Berkeley County is now undergoing
an unprecedented state of prosperity.

With increased prosperity on every

favorable to which to look forward,
IN the way of agriculture. limestone,

doubtful if there is another county in
this state which contains SO many

Aside from this, thousands OF dollars

ft is extremely doubtful whether the

The state is to be congratt lated that
it's chief executive will not follow in

UNQUALIFIED measures. There is not
the slightest danger of negro denomi.

CIRCUS PERFORMERS.
To Them the Circus Is a Very 81
riOus Affair.

To Them the Circus Is a Very Sc.
riOus Affair.
To circus people the circus is very
serious thing. When bareback rider
slips to the ground after Il somersault
or a lofty tumbler misses the shoulder
it is his business to land on the audi
ence is all sympathy, as il feeling it
self how it is to fall before so many
people. Very little the performer cares
for all the vast multitude. His mind
is on the superintendent, his particular
superintendent, who is watching him
at the side Of the arena, and who, when
he goes off, is sure to ask very pointed
ly how his eye happened to be mac
curate or his muscles infirm. There is
no place in the circus for performers
who fail.
Even the clowns look little bit Seri-
Gus behind the scenes. But perhaps
that Is only because the black lines
they paint on their whitened vlsages
are always so glum and solemn. And
what q wilderness of fun making peO-
pie there are in the latter day circus
the Bumpkin, the Loon, the Harlequin,
Austrian LOBBY, the Zany, the Pierrot,
the Punch, the Motley Fool and finally
the German Broad Face, whose name
is Paddy Burke! One of the clowns
was sitting on his trunk in the dress
ing room licking a stick of black paint
and rubbing it on his cheeks so as to
make a most funereal expression. The
small boy asked him what kind of
clown he was. He said that he was
just Funny Friskey," and he got his
visiting card out of his trunk. 1t read,
III. Friskey, Clown and Comedian"
and it had heavy gold rim, which
made it very imposing. In the four
corners it said Europe and Asia and
Africa and America, which showed
that II. Friskey's fame had reached
the four corners of the card. Until you
saw his merry capers in the ring you
never could believe that a man with
such a serious face and such an i'm
posing visiting card could be either
funny or frisky.-Metropolitan Maga-
zine.
