POULTRY SHOW.
Successful Exhibition Given at High
POin*

POin;.
High Point, n. c., Jan. 23.-The
second annual exhibition of the
North Carolina Poultry show which
began here Friday and continued un-
til Tuesday night the 2Oth, was a
great success in the way of exhibits,
attendance and from a financial
standpoint It was by far the largest
and best display of feathered beau
ties ever gathered together under
one roof in North Carolina. Cox
Hall, where the show was held, is an
ideal place. Everything was conve-
niently arranged. Vanderbilt's ex-
hibits from Biltmore occupied a
prominent place, but there we're
equally as fine birds as Vanderbilt's,
some better. The exhibits from
distance were by far the largest ever
seen in the State.
The following officers we're elect
ed for the ensuing year: President,
A. E. Tate, of High Point; First
Vice-President, W. II. McEachern,
Wilmington, n. c.; Second Vice
President, B. S. Davis, Charlotte,
N. c.; Third Vice-President, F. III.
McAdams, Burlington, N. c.; Sec
tary, J. w. L. Thompson, Burling-
ton; Treasurer, A V. Sapp, High
Point; Superintendent, Jesse "A
Harrill, Ellenboro.
The next place of holding the
show is not definitely decided, but
it will most probably be held in High
Point, January, 1904. The North
Carolina Poultry Show was not or
ganized to make money for itself as
an organization, but to uniform and
popularize the leading varieties of
fowls, to help the individual pro-
ducer by bringing him. better returns
and also to help the consumer in Civ
ing him a better product. North
Carolina is fast becoming famous
for her poultry products. Not only
is her surplus of poultry and eggs
being shipped to large cities north,
east and south, but she is sending
choicest breeding fowls everywhere,
and the fowls and eggs for Matching
that have been sent across the ocean
to foreign countries give great sat-
isfaction.
More people are interested in poul-
try now than ever before and there
is a constant and ever-increasing de-
mand for everything the poultryman
has to spare at remunerative prices.
