ENTRIES SWELL
Finest Exhibition of Standard
Breeds of Fowls Will Be
Displayed at Show.
C o. Harwell, secretary of the Geor-
Poultry association, and his band of
assistants are working two shifts and
all sui ts of overtime now in getting the
juries listed for the ninth annual Great
Central Poultry Show of the South,
w hi< h will start next Monday at the
Viriitoriunt-Aimory
It is probable that Mr. Harwell and;
his assistants know more about the'
technical end of giving poultry shows
•han any other men in the South. They
|, avP h«en at it steadily for almost nine
years They have given eight success-;
ful shows.
Th ■■ fact is of interest to breedei s,
Hxhibii rs and the poultry breedingand
poult v loving public. It means that
the coining show will be put on expert
■v and well; that the detail work will be
handled intelligently and efficiently,
that the birds entered will be well
handled; that the show will be ready to
open on time, with ail the birds cooped
and ready; that the judges will be pro
viced with efficient assistants, and that
n-hen H is all over all birds entered will!
he returned’in good'order to those who |
entered them.
Only Best Birds Shown.
There will be no buncombe, no circus
side lines, no illustrated lectures, no
hocus-pocus, no packing of coops with
barnyard fowls for the purpose of mak
ing a showing. It will be merely an
exii bit of the best birds that can be bred ,
tn America. It will represent not only t
the i>w«t ptoducts of the .yards of the I
South's best breeders, but the best of
those of other sections as well.
Different poultry shows are given for
different reasons. The Georgia Poultry
Association's show is given by public
spirited citizens of Georgia, who are
willing to give their time and their
money for the good of the breed in the
South. Nobody makes anything out of i
ii. For years and years the show was a |
dead loss. And in those lean years the
men of the Geoigia Poultry association
dug into their pockets without grum
bling and paid their losses. Now the
Georgia Poultry association owns its
own coops, it owes no man a cent, it
has underwritten the coming show, and
every debt contracted will be paid right
off the reel, as every debt contracted by
the association in the past has been
paid when due.
A glance over the list of entries is
impressive. It isn’t the largest number
of entries ever gathered for a. Southern
show. That honor goes each year to
Augusta. It does not number any vast
lot of freak breeds. But it does number
birds from the farms of the country’s
best breeders of the real standard va
rieties, the varieties that people ac
tually keep.
Some Fancy Breeds Entered.
There Is always a mild curiosity in
the latest thing in Wallikikis, Coucou I
ir Malines, Guelders, Cuckoo Cochin |
Bantams and LaFleches; but what
piospective buyers want to see is the I
best that is to be had in Plymouth •
Rocks. Reds, Leghorns, Orpingtons,
W.vandpttes and the like.
That is what the coming show will I
offer. The country has been fine- j

Dr. Smith Shows the Danger
Lurking in Back Yards.
Scores View Exhibit.
Hundreds of city hull visitors stopped I
at the east entr.i i< today to view Dr. |
Claude Smith’s mosquito farm. The:
city bacteriologist is hatching out '
healthy specimens of the insect pest as;
the rate of several hundred a day. just |
to show Atlantans how easy it would I
be to get rid of them if everybody j
would wor|t together.
The exhibit is simply an old tin can )
half full of rainwater, just like th'sej
in your own back yard. Over th. '* j

toes from flying away when they hatch |
out. As the average female lays about I
1-io eggs nt oree. and the old can -eem

ony. Dr. Smith's exhibit does not lark
animation. There are mosquitoes to
burn.
“Swatting” Campaign Works.
Atlanta has swatted the skoeter so
effectually and efficaciously this rea
son that lotions have been a drug on
the market, and mosquito bars nave
been converted into shirtwaists sot the
Peachtree parade. But it was not al
way thus. Time was when porch par
ties were held in the basements, and J
even the policemen complained they '
could not sleep on their beats. They
have laged clear into November in past
years.
Dr. Smith is the man who put the
skeet in mosquitoes. He began it in •
the summer of 1905, when New Orleans!
caught the yellow fever. Memphis quai - .
antined, farmers along Southern rail- j
roads patrolled the tracks with -shot- I
guns to keep refugees from leaving I
trains, and Atlanta, after considerable I
discussion. threw open her gates and |
welcomed everybody who had the price,
of a ticket and a board bill. "Jim” ■
Woodward was mayor then, by the way. i
and he was one of the first to declare
Atlanta an immune city.
Not that Atlanta ever had the well
known stegomyia, the mosquito which
extracts a yellow fever germ from one
sufferer, flies next door and inserts it
carefully in another slumberer. Neither
does Atlanta harbor the noted ano
pheles, whose specialty is malaria
transportation.
The culex was Atlanta's pest, and
though he bears no fatal disease, he
Is hungrier than a pom- nun's dog and
amuses himself by eating large chunks
out of a sleeper’s cheek and leaving a
burning welt to pay for his meal. The
culex is the sweet singer of insectdom.
the second story worker, the house
bieakcr. He is the boy who hums op
eratic arias in a minor key half the
night, sidesteps all the swats aimed a'
him and then settles softly down and
rams his stinger under your epidermis
about a foot.
In the old days, when the mosquito
flourished and the prohibition law was
not, the favorite method of combatting
him was to imbibe several large, un
watered drinks early in the evening.
Tile Imbiber was 100 intoxicated to feel
pain up to midnight, and al’tei that the
mosquitoes too drunk to bite. Even now
there are those who still sigh for the old
days.
Oil Stops Ravages.
Hut Dr. Smith had an idea that mos
quitoes could be chased out of the com
munity. and persuaded council to give
him $4.1'00 fm the first year’s work.
The money was spent in putting kero
sene and 'crude petroleum, mixed, on
the surface of stagnant pools. Inspec
tors looked up such places and then the
idlers oiled them. Things ran smooth
ly after that. Each year there has
been a mosquito apropriatlon, and
though ft ran only to s2,fiuo this season,
effectual work has been done
"The old Idea that mosquitoes breed,,
in vines and weeds is wrong," said Dr.
Smith today. "They breed only in wa
ter. A tin can or an old beer bottle
full of water will hatch out thousands
of them. And they are hatched full
grown and ready to bite. too. There's
no such thing as a little, young mos
quito.’
"If we had a rain every two weeks,
there wouldn't be any mosquitoes It
takes that long for the eggs to hatch,
and every fresh rain washes the eggs
array, It is a dry season which brings
mosquitoes. Out rainy summer has
helped in that particular."

Demon Decatur Street Rock Thrower Enlists
TIGE TO TAME MEXICO
"Uncle Sam doesn’t need any troops
on the Mexican border." said Claude
Xshley today. "I see they've enlisted
Tige in the Tenth cavalry. If they’ll
put him on the border with a wagon
load of rocks, he'll drive every greaser
in Mexico into the gulf in thirty days.";
"Who's Tige?" asked one of the
bunch at the city hall entrance. Mr.
Ashley, councilman-elect from the
Fourth ward, turned a look of disdain
on the questioner.
“Tige is the terror of Darktown." lie
explained "He figures in the police
records as Will Mason, which may be
his real name, but all Darktown knows
him as Tige. And he is the champion
rock thrower of the world. I'd match
him against David and his sling, aim
put up a side bet that he'd put out Go
liath in one throw at fifty yards. I’ve
seen him gather up a handful of bricks
and send four negroes to the hospital in
eleven seconds. I heard today he had
joined the army and gone to the negro
regiment, the Tenth. I'm sorry for the
test of the troops if Tige ever gets
started.”
Real Darktown Authority.
Mr. Ashley, who directs operations at
the brewery, is Atlanta's leading au
thority on its colored citizenry and chief
chronicler of Darktown, her people and
her events. To hear him sing the songs
of Darktown is a liberal education in
darky dialect. He knows Decatur street
and its denizens as Alfred Henry Dewis
knows the East Side and its gangsters.
He relates the legends of Crappy Chute
and Dundys Dane with the local color
of an O. Henry.
"Did you ever hear of Son Jones?”
Im asked the ignorant questioner, to
whom Darktown was an unknown land.
"Son Jones Is the official Happy Hooli
gan of out colored set. He has had
more bard luck in a minute than hap
pened to Happy in a year.
“Son heard a knock on his door one
night, and hastened to greet the visi
tor As he opened the door he was sa
luted with a double-barreled load of
birdshot, which nearly sent him to his
grave When he got out of the hospital
and investigated, he found it was sim
ply a mistake. The man with the shot
gun was looking for another negro, and
had happened to knock on the wrong
door. Os course. Son couldn't harbor
any resentment over an error like that.
“When Son Jones was well enough to
hobble about a bit, he strolled into the
Boulevard. Some white boys were gath-
■ ered under a tree, and Son stopped to
investigate.
" 'We've kicked our football up that
tree and can't get it down.’ said the
boys. 'We'll give you a quarter to get
it.'
Son Hits the Hornets.
"Son climbed the tree, crept out on
the branch ami hit a mighty lick at
what he thought was the football. It
was a hornet's nest, with a dense pop
ulation which resented interference.
When Son showed up next day, both his
eyes were closed and his head was as
big as a beer keg.
" 'Honest, boss. I runs a mile and a
half to my house, and two of dem hot"
nets was still slickin' to de race.’ he ex
plained. ‘But I slio did outrun de mos'
of 'em.' ”
M \shley paused to light a fresh
(*igar.
"After that Son kept out of trouble
foi a week." he resumed. "But the
next pay day he made a break for De
catur street for a drink. Just as he
turned the corner, a gun went off and >•
bullet, intended for a negro mixed up in
a street fight, passed clear through its
tangent and struck Son in the leg. Both
victims went down together, the fight
ing man dying and Son telling that he
was killed. Around the cornel came
the ambulance and both of the wounded
were piled into it. Th< interne, in his
white uniform, swung onto the rear
step, and away it went.
"Five minutes afterward 1 heard a
yell, and here came Son. his eyes start
ing out of his head and his complexion
gray with terror. Wo had to grab him
and sit on him to keep him quiet.
"T thought you were dead.' said I
‘Didn't you start to the hospital'.’*
" I sho did,' explained Son. ‘But that
dead nigger in de amherlaneh he turns
over and rolls his eyes at me, I gits up
and comes right out. 1 has to knock de
amberlanch doctor clean off n dat step
■ inter do mud, but I ain't lettin’ dat
worry me. No sir.’
"We found tin bullet inside Son's
sock. It had raised a knot the size of
an'egg on his shin, but he wasn't se
! rjotisly hurt.
“But if you want to know something
about Darktown, come around some da v
and I'll tell you about Black Diamond,
champion chi'ken thief." -ahi Mr Ash
-1 lev But it vould take half,a day. and
I 1 haven't the lime now."

YULE CELEBRATION
Peace on earth, good will toward

Christmas,if a crusade inaugurated by
Mrs. Sheppard \V. Foster, state regent
of the Georgia Daughters of the Amer

has appealed to regents over the state
to use their every power to crush the
custom of celebrating the day with
horns, fireworks and the extensive use
of demon rum.
In a stirring letter mailed from At

Washington celebrated Christmas
either by crossing the Delaware and
capturing Jlessians or by attending
church twice during the day.
The Daughters of the North have
worked successfully for a sane Fourth
of July, and she believes that the
Daughters of Georgia are capable of
bringing the Christmas observance to a
point more in keeping with the mean
ing of the occasion.
