POULTRY EXHIBIT

spend considerable time in looking over
the exhibit.
The Brahmas make an excellent
showing, and those who were fortunate
enough to see the birds yesterday were
loud in their praises of them. The
arrangement of the coops has been
made with an eye to contrasting the
breeds and thus best bring out the
points of difference. The Brahmas is
one of the most popular breeds among
professional fanciers as well as among
those who raise chickens simply for the
purpose of using the eggs.
The pheasants are of unusual inter-
est and will be the centers of attrac-
ton to most of the visitors to the
shows. The coloring of the plumage
of this bird is unusually rich and
brilliant and the number of easily dis
tinguishable tints is remarkable. The
bulk of the color, and in fact all OF
the more brilliant tints, is in the tail
feathers. These are long and sweep
ing, resembling pIumes in many re-
spects. The coloring is sprinkled over
the feathers, generally taking the form
OF small circles composed of different
coOred bapds. The number of colors
which are thus worked into one small
circle is remarka BILE. All of the color
ing is in the bright, rich, tents, and
for real beauty outshines the we'll
known coloring of the peacocks tail.
There is also a big display of BAN
toms, pigeons, geese, and turkeys.
The fan tail pigeons seem to have been
a favorite with the majority of the
breeders and there is a large array
of them on exhibit. The poultry ex-
hibit is one of the best features of the
fair, and none can afford to pass it
by.

MANY PRIZE GAMES
IN POULTRY EXHIBIT.

The managers of both the Belmont
Poultry Farm and that of the Valdosta
farm have given special at
tention to the game chickens. There
are some chickens here which won first
prize at exhibits in which the renown-
ed Biltmore chickens were shown. An
oHer was made by some of the local
sports and chicken fanciers for these
plrds, but the owners refused to sell,
stating that they did not believe the
plrds could be duplicated. All the
games are clean cut and strong APP
pearing, and in case of a battle IL
would be a difficult matter to pick a
winner The eyes are bright, the wings
held close in toward the body, and the
spurs are exceedingly well developed
ana strong. Two specially fine birds
are shown by the Valdosta farm, and
they were inspected carefully by other
eNhlbltors. These chickens took the
1rst prize at some of the largest
Northern poultry shows.

only remotely possible.

heGclNG0 Ne"Ss
But the Associated Press dispatch,
received by the Morning News, put
different aspect on the matter, and the
Newport will probably get under way
to-day. Capt. Metz was at dinner at
the De Soto, the guest of Mayor My
ers, when a representative of the Morn
ing News showed him the Associated
Press telegram. The dinner was about
over, but the dispatch threw something
of a damper on the party.
The commander of the Newport was
in a quandary, and could not say just
what he would do He may coal in
Savannah to-day, and he may leave for
Port Royal and coal there. Capt. Metz
Navy Department if it is intended to
have him coal Immediately and pro-
coed to San Domingo. He said that
he could either stay his time out or
leave at once and still follow the in
structions that had been telegraphed
him.
Must Go at Once.
That it is intended, however, for the
Newport to coal Immediately and leave
for San Domingo at full speed is shown
by the following special dispatch re-
ceived by the Morning News from
Washington after the sending out of
the Associated Press dispatch:
Washington, Nov Newport or
dered to proceed to Santo Domingo, re-
lieving Baltimo e, ordered to Colon,
because of threatened resistance of Co
lombian TROOPS.
The, original programme was for the
Newport to go to Santo Domingo, but
in Difference to the urgent request of
the citizens of Savannah, the Newport
was ordered to Savannah for five days
to participate.
Last Tuesday Acting Secretary of the
Navy Darling stated to me that the
department was breaking up it's pro-
gramme for the North Atlantic squad
ron by ordering the Newport to Savan-
nah.
On that occasion he said: I'VE have
more urgent need for the Viewpoints
services elsewhere than at Savannah"
To-nigTt's news that the Colombian
government has ordered 1000 troops to
Panama, to put down rebellion neces-
states the immediate sailing of the
Baltimore from Santo Domingo, and
hence the Newport must proceed at
once to Santo Domingo. because the
presence of a United States warship is
needed there. This is the explana-
ton given at the Navy Department.
Capt. Metz stated that he can take
on about a hundred tons of coal in
five hours He had not decided wheth-
er he would run over to the naval sta
ton at Port Royal or coal in Savannah

At Montgomery and Forty-first
streets, at midnight, last night, trolley
car No of the Montgomery street
line was held up by four negroes.
The motorman and conductor show
ed fight and lost their caps in the scuf-
file. The conductors clothes were bad
" torn and he lost his badge. The
negroes were the only passengers on
the car, and made the assault while
the conductor was changing his trolley.
The attack was sudden, and the con-
ductor was unprepared. He. fought
desperately to keep the men from get
ting at his money, and the motorman
ran to his assistance with the con-
troller handle. The negroes were final
" beaten off and made their escape,
going in southerly direction.
The car barns was called up by tele-
phone and the hold-up was reported by
the conductor. The police were also
promptly notified. Desk Sergeant
Baughn hurried a detail Of mounted
men to the scene of the hold-up. and
a special car, with several men, from
the barns Of the street railway COM
pany, was sent out.

negroes, ran and score of shots were
fired at them. One of the party was

of Southover Junction were being
searched for the other three highway

FAIR DIRECTORS
MEET THIS MORNING.

President A. B. Moore has called a
meeting Of the fair directors for this
morning at II o'clock. The meeting
was originally called for yesterday aft
ernoon, but owing to the rush of BUSH
ness at the grounds the meeting was
postponed until to-day. This will be
one of the most important sessions
that have been held, and President
Moore is anxious that large number
of the directors attend. The matter
of extending the time of the fair will
be finally settled.

and makes a handsome showing. Like
the majority of the county exhibits the
booth is surrounded with a low wall of
baIed hay, and on this the smaller farm
products are placed. In the rear of
the booth a pyramid has been erect
ed. and on the steps the canned goods
are grouped in a tasteful array.
Throughout the booth are groupings
of corn, cotton, wheat, rye, oats, bar
ley, squashes, apples, pears, and in
fact, every variety of farm produce.
Several handsome crazy quilts are
shown, one of which dates back to
Colonial days. The exhibit is one of
the prettiest of the entire set.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-11-08

Mendicants of all colors, sizes and
ages have been drifting into savan-
nah during the last few days and
their presence on the street was par
ticularly noticeable yesterday.
But they must not tarry, or If they
do they must spend the money that
they have secured in other places and
not attempt to increase the size of
their rolls with Savannah cash. For
beggars are all supposed to be more
or less well off so far as the filthy
lucre is concerned.
Warning has been given by the uni
formed men and the travelling army Of
aims takers must take to the tall
timbers, or suffer arrest. The home
product, that is the worthy poor who
Savannahians have with them at all
seasons, will not be molested SO long
as they behave themselves, but tha
new faces will not he permitted to
work either one side of the street or
the other.
just as soon as complaint was lodged
at police headquarters and the atten-
tion of the superintendent was called
to the fact that there was begging a1-
most on every street corner, orders
were issued to the men on the street
to chase the pan handlers. The PATROL
men were instructed to make arrests
il it was found necessary. The men
on the afternoon relief passed the
word around and IL the boys with hard
luck stories are In evidence this week
they are in great danger Of being
arrested
All manner of stories are told by
the mendicants, and some of them are
as unique as they are bold. Their de-
formities are innumerable, although
quite a number are simply in hard
luck, as they will explain at length.
A majority of them are insolent if a
pedestrian chances to get a little gay
and suggestion that I'm working
this side of the street" will throw them
one and all into a violent temper
The fellow who is frank enough to
say that he only wants enough to get
drink, and who most likely looks like
he needs II, makes good when the ap-
peals Of the cripples fall upon deaf
ears. He is usually persistent, and in
the majority of cases selects a pedes-
TRAN who looks as though he might
know just what it means TO really
want gulp Of booze. This class of
beggar is usually good natured, and his
sensitive nature is hardly ever found
During race meeting beggars reap
harvest Y they work in the right ter
ritory. A man who is on his way to
the track and intends to put a few
on the ponies wouldn't think of turning
down an unfortunate fellow being, and
the fellow with a hump on his back
would be showered with silver The
same mendfcants do we'll after the
races, for there is no per-
son more generous than the
sport who has won a wad on
the horses that ne backed. In this way
the wise beggar plays both encs against
the middle and makes good. But they
must find other fields--unless they can
prove absolutely that they are not
transients.

CATTLE SHOW READY
TO OPEN TOMORROW.

With the opening of the Fair Ground
gates tomorrow the cattle show will
be thrown open to the public. There
are a number of entries in this de-
partment and the stalls will be well
worth visit. Most of those who have
raised the cattle for the ordinary uses
only and not for exhibit purposes alone.
This fact makes the show all the
more interesting and gives a good
idea of what Georgians are doing in
this line

THE NEW MILL.
Proposition is Taken Up By the Chamber Of
Commerce.

At the regu ar meeting OF the Chamber
OF ommerce, Tuesday evening there
was tar representation of the bu mess
element OF the city, and the leading
bushes OF the session was the PROPOSE
ton of Creech Bros. and associates for a
mill site.
The committee, appointed at the previ
ons meeting, reported that the price,
$500, named by c. T. Wooding, one
third owner, was an error, and John q.
Lewis, who owns one.third, and controls
the other third interest held by Il. II.
Evans, explained that the price set by
them for some time past was $4,000 that
they lad owned this property for about
Is years, and few years ago, in order
TO preserve mill site intact, they had
paid $500 for three lots within the past
four years.
MIR. Lewis was present. and said the
owner OF the site would take stock in
the company in payment OF the site, or
they would be found liberal donators to
the propositi IN, as owners Of other large
chunks of city realty.
Up to this noon 1925 had been sub
scribcd, and n. q. kaufman, the best
hustler of the city in affairs of this kind,
said that the committee had lost their
nerve. and considered the raising OF
$4,000 impossible at this time, when TIE
fact is considered that $500 had just
been raised for tire Union Mill Co. The
committee will make another effort for
this mill, and each citizen should re-
member when called upon, that this
just as busy as they are, ana should re-
spond promptly, or. il declining, say SO
at once, and not occupy t! { valuable
time OF these gentlemen useiessly.
