GREAT CROWDS
SAWJG CIRCUS.
Forepaugh & Sells Bros.'
Shows Had Full Sway.
12,000 VISITORS HERE.
Tke Weather Was Ideal, the Crowds
Good Matured, and There was net a
Single Untoward Incident.
Twelve thousand people visited Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers' big circus
last Saturday. That many went to
both performances, several thousands
more saw the street parade and?went
home.
It waa a great day, a great circus
day. The weather was simply ideal,
no dust, no mud, a delightfully charm
ing autumn day. It had been three
years since a big attraction like Fore
paugh and Sells Brothera visited Lau
rans so they found the people anxious
to see the show. And it was a great
?how too, far too big to describe here.
Everything was shown as advertised,
and a great deal more. The feature of
the whole show was, of course, the
wonderful performances of the men
who "looped the loop" and "flew the
flume" 'or "gapped the gap" on a bi
cycle Neither of these feats were
?Ter seen in Laurens before, although
"looping the loop" has been a regular
attraction for sometime. Flying the
flume or jumping over a row of ele
phants, a distance of fifty one feet, is
new. The man who accomp.isbed this
performance is paid a hundred dollars
every time he makes; that daring ride
and jump.
At noon Friday (he people began ar
riving Mil the city Irom the various
towns and on Saturday morniag ex
reurtion trains from spartanburg, New
berry, Greenville and Greenwood
brought in thousands.
The cotton mills, furniture fac'ory
and other enterprises closed for the
day and it is safe to presume that very
little cotton was picked in the county
Saturday.
The best of order prevailed and there
waa not a single untoward incident to
mar the pleasure of the event.

ware Co. says: "I consider Dr. King's
Blood and Liver Pills very best I ever
used." Dr. King's always cure. Sold

given the nomination in the primary

of accidental origin.
