IN q town Of any size wher a legisla-
ture is III session, as the attractions
will come to them wherever they are.
Theoretically speaking, the general
opinion appears to be that nothing is
either gained Or lost SO far as legisla-
ton is concerned by the size of the
town in which the capital is located,
and that the matter u convenience Of
the-future should be considered at the
same tine with the present. Other
considerations are not looked upon
here as OF any great Importance as
compared with that one.
The legislative members are divided
in their opinions, those who do not care
for outside attractions taking the posi-
ton that the smaller town is the one
in which the best work can be secured.
and those who desire recreation Cutsiua
of their legislative work holding the
view that larger town would be more
to their desire, each passing upon the
question as TO his individual tastes in
the matter.

THE LIMIT OF EFFICIENCY.
10000 for Ships, IL Inches for Guns
Japanese Expert Says.

Toxic, Feb. 3.-The Hochi Shimbun
quoting a naval expert says:
an spite of the apparently limitless
rivalry in the size and efficiency of
naval ornaments, according to the
system at present known. ships cannot
be successfully constructed exceeding
10000 tons or efficient guns of greater
caliber than IL inches. More powerful
explosives have recently been invented
and greater economy in space realized
in boilers and engines. These mark
a new epoch in naval ornaments and
it is now only open to experts to con-
centrate their energies for carrying
these innovations into effect"

GENTRY BROS.
Great Dog and Pony Show VIII be
In Newberry on October 1st.

Gentry Brothers, whose name IS
known the world over in connection
with their Famous Shows, more than
made good their promise this morning
that the Grand street parade would
completely eelispse any similar page
ant seen here before. Thousands Of
people of all age, viewed the parade
along the line Of march, and were de-
lighted and amazed at the gorgeous
and glittering free spectacle which
must have cost the enterprising man
agement many thousands of dollars.
The gilded band wagons with their
two magnificent military bands, the
gold chariots. the magnificent cages
filled with comical monkeys and oth-
er animals, the beautiful and cute
little Shetland ponies, over two hum
dred in number, with the gorgeous
trappings, the herd of monster per-
forming elephants caparisoned in the
gorgeous barbaric splendor Of GRIM
son and gold, the beautiful trained
dogs marching and riding along and
plainly approaching the applause
which greeted them, the funny
clown baby elephant, the comical
monkey jockeys mounted On dogs and
ponies, together with a long array Of
talented and magnifcently costumed
performers, all combined to present
the grandest parade ever seen
mere, and one which reached nearly
a mile in length. When so much gran
deur is displayed in free spectacle,
it is safe to anticipate a grander and
greater show at the performances
which take place this afternoon and
tonight at 2 and 8 p. m., and if the
opinions Of the press count for any
thing in the great metropolitan cit
les, the Gentry Brothers have this
year exceeded the lavish productions
of former years which made them
deservedly famous as public enter
tainers and MISUNDERSTANDING.
