The AL. G. Barnes Big BRING
Wild Animal Circus is coming,
and will give two performances
here on Thursday, Oct. 10th.
The coming of this great wild
animal show always ELECTS a great
deal of interest, as no other circus
equals the Barnes show for the
multitude of entirely original wild
animal features presented.
Practically the entire entertain
ment provided by this show is
given by the use of educated ami
mals-600 in number-animals of
almost every known species. The
show is still a circus, however,
circus from which all tiresome and
Objectionable features have been
eliminated, but which retains ii e
many Traditional elements that fer
years have made the circus TIE
most popular form Of entertain
ment.
For instance; there are in..u-
nerable equestrians, s.crobats, jng-
gltrs tumblers, high divers, Lare
back riders, etc. The performers

ones too-for circus woul not
be true to tradition without clowns,
There's sawdust rings and pink
lemonade, forwhat's circus with
out them, otherwise the Barnes
Circus is an animal show, exclu-
sively so.
Prominent among the great
feature acts presented are Tom,
Dick and Harry, Juggling horse
riding sea lions; Sampson, the
aviation lion, that rides to the top
of the tent surrounded by shooting
sky rockets; Big Bill, the wrpst-

The big sensational, thrilling
spectacle of the program is the
group of twenty four, man-eating
African lions sh wn in one act by
Herr Louie Roth. These lions are
valued at $4,000 and represent
the greatest wild animal act ever
known.
Fifty comedy elephants, bears,

Bought and Faid For. -

There has been great deal of inter-
est manifested in the forth coming en-
gagement of George Broadhurst's STIR
ring drama-comedy of married life,
Bought and Paid For" which played
for one solid year at the Playhouse, in
New York City. and which will be
seen here for one night at Opera House
Friday Oct. 9th.
The plot deals with Robert Stafford,
handsome, young, self made million
aire, and man of domineering will,
who woes Virginia Blaine, a pretty
telephone operator at fashionable
hotel, while transacting business over
the long distance wire. He invited
her, and her sister Fanny, and Fanny's
fiance, Jimmy Gilley, a self-conceited
shipping clerk, with superfuous ideas;
to visit his palatial home. While show
ing her the treasures of his bachelor
quarters. he proposes and, although
she does not love him, she is dazzled
by her surroundings and accepts him.
At the supper which follows he pro-
poses toast to the future Mrs. Stat
ford, much to the surprise of the other
guests.
Two years later the telephone girl is
the wife of this money king, who has
one serious fault that mars the hsppi-
ness of her cherished .domesticity. He
occasionally comes home intoxicated
and when in this condition, he is an en-
tirely different being. Thus it occurs
that in the second act Stafford comes
home in this shape, and disgusts his
wife by his insinuations and by forcing
his attention upon her. In his frenzy
he tells her his checkbook has been the
means of making her his wife and es-
tablishing her in his home. But the
uext day she agrees to a reconciliation
if he will foreswear drinking. This he
refuses to do on the ground that he
will not be dictated to. His wife leaves
him and goes back to work. Brother
in-law Gilley has also come down in the
world with his sister-in-law' difficulty
with her husband, and informs her that
by her quixotry she has absolutely
ruined his career, and conspires to
bring about new arrangement of af-
fairs. He calls the now penitent Stat
ford on the phone and tells him his
wife wishes to see him. They meet
and rush into each others arms and
all is forgiven.

American Road Congress.

"Overtopping all other road
problems in its Importance is
that of maintenance" says Logan
Waller Page, Director of the u.
) Office of Public Roads and Pres
,dent OF the American Highway
Association. The destr nctive
agencies of traffic and the elements
are urceasing in their activities
and it is idle TO talk of permanent
roads any more than to speak of a
house, a fence, or a railroad tie
as permanent. says MIR. Page.
The public roads today, by rea-
son of the exceptionally destruc-
tive traffic conditions, are more
costly in Construction and this is
continually increasing with the
advance in the prices of labor and
material. 1t is criminally waste
full, therefore. TO invest large sums
of public money in building the
highways demanded by traffic, I'M
less the investment is conserved
by ADEQUATE maintenance. With
out such adequate mainte n
ance a road costing anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile
may go to ruin in a year or two
thus involving a permanent loss of
considerable magnitude.
When it is considered chat the
aggregate expenditure on roads
in the United States is well over
$500, 900, 600 annually, the serious
ness of the question is apparent.
| look to the conference of high
way officials which will be held
during the Fourth American Road
Congress, which meets in Atlanta,
Georgia, on November 9, to- de.
vote much attention to road main
tenance, and that the accumula-
tive moral effect of their findings
will go far towards bringing legis-
latures and county boards to a
realization of the necessity for
prompt and efficient action. The
roods should be classified and suit
able maintenance, in organization
and money, provided according to
the importan, of the representa-
tive classes of roads"
One of the questions which the
Congress will discuss is that rela-
ting TO the revision of road laws.
A complete compilation of the
road laws of all the states will be
available for the session devoted
to legislation and it is expected
that in outlining bases for reyis-
ion, maintenance will be given
particular attention.

The Question Of the Hour.

At the cotton conference held in
New Orleans last week, the ques-
ton of the total elimination or 81
per cent reduction of the cotton
crop for 1915, occupied the entire
attention of the delegates and
while the logical reasoning for the
adoption of the first plan was for
titled by figures that deserved
sober consideration, legislation
along that line would be entirely
unconstitutional, is the conviction
of our Governor.
SO that muchly discussed point
which in the opinion Of a great
many was never practical or FEAST
BILE, disposes of itself and TIE
fifty per cent reduction is the
problem that is of greatest mo-
ment, but how it is to be solved
depends upon educative and not
Legislative methods.
There is but one and only one
way to curtail cotton production
and that is to convince the farmer
that be can make better living
by raising other things with cotton.
and to preach and preach and
illustrate the value of diversified.
ton. This diversifcation theory
is not a new one; it goes back to
the biblical days when Joseph of
old went before Pharoah and in
terpreted his famous dream of the
fat and lean kline and those he
convinced and who had the cour-
age of their conviction, were the
only ones who went thru the hard
ships of those times which were
Just a little bit worse than the
conditions that face the cotton
planter of to-day.
No greater crisis confronts the
South now than has been always
the case, the only difference is the
panicky feeling that has been
aroused by conditions brought
about thru the European war
that has effected a greater number
but if thru it the laws of diversli
cation are studied and understood
md put into practice, theL the
South will have learned its lesson.
