CIRCUS TOO LARGE TO PARADE
Reasons Why 1arnum & Bailey Have
Abandoned 1t.

A circus that is too big to give
street parade" is a novelty even in
these days of colossal enterprises and
mammoth amusement institutions.
But that is the announcement of the
Barnum IL Bailey circus, which ex-
hibits in Americas next Wednesday Oct.
oath. In speaking of the reason for
this striking innovation, a representa-
tive of the big show said recently:
The Barnum & Bailey circus has be-
come so large that a parade is no long
er possible or even desirable. If we
could be absolutely sure of getting in
to town by daybreak, the parade
would still be feasible, but with our
five long trains of cars, this is too much
to expect of the railroad companies.
In many instances it is or o'clock
before the last section arrives, and 10
O'Clock before it, is unloaded and the
paraphernalia transferred to the show
grounds. This leaves just sufficient
time tie erect the big tent and prepare
for the afternoon performance. To
take several hundred men away from
the show grounds at the most critical
time in the morning, in order to give
a parade, would mean delay in opening,
and consequent discomfort to the pub
lie. To compel thousands of people to
stand out in front of tbs entrance, in
the sun or rain, because the giving of
the parade has delayed the opening for
an hour or more, is positively cruel;
but there is frequently no help for it
when parades are given. By eliminat-
ing the parade the public is also saved
a long and often uncomfortable wait
on the streets pending the always more
or less delayed procession, which at
best has nothing new to offer, to say
nothing of the interference with public
traffic and the business of the city's
merchants. Many municipal govern
ments have recognized the latter fact by
either refusing to give licenses for
parades, or by making the tax so high
as to be prohibitive. Street parades
were all right when circuses were
small, and were necessary from an
advertising standpoint. The Barnum &
Bailey show is too well-known to need
advertising of this character, and in
stead of wasting time and energy on a
conventional street display every
effort is concentrated upon the per-
formance,"

1t is not improbable that the Raw

sion is receiving letters urging execu-
tive clemency in behalf of Milton and
Jesse Rawlings who, together with
their father, J. G. Rawlings, are SEN
fenced to be hanged at Valdosta for the
murder of the Carter children. These
letters generally ask that the sentences
imposed upon the boys be committed
from the death penalty to life impris-
onment. This done, it might be an easy
matter afterwards to save old man
Rawlings on an insanity plea and thus
all get off with Imprisonment as pun
ishment for their crime.

ELECTRIC LINE SEEMS ASSURED
Railway From Macon to Albany May
Be Built.

The proposition to build an electric
railway from Macon to Albany by way
of Americas is taking definite shape.
AT meeting held in Macon day or
two ago organization was effected and
plans for building the railway discussed
at great length. The Albany Herald
states that business men in that section
identified with the enterprise no longer
doubt that the project will, in the near
future, be carried through successfully.
A charter for the corporation will be
asked for Immediately, and ample
capital to finance the big undertaking
is already pledged. The plan of the
projectors of the road is to have many
stopping places on the route. The trains
will be capable of higher speed than is
maintained on steam railways, and the
travel will prove tempting to those who
like to avoid smoke, cinders and ex-
cessive dust.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as thew cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed YOU have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness IS the result,
and unless the infan mstiol can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Cstarrb, which is moth
ing but an inf amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
