office when in Butler last week. He
missed the big broad smile of the old

a son of the old one, and by nature
has inherited the social qualities OF
his father. We enjoyed a pleasant
chat with him. He told us that his
father was enjoying his position al

Some Of the state democratic pap
ers are advocating that the state
central committee be called together
and that they hold . caucus with the
democratic members of the house
and senate before the special ses-
sion, and be governed by the result.
That is fine program. inasmuch AZ
the last meeting of that illustrious
body passed resolutions instructinE
Gov. Shafroth to not call the special
session for the redemption of the
party pledges. Right here the Trib-
une desires to state that that very
undemocratic resolution OF the state
committee was secured by the pres
ence OF proxies secured and pass

pose of adopting that same resolu-
tion. Thanks to the record OF Weld

small world which knows remembers
cold contracted, a gradual decline,

tuberculosis. But the world has
neither the time nor the Inclination
to go back a little further, to ascer-

cold; the jocnlar remarks of ac-
quaintances and the silent nursing Of
a wounded heart. Then there came
a trip to lower altitude and, NO re-

Colorado. The decline has been
rapid. A few years more, then will
come death-the world says from
tuberculosis few know OF a

Wilson's Election Indicated.

Trenton, n. J., Nov S.-Returns
from the election in New Jersey today
were very slow in coming in tonight,
but figures available at 10 o'clock in
dicated the election of Woodrow Will
son, Democrat, for governor, the only
State Office to be filled, by between
10000 and 10000 plurality, over Wv
ian NJ. Lewis, his Republican oppon-
ent. Most of the early returns from
former Republican strongholds, while
they show Lewis to be in the lead, a
falling off in the normal Republican
vote is indicated, on which the Demo-
cratic claim for Wilson's success was
based.
At 10 o'clock only 81 of the 1898
voting districts had been heard from.
These gave Lewis 12,769; Wilson H.
500. In 1908 Taft received in the same
districts 1885 to 1887 for Bryan.

to be held in Columbia from Decem-

ly $4,000 has been secured by the ex-
position for the best corn to be grown

well as entertaining. It will mark
the climax of corn production in the
South and offers prizes that make it
worth while to send in exhibits.
Every farmer in the three States is
requested to send his exhibits to the
exposition.
There are number of corn shows
being held in the various counties Of
the State. Each county will be asked
to send an exhibit to the exposition.
Besides several well known speak

opera house.
This is the exact same production
which played to capacity business in
all the principal cities of the South

stage version of the popular story ever
written.
Just as the book of st. Elmo" has
retained its popularity all these years
and will probably live forever, so will
the play of ''St. Elmo" live forever. If
the reading Of the fascinating story

what the effect the play will have,
when you are permitted to See and

St. Elmo Murray, whom all the girls

LEW WALLACE'S aBEN-HUR.'
To Be Presented in Columbia, S. C.,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
November 81, %, 29.

The management of the Columbia
theatre, Columbia, S. c., have arrang-
ed with Klaw & Erlanger for the pre-
sentation Of Lew Wallace's powerful
religio-historic spectacle, "Ben-Hur''
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and Wednesday matinees,
November 81, % and %.
"Ben-Hur," with it's 1ustrous "Star
Of Bethlehem it's camels, Ara
bian steeds, Oriental trappsry and
mimic splendor Of the gorgeous East,
is beyond doubt the most elaborate
spectacle ever staged in the history
Of the world. Its series Of
scenes present to the eye feast Of
multifarious beauty and variety all
set to a symphonic accompaniment Of
graceful music. The exciting epi-
sodes, such as the galley scene with
it's horde Of chained slaves, the sea
fight, the rescue in mid-sea, the thrill
ling race with it's quadruple teams
Of galloping horses, combined with
the picturesque scenes representing
the appearance Of the Star to the Wise
Men in the Desert, the moonlit Lake
in the Orchard Of Palms, where Ben
Hur and Iras make love while drift
ing in the barge Of the fair Egyptian,
the palm-waving worshippers on the
Mount Of Olives, simply captivate the
great audiences that are nightly in
attendance wherever it is being en-
acted.
AS now arranged and staged BY
Klaw & Erlanger, the public sees a
great spectacle which appeals not
merely on the strength Of its drama
tic values, but as colossal and pic
turesque pageant. And. in the chariot
race, the scene which, coupled with
the popularity of General Wallace's
book, gave the play its enormous
vogue, eight horses, aided by the most
intricate mechanisms, produce the
prodigious illusion of the struggle for
supremacy in the arena Of the Circus
Of Antioch. Edgar Stillman Kelley's
brilliant musical score, which so
heightens the dignity and solemnity
of the Biblical narrative, and was one
Of the most potent factors in its sue
cess, is made dominant feature Of
the present production, being inter-
preted by a special orchestra and
chorus carried by the company for
that purpose.
Seats for "Ben-Hur" will be placed
on sale at the Columbia theatre box
Office Tuesday morning, November Is.
Prices will range from Is cents to

intend visiting Columbia to see this
great spectacle, to reserve seats at
