Fall Festival Dots.--A Correction.

It is reliably reported that one of
the travelling advertising agents for
the Charleston Fall Festival is going
around knocking the Sumter Fall
Festival and circulating reports that
call Of the shows that had been secur-
ed for the Sumter Festival have can
celled their engagements and are going
to Charleston aud that the Sumer Fall
Festival Committee will have no at
fractions to offer, aud that there will
be no crowd III Sumter DUNG the Fes-
tiyal there The above fslsehood
and similar Misrepresentation were,
it is said. pretty freely circulated in
Bishopville and other places, accord
ing to relis BILE authority. The secre-
tary Of the Sumter Fall Festival says
that the agent who nisrepresented
Sumter also misrepresented Charles
ton, as he is certain that the people
of Charleston do not know that any Of
their agents are resorting to question
able method, to iDiure the Sumter Fall
Festival. So far as be knows the city
of Charleston wishes the Sumter Fall
Festival every success and the News
and Courier Of Charleston has certain
IL done lot to advertise the Sumter
Fall Festival and the coming Sunday
News will contain big free write up
CT Sumter's Festival. In regard to the
shows canceliing their engagements,
not show of any kind has bad an op-
portunity to do that. At least, nfty
shows have been refused privileges be-
cause the Fall Festival Committee did
not want them here for various rea-
sens. and some Of those shows might
prohs bly, lave secured licenses to .ex-
hihit at Charleston, but we do not
kuoS of any. The Sumter Fall Fes
tiyal will, so far as the programme as
arranged by the committee be, absolu-
tely free and of g strictly high class,
clean and instructive character.
There may be some outside shows for
which admission will be charged, bat
the Festival Committee will have
nothing to do with them. In order to
protect the public against fake shows,
a special committee has been appoint
ed to confer with City Council to in
vestigate the character OF all shows
applying for licenses, and if City
Council admits any, none but clean
shows will be permitted. Reports
from all over the state Indicate that
the Sumter Fall Festival will have al.
most, il not as large q crowd as the
State Fair.
Entries for the live stock shows are
coming in at a lively rate from she DIFF
fe1ent counties Of the State. Twenty
entries for the automobile races have
been made so far and car load O.
racing automobiles arrived yesterda.
from the Pope Manufacturing Co., O.
Hartford, Connecticut for the races
Seven (7) military companys have de
cided to enter so far for the military
prize drill and parade, Twenty-thre'
entries have been made for tbs
knights tournament. Preparation
are being made to decorate all th'
stores and residences and public build

In reply to repeated inquiries as to
how the horse tournament to come of
the first day of the Sumter Fall Fes-
tival is progressing, beg to state.
"a At present we are only assured OF
81 Knights. Some of the merchants
are Voluntarily taking such interest
in the tournament that now IN ad,

the Queen of the Tournament, in ad-
dition to the handsome crown which
the committee will have on band for
her. The Sumter Clothing Co., also
authorize US to say that they wish to
present a fine pair of Walk Over shoes
to such knight as may deserve them
according to the scale of pizes ofeed

chants will follow suit, and while 1t
is suggested by some that these ad,
ditional prizes should be lnterspesseo

the crowning of the queen to the next
prize winner who may chance to be

The committee expect to have up the
posts near Oakland avenue by tomor-
row SO as to permit pacticing there
until the 22d when the tornament
will begin at O'Clock.
We desire all names Of riders to be
