THE CARNIVAL.
The Tent Shows and the Horns and the
Confetti and the..Visitors Have Taken
the Town and All is Well.

Since Tuesday afternoon the Carnival
has been in full blast and the fun lov-
ers have been happy.
The Midway extends from the public
square down Main street towards the
depot two blocks. In all there are
eight shows, including the merry-go-
round and all of them have been draw
ing the crowds.
Probably the most largely attended
so far has been CISCO, the snake eater,
'the man who eats 'em alive" and he
has deserved the crowds which have
greeted him and pleased them, or rather
satisfied them. He is the genuine ar
ticle and seems to enjoy immensely his
meals, which include rattle snakes a 4
any other old snake.
The most popular shows with the la
dies and children are Marguerite, The
Eruption Of Mt: Pelee. and Pearl, all
of them good, clean shows. Margue-
rite, the statue turning to life, is To-
Gated Immediately In front of the court
house steps. The illusion is complete,
and as the cold statue slowly changes
into the beautiful girl and again re-
sumes the appearance of marble there
is wonder among the spectators.
Mt. Pelee is next to Marguerite on
the public square. Here the eruption
of Pelee, the funeral Of Mckinley and
the execution of Czolgosz are repro
duced upon canvas by electricity. The
illustrated song, "Hello, Central is
we'll done.
Pearl, "the fat girl who measures 80
inches around the waist, weighs 529
pounds is only eleven years Of age, and
has father and mother of normal
size, and sister who weighs only 1875, "
is receiving her share Of attention, for
which, however, her managers seem to
lbe more thankful than the little lady
iherself.
One of the most amusing features
of the Carnival is the comedian of the
Pearl Company, Robert Anglin of Co.
aumbus, Ga, Better known on every
Southern midway for ten weeks past
as "Maggie." His makeup as mig
ger wench, his numerous and appro-
pirate costume, his abundant witticism
and local hits, never fail to draw and
hold the largest crowd on every Mid
way. Commencing at Columbia on ten
dollars per week and expenses, he has
quickly made himself worth to his
management twenty-five dollars per
week and expenses, something that few
young men of nineteen can do in so
short time.
The Hobo King has been getting in
some "daring and death-defying feats"
Of cycle riding and is deserving the lib
eral patronage which he is receiving.
The Old Plantation is on the minstrel
order and Is the place to GO for a laugh.
Among the free street attractions
Miss Clark, in her aerial trapeze per-
performances deserves mention. She
seems to feel as much at home in the
trapeze acts as If she were on the
ground.
In addition to the shows, there are
stick galleries, shooting galleries, con.
fetti and tin horn stands galore. Ir
fact, one can find almost anything fol
Sgakth he may be looking.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the @dvice to the
consunptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionis them
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some-
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
Phltes in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
