around like spoiled child--a reformer out of job. Well, God is always more tolerant, more loving and more patient with the sinner than the poor human two by fours who represent Him. He not only cared for the ignoramuses of Nineveh. but for the poor dumb brutes of the city as well. Nineveh suddenly fell and was literally swept from the face of the earth. Brother man, awake. Some day you may do so when it's too late, your opportunities like Nineveh shall have gone forever!

their praise. 1t is seldom If ever a half

ENTHUSIASTICALLY WELCOMED
Cape Colonists Show Their Gratitude
to LancerS

Capetown, November 2.-Delayed in
transmission 1.-The British transport Nine
veh arrived today from England, bringing
the new South Wales lancers from Alder
sot. The lancers on landing, were enthusi-
asticlly welcomed by the municipal authori-
ties and the -populace
The presence of the lancers was eagerly
seized upon at once affording the people
of Cape Colony an opportunity of showing
their gratitude for the help rendered by a
sister colony
The news of the losses at Ladvsmith
caused an unmistabale depression, especial
ly when coupled with the fact that the
Beers invaded the colony almost simultane-
ously The Dutch of the colony are show
ing themselves loyal to the British govern
ment and far as has been ascertained
few of them have Joined the Beers.
The Boer prisoners have arrived at ST.

Tenth Hussars' Departure

Liverpool, November 5.-Scenes of re-
markable enthusiasm attended the embark
alton here today of the Tenth hussars upon
the transport Columbia. An erroneous re-
port that the Prince of Wales, who is hon.
orary colonel of this regiment, was coming
to bid the troops farewell, drew out enor-
nous crowds. Some life guards and some
horse guards also embarked
The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Lord
and Lady Derby. Earl Cadogan, Lord Hen
ry Cavendish Bentinck and other notable
people were present to say goodbye to rela-
tives among the officers and men.

FOR ShFETY'S SAKE
The Women and Children of Ladysmith
Sent South

Capetown, November 2. -Delayed in
transmission. THE Cape Argus has receiv-
ed the following from Ladysmith:
"On the suggestion of General White the
women and children were sent south last
evening. large number of men left at
the same time. Some of these behaved
badly toward the women.
Entire confidence is still reposed here In
General White and his staff and 1t is ex-
pected that another pitched battle will dis
pel all hopes of the Beers that they will
be able to take Ladysmith."

The State fair opens tomorrow.
Only one day is left in which to get ev-
erything in readiness at the grounds, and
those interested have gone to work with a
vim.
Considerable work was done Saturday
and Saturday night, but the finishing
touches are still to be put on some of the
exhibits. 1t is safe to predict that nothing
will have been left undone when the gates
are swung open to the public Tuesday
morning.
The Midway attractions are getting into
shape, and before nightfall everything will
be in readiness for the shrill tone of the
bagpipe and the ceaseless beating of TOM
toms.
Decorations
The principal work to be done on the
buildings today will be decoration. Hun
dreds of yards of bunting have already been
purchased by the management, and by
noon red, white and blue banners and flags
will be streaming from every pinnacle
throughout the grounds.
The manufacturing exhibits inside the ex-
position building are already profusely dec
mans department is finished this afternoon
the upper floor will be resplendent with
colored flags and pennants.
There seems to be considerable friendly
rivalry between the women having in
charge the different exhibits, and some
beautiful displays will be the result
Another herd of fine cattle arrived yes
terday, and several carloads are expected
today The Jerseys seem to be in the ma
jority but many beautiful Holsteins are
already on exhibition. Superintendent J..
g. Drake of this department, says that the

grounds.
Equine Contests
Visitors to the Alabama State fair will
be treated to some grand equine contests.
The racing department is in the best hands
that the management could secure. Such
well-known men as C. J. Fitzgerald, w. r.
Letcher. Gratz Hanley and Des Dresser
have been engaged.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, who wields the starting
flag on the eastern tracks where most of
the classic events of the turf are run, will
fill like position here w. r. Letcher,
who is well known through his connection
with the Oakley track at Cincinnati, will
be the presiding judge, and Des Dresser,
who was assistant secretary at the Louis
vile Jockey club, famous for the Kentucky
derby, will be clerk of the scales The po-
sitfon of secretary will he capably filled by
Gratz Hanley, who is known from one end
of the country to the other as a most ef-
ficient racing official. With such men as
these filling all the important positions,
patrons are assured that the sport will be
conducted on truly high-class plan.
Some of the Horses
The fact of the management using such
care in the appointment of its officials Is
largely responsible for the fact that some
of the best horses that have raced in the
west and not few from the east, will
compose the fields. Stables were constant
ly arriving yesterday from all sections of
the country, and the stalls at the fair
grounds are rapidly filling with the thor
oughbreds.
Three carloads arrived from Atlanta,
among them being the stables of NJ Burns,
with the useful performer Windward. who

BOERS BOMBARD LADYSMITH
Heavy Guns Used But the Shots Fall

Colenso. November &c p. m. DELAYED
in transm1ssicn.j- j-Heavy firing Is now In
progress at Ladysmith, which the Beers
sheling from their positions on Gro
blersklof hH1. this side of Ladysmith.
Two trains Save just arrived here from
Ladysmith. When near Pieters station
they were fired upon by the Beers, but were
not in serious danger. The train guards
report that Nordenfeldt quick-firers were
used in addition to Mausers.
The Beers continue to shell Colenso and
Fort Wylie, but thus far the firing is futile.
They have placed heavy guns in position,
but their shots are all falling short.
