Small Fire Sunday Night.

A four room cottage on Gray's
Hill owned and occupied by
Allen Garrett, colored, was de-
stroyed by fire about 8 O'Clock
Sunday night. Garrett and his
family were at church when the
fire broke out. 1t was evidently
of accidental origin.

GREAT CROWDS
SAW BIG CIRCUS.
F0repaugh & Sells Bros
Shows Had Full Sway.
$4,000 VISITORS HERE.
The Weather Was Ideal, the Crowds
Coed Natured, and There was not q
Single Untpward Incidents

Twelve thousand people visited Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers big circus
last Saturday. That many went to
both performances, several thousands
more saw the street parade and-went
home.
1t was great day, great circus
day. The weather was simply ideal,
no dust, no mud, delightfully."- charm
ing autumn day. 1t had been three
years since big attraction like Fore
paugh and sells Brothers visited Lau-
rens so they found the people anxious
TO see the show. And 1t was q great
show too, far too big to describe here.
Everything was shown as advertised,
and great deal more. The feature of
the whole show was. of course, the
wonderful performances Of the men
who "looped the loop" and "Hew the
aume" .or "gapped the gap" on BIZ
cycle. Neither OF these feats were
ever aeen in Laurens before, although
"looping the loop" has been regular
attraction for sometime. Flying the
hume or jumping over row OF ele-
plants, a distance of fifty one feet, is
new. The man who accomplished this
performance is paid hundred dollars
every time he makes. that daring ride
and jump.
At noon Friday the people began ar
irving siu the city from the various
towns and on Saturday morning ex-
currion trains from spartanburg, New
berry, Greenville and Greenwood
brought in thousands.
The cotton mills, furniture ac'ory
and other enterprises closed for the
day and it is safe to presume that very
little cotton was picked In the county
saturday.
The best of order prevailed and there
was not o single untoward incident to
mar the pleasure Of the event.

SHEEP.
Sheep raising in South Carolina has
long been known to b. practicable anl
profitable; for one cause and another
there has been little done. Probably
at last, the greatest drawback has been
neglect to give the animals intelligent
and constant attention on the one
hand and failure to prepare pastures
properly on the o;her. Thers is some
evidence OF revival OF the industry
and hope of permanent ircrease of it.
Latey there has como In Merino,
which Mr.. John Watts calls the De-
Laine, the popularity of which is the
fact that the wool grows down to its
feet and gives the animal the appear
ance of having on stockings of the
homemade kind. Breeders seem
pleased with this innovation, as 4 gives
more wool aud it does not otherwise
hurt the sheep.
A fine display of these Merinoes was

GAINESVILLE

Carriage owners in Clinton are being
terrorized by some unknown who is
nightly carving the rubber tires and
leather tops of the finest vehicles in the
town. So much of this vandalism has
occurred recently that the town is arous-
ed and the business men will likely offer
a reward for the exposure and conviction
of the culprit.
DR. Gibson, assisted by Drs Judd and
Cunningham, Saturday afternoon am
putated the left arm of little Arthur
Boehn, who suffered a compound frac-
ture as the result of runaway accident
last Wednesday. The young man was
riding with his step mother when the &C
cident occurred. 1t was necessary to
amputate above the elbow. The boy
was in the rig with his mother when she
was killed at the Monterey railway cut
two years ago.

A News service without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim made by the Chicago Record Her
aid that its readers enjoy every day in
the week, Sundays included, a news serv-
ice that is without parallel in range and
completeness. In addition to the indie
pendent news facilities Of the Record
Herald, that paper receives the complete
news service Of the New York Herald,
the New York World and the Associated
Press, and when it is considered that it's
news columns are supplemented by all
special features SO popular with its
thousands of readers, it will be seen that
the Record Herald holds an unique
place among the great ewspapers of the
