BAILEY IN THE CITY
TODAY.

Frank j. O'Donnell, press represen-
tative of the Barnum & Bailey Great
est Show On Earth, is spending today
in the city in the interest of the com
ing engagement Of the big circus. Mr.
O'Donnell came on the first advertis-
ing cal of the show which travels three
weeks in advance and carries a crew
of % men whose duty it is to convert
the towns through which they pass
into multi colored circus picture gal
leries.
Mr.. O'Donnell speaks in the highest
praise of the circus he represents and
says that in all it's "a years of world
travel it has never been so interesting
nor so big as it is this season. This
is partly due to the fact that the Bar
mum and Bailey management has re-
sumed it's former policy and is now
giving the most splendid parade that
any circus ever presented.
Cages. dens chariots, tableau vans,
jinrikshas, thrones, howdahs-all the
vehicles used in the parade are brand
new and were all built in Europe The
costumes were made in France and
China. 1t will be a most gorgeous pro-
cession, employing 1900 people and 700
horses.
Among other things the circus is
featuring this season new thriller
which is called autos That Pass in the
Air" The act is presented by two
mere girls At the Madison Square gar
den, New York city, the act was de-
clared the most sensational ever seen
there The rest of the program is
given by European artists new to
America and is one of great novelty.
No. 1 car will leave town tonight
for the next stand. 1t will be followed
bv two other cars at intervals of
week apart. The Barnum and Bailey
cidcus employees $50 men who travel
in advance doing the advertising and
other work incidental to the coming of
a big circus.

BOLD BANDITS
MAKE RICH HAUL
HID UP STAGE IN NORTHERN
NEVADA AND GET
$4,000 CASH.

RENO, New, July Estate police
are today watching every station on
the Southern Pacific in the northern
part of Nevada for two bandits who
held up a stage coach between Likely
and Alturas late Monday night, secur-
ing a Wells Fargo box containing $685.
900. After stopping the horses the ban
dts ordered the driver and express
agent to throw down the box, and then
made the driver whip the horses and
leave the scene.
None of the passengers were aware
of the holdup because it was accom-
plished so quickly.
The money was for the payroll of
the Nevada, California & Oregon rail-
way and several stock camps.

+ NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.
+ By Catherine Mann Playzant.



NEW YORK, July 23.-The de-
signers have not forgotten the little
folks in their creation Of new modes.
While clothes for little girls follow the
fashions set for their elders there is a
marked reaction toward simplicity as
against the elaborate styles seen for
some seasons back. Daintiness is the
keynote of all children's designs, and
the favorite types of finish are hand
run tucks, insets of fine lace or
sprays of hand embroidery, but the
latter is used in small quantities and
in small and neat designs. A finish of
pale pink and blue lawn bands on
white is an effective design much fav-
ored at present
Attractive little frocks for girls are
made from nainsook, batiste or Swiss
muslin, trimmed with edgings sewed
together in the middle and applied as a
band trimming. These bands may pass
over the shoulders as bretelles and be
connected by the trimming at yoke
depths, both in front and back
The present-day fashions of the
grown-up people have perceptible
influence on the frocks of the children.
and this is true not only in the cut OF

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of
Your Troubles. A Certain
Edgefield Citizen Shows
Flow to Cure them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when urina-
ry trouble asets in they think it will
soon correct itself. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease The best remedy
to use is Doan's kidney pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Edgefeld people tes-
tify to permanent cures.
Mrs 4 P Jackson, Cedar Row, Edge
field, S. c.. says: Although l have
not used Doan's kidney pills very long,
what | have taken have helped me so
much that | can endorse them as a
good kidney remedy. l suffered so in
tensely from pains in my back, sides
and hips that l could not sleep well at
night, and felt little like doing my
work Upon learning of Doan's kidney
pills, l procured supply from Penn
& Holstein's drug store and began TAX
ing them. l have received so much
benefit that | am going to continue
their use knowing that they will soon
effect cure"

Entire Faculty will Return.

1t is generally conceded that
the commencement just closed is
the best ever held during the en-
tire pine years that the South
Carolina Co-Educational Insti-
tute has been located in Edge
field. The exercises have not only
reflected credit upon the students
but bear testimony to the fact
that better work throughout every
department of the institution has
been done during the past session
than ever before in the history of
the S. G. C. I. That all of the
present faculty will return next
session, will be pleasing intelli-
gence to the patrons of this splen-
did institution.
