NOTICE.

paid representative of the Consoli- dated Electric Light Company has for some time since been circulating report that the insurance companies would, on or about October l, increase insurance rates at all places where Kitson lanps were used. To some of our customers he went so far as to say that policies would be cancelled; he also offered tho gratuitous information that he would go out of business about the same date.
 These reports we traced down and verified and asked the officials to correct. which they refused to do. The evident purpose of these statements would seem to be a determination on the part of this great corporation to crush out all cona- petition. Failing to put us ont of busi- ness in legitimate comp .tition. the users of light can form their own opin. ion with refernce 70 these reports.
 We simply 'isstre ta say that the jn- surance rates will remain the same where the Kitson system O. lighting is used, and that we will continue to do business at the same st and

AMUSEM MENTS.
"A Stranger IT. a Strange Land."

"A Stranger in a Strange Land" is in- tended to produce fun of the broad, open faced brand There is no striving for the more artistic style of humor-that which causes a smile to grow gradually into a liberal grin and then mature into a lusty roar. The lusty roar comes sud dsnly-the fun Is thrown in huge. heavy chunks like a brick house coming down brick by brick. That the author has succeeded in his purpose the applause of the two audiences which saw the pro- duotion at the Jefferson yesterday after noon and last night is convincing evi- dence. In brief the story is about young scapegoat who comes to America from England to reform Instead he falls into more trauble. When he returns wonder full stories are told about how his life was saved by an Indian on ranch at Buffalo, N. T. He has promised to bring the Indian home, but loses him on the way. An Indian must be produced and an old cilum is pressed into service.
 At this moment an American pat snt medicine fal1ir arrives with read Red Skin and is ernplo. ..ed by an uncle of tho young man to pull them out of their predicament. Neither knows of the scheme of the other and troublesome tar gles follow. There are Indians galore and they are forever crossing the path of each other.
 William Friend is very clever in the part of Jack Thorndike the young aeaFe- of the part of the uncle These two char acters and Harry Bond as the medicine fakir practically carry the play. The lines are silly, very silly at times, but ridiculous enough to be funny.
 "The Lost Paradise"
 With '"rhe Lost Par slise' tho Boyle Stock Company at tho Auditorium last night made successful start on, another weeks run. ''rhe Lost Paradise Is a story of fo,indries and mills and appeals strongly to the audience. Miss Esther Lyons in the leading part by her powers of ofpersuasion overcomes her fathers con- tention and settles great strike which had been declared in the mills of which he was director and owner. Her work was appiauded. Kendall Weston as the superintendent showed how man of high ideals and low social position can finally overcome his environment. He married the mill owners daughter. The scenic arrangements were clever and the great wheeis of the factory in motion on the stage produced a realistic effect.
 The vaudeville acts were handled by the Brothers Deonzo in clever exhibi- ton of barrel jumping, which Is some- thing decidedly new. and Prince Schmann performing wonderful feats on high slack wire

How LSthuaaiaas Play Dice.

a peculiar dice game ia INDUCED In
by the gambling element Of Lithu-
a1;ans in Baltimore. Gathering about
the dice tables in the saloons kept
by their fellow countrynen, they
quickly lose all interest in every
thing outside Of that which Is trans
piring upon the cloth before them.
As they sit or $ q / about the tables
the careworn features OF old nenl
contrast strongly with the ruodyi
faces Of the youths. The eagerness
with which the players seek the nnm-(
bers upon the falling pieces IS woH-t
ish in all it's intensity. ConparatiTe-l
II small sums are placed upon thei
game, and side bets run from HVel
cents to a dollar. Although resen-i
bling in the manner in which 1t Is op-
Grated the high dice game, as played
By the Anglo-saxon races, the dice
of the Mthuan;ans, instead Of num-
berine from one to six, run from one
to ten, the numbering OF the siE
sides being l, 2, 3, 4, 8, 10. The game
il played with four pieces, and Q
possible 10 is the point striven TOE
instead of 81, which is high mark IN
the similar American game.-Bsla'

Final Preparations for Columbia's Ger

COLUMBIA, Oct. 19.-Specisl: As
tbs days pasg rapidly by and the time
before the State fair g.ows shorter the
general activity among those in charge
OF the Various features of the greatest
of all weeks in the capital city Increases.
On every hand preparations fer the fair
are in PROCESS and it is expected TO be
one Of the most successful in point Of
attendance in the history Of the aocis-
ty.
Many are coming to hear the grand
concerts Of the famous United States
army's First ARTILLERY baad under
Lesder Koitsch; others ars coming to
see the stock and cattle; Others 70 at
tend The State ball; Others to witness
the football games; others to witness
the horse racer, and still others to zee
everything that is to be seen and have
an all round good time.
Secretary Holloway is now regularly
st bis tfice in tie Southern Railway
building, where he and his assistant are
hard At work writing ous entry tags and
doing other necessary work.
The outlook is q qaise gratifying in the
matter of live stock; in fast il all ez-
hibits except in fed crops, md in this
department Col. Holloway fears thers
will not be the usual displays. This
might naturally be expected owing to
the almost total failure Of the corn
crop. And in this connection Col. Hol-
ioEay desires to beg the farmers Of the
State to get up display Of the cereals.
The secretary further announces that
exhibitors to the State fair can TeshiP
their exhibits to Charleston 10 be shown
at the exposition, and when there the
several coupties can claim such exhibits
to bs placid in each county display
competing as such.
Col. Frost, who is the superintendent
Of the racing, is qaits jubilant over
the great number Of stables Of horses
making their way to the meet in Co
lunbis.
With the loH railroad rates and the
steps being taken by the people Of Co.
lunbia to provide homes for visitors,
the usual large attendance at the fair
is confidently expected.
It is quite desirable that application
be made at once for premium lists and
entry sheets and that entries be turned
in to the secretary.
President Esans and Secretary Love
are now in the city and sll matters per-
tanning to spaces, privileges, etc, can
be attended to as already stated IN this
