ate hand-to-hand canvass of the city,
but so far he has made no public eX-
PLANTATION of his past vote or future po-
sition.

SHOULD Be IN LINE.
Rock Island Ought to Have a
Street Fair in Another
Season.
GREAT BENEFIT IN OTHER CITIES

Brings Thousands of People and no Less
an Attraction Than the President of
the United States-Is the Popular Exhi-
bItion of the Times-SuggestIon for
the Future.
In another season Rock Island will
have a street fair or some other form
of exhibition equally as attractive.
The street exposition, however, has
proven the hit of recent years. This
season has demonstrated the fact with
particular force. Peoria has ust
gotten through with one on an elab-
crate scale, and viii improve upon it
next year. Quincy is in for one, and
during the remainder of the present
week street fairs will draw crowds at
Galesburg, Burlington and Creston,
Iowa, at each of which cities the pres
ident of the United States will be 4
guest. There are numerous other
cities in Illinois which have, during
the fall, given street fairs with Won
derful success.
Rock Island Should Go In.
Rock Island should go in for an at
traction of this kind. The city owes
it to herself and to her people to keep
ua with the times. 1t has been many
years since there has been fair of
any kind here other than those which
ordinarily occur indoors during the
winter months. But great out-of-
door exhibit of some kind, such as
will draw people here from the sur
rounding country is what Rock Island
needs. A better plan than a street
fair might be devised in something
more unique and more attractive.
But through the reorganization of the
Rock Island club or other means the
movement ought now to be on foot
looking to next falls festivities. The
president has gone around US this
time because he was not properly in
vited. Next fall we could have Il
great exhibit, and have the president
and other distinguished people present.
But will we?
