The energies and labor of one
thousand persons and almost as
many animals are required by the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bro
theirs circus in presenting the eX'
hbition for which but fifty cents
admission fee is charged.
The trains of the Adam Fore
paugh and Selle Brothers circus
are the longest, and the tents the
largest of any show in the world.
The canvas covers twelve acres of
ground.
One of the most pratical lessons
taught by the great Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers great
consolidation of shows to every
community visited by them. Sup.
pose they were to come INTO this
city and attempt to do business
without advertising. How much
business would they do as cOmpar-
ed with what they do when they
come after their heavy :advertis
ingg That is cOnundrom that
may be an ,wered as well by the
ignorant in ordinary things as
well as the wise in all things.
Now the principle of advertising
is always the same. The circus
people have their exhibition to sell
They tell what 1t is i'm the mos, at
tractive manner possible. They
don't stint themselves in the matt
er of advertising. The result is kpo-
wn to all. The satfie pr opotlonate
measure of success would attend
the same kind of advertising of
any kind of business.
1t has been long since it was ne
cessary to use any argument with
any sort of a successful merchant
to induce him to advertise the be-
st. How can it be done? Let til.
ia be the the answer. Go into a
ny city or town and look up the
biggest business building and the
busiest merchants. 1t is not nee
cessary for the merchant TO have
his meme on the door for you to
know. even il you are stranger
in the city. Turn to the local
and see who occupies
the most advertising space in til.
en-. Then go blck to the biggest
business building and read the
sign and you will see the same
firm name. There are scarcely
any exceptions to prove this rule
il is SO general throughout the
country.

states that Blackmon came to his house
about l o'clock yesterday morning and
asked to see him. He says Blackmon was

returning home from Lancaster, where
he had been on Saturday.
During the conversation Blac kmon
pulled out O bottle and attempted TO
strike him over the head; that while
BIackmon was making an effort to strike
him he shot him in self-defense. The
four negroes at Evans home corroborate
what Evans has to say. These were SO
intent on telling of Evans innocence that
all four were arrested and placed In jail
as accessories to the crime. Since their
arrests one has stated that Blafkmon DID
nothing. and that the shooting was IN

There is considerable excitement in Lam

Fire did considerable damage on the
Biltmoro estate last night. when tho
piggery and the buildings adjacent therc-
TO were destroyed. The property Destroy
ed was valued at 5000 or moro, and II
was with difficulty that tho livestock was
saved.
Some Of the swine are very valuable.
for 1t is here that the big annual sales
OF Berkshires take place. It was stated
to-day that about the cheapest hog in the
lot was worth something like $500, while
some wero referred to as being priceless.
as Mr.. Vanderbilt does not care to part
with them at any price.
Most OF the animals were In tho iron
stalls Just to the rear Of the Offices, which
were locatd in attractive pebble dashed
building. This building was burned, but
the, records containing the pedigrees Of
some Of the more valuable swine were
saved. It is not known Just how the
fire started. but the presumption Is that
1t originated from the boiler-room. The
buildings will be Immediately replaced.
and Mr.. Vanderbilt will. perhaps make
them more elaborate than ever.
