WHY THE EXHIBITION.
Why the poultry show? The raising
OF birds Is profession, some call 1t
an art, and ii interests. Also il gives
longing for one man to compare his
product with that OF another. and to
compare notes on methods. Incident
ally for the large breeder, II gives him
a chance to bring his birds to public
notice and advertises him In a prac-
ticable way, while the competiu n for
first place does much to raise the stan
dard of breeds and to prev II the in
PRODUCTION Of common mongrel fowls

NOT BY THE FARMERS.
Down on the marshes the duck hunt
ers are men from the Office desks Of
the city, and 1t is also thus on the trOut
streams In angling season. by the sane
tokens. the raising of fancy poultry is
not by farmers pr men VINO engage IN
1t as a business. so much as It Is b.
professional men, and Office men who
want something to do when away from
work. II becomes fad with them, or
a fancy, and they delight in freaks
carefully built up through years of
breeding. Hence the coops OF fancy
birds. going far afield from the regula-
ton standards. and the names Of such
men as Or e. G. Plurnmer and Or.
+ b. Pfoutz. prominent among poultry
enthusiasts.
DIR. PLUMBERS EXPERIENCE
II Is told Of Dr. Plummer that he
hatched a chick last season that cost
him $40 I'm imported eggs that wouldn't
ratch and that he felt satisfied.
Whether he felt so or not, Is not OF
positive record but his coops number
only few. but the birds In them get
more care than most children. and are
all bred for points only. He runs to
Orpingtons this season and this bird
perhaps leads all the others as new
favorite.
HOW BREEDS CHANGE.
Its an odd thing IN the chicken world
how show breeds change, Time was
when the big heavy brahmas. cochins
and langshangs filed the coops and
then slowly they faded away tn now
hardly a farm house can be found that
knows them. Then came the Plymouth

WOMAN SAID TO HAVE
POISONED FIVE PERSONS

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 2S:-
Wholesale murder or husband, two
children and two boarders is the
charge upon which Mrs. Bridget
Carey, keeper of boarding house at
Nineteenth and Hamilton streets, was
arrested by detectives and a repre-
sentative of the coroner's Office
Anxiety to collect the insurance
money upon the lives of the alleged
victims is the motive for the crime
ascribed by the police.
Attention was called to this al
legged series of murders by the death
one week ago of Mrs. Carey's two
children, Anna and May, six and
eight years old, respectively. At the
time of their death the fatality was
ascribed to eating poisonous candy.
Neighbors and members of the
household, however, aroused the s g
picions of the police by telling of the
burning thirst of the children before
their death, and when investigation
showed numerous other deaths in
the house a short time before and
that Mrs Carey had insurance on
the lives of the dead ones the police
began a careful investigation.

REPUBLICAN
CONFERENCE
Committee from Garfield Battery
Discussed Movement on Foot
With County Committeeman.
MAY TAKE HELM IN THIS CITY.
Report of the Committee Will Be Civ
en- to the Battery Tonight and
Some Actual Work for the Future
Will Be Planned-Party Affairs to
Undergo Great Change Here and
Independent Movement May Result

A committee composed of twelve
members of the Garfield Battery met
with the members of the county exc
cutive committee in the Odd Fellows
building last night, and, it is un-
derstood, discussed the affairs of the
G. o. P. in this city. At the last
meeting of the battery communi-
cation was received from the county
committeeman suggesting that u
meeting be held for the purpose of
talking over the affairs of the repub-
lican party. Captain Ferd Garretson
thereupon appointed a committee of
twelve to confer with the county COM
mittee
A number of the committee were
questioned today about what was
done last night, but the strictest Sc
crecy is maintained, and no definite
information could be secured today.
1t is understood, however, that the
battery is to become the republican
organization in this city and will
hereafter be the backbone of the par
ty in local affairs.
Battery Will Meet Tonight.
A meeting of the Garfield Battery
is to be held tonight, at which time
the committee will make a report.
This bears out the story in the
NEWS two weeks ago telling of the
idea taking form to raise the Gar
field Battery to more prominent
place in the republican party in, this
city, and what is thought to be the
first step towards the impending de.
posing of George J. Haney as leader
here,
The suggestion that the battery
take more active hand was broached
and discussed at conference held
little over fortnight ago, but Mr..
Haney declared at the time that there
was no political significance in the
fact.
While the matter is, as far as the
public Is concerned, in hazy state,
1t Is understood that the ideas in
clude plans to make the battery an
active all-year-round organization
with club rooms and attractions.

LADIES GAVE
MUSIC TREAT
Cleveland Orchestra and Talent
ed SOIOists Pleased Capacity
Of High School Auditorium.
FREDERICK IRVING SANG WELL.
Orchestra Pleased Greatly in operate
Selections from Lohengrin and
Tannhauser and i'm Characteristic
and Descriptive Compositions.
Trombone and Cornet Solos Fea-
ture, as Was Also Brass Quartet.

The Cleveland Ladies orchestra
appeared in concert at the high school
last night and pleased the large audi
ence which exceeded the seating ca
jacity of the auditorium.
The orchestra is made up OF nine
young ladies, each one an artist, and
is under the direction of Alfred
Metzdorf, himself a talented violin
soloist. The program covered wide
range and the musicians never once
failed to bring out every possible
feature and strong point in a selec-
tion. In operatic renditions and in
comic opera music and characteris-
tic pieces the orchestra showed to
unvarying advantage. The solos
also won deserved appreciation.
Frederick Irving, bass-baritone
formerly associated with Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink, was the vocal soloist
His rToreador's Love Song" by Cou-
chois, was especially good and three
successive encores followed it.
The opening number by the orches-
ira was 'The Merry Wives of Wind
sor," Nicolai, AND it served to i'm
press the audience with the capabil
tiles of the young women players.
They gave popular selection for an
encore.
A selection from Dolly Dollars"
by the orcrestra followed.
A cornet solo, "The Honeysuckle
Polka" Casey, was played by Miss
Mora Harsha, and an encore was in
evitable, so spontaneous was the ap-
plause.
Frederick Irving scored with his
first solo, Dawn" by D'Hardelot.
The orchestra's "Baby Parade" a
characteristic by Pryor, was delight
full and laughable, the sound of rat
ties, horns and baby cries being clev-
erly introduced.
In the MILL descriptive, by Gill
lett, won great favor, and the sound
of water and the mill wheel was given
most naturally.
Miss Ralphena Parsons played Pry-
oIss Loves Enchantment'' and two
responses were asked and given as
Miss Parsons is a trombonist of much
ability.
Probably the best thing the or
chestra did was the selection from
Wagner's famous opera 'Lohengrin, .
beginning with the introduction to the
third act, following with Elsa's re-
ply to Otruda's warning; the love
song, swan song, bridal chorus,
Kings prayer and chorus and Song
of Joy and chorus of Victory.
Alfred Metzdorf played a violin
solo, "Polonaise Brilliante," Weni-
owski, whose splendid rendition re-
ceived rapturous applause.
A selection from Verdis ''Rigo-
letto" was given by brass quartet,
the Misses Harsha, Parsons, Ru-
precht and Haise.
1.-THE Toreador's Love Song" by
Mr.. Irving was followed by the clos
ing selection by the orchestra the
march from Tannhauser.s
This was the last entertainment in
the teachers course. Professor
Frank H. Lloyd expressed the asso-
cations deep appreciation of the pat
ronage at the three high class affairs
and said that another course later is
possibility.

The Gaffney Ledger last. week had

The Gaffney Ledger last. week had a
strong editorial in reference to the game
of "hold up" played by the hotel and
restaurant keepers of Columbia during
Fair Week. There was local item in
this newspaper in regard to the same
thing. The editor did not 60 to the Fair.
he stayed at home and worked in order
to let the printers get off. They reported
to US that they were most outrageously
held up by the boarding house and restau'
rant keepers and others. In fact they
stated the only thing to be had in Colum
bia at a reasonable price was fruit. We
have not attended State Fair in years
as at this time of the year we are too
busy to 90 away on pleasure trips, but
the young men who told US of these mat.
ters are absolutely reliable. If Columbia
wants the people of the State to visit her,
this practice of extortion must be stopped,
for most assuredly we will adyise the
citizens of Bamberg to stay away next
year unless there is some reasonable as
surance that they will not be charged
outrageous prices for everything.

We see that some of the leading
negroes of the State have planned for a
conference on the race issue to be held in
Columbia in January, at which Governor
Heyward and other prominent white
men are to make addresses. We fail to
see where such conference can do any
good. We are not concerned about what
the leading negroes say but what they do,
and white people should take no notice
of any such conferences. Let the negro
"make good" in regard to industry and
soberness, and let him be law. abiding
and there will be no occasion for any
complaint at his treatment in the South.
