pom SHOW 15 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.

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 golf sticks THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1912. ■HH l!» ,HnBI llw*' 2 SURVIVORS OF TIW TO KO NEW YORK, Oct. 31—Miss Helen M.

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.

"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.)

Sold by all good Grocers. laaist oa having it. 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.
