Ar THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Franklin Caveny
VIII Appear Wednesday.

With J. Franklin Cavney. the ia
nous crayon artist and impersonator,
who will appear in the Academy of
Music on November 3, under the
auspices Of the Radcliff Entertain
ment Bureau. will come also his
wife, Mrs. Marie NJ Caveny, an ac-
ccmplished pianist and soprano
singer, whose voice has won the de-
lighted praise of many an audience
and newspaper critic.
While Mrs. Caveny sings, accom-
panying herself on the piano, her
husband with rapid hand, illustrates
the song with graphic crayon sketch
es, many Of which are - In colors.
Beautiful scenes of land and water,
day and night, summer and winter,
according to the song. appear upon
the board with almost startling rap
idity, keeping pace with the chang
ing sentiment Of the music. The
ombination Is irresistible. Either
Caveny or his wife alone would be
able to entertain an audience, but
acting together in this way. they Of
fer something novel and wholly de-
lightful.
There will be other features or

to furnish interest and amusement

strokes, Caveny makes fine scene
stand out and then with few more
changes it into something SO entire
ly different that it makes an audi

turns upon himself and before one
can realize what has happened, the
artist has gone and Jekyl and Hyde
are in the room. All the time his
witty monologue keeps the audi
eHce laughing.

NEWS FROM BOWMAN.
Correspondent Says Cotton Crop Is
Turning Out Good.

Bowman, Oct. 29.-Special: The
boom in cotton caused some little
excitement among the buyers here
yesterday, when the price touched
IA 1-S cents per pound. The Bow
man cotton market has been upus-
ually active since the opening of
the season, and the record of sales
to date has more than doubled any
previous years work. The cry
among farmers around here some
time ago was "a short CROP" but
facts have been brought out recent
ly in which some have stated that
the yield his season will exceed
that of last year. The condition
varies in some localities, but upon
the whole. this section has pro-
duced good corn and cotton crops.
The increase in price OF the staple
has caused cotton to come proms-
nently before the people as the
money crop" Good stiff bank &C
counts are being piled up by some
Of our Bowman farmers. A few of

with themselves for going into the
scheme. 1t is too late to grieve over
the matter; it's done and can't be

the fever too and took a bite or two
to their bitter disappointment.

amount of infammabe materia! was

THE CIRCUS YESTERDAY.
Rowc's Great LONDON Shows Pleased
Large Crowds.

The circus was in town yesterday
AMI everybody seemed to be happy
and having the time OF their ilfe.
Howe's Great London Shows put
on two performances in OrangeburG
Yesterday (Friday), afternoon and
evening and was attended by good
crowds of show loving people. They
came from far and near.
The circus, like most things, has
its follics and frailties, but some
how. il holds steady place in the
human heart. Its novelty never
grows stale. To the youthful imag-
ination this is peculiarly so. and tn"
recollection OF the circus days, back
in ones youth, is something one real
ly cherishes. Those gay and fear
less bareback rilers-were there
ever mortals quite SO favored rs
they?
And the old clown-was ere
ever anything so funny or so wise
as he grimanccd with his painted
face, and ran un against the tent
pole and mourncl the accident to
his unharmei ani giiicd nose?
There was a street parade, but
some were disappointed, as all the
streets usually paraded through by
circuses when they come to Orange
burg. were not favored with a
march by the clown and elephant,

Quite serious accident happened
