State War Relic 1u.sum.

A determined effort is to be made
looking to the establishment Of a State
museum of Revolutionary and Confed-
crate war relics, such as flags, etc., in
which the State is so wealthy. The
object is to establish this museum and
set apart quarters for it in the State
Capitol building, where all strangers
and lovers of relics can go at any time
and inspect the exhibits.
Some weeks ago Adjt. Gen. Farley
received the following letter from
Gen. M. G. Butler, which letter has
caused the Inauguration Of this effort
which will likely result in the estab-
lishment of such museum:
EDeEr1ELD, Nov. 80, 1893.
Gen. n. L. Farley-Dear Sir: Let
me make q suggestion. I find there
are a great many relics Of the Revolu-
tionary as well as the Confederate war
in the hands Of private parties that
ought to be in State museum. As
time goes on these parties take less
and less interest in them and my sug-.
gestion is that you arrange to have
them deposited in the Adjutant Gen
erals ofsoe for usafe-keeping. Some,
plain glass cases along the walls would
not occupy much space and would not
cost much. Don't you think you
could get the Legislature to allow you
a small appropriation to start it and
then invite people to deposit their
relics I? Yours very truly,
NJ. G. BUTLER.
Gen. Farley has been thinking over
the suggestion Of Gen. Butler for
some time. Yesterday Gen. Kershalw
came to the city and after a brief con
sultation he and Gen. Farley called
upon Governor Tillman. A consulta-
tion was held by these three for quite
a time. It was decided to undertake
the establishment of such museum;
at once. Governor Tillman and Gen.
Farley will not ask for an appropria-
tion at this session of the General As
-sembly, but will appropriate SO much
Of their contingent funds as may be
necessary to carry out the scheme:
request all parties who have relics of
either war to send them to Adjt. Gen.
Farley, together with brief histori-:.
cal sketch of the articles. They will
be properly taken care Of and marked
with the name Of the owner. Any ar
ticles that may havebelonged to dis.
tinguished men, any battle flags, OF.
any articles with associations Of an
historical nature, ETC., are wanted.
The object is to get as many Of these
relics as possible into the handsof the
Adjutant General by next fall, when
grand meeting Of the people Of the
State will be arranged to be held in
the hall Of the House Of Represents.
tiyes, at which the notable relics will
be presented and displayed by men
who know their history. This; accom-
plished, the Legislature will be asked
to establish an attractive museum in
the Capitol.building.
No doubt the plan will meet with
general favor and Gen. sFarley's Office.
will soon be the depository Of many
valuable relics.-Cozumbia State.

this convention WILL cOuSlQer Gne ulat-
ter and pronounce itself in favor Of
buying and selling poultry by the
pound instead Of by The head.
This I consider is one way to i'm
prove the condition Of the farm poul-
try; the other way is, to improve the
laying qualities Of the hens. This can
be done also by the introduction Of
purebred male birds among the COM
mon hens. The old dunghill rooster
must go. He is back date. He
stands in the way OF. progress, and
must be set aside.
I would first abolish the dunghill
cock and then I would go to the
breeders of such thoroughbred varie-
ties as the Leghorn, tile Minorcas, the
Spanish or the Hamburgs. My choice
would be the Brown Leghorns. The
other varieties just named are all
good layers, and there are some breeds
that I have not naiaed that are good
layers, but with mt the Brown Leg
horn stands first. The weight Of tes.
timony from the glneral poultry fra
ternity is in favor df the Leghorn as
the best layer of ALL So then, / would
get Brown Leghors cocks and mate
them with the common hens Of the
farm. This I wouH do for economy's
sake the first year, instead Of buying
Leghorn hens too.
The pullets from such mating
would lay much bunger than their
dunghill mothers1 and lay at least
one-third more eggs a year. A COM
mon hen lays ON ale average ninety
eggs in 365 days, whereas purebred
Leghorn hen layi from $50 to It's
eggs in the same length Of time.
Nearly twice as muEh as the dunghill.
These are we'll atttEsted facts.
It. is true that d the market "an
egg is an egg" f" and Zone egg is as good
as another, provida it is not bad
egg. But it capnosbe denied, gentle
men, that two eggsare better than one
and is worth just tssice as much. This
is the point for us f. keep in view in
grading up farm poultry. We want
more eggs, and theAVay to get them is
to introduce the blood Of the best
laying stock amongsour common hens.
I would take thegrade or half-breed
pullets Of the first crossing and mate
them the second yaar with other pure
bred Brown LegFarn cocks, and |
would continue Chit system Of mating
until the farm henashould be elevated
to the standard ofpure Leghorns in
blood and laying characteristics.
{ This course would; in few years,
cause two eggs to befound where only
one is found to-day, and result in a
general increase in, the value of the
farm poultry Of theState quite beyond
calculation. &
Where large market chickens and
grade Leghorn pulletss are both desired
on tbs same farm, they may be easil y
raised by simply mating part Of the
common hens withSa cock Of the lar
ger breeds, and pssst with a Leghorn
cock. keeping the tWo aocks separated
either by distance pr fencing during
the laying and haching season.-H.

breeder is handicapped by system Of
marketing poultry that works injustice
to both, and to the consumer as we'll.
When we consider, gentlemen, that
an ordinary mongrel fowl weighs from
four to seven pounds only, and then
remember that purebred Brah1ua, a
Cochin or a Langshan fowl weighs
from nine to twelve pounds, and Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandottes from
seven to ten pounds, then we can
readily see the great advantage that
would accrue to both the farmer and
the fancier, if justice should be done
to all, and fowls sold by the pound in
stead Of by the head or the dozen.
The system of selling by weight,
once adopted, would open a new mar
ket for the surplus grain and vegeta-
bles of the farm. Corn and wheat
and potatoes and other surplus pro-
ducts, besides the general forage Of
the farm, such as fowls live and fat
ten on, could be turned into poultry
meat and sold by the pound, just the
same as it is now turned into pork
and beef. The poultry would be fat
| tened before being taken to market
for every pound then will have its
| value in cash and the fowls would
at the same time br much tendcrel
and sweeter in fen, and therefore
much more satisfactory to the con.
sumer.
Gentlemen, this is q vital question

WRECK ON THE RAIL.
Sixteen Persons Hurt In Collision on
Texas Railroad.

Texas Railroad.
AZ the result of collision between two
passenger trains one mile west of Waxa-
hachie, Texas, sixteen persons were bad
~ injured. The west-bOund Texas Cen
trail passenger train was slowly passing
over the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railway crossing when the south bound
passenger train on the latter road crashed
into tho rear coach, striking 1t squarely
In the middle and Overturning Il. The
passengers and seats were piled In mass
In the forward part Of the car. An In.
slant later the car caught fire from IN
overturned stove and threatened to add
an additional danger to the wreck. A
line Of hose was hurriedly stretched
from the Texas Central locomotive to
the burning coach and the flames were
extinguished before any person had suf.
fered from fire. After half an hours hard
work the wounded passengers were got
out. Two persons were found to be
fatally and fourteen seriously injured.
II seems almost miraculous that no one
was killed outright. as the coach was
crushed like an eggshell. Tho accident
was caused by the alleged failure of tho
air brakes on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas train.
