POULTHY LOVERS
CROWD SHOW IN
last ms
Heavy Trading Is Expected by
Exhibitors Until Doors Close
Saturday Night.
Less than two days of Atlanta's poul
try show remain.
The best ten-cent show ever offered
to the poultry lovers of America will
pass into history Saturday night. And
from the present time until taps are
sounded tomorrow night at 10 o’clock
the Audtorium will be crowded with
poultry enthusiasts.
The show is proving a tremendous
success. So many first-class birds are
exhibited, and there are so many ex
ceptional features that the affair has
drawn like a magnet—and will draw
until the final curtain drops on the
greatest exhibit of high-class birds that
the South has ever known.
Tomorrow, of course, will be the big
day. As long as daylight lasts, it will
be “children's day.” The young folks
will be out of school, and they are sure
to take advantage of the cut price and
the many features to see the show.
Bantam Class Strong.
There is much in the present exhibi
tion that is of interest to youngsters.
In the first place, it is an exceptionally
■strong exhibit of bantams and these
tiny specimens are always pleasing to
the youngsters. Then the Briarcliff ex
hibit of bears, monkeys, storks, cranes,
pheasants, and such, is exceptionally
attractive to the young folks.
Saturday night will witness the big
wind-up—and a lot of trading, for there
are many big deals hanging fire.
The show has been a good one for
sales. Everybody who has had any
good stock to offer has been able to
dispose of it—and the prices have been
good. For instance. Asa G. Candler,
Jr., gave $350 to Owen Farm for their
first prize winning pen of White Wyan
dottes, and this same concern has made
two other first-class sales, the details
df which have not been announced.
Other concerns of less note have done a
correspondingly good business. The or
ders for eggs have been exteptionally
heavy, due to the fact that last year
was a wretchedly poor hatching sea
son and that breeders and poultry rais
ers in general are way behind on young
stock and arc determined to make an
early start toward getting it back.
Dark Bird Wins.
One of the remarkable coincidences
of the show now going on is that a
firm whose entry was unheralded turn
ed. up with the best bird. This firm was
the Atlanta Poultry Yards. 582 West
.Peachtree street, and the bird in ques
tion was a Barred Plymouth Rock cock
they entered. In 1911 this bird took a
first at Madison Square Garden in the
cockerel class. And this year in Atlanta
it not only took first, but it won the
prize for the best cock bird in the show,
and if there had been a prize of any
sort for the very best single bird in
the show, this one would have copped.
Judge W <'. Pierce, of Carmel. Ind., a
world famous expert, gave it. as his
qpinion that the bird was one of the
best Barred Plymouth Rocks in the
worid. and that it was worth SI,OOO if
it was worth a penny. \

PUNS FUND FOR
WAR PLAGUE
That Atlanta loses $10,900,000 a year
through tuberculosis was the startling
statement of Alex Smith, Atlanta attor
ney, at a luncheon of business leaders
at the Piedmont hotel. H. M.
Willet, chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce committee on turberculo
sis and of the finance committee of
the association, declared that eight pa
tients died in each week and 400 a
year.
After the luncheon Mr. Willet ap
pointed a representative committee to
raise $3,000 to maintain the association
in operating expenses. When this was
raised, said Mr. Willet, the sale of 2.-
000,000 tuberculosis stamps at Christ
mas, 1,500,000 in the state and half a
million in Allanta, would make money
matters easier.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1912.
Monster Carnival Parade Will
Be Striking Feature of Week
of Jollification.
Children of Atlanta —the children for
whom the coming of Santa Claus is al
ways a question—-are taking the keen
est interest in the .Elks Kirmess, and
knowing- this, the dancers are doubling
their efforts to make tlie entertainment
a whirlwind success.
Tlie real turkey trot, the dance as it
should be danced, will be a feature of
the Kirmess. Thirty young women at
tired in Yama Yama costumes will
demonstrate to Atlanta that the much
abused dance is not only perfectly
proper, but graceful as well.
Directors of the Kirmess, which is
scheduled for the Auditorium on No
vember 7, 8 and 9, for the benefit of
the Christmas stocking fund, have de
cided to make the turkey trot the
feature of the Yama Y’atna ballet, one
of the most pretentious numbers on
the program.
Elaborate preparations are under way
to make the street parade on the night
of Wednesday, November 6. tin- most
successful thing of its kind ever un
dertaken in Atlanta. It Is to be a
carnival parade on a gigantic scale.
Two regiments of infantry, drill teams
of various lodges, squads of Boy Scouts,
1,000 Elks carrying torches and lanterns
and 750 Kirmess performers in costume
will be in the line of march. The pro
cession will cover the main thorough
fares of the city.
The Kirmess is to be given for the
benefit of the Christmas stocking fund,
a fund designed t > aid Atlanta’s poor,
not only children, but adults as well.
The Elks expect to n alize from $6,000
to $7,000 from the four performances.
More than 200 qembers of the order are
working on the various committees.

IALABAMAN KILLS
HIS STEPEATHER
MONTGOMERY'. ALA., Nov. I.—" I
killed him because he was trying to
roll me of land left to me by my grand
father on my father’s side," declared W.
G. Oakley, in prison today, when asked
if he had a statement concerning his
killing of P. A. Wood, his step-father,
at tlie capitol late yesterday after
noon. The prisoner, a little more than
30 years old, had a wild stare in his
eyes, but conversed intelligently and
felt no remorse over the deed that has
shocked all Alabama.
Oakley said that Wood had no moral
claim on 250 acres of land in question,
but that Wood and James G. Oakley,
his step-uncle, president of the state
convict board, had entered a chancery
suit in Bibb county to dislodge him (the
prisoner) from possession of the prop,
erty. He declared that upon the death
of his inotiu r tlie land rightfully de
scended to him and his imbecile sister,
the latter now dead.
“I can not understand why they had
to take these depositions in Montgom
ery,” he said. “Centerville was a more
convenient place for me and all parties
concerned. Wood made statements dur
ing the taking- of the depositions re
flecting upon my character as a gen
tleman. Jim Oakley also made crook
ed statements. My attorneys have ad
vised me it will be imprudent to talk
and I will have no further statement.”
Oaklet fired three shots into the body
of Wood after he had refused Wood’s
i appeal for life. Oakley surrendered and
is in tiie county jail under charge of
first degree murder. A special grand
jury term to be held November 6 will
investigate this shooting.
The shooting took place In the old
offices of the secretary of state, which
an now being placed in condition for
the state convict department. James
G. Oakley was with Wood and Oakley
a few seconds before tlie shooting be
gan, but just before the first shot was
tired W( nt from the capitol corridor
into Governor u'Nml’s office.
Tlie men were enemies because of
tlie chancery suit over the property left
by Mrs. Wood.

NIBDASSHE
GREETS WILSON
Democratic Candidate Cheered
for More Than an Hour in
Madison Square Garden.
NEW YORK. Nov. 1. —Governor Wood
row Wilson, speaking last night to an au
dience that filled every corner of Madison
Square Garden, received the greatest ova
tion of his campaign for the presidency.
Entering the hall at 9:11 o'clock, after
speaking before an enthusiastic audience
in the Bronx, the Democratic candidate
stood for an hour and three minutes at
the railing of the speaker's platform wait
ing for the demonstration to end.
Starting with the first shouts from the
doorway when Governor Wilson arrived
by automobile from the Bronx meeting,
the Madison Square outbreak defied his
utmost efforts to quell it. The govern
or’s motions for quiet brought only re
newed cheers.
Chants of “We want Wilson!" shook
the hall, and twice when the cheering
had slightly subsided it was started with
renewed vigor by young women who
forced their way to the front of tlte
front of the speaker’s stand and inspired
the crowd to fresh efforts.
Underwood a Speaker.
Congressman Oscar W. Underwood, of
Alabama, who had been Governor Wil
son’s opponent for the Democratic nomi
nation, and Congressman William Sulzer,
candidate for governor of New York, pre
ceded Governor Wilson at Madison Square
Garden. Mr. Underwood had continued
but a few minutes when Governor Wilson
arrived, and he gave way before the dem
onstration for the governor.
"Government Is an enterprise of man
kind—not of parties,” Governor Wilson
said. “As election day approaches I have
a greater and greater feeling of satisfac
tion because I know that the American
people are about to make one of the most
vital choices of their lives. From one
ocean to the other, men are becoming
j aware that in less than a week the com
mon people of America will come into
their own.
“I know from the reports coming from
all parts of the country that the new party
has nbt come from the Democrats. There
fore. it mpst be made up of those Repub
licans who are dissatisfied with the regu
lar organization and Its avowed purpose
and programs.
"All men have to do is to realize that
the common enterprises of life are the
enterprises of politics; that a man Is not
voting an abstract political creed, but is
voting a program of justice and of right
when he votes at the polls.
Scores Rash Promises.
“You have got to have a vital organi
zation of purpose spreading throughout
the United States In order ibat great
bodies of men may unite together for the
great project of emancipation, and the
only possible chance of having a great
united organization after the 4th of March
next is to vote tho Democratic ticket.
"After next Tuesday we shall know
not what men are going to profess, but
what men are going to do. God be pitiful
to the man who promises the American
people what he is not ready to perform.
The case is made up; the case is before
the jury.
"I myself do not doubt the verdict, but
I want to say to you that if the verdict
shall be that the people of the United
States have voted upon their Individual
convictions as free men, I, for my part,
am ready to accept the verdict, w'hether
it is for me or against me; for unless you
believe in the things that I believe in and
purpose the things that I purpose, it
will be of no avail if you elevate me to
the isolated and lonely office.”
At the big rally in the Bronx, Governor
Wilson took occasion to reply to the talk
of his opponents that the prosperity of
the country would be affected by his elec
tion. He pointed to the betting odds
in Wall Street, so largely in favor of
Democratic success. This was what he
called his “answer In a nutshell,” show
ing, he declared, that there is not the
slightest prospect of any check In the
country’s prosperity. The only way the
prosperity of the country could be In
jured, he said, was by the deliberate ef
forts of Wall Street.
“The gentlemen In Wall Street do not
bet 5 to 1 on their own destruction, and
they do not go 'to their business smiling
and complacent when they expect a de
luge next week," was his way of put
ting K.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
The death of Vice President James
Schoolcraft Sherman is a matter of
deep and abiding regret to several

members of the
Georgia congres
sional delegation
The vice presi
dent and Con
gressman Lee, of
the Seventh dis
trict, were partic
ularly close friends
and between them
a bond of rare and
genuine affection
existed—an at
tachment formed
when Mr. Sher
man was a mem
ber of the New
York delegation in
the house of rep
resentatives.
It was not often
that Mr. Lee and the vice president
managed to get together in their politi
cal views, but otherwise they generally
were in perfect and pleasing accord.
Mr. Sherman was, perhaps, especially
while a member of the house, the most
popular man In congress. And he was
popular not altogether in a light or
hail-fellow-well-met kind of way—ev
erybody cordially liked him, respected
him, and esteemed him.
There never was a more democratic
vice president of the United States—
there hardly could have been —than
James Schoolcraft Sherman.
He assumed no airs; he never chang
ed because of ills elevation to the sec
ond highest office in the land. He had
a rare sense of humor, anyway—and
in the activity of the man politically he
profited much because of the saving
grace of it. He never took politics too
seriously. However high his brow may
have been, he never suspected it of be
ing any fraction of an inch higher than
it really was.
Mr. Brantley, Mr. Adamson and Mr.
Hardwick, as well as Mr. Lee, enjoyed
a largo measure of Mr. Sherman’s
friendship and regard.
Now’ Is the winter of Democratic
discontent made glorious summer
by a real star of hope. Already
there are 46 candidates for the
postmastership of Thomasville, Ga.
—and the game yet is young.
Augusta has lost none of its real love
for President Taft.
The president frequently visits In Au
gusta, and frankly says he prefers a
sojourn there to anywhere else In the
United States.
He is fond of golf, and no links are
finer than those he is invited to use in
Augusta.
He likes to meet people on a friendly,
human sort of plane—he delights to
mix and mingle with men and women
who do not forget he is the president,
yet never seem to remember it. He
particularly enjoys the gentle, refined
atmosphere of Augusta.

lowed by a crowd. He has said, more
than once, that folks are folks more
surely in Augusta than anywhere.
He made one of Augusta’s citizens a
Justice of the supreme court —much by
way of compliment to the citizen, and
more in compliment to Augusta.
Ask any Augusta man how the presi
dential race will wind up. Likely he
will tell you he hopes to see Taft win—■
never will he admit that Taft is not
sure to beat Roosevelt!
The Augusta Chronicle of Thursday
gives It as a deliberate opinion that the
race is to finish Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt.
Now that the New York Democ
racy has produced a registered
voter named O’Cohen, the Democ
racy of Georgia would seem justi
fied in believing that everybody is
about to get right.
The very happiest man In Georgia,
perhaps, when Wilson has been de
clared a winner next Tuesday night,
will be Editor Pleasant A. Stovall, of
The Savannah Press.
For months Stovall has walked, talk
ed, written, lived and breathed Wilson.
Never frowned the clouds so low and
dark that Stovall failed to remind the
faithful that behind the clouds the sun
still was shining, and that the silver
lining attaching was the real article,
moreover.
Wilson lived much of his young man
hood in Savannah, and Stovall knew
him then and there as a young man
much after Stovall’s ow n heart —affable,
kind, Intellectual and not too wise for
the association of the common or gar
den variety of people.
Stovall thinks, it would be an ever
lasting and eternal disgrace for Georgia
to fail in any part of its duty to Wilson
—and that has been the text of his ser
mons and the burden of his songs for
many moons!
It is all unselfish, too. Stovall is
moved entirely by a sincere and com
pelling affection for his former fellow
townsman and friend.
Georgians, particularly members of
the last five or six general assemblies,
will watch the fight in Savannah for a
commission form of government with
great interest as it progresses froth
this time forward.
Former Representative Alexander A.
Lawrence, "the walking delegate from
Chatham," has assumed command of
the anti-commlsslon forces, and a bat
tle royal Is promised.
Lawrence Is a past master in poli
tics, and rarely falls to put things over,
once he undertakes the putting. He
can be as wise as a serpent and as
harmless as a dove, either or both, as
the occasion may require. He is a sort
of machine gun, operated on a disap
pearing carriage, and usually loaded
with smokeless powder of a relatively
noiseless persuasion. He is very ef
fective, nevertheless; and h® works
great havoc In the enemy's eamp as a
rule.
Lawrence’s former friends tn the leg
islature, regardless of the its, ands and
buts of the Savannah commission gov
ernment fight, will Incline to bet Law
rence wins It. They are used to seeing
Lawrence win his fights.
