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. \ AIRSHIP ELOPERS RECOVER; PLAN TO TRY FLIGHT AGAIN FORT WAYNE.

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.

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. SCHOONER SINKS WITH 12. <'< a>S HAY. OREG.. Nov. 1.

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.

SHOT AND KILLED BY HIS 10-YEAR-OLD BOY STERMNC. ILL.. Nov. 1. Georgp How i»f Brookville, w;;s Hhol and killed h> hi- len-3enison while hunting; 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 ’-4 C a f Si JAMB-3 B XKVX« 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. The president may walk along the streets of Xugusta like any other citl- Biscuits, Cakes and Pastry made with T> at [BAKIXG POWDERLI remain fresh and palatable;—they do not dry out, or leave the bad taste so commonly noticed when some other Baking Powders are used. 1 lb. 20c.—X lb. 10c.—}tflb.

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. 5
