GEORGIAPQULTRY 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 combed for entries fiom the really' high-class breeders and the result will j In a showing which, for real quality,; las never before been equalled in i Dixie. Very shortly the association i 'ill announce some of the famous' coder.- who will show in Atlanta and I cic list will be one that will create al •ensation. For never before have so! many high-class fauns been represent-1 rd in a Dixie show. li.dicatlens now aie that there will be i several shows in the South this year I 'h it will top the coming one in number ■ f entries, but that there will not be "Pe this year and that there has never been one which has equalled this one in class.

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." THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1912.

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."

REGENTS TO WORK FOR ORDERLY YULE CELEBRATION Peace on earth, good will toward men will be the spirit of the coming Christmas,if a crusade inaugurated by Mrs. Sheppard \V. Foster, state regent of the Georgia Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution, succeeds. Mrs. Foster 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 lanta today, she points out that George 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.
