mOTISG BIG
ATTENDANCE
Exceptional Quality of Fowls
on Exhibition Is Creating
Wide Interest.
Crowds continue at the Georgia Poul
try Association’s show at the Audi
torium-Armory—and they are steadily
growing bigger. The 10 cent admis
sion price, the Briarcliff farm show
ing of imported exhibition stock, the
Owen farm wonders, the unquestioned
class of the exhibits, the fine weather
and the steadily increasing interest in
poultry have combined to assure the
success of the show.
Praise of the show is being heard on
every side. L. L. Jones, head of the
poultry department at the University
of Georgia, after an exhaustive study
of the specimens shown, expressed his
amazement at the excellence of the
birds exhibited. He voiced the senti
ment so often heard—that in class the
show is strictly “Madison Square.”
Another testimonial came from Sec
retary C. O. Harwell himself. “I be
lieve,” said Mr. Harwell, “that In ad
dition to showing the finest stuff in
many classes ever shown in the South,
we unquestionably have more varieties
ever before’seen at a Southern show.
Compare the number of varieties shown
here with the number listed in the
Standard of Perfection and you will
note that there are few missing."
It happens, however, that there are
many birds being shown that are not in
the standard, some that have been new
ly placed there, and a few that are
virtuallly "obsolete.” Among them are
Rhode Island Whites, Blue Orpingtons,
I-'avorelles, Campines. Diamond Jubilee
Orpingtons, Partridge Plymouth Rocks,
White Runner ducks and the like.
One of the real sensations of the
show are the Blue Orpingtons shown by
Asa G. Candler. Jr. One of the star
birds of the collection was taken sick
yesterday and was removed from the
show, but three remain. The cock bird
is an especially fine specimen, as big
as a Black .Orpington, but of a hand
some bluish color. All but one of Mr.
.Candler's Blue Orpingtons were bought
in England, as were his Diamond Ju
bilee Orpingtons and many of his
other birds. -
Many Incubators Shown.
One of the most interesting features
of the present show has proved to be
the exhibition of incubators, brooders
and poultry appliances in general. The
chief exhibitors were H. G. Hastings &
Cd.. Marbut & Minor, the Southern
States Incubator and Brooder Co., the
Hightower Box and Tank Company,
and W. J. Speers, Southern agent for
incubators, brooders and poultry appli
ances.
The Southern States Company, which
conducts a factory and a 5,000-egg
hatchery at College Park, makes all its
own appliances. Its 1913 model incu
bator, now on the market, contains a
number of improvements. For one thing
the fuel tank has been placed at one
end of the machine and the lamp at the
other. This brings the equipment with
in the approval of the underwriters as
sociation. A new system of ventilation
and moisture production has been pro
vided for. By a simple scheme pure air
is allowed to enter the machine and
circulate at all times. These machines
are made to burn oil, alcohol or gas.
An especial advantage is that, with the
aid of a “flash lamp” the eggs can be
tested without removing them from the
trays.
Marbut & Minor show, as usual, a
complete line of Buckeye incubators
and brooders, as well as the Denninr
whitewash pump and the Ideal auto
matic feeder.
New Features For 1913.
The Buckeye incubators have sev
eral improvements for their 1913 trade.
For one thing, the heating system—that
is, the boiler, the tank and the tubes —
is now being made of pure copper. As
it does not rust or corrode, it should
last indefinitely. A new scheme for
turning the eggs, for which an addi
tional tray is provided, is a 1913 inno
vation. It makes possible the turning
of all the eggs in less than a minute.
The front is now provided with a dou
ble door in which Is a window. This
window can be covered with another
smaller door after hatching begins, so
that the newly hatched birds will not
crowd to the front. The top is this
year provided with a ventilator to let
out the foul air, and the lamp is bet
ter made than ever before. The Buck
eye brooders are virtually unchanged
for the 1913 season.
W. J. Speers, of Atlanta, is again
showing the Cycle Hatcher Company's
machines, which means the Philo sys
tem line. Neither the Cycle hatcher
nor the Cycle brooder, which have
proved so satisfactory, have been
changed much for the 1913 season.
New Hover Is Shown.
A novelty shown in the Speer ex
hibit is the Oakes round hover, made
In Tipton, Ind. This machine has
many novel and attractive features—
an easily removable top, which makes
cleaning easy: an easy method of re
moving the hover-from the lamp box,
which also makes for easy cleaning; a
weather proof lamp box, a system that
insures uniform heat through the
brooding chamber; and a hydro-safety
burner, which does not impair insur
ance risks.
Still another novelty at the show is
the Sim Plest trap nest, made in At
lanta. This seems an excellent trap
and sitting nest, and as the prise is
reasonable it should have a big sale.
The Hightower Box and Tank Com
pany made a showing of Its excellent
shipping coops, as well as some neat
I'-eding troughs and the like.

canine will enjoy a social popularity
that will rival his political prominence
before the deadlock was broken at Bal
timore. For the Brookhaven Country
club, exclusive, with a double “x,” At
lanta social organization, has gone in
for possum hunting, and as long as the
pursuit of the possum is a popular pas
time the “houn’ dawg” will reign su
preme.
Within three miles of the home of the
Brookhaven club Tuesday night, thrt ?.
large, juicy, fat possums were treed
after a pack of five dogs, which had
been gathered together by members of
the club, had worked for an hour aftd a
half, while the aforementioned mem
bers yelled their encouragement, fol
lowed the chase, and wielded the axes
that brought the game to earth after
the canines had performed their func
tion.
New Pastime For Club.
On account of this splendid luck on
the first effort and reports from the
colored caddies and servitors that “the
woods is full of ’em,” the following of
the yelping dogs is expected to prove
one of winter’s foremost pastimes at the
club.
The original hunt was planned by
several of the younger members, in
cluding James O. Harris, Charlie Cox.
Jury Osborne, Stewart Witham, Eu
gene Kelly, Charles Sciple and Phil
D’Engle. They had reasoned —and rea
soned well—that where there were so
many persimmons there were sure to
be possums, and they invited a num
ber of girl friends to join the chase.
The young women were Misses Har
riet Calhoun. Mary Helen Moody, Mar
jorie Brown. Helen Dargan, Sarah Raw
son and Laura Ansley.
They came to the club as eager for
the hunt as the dogs, who with mouth
agape restlessly leaped on the negro
expert, who, with cowhorn and ax,
stood ready to give the yelp that starts
the pack.
Chaperone Doesn't Arrive,
But there was no chaperone, and the
guests were compelled to remain in the
club house while the young men, with
heavy hearts, followed as the negro
sent the dogs away barking a joyous
challenge to the wily mammal.
Before the dogs had fairly crossed the
golf course they had struck a scent,
and within a half mile they had treed
a fat fugitive. After another mile an
other was biought down. Returning
toward the club house, a third was
added to the traditional feed sack car
ried by the aforementioned expert.
On their return there was naturally a
possum supper served. The young wom
en, who hadn’t enjoyed the chase, en
joyed the supper so well that the ’’houn'
dawg” immediately became as firmly
founded an institution at the club as tbs

HOPKIKS 8«L
TO CLOSE COURTS
The doors of Atlanta court rooms
are closed today while members of the
bench and bar are paying a last trib
ute of respect to the memory of Judge
John L. Hopkins, nestor of the Georgia
bar, who yesterday died at his home in
Spruce street, Inman Bark. The funer
al services will be held at the residence
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, with inter
ment in Oakland cemetery, and the
pallbearers and escort of honor will in
clude many of the most prominent le
gal lights in the state.
Not since the death, several years
ago, of Judge Logan E. Bleckley has
there been such universal regret in the
passing of a lawyer and jurist of the
old school. The older lawyers had
known Judge Hopkins well; the young
er knew him only by reputation as jur
ist and author, but all expressed regret
at the passing of a man who had been
an exemplary citizen, a distinguished
judge and a writer whose books on
special branches of the law are author
ity in the courts of the state he loved.
Judge Hopkins was the first presi
dent of tlie Atlanta Bar association,
and that body of lawyers met yester
day and adopted resolutions of regret.
The following members were appointed
an escort of honor by J. D. Kilpatrick,
president of the association:
W. T. Newman, J. H. Lumpkin, B. H.
Hill, J. T. Pendleton, George L. Bell,
\V. D. Ellis, L. S. Roan, H. M. Reid, A.

“Every member of the Atlanta Bar
association is appointed a member of
the committee from the Bar associa
tion t" attend tlie funeral of the Hon.
John L. Hopkins,” said Mr. Kilpatrick.
"He was the first president of this as
sociation and deservedly commanded
the respect of every member of this
bar."
The funeral of Judge Hopkins will be
marked by a cortege the like of which
has been given to but few of Atlanta’s
citizens. Practically every member of
the bench and bar, the justices of the
supreme and appellate courts, the judge
and staff of the United States court,
the attaches of the local courts and
hundreds of tther citizens in other
walks of life will Join in the procession
to Oakland cemetery, the ancient burial
ground where so many of Judge Hop
kins' contemporaries rest.
SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
* - - -
By JAMES B . NEVIN.
Governor Joseph M. Brown believes
that it is very much the duty of every
registered Democrat in Georgia to go
L /jjai
ft
b. arvnr
to the polls on
Tuesday next and
cast his ballot for
Wilson and Mar
shall electors.
The governor is
not uneasy that
the state may fail
to give its elec
toral vote to the
Democratic nomi
nees. but he be
lieves it is pecu
liarly Georgia’s
duty to make the
victory- for Wilson
and Marshall in- ,
side the state as
emphatic and pos
itive as possible.
The Democratic
candidate for the presidency has a
la:ge and special claim upon Georgia's
generosity in the present contest.
Governor Brown, as he explained in a
formal communication to the press,
given out several days ago, thinks it
very much in order for all citizens who
supported Underwood in the primary
campaign to rally now to Wilson and
Marshall. The primary fight was, in
the executive mind, a lively little family
row—nothing more. Now that Wilson
has been made the head of the family,
the governor thinks the members
thereof should back him to an everlast
ing finish.
If Georgia casts anything like her
possible Democratic vote, the victory
for Wilson and Marshall will be con
clusive.
It will not do, however —and the gov
ernor emphasizes this —to overlook the
fact that the Republicans, both of the
Taft and the Roosevelt persuasion, are
going to vote —they will go to the polls.
Between them they will make a brave
showing. Indeed, it is not too much to
'say, perhaps, that the Republican vote
this year will be the heaviest cast in
Georgia since Reconstruction.
Governor Brown thinks Georgia
should take no chance whatever on the
Democratic majority next Tuesday fall
ing in any way proportionately below
what it should be—and may so easily
be.
It is merely a question of the Demo
cratic vote turning out and putting its
ballot in the box.
And it is the patriotic duty of every
Democrat to cast his ballot for Wilson
anil Marshall that Governor Brown at
this time particularly emphasizes.
The general impression seems to be
that the larger Wilson and Marshall
vote is to come from south Georgia, and
the larger Roosevelt vote is to come
from north Georgia. The Taft vote will
loom not particularly large in any one
section as compared with another.
Middle Georgia is trie fighting ground
—the missionary territory of all shades
of political opinion.
A surprisingly heavy Roosevelt vote
in that section undoubtedly would cut
a significant figure in the completed
retui ns.
The preponderance of opinion is fa
vorable to a full Wilson and Marshall
vote in middle Georgia, however —and
STOMACHMISERY
JUSTVANISHES
No Indigestion, Gas or Sour
ness after taking “Pape’s
Diapepsin.”
If what you Just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food,
or ha?e a feeling of dizziness, heart
burn. fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache —this is
indigestion.
A full ease of Pape’s Diapepsin costs
only fifty cents and will thoroughly
cure your out-of-order stomach, and
leave sufficient about the house in case
some one else in the family may suf
fer from stomach trouble or Indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formuia plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases, then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of ail kinds
must go, and why they usually re
lieve sour, out-of-order stomachs or
indigestion in five minutes. Diapepsin
is harmless and tastes like candy,
though each dose contains power suffi
cient to digest and prepard* for assim
ilation into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with a healthy appetite; but
what will please you most Is that you
will feel that your stomach and in
testines are clean and fresh, and you
will not need to resort to laxatives or
liver pills for biliousness or constipa
tion.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks, as some people will call them,
but you will be cranky about this
splendid stomach preparation, too. if
you ever try a little for indigestion or
gastritis or any other stomach misery.
Get some now, this minute, and for
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble
and indigestion. (Advt.)

it is there that the state will be carried
safely for the Democrats.
When all Is said and done, it gets
back to the point the governor raises—
the Democratic vote must turn out in
force on election day. It must turn out
not only to make Wilson and Marshall’s
triumph sure, but overwhelming.
In between national and state elec
tions, the people of south Georgia find
time to sandwich much politics of more
Immediate interest.
Boston, for instance—sure, there is a
Boston, Georgia!—has just pulled off a
cow election.
Boston has taken her place by the
side of Quitman —rampantly in favor of
the cow. By a vote of 4 to 1, cows
hereafter may roam the streets of Bos
ton at their own sweet pleasure, chew
ing and browsing wherever the spirit
directs and the chewing and browsing
may be found.
Next to a prohibition election, there
is nothing that stirs up a bigger row in
south Georgia than for somebody to
undertake the Infringement of bovine
rights.
In south Georgia the cow is queen of
all she surveys, and her rights there
are none to dispute— successfully, any
way.
Judge Joel Branham, of Rome, nestor
of the north Georgia bar, and one of
Georgia’s grand old men, is in Atlanta
today.
It has been a good many years since
the judge sat upon the superior court
bench, but in all those years he has
changed very little. His disposition
and nature is as kindly and as opti
mistic today as it was in the long ago,
when he was in all the vigor and enthu
siasm of robust manhood.
Although getting well along toward
80. Judge Branham still is actively en
gaged in the practice of his profession.
He has just returned from a two
weeks’ stay in Washington, and he
says all the politicians are guessing
Wilson to win, by a wide margin.
In the last presidential election,
when Mr. Bryan was pitted against
Mr. Taft, the vote in Georgiazdivided
as follows: Democrats, 72,413; Repub
licans. 41,692; Populists, 16,969, and
Prohibitionists, 1,059.
In making figures on this year's elec
tion. therefore, Mr. Thomas E. Watson’s
vote of 16,969, accorded him last time,
will have to be taken Into account.
From all over Georgia come reports
that the Watson vote is following Mr.
Watson's lead again this year, and will
go to Roosevelt.
If even so many as ten or twelve
thousand of them go that way, it may
affect the result profoundly—particu
larly if the Democrats do no better this
time than 72,413.
The Wilson and Marshall ticket must
get a majority over all the other can
didates combined, or the state legisla
ture will be called in extraordinary ses
sion to name electors. This would im
pose an expense of from $5,000 to $lO,-
000 upon the treasury. The situation
certainly calls for every Democrat to go
to the polls.
Lewis Smith, Bull Moose treasurer
for Floyd county, is in Atlanta today.
Mr. Smith lives in Rome, and keeps
close tab on what is going on politically
—and particularly has he kept tab on
things this year.
He.says Roosevelt will get from 750
to 1,000 votes In Floyd county.

Centreville. Mies. —“My rkin began
smarting, burning and itching, and as soon

would have to scratch or it seemed as if
I would faint if I did not. When 1 would
scratch pimples or almost welts would rise.
Tho humor commenced about my ankle and
on my legs, and all over my body. Such
a time I had then scratching! I saw where
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment were
a cure for what was called eczema or itch.
I wrote for samples at once. When I
received them I was so I couldn't rest nor
sleep a good night's sleep. I used them
by directions and got some more Cutfeura
Soap and Ointment. There were signs of
pimples where I would scratch, but when
I used Oatlcura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
it toak all the scams away It took leas
