EIKs GREAT MINsTRELs.
Professional Direction Will Make the
Show Success.

The Elks of the city are now get
ting together a lovely bunch Of boys
for their high class minstrel show
which will be given in the Opera
House on Monday evening, April 1st.
The Elks will either put on good
show, or no show at all, for whatever
the antlered1 tribe tackle must be up
to the minute.
The services Of the S. A. Grubb's
Minstrel Syndicate, Of Chicago, have
been secured, and Mr.. Grubbs will
personally superintend all the work
incident to the minstrel. Many let
ters Of the most fattering nature have
been received from various Elk
Lodges speaking in the highest terms
of the production of the Grubbs Syn
dicate. and Mr.. Grubbs writes that II
the show is not entirely satisfactory
that he will donate his portion of the
receipts to any charity that the Lodge
may indicate.
In order to give the participants in
the minstrel a pleasant outing
as return for their services, the show
will be taken to Florence on April
I'd. and will be given royal time by
the members of the local lodge and

May Commit Mccleary to Asylum.

Columbia, March 22.-Nathan Nc
Cleary, the negro who was arrested
on suspicion of being the criminal
wanted for assault on the school
teacher in Marion county, will proba-
!,iv be sent to the State Hospital for
the Insane, as he is undoubtedly OF
unsound mind. Papers committing
him to the asylum will be taken out
within a few days, the negro being
still in the penitentiary. 1t is thought
that the negro may be the thief who
stole the bicycle belonging to Mr.. L.
r. Jennings, Of Sumter several weeks
ago. From his description Mr. Jen-
nings, it is understood, thinks ne is
the man and may take steps to as
certain if he is the negro wanted. The
negro has made rather incriminat-
ing statement about the wheel. but
what he says is not to be depended
on, as he confessed to the assault IN
Marion county and when the young
lady came here to identify him she
declared positively that he was not
the negro. Meanwhile the negro who
did attempt to harm the young lady
has not been apprehended and may
never be.

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.
Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps
Its Formula Secret.

People troubled with stomach
weakness cannot afford to use
medicine unless they know what 1t
contains.
Mi-o-na is the one remedy for
stomach troubles that publishes its
formula: chemically pure bismuth
subgailate to allay any Inflammation
of the stomach and bowels; cerium
oxalate, to strengthen the stomach
nerves; sodium bi-carbonate, to neu-
tralize the poisonous acids that are
present in stomach troubles; and nuX
vomica, which restores vigor to the
digestive organs and tones up the
whole nervous system
This combination Of valuable rem
edies is found only in Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets, and it SO rarely fails to
strengthen the digestive system, and
cure even the worst form of stomach
trouble, that ]. F. W. DeLorme sells
the remedy under guarantee to re-
fund the money unless it cures.
A soc box Of Mi-o-na will give
quick relief for indigestion, distress
after eating, sleeplessness or any OF
the other symptoms of stomach trou-
bles. Unless it does this, the cost is
nothing. :.

BRADsTREETs TRADE REVIEW
Spring Trade in Some Lines Ahead
of Last Year.

New York, March 22.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Spring trade is at its height, and
the turnover bids fair to exceed
.yen last years the stimuli being fur
nished by more favorable weather,
the approach of Easter and the visits
Of country merchants to the larger
centers. In fact, doubt as to the fu-
tura is nowhere in evidence in the
great producing sections Of the
country. At some points in the west
the sales Of dry goods on spring ac-
count are fully 10 per cent. above
those of last year, while fall business
thus far is also in excess of that
booked at this time in 1905.
Wool is quiet. and less tendency to
contract for new clips is shown by
dealers. The strength of foreign
markets is the sustaining feature.
I'm the dry goods market new
business does not come forward SO
rapidly, though a good sample busi-
ness has been done in mems wear
goods.
The shoe and leather trades re-
port fair activity. Shoe shipments
for last week are slightly larger than
a wear ago. New business in shoes
is quiet and shipments for the year
are 6.5 per cent behind a year ago.
Business failures for the week
number 157 against 1S6 last week.

BRYAN'S OPINION.

He Says lie BcueFeS tue hoiAoossS
are Leading Roosevelt Into Dan
gerous Trap.
Chicago, Ill, March 25.-In the
opinion Of William J. Bryan, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is being lead into
dangerous trap by the railroad men.
In exclusive interview to the Publish
ers' Press, Mr.. Bryan denies en-
phatically that the attitude of the
big railroad magnates that they favor
federal control of the railroads are
approaching the viewpoint he held in
his Madison Square Garden speech
last fall, when he came out fatfooted
for government ownership Of all rail
roads in the United States.
According to the Nebraskan, the
railroads are planning a master coup.
Mr.. Bryan says:
.The railroads wish to get rid OF
State and substitute congressional
control. They had rather deal with
one legislative body than forty-five-
Il didn't predict anything save that
the ultimate result Of the railroad
situation would be government own
ership."

cal Contest to Select Representa-
tive.
University of South Carolina, Co.
lu,abia, March 22.-Last evening in
the University chapel the annual pre-
liminary fo~ the State oratorical con-
test was held. This preliminary be-
tween contestants from the two lit
erary societies is for the purpose OF
selecting one as the representative OF
the university at the annual contest
in Greenwood on April %. The as
sociation is composed Of the follow
ing: Furman University, Wofford Col
lege, Clemson Agricultural College,
Presbyterian College Of South Caro-
lima, Erskine College, Newberry Col
lege, South Carolina Military Acad-
eny and University of South Carroll
ma.
This is Carolina's second year as
member Of the association and much
interest was manifested in the con-
test last evening for it is hoped that
cur representative will be victorious.
Last year we came out second.
The programme was as follows:
Orators-Clariosoph
"A. M. Lumpkin, Richland-The
Race Problem of the South.
B. J. N-ingard, Lexington-A Civic
Renaissance.
Euphradian:
r. D. Lee, Jr., Sumter-Obligations

The presiding officer was W. c..
Hughes, Oconee, Of the Euphradlan
Society and the chief marshall was
L. W. Smith, Spartanburg, of the
Clariosophic. The contestants han
died their subjects with ease and abil-
ity and the contest was one of the
most interesting and instructive that
has been held.
Mr.. Lumpkin, in discussing the
race problem, showed the condition
Of the negro in the south today, and
strengthened his statements with
many concrete illustrations. He clos
ed with suggestion as to the remedy
for the existing state. In Mr.. Hughes
speech the lyHcn law was gwen ehe
position Of prominence. Mr.. Jack
sons was by far the best written, his
peroration particularly being splen-
did.
The judges were: Mr.. Stanhope
Sans, Rev. P. F. Kilgo and Mr.. r. NJ.
McCown. After a few minutes con-
sultation Mr.. Sans on behalf of the
committee rendered the decision in
favor of Mr.. B. j. Wingard, '07, Of
Lexington.
The attendance was quite large
and delightful music was rendered
during the intermissions by the Uni
versity Glee Club.
