This is the way jF tells the story. It is given pie ■Times-Recorder readers just as it I, told a reporter, with embellish- E e nt or comment. Listen while "George tells the “facts” about tnis remarkable fowl: -The Times-Recorder printed the picture of a fowl a day or two ago w ith the statement that the chick en was born a pullet, bur now is a rooster. Well, I was surprised, I had thought up to that time that Sumter was the only county on earth capable of producing such a remarkable fowl. “Yol don’t believe such a fowl has been raised right here in Am ericus? Well, any time you want to see this bird just run out to the home of Mrs. Frank L. Cato, on South Lee street. Mrs. Cato keeps only a few fowls, and she watches her birds carefully. In my opinion it would be almost impossible for her to make a mistake in identifica tion of a particular bird. Your pullet-rooster is right there on her yard, crowing every morning, wear ing the gaudy plumage of a Rhode Island Red rooster and decorously dividing worms with the hens of the flock. “But this hasn’t always been the case. A few months this same ‘rooster’ was a prize pullet,, laying her ‘egg-a-day’ in the usual way But don’t interrupt me yet. A lit tle later, after the manner of the female of the species, this same pul let seated herself comfortably above a nest well filled with eggs deposi ted there by her own proud sel c . Just twenty-one days later, this young pullet became a satisfied mother and set energetically about raising her young brood to happy maturity in fowldom. “In due course, these biddies be came themselves young pullets, with a rooster or two among their num ber, and this may have caused the change in the mother. . With the development of gaudy plumage b lone of her young, apparently the mother fowl decided to cast off all pretense of femininity and forth with set about becoming a rooster. With the development of handsome tail-feathers the first change was noticed in the bird; spurs were i „ 5 Statement by Stephen Pace « I have heard it stated on the streets this morning that I, by unfair means, read Mr. Felton’s reply to the ladies’ questionnaire BEFORE prepar ing my answers, and for the purpose of seeing his answers so as to preare my own. I wish to say that my answers had been written, signed, filed with the Times-Recorder, read by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clay, and that each page of it had been marked with Mrs. Clay’s signature, as had also Mr. Felton’s before I demanded of Mr. Moran that I see Mr. Felton’s. I demanded of Mr. Moran the right to see the answers in order to be sure that there could be no changes. I did what I thought I had a right to do for the p rotection of my interests, what I believed any reasonable man would do under the circumstances, and what I would probably do again under the same conditions. I did not see kor desire to change one word of my reply. It expressed my feeling then, now and forever more. * '> ■ A My answers, as published, were read to Judge J.A. Hixon, Mr. G. C. Webb, Mr. W. M. Humbe r, Mr. L. L. Wiggins (of DeSoto) and Mr. E. A. Luke (of DeSoto), during Friday and several hours before either my letter of Mr. Felton’s letter had been filed with the Times-Recorder. > The election is at hand, thank goodness, and I trust this is the last report of its kind.

The unnatural change came about in a very nat ural way, if there could be any thing natural about such a freak of nature, and I have been thinking I would tell folks here all about for several days. The story in The Times-Recorder, and the picture carried therein refreshed my mem ory, and I’m telling the full facts today for the first time. I refuse to admit any county in the universe is better than Sumter, and I as sert we can not only raise as many and as good chickens here as can be done anywhere, but I also say that we can raise anv kind of chick en anybody else anywhere else can produce.” So that’s the story. George says it’s so, and The Times-Recorder isn’t saying it is or it isn’t. STAGE HERE DEFENDS SELF AGAINST FIVE BERLIN, Sept. 9.—Leo Peu kert, an actor, who plays the hero in a Berling melodrama and saves the lives of women and children in every act brought his stage training into practical use one night recently. On his way home after the performance he was at tacked by five hold-up men. Peukert. accustomed to fighting mobs and entire armies every night, on the stage, knocked out two men, broke his wrist on another, and caught one hold-up man and led him off to the police station. BEYREUTH FESTIVAL NEEDS NEW SETTINGS BEYREUTH, Sept. 9.—There is much speculation as to whether the Wagner Festival, revived this year, will be continued beyond the death of Frau Cosima Wagner, widow of the noted composer. The World War and the ten years of darkness it brought to the Wagner Festival theatre have brough changes in the artistic as well as the economic and social world. Performances of the Wagner operas, which were acceptable on the oldfashioned stage of the Bey reuth opera house ten years ago, very clearly do not satisfy today. There is a demand now for new scenery, new stage machinery, new methods of production. Admitting the excellence of the orchestra and the adequate sing ing of the chorus and the principals in most of the offerings this year at Beyreuth, (many, critics, -and chiefly German critics at that, ex press the opinion that the opera houses in Berlin, Dresden and Munich, with their adequate mod ern stages, offer better productions of the Wagnerian operas than Bey reuth affords.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Y LA FOLLETTE CALLED CHAMPION OF WOMEN (Continued From Page One) the finer influence of woman. And so in our national household. The age-old policy of man to exclude woman from the government has re sulted in misery, poverty and war everywhere, while in our own coun try it has landed the ship of state —our national home —on the rocks of corruption, exploitation, and ceaseless strife. “Powerful Minority Rule*” Today we are in the hands of a powerful minority of ruthless ex ploiters that has annexed all branch es of our government for its own private purposes. A small but ever-growing group of men have recognized the need of a thorough house-cleaning in our National Home. Will women stand idly by and permit or even help the few enlightened men wrest the gov ernment from the few and restore it to the many? Senator La Follette is the only presidential candidate that offers us any hope of progress.

La Follette has ever and consist ently stood to protect and maintain the principles of real democracy. He has more laws to his credit, iundamental laws in successful op eration, than any living statesman. In face of the powerful steam roller of his own party he succeed ed in blocking much vicious legisla tion and forcing the acceptance and turning into law 27 of the 31 great measures he had presented as mi nority platforms to Republican na tional conventions. La Follette Woman’* Champion His voting record on all meas ures of particular interest to wom en should rally all thinking women to his support.

Senator La Follette has worked untiringly for woman's suf frage and publicly advocated it long before either of the two old parties had indorsed it. During his 19 years in the sen ate we find him consistently on the side of every great welfare meas ure and against every encroachment upon the rights of the American people. La Follette has, since the early days of his career, sensed the drift toward monoply and special privilege and has consistently and with all the energy at his disposal fought against it.
