I Believe it or not. George 0

"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

female of the species, this same pul

a nest well filled with eggs deposi

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

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 the development of handsome
tail-feathers the first change was

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.

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. >

Mr. Pace read his answers to us on Friday before noon, more than 24 hours before they were published, and several hours before Mr. Felton’s

low legs’ had once threatened
to grace the frying pan, and within
a short while the fowl began crow
ing about the lot. 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.

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. Candidates
