last NIGHT At E[K'S
CIRCUS lobe BEST
After a -Four Days Stand.
Performance Will Close
Late Tonight.

"a EatHN- H-MaM#nH 1881. 4HnI
The splendid circus given by the
local Blks in the Fairmont armory
during the last three evenings will
close with a program tonight Of great
er magnitfcencel than any Of the pre-.
ceeding ones.
More than 1000 persons were In at.
tendance last night, and the receipts
amounted to nearly $500 for that night
alone, making a total OF about $500
for the three nights. Preparations are
being made to care for the crowd OF
1000 persons tonight, and the total
receipts for the four nights probably
will amount to $500.
The freedom with which the throngs
attending the circus are spendi;S
their money is due to the fact that
the entire proceeds of the entertain
ment are to be devoted to the Elks,
charity fund, which is used for the
relief Of destitute persons throughout
Fairmont and Vicinity regas@ess Of
whether they. are affiliated with the
Elks or not.
The generous patronage OF the cir.
Gus and its splendid success means
that scores Of destitute widows and
the children dependent upon them
will receive aid during the coming
year.
The hall was even more brilliantly
decorated last night than on the prev.
ious nights Of the performance and
the excellent shows gave full pro.
grams with added features which won
the appreciation Of the audience which
was expressed by liberal applause in.
Guiding clapping for the thrilling
stunts and laughter for the comedy.
The great feature Of the show last
night was the clever performances by
local business and professional men
who appeared on the stage and in the
side shows made up as clowns, saw
age animals, birds and wild men.
Bert s. Leopold, chairman of the
Elks' circus management, was very
busy all last evening directing the va.
rlous activities Of the big show. He
was arrayed strikingly in a tall silk
hat, a brilliant vest with great silver
buttons and last S;ut not least flow.
ing spotted blue and white necktie.
Arch f. Brownleld. assistant man
ager, and w. ID. Evans, the secretary,
were also on the job fittingly arrayed
for the gay occasion. NJ. q. Ashcraft,
the treasurer, was on hand with q
bright smile on his face which grew
in b%riliianeei as the dimes and nickels
poured in the Golfers Of the charity
fund. ~

wide piece Of knitting, a third needle
Is often necessary; instead OF this
%expedient, Try the one Of putting a
cork on one end OF the needle to keep
the stitches from Slipping of; 1t will
be found a simple method, says the
Dallas News.
II the corks are slipped over the

there is no danger OF the bag being
p%unctured by the sharp points. The
same plan may be adopted to keep
the extra needles at hand.

COUNTRY STORE ROBBED.

R0bber Located I'm Old House nearby
and Shot when lie Attempted to Get
Away.
A strange white man, giving his
name as John Will Smith and his
home as Waco, Tex, was shot, seri-
ously wounded and captured Wednes-
day morning in the Eden community,
ollowing the robbery of I. A. Reaves'
store the night before. He was car
riod to Gray Court by his captors and
from there brought to Laurens We'd
nesday night by Deputy Sheriff Blake
ly. Later he was transferred to the
Julia lrby sanitarium where DR.. Vim
cent, assisted by Drs. Hughes and
Bearden, performed an operation, sc "
ing up four bowel performations be-
sides giving other treatment. The
wounds were particularly dangerous
aud at one time it was thought he
could not survive an operation. He
has rested very we'll since the opera
ton and the Indications are that he
will recover.
According to Smiths own story, lie
entered the store in search Of food
and money, being out Of employment
and unable to find any Tuesday lie
loitered around Gray Court and in the
evening went In the direction OF
Reaves' store. Some time during the
night he broke into the store and sat
isfied his hunger, but found no money.
Finding gun In the store he took
that with him and made his way to
the old house where he was later To-
Gated by the posse. Seeing that he was
entrapped he made an effort to escape
but as he rounded the corner of the
house he was shot by a member OF
the posse. He surrendered without
further resistance and admitted the
robbery.
Smith Is apparently about 80 years
Of age. He says that he has wife
and four children in Waco.

WOMEN TO USE INFLUENCE,
PasSagc of Five Bills in the Leeisla.
ture Of Especial Interest to Them.

An interview in The Columbia Rec
ord OF recent date given by Dr.. Jane
Bruce Guignard will be read with
peculiar interest here, Dr.. Guignard
being tho sister Of Rev. Sanders
Guignard, rector of the Church of the
Epiphany. The interview follows:
That there will be five bills before
the legislature at its coming session.
which are the particular business of
every woman in the state, is the
statement Of DR.. Jane Bruce Guig-
nard, president of the Equal Suffrage
league of Columbia.
"Dr. Guignard refers to the compul-
sorry education bill, the child labor
bill, the medical inspection bill, the
prohibition bill, and the Iowa injunc-
ton bill. These, she states, are the
concern of every woman whether she
Is a suffragits or not, and she begs
that the women I'm all sections of the
state, and in every walk of life, Will
make an effort to learn the meaning
OF these bills and inform themselves
as to the effects Of the passing of
these bills, and then use their influ-
ence-indirect thought it be-to help
get them passed.
Or. Guignard is herself an ardent
advocate Of every one Of these bills,
believing that they are of vital i'm
portance to the future welfare of the
state, and although she knows as we'll
as any one the various arguments ad
vanced against them, among them
the impossibility of getting them en-
forced, she believes with Mr.. Glad
stone that the passing of good laws
makes it easier to do right"

Attenpted Burglary.

Wednesday night someone, as yet
undiscovered, attempted to effect an
entrance into the store Of the Brooks
Hardware Company after the regular
closing hours. Iron bars protecting
one of the rear windows were wrench
ed out of place and the window sash
Il1artially raised, but it is thought
that the would-be intruder was
frightened away by the approach Of
Mr.. Brooks who returned after supper
to do some work upon his books. The
raised window and bent bars were
discovered by Mr.. Brooks when he
went TO the rear Of the store to bathe
bis hands. At first he was not sure
whether or not he and the burglar
were in the store together, but after
hasty search, SO 1t is stated, he was
considerably relieved to find that he
was alone In the store and the burglar
had gone. No clues could be found
to aid in a search for the burglar.

This is just the beginning said
the governor to the newspaper men
this afternoon. He Is seriously con-
siderne, he says, turning loose all
convicts remaining in the Penitentiary
and on chain gangs throughout the
state and in county jails. Over 1000

will probably be done next Saturday

turning loose Of all convicts before he
retircs from office. He has only ten
days left OF his term.
