A Snow Owl Is Also Exhibit
ed To The Public
Prizes Are Given Away Each
Day OF The Show
A List Of The Numbers
Drawn On Wednesday

The Pet Stock and Poultry show
was at its height Thursday morning
after nearly all of the entries had
been made and everything was in
place for exhibition. In addition to
the chickens and few dogs that
were in evidence Wednesday, there
are now close to one hundred dogs
of all sizes, color and description,
from poodles to St Bernards.
The beautiful snow owl belonging
to Mr.. Charles Sharp is on exhibi-
tion and If the public has any wish
to see this rare bird, this will prob
ably be their only opportunity.
There is also on exhibition, a fine
South American parrot. This parrot
is unlike most birds Of its species.
The bill is much different, very long
and is straighter than the common
parrot. The tail Is probably yard
long, which is sometimes exceptional
for a bird of any kind.
Turkeys, pigeons and various
other fowls can be seen an 1t Is
needless to say that they are very
beautiful and exceptionally fine
birds
The attendance at the show was
better Thursday than on Wednesday,
fact which is probably due to the
realization OF the public that the
1910 show is something really ex-
traordinary and cannot well be COM
pared with the previous shows given
in Knox county. The Cleveland and
Newark shows were not as good as
this one, not nearly as many entries
being made In either one of them.

BALLOTS
Being Cast By The Electors
In Great Britain

London, Jan. 13.-The 7,705,717
electors in Great Britain today begin
to express their political preferences
and on their verdict depends the fate
Of the Liberal Government and other
thlngs that are regarded as of even
greater Importance such as the pro-
posed curtailment of the power of
the House of Lords and the future
tariff policy of the nation. The pol
itical struggle which originated last
November with the unprecedented ac
tion of the House of Lords In refus-
ing its consent to the government
budget is in many respects the most
interesting In the parliamentary lis
tory of England.
Although this was the first polling
day, the battle of the ballots will not
be on in earnest until Saturday
when the voting is to take place in
regarded as the vortex of the strug-
gle. The metropolis sends sixty-two
members to the House of Commons,
AB consequence the question of che
hour is, will London vote Tory or
Liberal? The Tories have waged a
campaign Of unprecedented vigor and
outside the centers of radical politics
1t appears to be generally felt that
London will vote for tariff reform
and the House of Lords.
In addition to London several
other large centers are 60 have their
elections Saturday. Among those are
Manchester and Stafford, which in
1906, under Winston Churchlll's per-
sonal championship gave radicalism
tremendous start. BY the first of
the week 1t Is believed that the gem
eral result will be pretty clear,
though the whole of the seven and
half million electors will not finish
polling until two weeks hence.
The political prophets are busy es-
timating the likely losses and gains,
though there was never an eletlon, IL
Is probable, In which such estimates
were more likely to be upset.
A point on which most politicians
are agreed Is that the Unionists
stand good show OF materially i'm
proving their position. They cannot
fail to have many victories, and
they are likely to have few defeats,
The question is whether they will
make sufficient gains to place them
In power.
present the state of parties is
as follows: Minlsterialists 1856; La
Dor members. S4; Nationalists ,S3;
rnlonists, 16S. AS the Nationalist
and Labor members are regarded as
the allies OF the government, the
Unionists In order to obtain n bare
majority, must win as many NOR,
seats as they now hold, namely, 6S

FE srHIZER PLANT IN SIGHT.
Southern Cotton Oil Co. to Erect
Factory Here Right Away.

In keeping with our suggestion
last week as to potential enterprises
to be established here by the South
ern Cotton Oil Company, resulting
from it's acquiring the local oil mill
property, we are now at liberty to
state that in addition to the cotton
ginneries to be operated, the new
owners of the oil mill plant have de-
cided to put in a fertilizer factory
here in the near future. Just what
will be the size and capacity of the
fertilizer factory cannot be deter
mined until the promoters have
made a thorough investigation of
the situation with regard to the To-
cal demand for their manufactured
product as we'll as the amount of
the raw material available at first
hand.
The capital stocks of the different
fertilizer plants now operated in
this State differ widely according to
local conditions, varying from $4,000
to $4,000 up to 100000. 1t is
hardly probable that the plant to be
operated here will exceed $20,000 or
S25, 900, but new enterprise even of
that size will be distinct advantage
to the town from an industrial and
commercial standpoint.
1t is highly probable that should
the fertilizer plant prove profitable
the oil mill will be reconstructed
and put in operation. The Southern
Cotton Oil Company has abundant
financial resources and is not afraid
to invest any amount of money in a
dividend-earning enterprise.
In this connection, to give credit
where justly deserved, the fact that
the ginning situation is relieved, that
the fertilizer plant is in sight and
another oil mill a strong probability,
is due primarily to the efforts of Mr.
L P Kinder, the local representative
of the Southern Cotton Oil Company.

ALDERNIANIC NOMINATIONS BY
 DISTRICTS.
BOTH SHOULD BE REJECTED.

Is it to be a walk-over for Mclean? According to the estimates of his lead ing journalistic supporter, the Courant, he has already captured "A Republican senatorial and representative nomina- tions out of the total 293 nominations to be made, while only 34 are credited to BuIkeley, with 1855 yet to come-that is, the proportion in 'taccomp1ishe led facts" is somewhat more than to 1.
 Were it not that well known agents of the railroad company have been and still are working for Mclean, among them Roraback of Canaan and King of Bridgeport, we should rejoice over the favorable chances of Mclean, but if his success simply means another railroad vote in the U. s. Senate, as seems to be the fact, there is no req son for popular rejoicing.
 The Rulkeley candidacy stands no better. It represents one of the great interests of the country. the insurance interest, and judging by his votes up on the tariff bill when he followed the lead of Boss Aldrich with rigid fidelity his candidacy represents, also the big industrial trusts which fatten inor- dinately upon tarifT-given privileges, increase the cost of living almost be- yond the earning power of the aver age working man, and manufacture multi 1niiionaires by scores or hun dreds
 We find hut slight choice between the two candidates Mclean and Bulkeley. Hasn't the Republican par ty any better timber-raen who would not owe success to any special inter est. and who would act for the people alone? Surely it has such timber; if not, or if unwilling or unable to make use of it, the party should be crushed at the polls as unworthy of continued existence.
 How can these two representatives of special interests instead of the peo- pie be rejected? Simply by defeating legislative candidates pledged to their support at the polls on Nov. sth.

GETS HIS DIVORCE
H. C. Carpenter, Seymour Manu' facturer, Wins Hard
 Fought Case

New Haven, Oct. 14.-The bitterly contested divorce case brought by Hamilton c. Carpenter, superintend- ent of the Seymour Manufacturing company, against his wife, Mrs. Hat tie Frances Carpenter, in which the Seymour man alleged that the woman was guilty of improper conduct with pr. Grover c. Atwood, a local Veter- mary surgeon, has resulted in a de- cision being rendered in favor of the plaintiff by Judge Joel N. Reed, who heard the case in a special session of the superior court.
 Mrs. Carpenter, a striking looking woman, was defended by Attorney C. s. Hamilton, who maintained in his arguments that Carpenter had fixed the job to do it.'' Attorney Hamil- ton, regarding this phase of the case, cited the Crippen case, claiming that Crippen was an illustration of what a man will do who is determined to rid himself of his wife.

ARMORY ON THE WATER FRONT IS
 DESIRED HERE

Major Louis J. Herman, Capt. Geo. E. Hawes and other officers of the To- cal militia are enthusiastically push ing a plan to sell the present armory on Main street and build a new one, at the end of Seaview avenue, or at the point of land near the Locomo- bile conpany's place at Seaside park, Or at some other easily accessible spot on the water front, the idea being to provide a place on the water front where it will be possible for the mem bers of the Coast artillery to obtain some real practice.
 1O-inch gun which is now in Bridge port in readiness to be installed in the armory, for the purpose of practice The gun is complete in every part1- cuIar, except that it is made of some sort of light metal
 In the arrnory the new gun will oc- cupy so much room that it will not be possible for two companies to drill at a time, whereas if placed in a new armory it could easily be ar ranged to face the water to give the men some real practice, and at the same time be out of the way in the drill room.
 Furthermore the militia could op- tain real drill in operating a search light by training it on vessels along the sound, instead of turning 1t on an imaginary boat the distance or the armory as at present.
 The plan presents many other des1r- able features, and government oI11cerS who have been approached approve of that at the next session of the gen eral assembly a definite move will be made towards the erection of a. new armory here.
