ROBBINS CIRCUS
Shows Afternoon and Evening at priv.
" ino Park, to Fair Crowds. II

For the second time during the sea-
son, Augusta had circus day. yester-
day. the attraction being the Frank A..
Robbins All Feature Shows. The shows
arrived in the city at AIS In the MORN
ing. ON a train made up of IA cars.
coming from Bath. but 1t was not un-
I'll about two hours later that the work
of unloading was commenced. This
feature, which has grown to De an IN
teresting one, was watched by the
usual number Of early risers, but pro-
ceeded slowly and was nothing COM
nared TO the spectacle afforded by the
larger shows.
The parade left the grounds shortly
before II O'Clock, and passed up State
street, returning to the grounds by the
way of Water street, being viewed by
n fair sized crowd, but the greater pro-
portion of the people who witnessed the
spectacie were residents of the city,
the proportion Of those who came into
town for the purpose being small. The
narade was enlivened by the presence
Of two bands, and a burlesque band OF
clowns. In addition to these features
were q few vans of animals which COM
posed the managerie portion of the
shows, an allegorical speciality or two,
and then the rear guard, which was
represented by an elephant and a
camel.
The performance at the grounds In
the afternoon, and in the evening called
forth fair sized audiences. and seemed
to give good satisfaction. The ring per-
Torrance included the usual assort-
ment of riding, tumbling and trapeZe
work. interspersed with the drolleries
Of the clowns and was Of nature
which furnished a good amount OF en-
tert,tinment for those who had assem-
bled to witness the performance. One
of the features which perhaps was a
little better than the rest was the fly
ing leap Of the trick bicyclist.

ONLY Fifteen MORE
Can Join tho Special Train Party to the
Pacific Coast.

About a month ago the Grand Trunk
Railway System announced a low rate
excursion to the Pacific coast, with
special train equipment from start to
finish. The price for the round trip,
including all expenses is the lowest
ever named to the Pacific coast, 1t ma
turally appealed to the people and
bookings began at once. The Itinerary
stated that the number would be limit
ed to 1876 people. This seemed a large
number to get in a month. but the de-
sirable route which all agree Is the very
best which could be selected between
the Atlantic and the Pacific coast. to-
gether with the very low price did the
business and today but Is vacancies
remain and these will doubtless be TAX
en- within the next few days. Any who
have been considering the July 9Th tour
should attend to the matter at once.
Everything to the minutest detail
looking to the convenience Of this par
ty has been attended to. The party
will enjoy q special train EACH way.

Columbia State: AS result Of an un-
fortunate difficulty in western Chero-
kee, near Williams school house, about
10 or II miles from Gaffney, yesterday
afternoon, James Byars Is dead and
Madison Cook is in Jail charged with
his murder. Both men are white ana
were supposed to have been friends.
Although there had been an old feud
between these two men 1t was sup
posed to have been dead and the men
friends. The particulars Of the homi-
eide as reported here this morning are
that about l o'clock yesterday after
noon Cook and Byars had difficulty
and possibly passed some words. The
trouble, however, was thought to have
blown over and differences to have
been settled. Later in the afternoon,
about 5 o'clock, as Cook was engaged
in weighing some cotton Byars was
seen approaching, 1t is said, with
shotgun held in a threatening position.
Cook at once struck him with q STICK,
which he had had in use weighing
cotton. The weapon Is said to have
been a wagon standard. The blows
Inflicted severe wounds, from the eff
fects of which Byars soon died. Cook
came to this city last night and sur
rendered himself to the authorities and
was placed in jail. Coroner ]. V. Vine
sett and Sheriff w. w. Thomas went
to the scene last night and held an In
Quest The verdict Of the coroner's
july was to the effect that Jas. Byars
came to his death by blows from a
blunt instrument in the hands Of Mad
ison Cook. There had been trouble be-
tween these two men last spring but
hostilities had supposedly ceased. The
dead man is about 35 years old with
wife and three children. Cook is a
young man about 81 and unmarried.
