When ! was told TO find this great
circus and remain with it until had
sccn everything in show life thought
the job WAS All easy one, but | was
mixed in my calculations. Suppose IL
man were to tell you to run after Il
town Of >, 600 persons that was flying
before cyclone; catch it, go through
it and get all the news there was in
the place, what would you DO?
That would be an easy task compar-
ed to the circus story, for the cyclone
would get tired and stop The cilcus
acvcr does this 1t is whirlwind Of
novelties carried about by 4 tornado
of energy that beats all the freaks of
the elements. There are many towns
in Georgia, considered prosperous and
growing, that have less than half as
many PERSONS in it az are with the
Forcpaugh-Sells Circus
For 20 weeks these people and ami
mails have been whirling from one
town to another like shooting stars in
the skies. They have been here to-
day and there tomorrow, but it is the
same thing every day in the week, cx-
ecpting Sunday, which is day of rest
and house cleaning Last Saturday
the circus was 1T Anderson, S. G.,
where it showed to big crowd twice
during the day and that night was
travelling swiftly towards Augusta.
Early Sunday morning the Il rail
road cars reached that town and the
work "f unloading began. 1t would
take President Mckinley Il week to
unload tha, train; Chaunccy Dcpcw
couldn't DO it in less than ten lays;
William j. Bryan would need two
weeks; the Prince Of Wales would
need three, and would want a month
and all earthquake to shake the things
off if | had to take the contract.
t:lo man who la, charge vi the
transportation did this work with his
army of helpers in less than two hours.
There Was not profanc expression, a
harsh word or II rough act in the whole
transaction. 1t was ease If hustlc
from start 20 finish. 1t was run and
jump from the minute the train stop
ped until everything had been done.
Ihch there was little rest; fires were
klndlcd, pipes were lighted and quiet
time was had the balance of the day.
Tie first thing off the cars was the
cooking outfit, and the mcnagcric can
vas, with the animal cages, close be-
hind. While the unloading was being
done stout man Will, little bunch
Of wkiskcrs on his chin WAS tearing
over ground to the circus lot like
fast mail train two hours behind time.
That Was Mir. james Jordan. the bos,
oanvasman. aud he is said to hc the
best in the country.
Mr.. Jordan has pleasant face and
All even temper, but he controls his
men like a general would an army.
He wasted no time in salutes, for
every motion around circus means
something practical. Mr. Jordan
