ANOTHER POULTRY STORY.

In view of the poultry item in a
recent issue of the CALIFORNIAN and
its open invitation to hear from
others in this vicinity on the poultry
issue, 1 take the liberty to
thus write:
Mr.. Knight not being a member
of the Vermont Poultry Association
is not supposed to be made account
able for any poultry story, that is to
have it criticised or audited; where
in any poultry story that the writer
may offer, being a member of the
aforesaid association, makes him
liable, as there is d certain section in
our constitution that makes a pro-
visional penalty for such breach on
the part of any of its members. With
that in view shall proceed with care.
Strictly speaking Mr.. Knights
profits were not in one sense all
derived from his flock alone, but
from a speculative source, as shown
from his statement, entirely legi-
innate and proper. AS stated: four
hundred and sixty head bought for
$40. 81, at an average cost per head
OF nearly 80 cents; sold $50 birds
for $685. IS, averaging nearly SO
cents each, or a profit Of 27c. per head,
which on the $50 head would make
a profit of $124 20, leaving the nice
snug sum of $23s.72 net profit from
his flock of 200 birds, or nearly S1.2O
net per head. This is worthy
record, equalled only by a few.
sincerely beg Mr.. Knights pardon
for thus analyzing his account, and
assure him it is not intended for his
detriment; but it is done that a
member of Poultry Association can
beat (?) a members record, for
it will never do for m embers of said
association to be beaten by non
members. The reputation of the as
socia ton is al stake!

TO "ORGANIZE."
Meeting Of Der OCra,s with s
New idea This Evening,

\ number of those Democrats who
have veered of into the Reform fold, feel.
ing, so they state, that they are repre-
senting the really true Democracy,
have conceived the idea OF organizing a
"Demorratic club" for Asheville.
For day or two papers have been
circulated for signers who will attend
a meeting to further this plan. Between
100 and 200 names are said to have
been secured, and the first meeting has
been appointed for this evening at s
O'Clock in a room over the Western Car
olina bank.
Madame Rumor told The CITIZEN to-
dav that "the meeting is to form Dem
ocratic club for the purpose OF keeping
up the party organization. The Demo-
Gratis connected with the move contend
that there is now no Democratic organi-
zation here, no Democratic ticket in the
field aud no Democratic executive COM
mittce. Therefore, those taking part in
this new move want to show Western
North Carolina that the pending mum
cipal contest is not party fight"

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, April 25.-More
than twenty thousand visitors are in
Birmingham in attendance upon the
fourth annual reunion of the United
Confederate veterans which convened
here today. The city is gaily decorated
with national and Conf derate flags, and
bunting floats from every building, I'M
meuse flags and strcamers are stretched
across the streets. The scene is a gor
gcous one.
Excursion trains arrived last night
and this morning from every part of the
South, bringing in immense crowds of
veterans. All the distinguished living
exConfedtrates are in attendance, as
well as governors of five Southern States:
Gov. Jones, Alabama: Gov. Turney,
Tenn; Gov. Tillman. S, G.; Gov. Hogg,
Texas and Gov. Stone, Miss.
The convention met in the Winnie Da-
Wis wigwam at 8 o'clock. The wigwam

Then followed the enrolment of del, =
gates and the organization of the con
vention, and the report of the historical
committee of which General Stephen D..
Lee, of Mississippi. is chairman. II has
been in session here for two days. The
report says that while the South has
had much to do with making the history
of the nation, it has done little towards
writing it. Histories that have been
written by Northern historians have nat

that data be gathered for correct South

Southern States and the authorities of
schools be urged to adopt books for use
in schools.

Hctty Green and the Forgcrs.

1t was once discovered in Chicago that
forged deeds to property owned by Mrs.
Hetty Green to the amount of 81 900 900
were i'll circulation. When the attempt of
the schemers to raise money on the forged
deeds brought the plot to light, Mrs.
Green's attorney, Mr.. Bisbcc, set to work
to protect her interests and bag the crooks
a trap was set for the forgcrs, and the rs.
sistance of the chief of police and his de-
tcctivc bureau and of n big trust company
was secured. 1t was necessary to consum
mate some transfer or deal on the forger
les or obtain the forged document itself
Secrecy was the only hope of gaining
proof of guilt, rs the law does not touch
the holders, but only the makers of forged
deeds.
Attorney Bisbcc was to delay filing n
bill i'll chanccry to quiet the title to the
property until the thieves were caught
But the minute Mrs. Green, who was at
Far Rockaway, heard of the arrangement
she hurried TO Chicago and hired another
lawyer to file the necessary bill. She had
stormy interview with Mr.. Bisbee, in
which she declared that she had not the
slightest interest in bringing the forgcrs
to justice, and that he should have known
better than to take any chances.
"Iou look after my interests, Bisbec, I"
she said sharply, land keep the titles to
my property clear. That's what | pay
you for. Let the police catch their own
thieves. New York World.
