In another column in this issue OF
The Herald and News will be seen the
list of the prizes awarded at the South
Atlantic States Corn exposition, no"
IN progress in Columbia, and it taxes
emily a. casual glance at the list to see
shat Newberry easily carries OF the
Aonors.
A great deal Of the credit, and IN
Fact, the main credit for the success OF
this exposition is due to MI. A. ~
Hudson, of this county, who is presa-
dent Of the association. It was large
" through his untiring efforts that the
exposition was launched, and has been
successfully carried through. Mr..
Hudson has model farm himself, and
his displays of corn won many OF the
grizes at the exposition.
In the grand sweepstakes for North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia,
the first prize for the best single ear
variety, white corn, 10 ears, was

For Newberry county the prizes
were as follows:

I'd prize, $500. A. Sligh, Slighs.
Sd prize, $500. H. Eargle, Po-
maria
4th prize, s2.o0-I. NJ. Smith, Kin
ards.
That Newberry is the banner county
in this corn exposition, both in having
the president and in the number OF
prizes taken, is peculiarly gratifying
and shows the stand which the people
of Newberry county are taking for di-
versifed farming, and for a greater
county, greater State and greater
South.
While the worlds record for corn
production to the acre is held by
South Carolina, this honor has not yet
come to Newberry county, but the
great stimulus which this exposition
has given the growing of corn in this
county, taken in consideration with
the energy Of Newberry people, makes
it not impossible that in the not far
future NewbeTry county will
have record second to none. At least,
that is the ideal which has been set-

Is the reason.
It was at the Gaiety Museum in
New York. which long since has b.:
closed, that s.lateur night" "ES Orr
ginated. Sixteen years ago roughness
and horse-play and cries of "Get the
hook" were not associated with ANA
teur nights. The amateurs who went
On were the genuine article. Stage
struck girls from the factories, sing
ing and whistling newsboys and young
plumbers or clerks in Bowery stores
who fully believed they were destined
to be Herimanns Or Kelars went on
at the old amateur nights at the Gaiety'
Amateur nights at the Gaiety was
only once week, but the freaks were
on hand all the tine. There were
some more popular than others who
had drawing power and following all
their own. There were the Murray
triplets, for instance, three cookbook
ing young men, dwarfsd, who dere
carefully chaperoned by their mother
The fond and watchful mother kept
a childs toy bank on the platform at
the feet of the best-looking OF the
triplets. When any particularly bold
or forward young girl pressed for
ward too closely, watchful Mrs. Muir
ray would say: "If you think so much
of Tommy, put dime in his bank" 1t
was surprising how many dimes would
be forthcoming in the course OF a
busy day and evening.
One Of the prime favorites in ST.
Louis museums was Emma Schaler'
the ossifed girl. She was a bright
girl and pretty so far as eyes ana
features were concerned. She entered
the ranks of human curiositi7s as the
living skeleton debutante," and as such
starred over the dime museum circuit
east and west and north and south
with James Coffee, "the skeleton
dude"
Eli Rowen, the armless wonder, was
q man of handsome face and stalWart
torso. He was well educated and was
undoubtedly one of the most intelli-
gent Of freaks. He did acrobat1c
stunts, wrote visiting cards and was
otherwise a capable entertainer. oc-
casionally he edited the museum aud
fences with song and story.
Before the days of Jack Johnson's
success as wit and repartee as well
as fstic endeavor, George, the turtle
boy, was most famous among his race
as q wit. The turtle BOY had fiiprAr2
instead of arms and leg. III a;s !.:ho-

PASSING OF THE DINE MUSEUM
Cireus Freaks Have Given Way to the
Moving Picture Shows.

Much has been written OF the
E=changes in the theatrical world by the
entrance of the popular moVlng-plc-
+rre show. but the disastrous effect OF
this cheap amusement on the Gloss OF
entertainers known to the public as
freaks is not generally known.
But a few years ago, so short time
in fact, that young men and women ol
% and 80 years can not help Dut re-
member them, the dime museums OF
the country were heavily patronlzeo
Most Of the amusement seekers OF to-
dav can remember when their home
town held such a palace" OF enter
tainment where they could inspect the
most alarming looking examples OF
human life, look over a be"Nderlng
collection Of wax works, and lsten to
vaudeville show all for the sum OF
10 cents. Who among us OF mature
wears has forgotten the wonderful
glass blower always to be founo ID
those days in a corner of the museum
or the marvellous product of his Skill
which he sold as "souVenirs"'
With the increasing popularity OF
the moving-picture houses. these
museums have, year by year, 0ecom2
less in favor. The armless wonder
no longer attracts. The daring SWORD
swallower can not even interest the
boys, and the jovial fat lady with her
package of photographs has become a
decided back number.
Outside of the circus tents few hu-
man curiosities are now exnlolteo'
There has been a great slump in the
freak business.
The popularity Of nature freaks as
public entertainers was at its helgh'
about IS years ago.
Then the living pin cushion, the hu-
man frog and others Of like 1lk tray
eled over a circuit of museums TWO or
more times during season. they
commanded salaries that would COM
oare favorably with the remuneration
given now to some of our foremost
theatrical stars Now the human frog
IS glad to hop about flfty-foot tent
for SIS a week, and the living pin
cushion has to stand lots of painful
tests for not more than $40.
Twenty years ago the famous Bow
cry, in New York, was lined with dime
museums. Now there is not one OF
these houses in Greater New York. IN
St. Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and other large cities conditions

At the call of Mayor J. G.. Setter, a
mass meeting of the voters of the

Rev. G. f.. Barnard, president of the

was chosen chairman and was in
charge of the meeting and called upon
various persons present to give talks
along the line of law enforcement in
Marion. Mayor j. G.. Setter was the
first to speak during the evening and
he outlined briefly the object of call
ing the men together. He declared
that he intended to enforce the law
but that he had only the police force
to detect "bootlegging" and, inasmuch
as these men were In uniform they
do not serve well as detectives. lie
asked that detectives be employed.

Mayor in concluding his short talk
but we will need the cooperation
of the good citizens of Marion to see
that these laws are enforced"

length. He thought that there were
many people in Marion now who know
what law is who never before had APP
preclated the meaning of the term
He said that he understood that $20,-
900 was subscribed with which to en-
ploy detectives in Wyardot county
A quite heated discussion was en-
gagged in, as to whether any effort
was being made to collect the Aiken
tax in the seven cases of Marion men
found guilty at Prospect Of" boot
Logging" some time ago. 1t was the
general opinion of those present that
1T was the business of the prosecuting
attorney to see to the collection OF
this tax Attorney J. ii. Eymon, who
was present, declared that as much
effort as could he made under the
circumstances had been put forth
Among those who spoke during the
evening were Rev. ID. III. Bailey, II. G.

port for the Month.

a new reform is to be instituted by
Mayor John q. Setter. The state
law regulating the custom OF drivers
of vehicles and automobiles on tnc
public highways, is to be rigidly en-
forced.
Since several accidents have oc-
cured in the local streets as the re-
suc of the failure of drivers to OBJ
serve the law. Mayor Setter has de-
cided to take the matter in hand
ANY driver OF either horse or
automobile who is caught on the
wrong side of the street, from this
time on, will be prosecuted and
fined" declared the mayor Wednes-
day morning. Everybody who is old
enough to be entrusted with horse
or an automobile, knows that he
must run to the right on all public
highways. Only yesterday l saw a
man buzzing down Center street in q
machine, running on the left side
of the street exclaimed Mayor
Setter.
There has never been any strict
enforcement of the state law con-
concerning this matter, in Marion. II
the street looks better on the left
side, the autoist usually monopolizes
that portion of the street. In the
cities, the law is rigidly enforced and
but few accidents occur as a result
Mayor Setter has been carefully OBJ
serving this feature within the pas
several days and declares that ac'
cidents can be practically eliminated
If the law is enforced. The police have
been instructed accordingly and nj
leniency will be shown violators.
