HERE COMES THE CIRCTS! , With Claw lis and Bnlhhuu Screeching and the Calliope Sounding a The parade in coming -hoar thej 'calliope scream around the corner! The (treat- Three-King Circus of the Grand Old State of South Carolina, featuring the Most Stupendous, the Most Gigantic Coterie of Hand-Shakink, Baby Kissing Liars in the Wide, Wide World, is about to thunder #cross the counties of the state. The barkers will be on their stages and Wonders from every corner of the state will bo on exhibition! It is campaign year, and the Democrats of tho state will put on their big show. Candidates for governor, secretary of state and other posts win stand on their hind legs, thunder charges, refute libels anil make blue-: prints of the progress the state would make under them, if elected. The batuls will blare, the crowds will sfaro and no one will hear. Clouds of dust will rise to tho heavens, after being stirred from the bosom of the earth 'by the feet of people who l\ave tramped across the fields to the show-grounds. Peanuts will pop, red lemonade will trickle down throats, sometimes as pilot, but more frequently as chaser; sweat will j How on honest brows and the whittling of sticks will clutter up tho terrain. When the big top comes down and the show has gone, it will be just like the day after the circus. Everything will be in a mess; no one will bo wiser for what he ha A heard; no one will have any better idea of the sort of men seeking office; no one will have seen or heard a statesman. The guy longest to .be remembered by the rubes will be he who played the calliope?he of the leather lungs and stentorian tones?he who yelled the loudest and the longest. The Greatest Show on Earth will have come and gone, and its fading away will be represented only by the scream of the calliope, as the wagons lumber away to the station. And? in gratitude for his headlining efforts the people of the state will elect that calliope player to tho dignified office of Governor of South Carolina?Chief Magistrate of the Palmetto State?where for four years he can tickle-?not tackle?the legislature and sign pardons for murderers until he is forced by cramps ;n his writing hand to give up this favorite pastime of governors. And folks?that vision of the governor's office, is what causes him to make the calliope scream so loudly; he is not in pain and he is not mad at anything or anyone?he just wants to be governor and be called "Your Excellency." And ain't that a joke.?Marion Star.
