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.
