ALL THE PEOPLE CAME
TO SEE THE CIRCUS
" i
Here Were Circus Hungry.?Largest
Crowd Ever in Newberry.?The
Best of Gocd Ordsr FrevaiicJ.
What is said to have been tne
"Sarjest crowd of people ever before
in town was here Tuesday, circus
<iaj\ It looked as though the entire
population of the county was mingling
with tiie population of the ci.y.
"T3ie last census gave the population
the county something like 26,000.
The capacity of Sparks circus tent is:
5,000, It was jammed and rammed
liie nrsL aicernoon penorniance,
-and so many people being unable to
in, the crowd on the outside
swarming Jike flies in the heat and
dost, that the managers had to give i
a. second performance in the after-;
i noon, a hitherto unheard of event in
Newberry, making with the nrij|ht
show three performances by one!
circus. The second and third times
the tent was not of course as crowded
as the first, but the crowds were
N laree. Newberry* being hungry for a
trircus. The three performances must
fcve been seen by 10,000 persons or
more, and as the population of the
TOimty has grown from 26,000, and'
judging from the crowds that did not
go to the show at all, there must have
Ibeen 15 or 20,000 people in town
-that day. It was a mass of humanity,
vcrcr^ding the streets, going and com-,
*ng, and wedging in a dense pack on :
the ground. ^
And automobiles! There are 1,050
ttn the tax books of Newberry alon6,
:and many that are not yet on the
books. There are something like
1,400 automobiles, trucks, etc.,:
from Newberry registered by the
estate, most of the "vehicles" being
; -automobiles. They must have all
t>een here Tuesday. We never saw
?o many people and automobiles be- j
lore m inisiown.
/ ^Notwithstanding the jam every"thing
passed off quietly. One lady
. tainted in the crowd before the
ticket wagon.
The parade was not great, the best'
thing in it being the steam piano.!
The menagerie was small and insignificant,
and the clowns were not
much. The circus performance was
atiurt, but what there was of, it, was
^ood, some of it being wonderful.
<Dne lady thinking the weatherbe
cool when the show was
<wpr took an extra sweater with her.
"She Boon found out that she didn't
need one. Everything and every:
was good-natured, and we aU:
?cn.loyed the *show anyhow. \
**>15 f.~e nlarm threw the remain
-crowd into commotion at 4:15,
bat it wnas nothing of a fire. j

Hudson county, New Jersey. I was
a sick man at the time, so sick and
weak that the prison doctor r^com-'
mended that I be discharged in order
to have a chance to die on the out- 1
side. . 1
"One morning they brought a patrol
wagon to the door of the 'pen,' and I
went out. It was to take me down
town to the judge's'court, who was to (
give me my discharge. 'New York

near the door of the jail. Jimmy was
serving a term, and we had become
friends.

Jimmy has gone home to his folks !
in New York state. He was not anx- j

cultivate the acquaintance of prying i
detectives from city hall.
"I feel certain that Jimmy is going i
straight," said Mr. Long.' "It was a;
wonderful conversion." j
