TEE OHABLOm NEWS, OCTOBER. IS. 1911 scymiE ^ Local Entertainmait Commit^ tee Has Received no NotiHc* ation lhat the GUdden lour^ ists Will be Delayed on Ac- ccmt of 7he Rain. It is Likely lhat They mU Reach Charlotte on Schtduk lime—Committee Has Been Expecting Message all Day. Tbe Olldden tourists. 300 strong, will arrive in the cltr tomoirow afternoon between 4 and 6 o'clock If nothing untoward happens and the whole city will Ukely turn out to greet them. While he heavy rains of yesterday caught the tourists in Roanoke and caused some discussion as to whether they should continue according to schedule or wait a little while till the roads improved it is likely that they mill reach Charlotte tomorrow afternoon between 4 and 5 o’clock. The foundation for this belief is the fact that the local entertainment com mittee has received notlflcation today to the effect that there will not beany delay in the program. They have been expecting all day that some announce ment of Change in schedule would be forthconjing. but up to 2:30 o’clock nothing of the kind had been received. The‘tourists reached Roanoke last night in a terrific downrour of rain and of ahere’s any decision to wait awhile the m-ait will be at Roanoke, where they spent last ni^hi. The continuance or postponement of the schedule was conditioned on the report of Referee Walker, who was to make an examin ation of the roads this morning. The fact that the report of adelay was sent to the local entertainment committee today inclines the commit tee to believe that the tourists will come on to Charlotte on schedule time. The sunshine of the early morning, which has continued all day will go far toward drying up the roads and the belief, until announcement to the con trary is made, is that the tourists will r^ach Charlotte tomorrok afternoon according to schedule. Leave Roanoke. Roanoke, Va., Oct. 18.—The Glibbeu tourists left Roanoke at 11:45 o'clock this morning, having been delayed by bad roads south of here.

Cfn thinking of it—on looking at shoes, rubbers, skirts—underskirts and over- sklrts-->that are entirely out of commis sion by reaoso of having been to the circus, one need not be reminded of the fact that the Yankees couldn’t get to Charlotte during the wtr on ac count of the mud.

Many Who Came to See the Cipcus Yesterday Remasmd Oper lUl Morning to Tell Records Smith About lU Many $10 Contributions. As nn aftermath of the visit of the circus to the city yesterday Recorder D. B. Smith preaided at a prolonged matinee performance today, the list of performers being the largest that the new quarters has known. White and black, youthful and decrepit, large and small, handsome and otherwise, the defendants appeared. One phrase fell from the lips of Solicitor Parker from half-past nine o’clock until nearly elev.en o’clock. That phrase was; “You are charged with being drunk yester day; how do you plead?” In a vast majority of cases the answer was the single word, “guiltj'.” His honor, the recorder, was in a mood to place fines that would better eftable the celebrants to remember the 1911 visit of the Barnum & Bailey cir cus than the terrible rain and conse quent mud at the show ground. Will Harwood, white, w'as fined 110 and the costs. After him came #ohn Letch, colored; John Wilson, colored; Tom Leach, colored; C. W. Matthews, white; Ephrlam Alexander, white; Abram Mullis, white; Andy Houston, colored; J. D. Abernethy, white; Aus tin Thompson, white; John Tiger, col- orcd; John Rose, colored; W. T. Eflrd, white; all of whom paid $10 and the costs for the great luxury of getting into various &tages of inebriety yester day and planting through the rain and mud all day. Robert Sutton, a colored hack driver, was fined $25 and costs for his drunk, which was not a plain, ordinary and unembellished drunk, but was adorned with considerable cussin’ and disorder. E. A. KirKpatrick, a Cabarrus county man, came to see the circus in his best to^[& and did not forget his pistol. He was having‘the time of his life at Independence Square when a vigilant policeman detected that he was drunk and arresting him, discovered that he had a pistol. “Sixty days,” was the sententious re mark of the recorder when he heard the evidence. Lazarus Sweet, another out-of-town negro, brought a razor v.iih him when he came to see the cir- cus yesterday, and he was given 30 days for doing so. Will Barrett, who keeps a restaurant below the Southern depot was adjudg ed not guilty of selling a pint,of whis key yesterday to Leroy Pridgen and W. P. Pendleton. Barrett was repre sented by Mr. J.
