IHE AMEKICU3 DAILY UmLS-KECORDEK LUMPKIIMM WITH FAIMND A PRIZE I in a letter received by Chairman, George It. Ellis of the Third Agricul-j tvral District Fair Committee, and (which has been handed to Secretary' Hyman for his attention, the informa tion comes front W. P. Carter, Jr., of' Lumpkin. Ga., that he desires to don-! ate to the fair premium list a $lO sii-1 ver loving cup to be awarded as a special premium on black orpington | chickens. Mr. Carter is a great breed-| cr of black orpingtons and white ) cochin bantams. He has several birds : in his yard that took prizes at all the ) big poultry shows- and fairs last' year. Mr. Carter says that he is especially interested in the show to be held at the Third Agricultural District Fair next fall, and that he can be counted 1 ,u’>on to bring as fine a collection of fowls as lias ever been seen in the ►South. I The poultry end of the fair will be a ! very attractive proposition, as the ’ people living in the nineteen counties that comprise this agricultural dis trict have no conception of how many; chicken fanciers there are, who are ' breeding prize winning birds for exhi- ■ bition purposes. It has been estimat- j ed that at elast 2,000 fine fowls will be o i exhibition and this fact alone will make a big success of the fair. Secretary Hyman will acknowledge this splendid gift and will ask Mr. Carter to ehad a committee, whose duty it will be to especially see that the big poultry building is full of the best in the land.

Walter L. Lowrie, pastor of St. Paul’s American church, who has been spec ially delegated by the Young Men’s Christian Association to look after prison camps in Italy. After returning from a trip recently among the prisoners, Dr. Lowrie said to a correspondent of the Asso ciated Press: “These prisoners are lodged in some of the most magnificent castles and palaces of Italy, the homes of former kings and princes. They are brow-beated, and they not only are not made to work, but they are not permit ted to work. So they are really lead ing the happy life, if anybody can be said to be happj- at this time, away fiom home and country and family and icved ones. They have but two com plaints to make; one is that Europe is at war. ‘I am ashamed of everybody in Europe,’ said one prisoner to me, and 1 e voiced the sentiments of all. O’ ccurse, this feeling has a certain men tal depression as an accompaniment. Their second complaint, is that they are not allowed to work and earn a few cents a day, as prisoners are permitted to do in France, Germany and else where. That they are not at work is due to the objecticons made by labor leaders of Italy who felt that all war work should go to Italians in need of work to keep themselves and their families going. “But these prisoners are improving their time for all that. Nearly all of them are learning English. I have had difficulty in getting enough English books for them. “Among the places where the pris oners are kept is the castle at Aquila built by Frederick IL, and about which Emperor William of Germany once wrote a monograph. Another place is at Bain, near Naples, where some thousand prisoners are housed in the beautiful old structure of the dukes jof Anjou. I think its terraces looking over the bay give one of the finest views of all Italy. Two thousand prisoners are sheltered also in the Sis tenian monastery’ at Padulla, which is perhaps more comfortable than a pal ace. There was some talk of also us ing the Bourbon royal palace at Ca setta, the Versailles of Italy, which would hold no less than fifty thousand prisoners and make them comfortable at that.” TELEPHONE THROUGH TO HAVANA, CUBA Ga.< March IL—Geor gians may soon be saying “hello” to Havana, Southern Bell officials an nounce that after the completion of the long line to Key West, Florida, the next step in long distance telephone development will be a submarine cable connecting the system with Havana, Cuba, and other Cuban points. This announcement is of particular interest, of course, in Florida, Geor gia and South Carolina. Havana and Key West, while both comparatively I close, have seemed isolate and far: away on account of the lack of tele phone connection with the rest of the v. orld. In a few months they will be within reach of everybody’s voice ev erywhere, and although the actual distancce will be the same, they will seem more like neighbors. Meanwhile the work of constructing a standard line bearing two copper circuits between Jacksonville and Key, V, est has actually been begun. Woman Curates Are Suggested Because War LONDON, March 11. —Women cur ates are being suggested because so many clergymen have gone to the trenches and because theological stud ■ ents who have not already enlisted will be absorbed under the Compuls ion Act unless they are physically un fit. For ten years before the war there was a steady decrease in the applica tions for ordination, owing,, in some measure, to the modern recognition of the. that a young of what is known ac “good family” may engage in com merce without any social disadvant ages.

SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 19HX I th? professions” and the candidates ; for the Church! have gradually been narrowing down to those who feel an earnest call to preach or to undertake ' the more exacting forms of Christian work. The war apparently has but j hastened the process. Almost All Town At War LONDON, March 11. —Trunch, a mall, remote agricultural village not i far from North Walsham, Norfolk, has , sent all of its men —65 out of a popula tion of 300 to the front, which is said tn be a higher percentage than any other town in Great Britain can boast. ‘‘Every Trunchor has gone to the Trench' ’is the way the neighboring villagers express it.
