YOung Plans

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home
same care but some grow big
and strong while Others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out OF the difficulty
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lack
# food, but because the food
loes not feed.

Mississippians in the War With

so largely to the fate OF the day.
"The Mississippi regiment was fled

Bizzy lzzy.

November 10th will mark the first
appearance Of funny little George Sid
ney at the head Of his own company
In what is termed ga new musical fun
bargain" and is called "Bizzy Izzy. !"
Theater patrons will best remember
Sidney as the funny little Jew with
Ward and Vokes for the past four
" ars, in which company he shared the
laughing honors with percy and
Harold" and was so capable in a spe-
cial offering with Margaret DAILY
Vokes..
Ii is promised that in this new vetn-
Gle, which is of like nature 70 all of
the Ward & Vokes productions. Mr..
Sidney has elaborated the character of
'Izzy"'and made it prominent enough
to be the pivot on which a two-act
musical farce can be swung. There is
nothing to eidney's Characterization
which can possibly offend the race he
depicts. Izzy is good natured little
fellow, more ssinned against than sim
ming, taking all his misfortunes so that
laughter spring unbldden.
His work bears no seeming exertlon
and his ability to sing . song or dance
a step or two with the best OF them In
eratiates him with his audience at
once. The company is large one Of
forty people nd contains Annie Mar
tell, Fred WyckOff, Reta Curtis, Ed
ward Clark, Florence Ackley, Daniel
Sullivan, Grace Dare, Frank Gibbons,
Evelyn Granger, Will J. Hagan, Vesta
Bergia, Thompson & Andrews and the
NoFmans, five In number, and . chorus

etc. Musical numbers are many and
the music Is promised TO be oil new.
The second act shows hotel which
Izzy had obtained by trading his de-
partment store for it. This act also
has musical numbers. Indeed, there
are twenty Of these interpretations In
the two acts. From thisitcan beeeen
that there will not be much plot 10
worry over or much dramatic work to
criticise. The production is elabor-
ately staged and Manager E. D. Stair
has equipped the organization with
scenic and wardrobe embellishments
to meet the demands OF the largest

march of progress. This develop
ment of religious ano devotional
feeling in o.r midst is another ev.
idence of growth, while the erect
tion of new and elegant buildings
attests the Iberality and prosper
ity of our people.
Thus it will be seen that the
qualification of every reasonable
desire of man is amply provided
tor in Greenville. But what of our
benevolent and charitable lnstitu-
tions? Are they a credit to us?
Do they rear their lofty spires to
the heavens to proclaim to the
world that they obey the divine
injunction, whatsoever ye would
that men should'do to you, do ye
even SO to themN' Alas, no. A
simple frame building, far from
adequate to the need and demand
upon it, poorly equipped from
professional fstandpoint, is all
that Greenville can boast of as a
charitable institution, a home for
the sick and poor.
Our hearts are warm and our
hands are willing to labor for the
cause of humanity. God has
blessed our work and prospered us.
Let us honor Him and ourselves
by erecting suitable structure
for our noble work.
Kind hearted and liberal men
are ready and willing to help us by
generous donations. Let us not
delay, but begin at once. The
time is ripe and the necessity
is greater than we realize.

Colonel Peter Sells, general
manager of the combined Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
Clrcuses, which exhibited in this
city Wednesday, was asked the
other day why it was that no radi'
cal innovations had been intro
duced into the circus business.
His reply contained very much
reason and not a little philosophy.
"It is not well," said he to
change what the public is emf
nently satisfied with. A circus is
| a circus-not q balloon ascension.
When the public goes to a circus
it is disappointed if it is given
something else, no matter how
good that something else might
be. Old men go to the circus to
renew their youth, young ones to
witness what proved a source OF
delight even during the days OF
ancient Rome, of Olympus and
England, when the old rural sports
were in vogue-athletlc skill,
feats OF strength and tests OF
speed. You cannot cioy or sur
felt this Unsuitable interest. II is
as much q part of humanity as life
itself. That is why the circus
lives, why innovations are frown-
ed upon and met with rebuff and
failure.
s'All of the big American cir
cuses have tried to supply some
thing absolutely new, something
away and apart from the ordinary.
1t matters not how much money
is invested, how artistic and
praiseworthy these features are,
they are not liked; they are con-
sidered as excrescences, and fail IN
their purpose. A few years ago
Barnum and Bailey put on, at
great expense, the spectacle Co
lumbus.' At the same time the
Sells Brothers presented q very
costly affair called The Queen OF
She ba, in which hundreds OF peo-
pie appeared. Both of these in
novationS failed in their purpose.
They we're not circuses, were not
cordially received, and hence
abandoned after q single season.
The public plainly discovered the
fact that it was just circus, and
