-Cipriano Castro, the noted EXPIRES
ident of Venezuela, is giving some
concern to that government, more be-
cause the Venezuelans do not know
what he is doing than because they are
aware of his movements. The govern
ment is anxious to learn his where
abouts. as it has been informed that
Castro is planning a revolution against
the administration of President Gomez.
The sudden and complete disappear
ance of Castro from Las Palmas. Ca
nary Islands and his reported SAILING,
ostensibly for Havana, have caused
some anxiety, although the govern
ment announces that it is fully pre-
pared to meet any armed invasion.
AT Washington the latest advices OF the
state department indicate that Castro
is still in Lisbon. The department Is
closely watching his movements ana
relying upon the cooperation OF other
governments to prevent his return 10
Venezuela. When his present ACTIVITY
was first rumored it was reported that
he was bound for Cuba to operate
against Venezuela. The department
communicated with the Cuban govern
ment and received assurances that any
such designs would be quickly lrus-
trated.

- Columbia State: The judgment
Of the Lee county court has been af-
firmed by the supreme court in the
case of the State against Lena Smith.
The opinion is by Associate Justice
Woods The appeal is from an order
of Judge Prince, quashing an indict-
ment for assault and battery with In
tent to kill, on the ground that L. A.
Morse, clerk Of the court Of common
pleas and general sessions for Lee
county, and ex-officio one of the jury
commissioners who had drawn the
grand jury presenting the indictment,
was an uncle Of the wife Of the prose-
cutor. The circuit judge took the po-
sition that it was in the exercise OF
his discretion that he quashed the In
dictment because Of the relationship,
and he is upheld by the supreme
court. THE circuit court" says As
sociate Justice Woods, thus clearly
expressed that 1t was in the exercise
of his discretion that he quashed the
indictment because Of the relation

THE VALUE OF THE HEN.
Years Egg Crop Will Bring A Billion
Dollars

A billion dollars is set down as the
value of the poultry and egg products
of the United States for the present
year, as estimated by the 1911 cat
alogue Of an incubator company, says
the New York Sun.
The United States census of 1900
gave the value Of poultry and eggs at
$3.50, ,6S6,429. In 1905, according to the
ninth annual report Of Secretary Will
son, of the department Of agriculture,
poultry products had climbed to
place Of more than half a billion dol
lars in value" so that the farmers
hen now competed with wheat for pre-
cedence; while at a banquet given by
the Washington Poultry association In
December, 1909, Secretary Wilson said
that the poultry and egg products of
the United States in 1908 amounted to
s7OO, ,OOO,O 900, and were second only ia
the corn crop in value"
The catalogue goes on to say that to-
tails supplied by the government show
that in 1905, 1906 and 1907, the in
crease was so per cent more rapid than
from 1900 to 1904, and IF this rate of
more rapid Increase was kept up for
1908, 1909 and 1910, as no doubt 1t
was, then it Is clear that in 1911 we
shall have a billion dollar poultry in
dustry, and with a good margin to
spare"
Regular poultry courses are nov
taught at more than twenty agricul-
tural colleges of the United States I'd
Canada, and graduates in poultry hus :
bandry are now receiving diplomas at
the rate of several thousand each year.
These graduates are returning to the
farms of the country to raise more an
better poultry by improved methods, or
they are taking places as professional
poultrymen or starting plants of their
own.
1t is stated that probably more ard
better poultry, especially dressed poul-
try, is delivered daily at Faneuil and
Quincy markets, Boston, than to any
other market place in the world. New
England was the cradle of the poultry
industry in North America and the
poultry growers of that section have
fully held their own both in the
science of breeding exhibition quality
and in the production of prime table
poultry, including broilers, capons and
the famous South Shore soft roasters.
These soft roasters retail at $3.50 to S4
each at weights of six to ten pounds,
dressed"
Hundreds of carloads of live poultry
are shipped east from Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and other mid
west states More than 500 regular
poultry cars are now employed in this
service. Ten years ago the number
of these cars was less than 200.
More than 1000 poultry exhibitions
are now held each year in the United

TRAVELLING TOO FAST.
Some People Say swearinsen Charged
Graft When He Didn't,

Graft When He Didn't.
The following editorial article from
the Anderson Daily Mail is chiefly re-
markable for the number of misstate-
ments it contains:
THE Charleston News and Courier
has nominated Superintendent of Edu-
cation Swearingen for the governor
ship. We do not take to this nomina-
ton very enthusiastically. Mr.. Swear
ingen Is the right man in the right
place now, and II he can curb his in.-
pulsiveness, and refrain from charging
graft where graft doubtless never ex-
listed, we would favor retaining him as
superintendent Of education"
The News and Courier has not NOM
mated Mr.. Swearingen for the COVER
norship. 1t did say that It agreed
with The Yorkville Enquirer that II
Mr.. Swearingen were a candidate for
the governorship he would receive a
handsome vote, and that II elected he
would make a good governor, but 1t
added that 1t thought that Mr.. Swear
ingen In his present position had am
pie opportunity for the time being to
render effective public service Mr..
Swearingen himself has stated. ac-
cording to a report printed in the CO.
lumbia Record, that he does not intend
to become q candidate for governor.
Nevertheless, 1t Is entirely possible
that he will be considered In this con-
nection in case Governor Blease offers
for reelection.
AS to whether the News and Courier
would then consider 1t a duty to urge
a matter which the future must deter
mine. A number Of gentlemen are
being spoken Of in this connection
Major Richards, and the Hon. T. G.
Mcleod, and Lieutenant Governor
Smith and others-but 1t Is entirely too
early as yet to give any serious atten-
tion to the selection of q candidate.
We hope, however, that IL Governor
Blease is in the field that those who
desire his defeat will unite upon a
single individual to oppose him. Surely
the people Of South Carolina ought TO
have learned by this time the folly Of
splitting up the decent and enlightened
vote among several candidates. This
has been done repeatedly, with conse.
quences always regrettable and some.
times disastrous.
AS for the other point made by the
Mail, 1t only remains to be said that
Mr.. Swearingen has distinctly dis
claimed any charge Of corruption. The
allegation he has brought against the
board Is that in awarding the text
book contracts the board displayed IAN
unjustifiable disregard of property
rights" This allegation has not been
preferred either Historically or thea
trically, as the Mail suggests. Mr..
Swearingen has shown that about IS
per cent of the books In use in the
public schools have been changed, and
that this change will involve a cost to
the public school patrons Of fully $780,
00O. He contends that this revolutions
ary action was unwarranted. 1t would
certainly seem so.
Slurs at Mr.. Swearingen In the cir
cumstances are distinctly out Of place.
He Is one of our most capable public
officers and is trying to do his duty,
however disagreeable 1t may be-

States, including fall fairs and win

States, including fall fairs and win
ter poultry shows. The different
branches of poultry raising as a busl-
ness include the operation Of broiler
and roaster plants, eggs farms, duck
ranches, the sale of day old chicks,
custom Matching, the work of fanciers
and so on, the successful fancler being
now known more generally as a poul-
try breeder, because Of the increase in
the commercial value of his work.
There are now thousands Of expe-
rienced poultrymen in the United
States and Canada who make a reg
ular business Of breeding standard bred
fowls, their annual production varying
from small fiocks to thousands of birds.
Prices obtained for this stock range
from 81 to 500 head, with occasion
al sales reaching such figures as 5000,
5000, $500, $500, $1,000 and even $500
for extra choice breeding stock or ex-
hibition specimens. Similar prices
now prevail in England also for excep-
tional quality.
Eggs for Matching from standard
bred fowls now sell freely at prices
that would have been declared impos-
sible twenty or thirty years ago. Gus
tomary prices range from 81 for thir-
teen eggs to as much as SO an egg.
One poultryman sold 1854 eggs last
winter and spring for $9,06S, at the
rate of 81 an egg. Some specialists of
popular varieties now receive from 81
to IS each for Matching eggs from
choicest specimens, and the demand
for them is greater than the supply.
Day old chicks now sell In great num-
bers at from 10 cents to IS each, ac-
cording to the quality Of the parent
stock.
But 1t is still the poultry produced
annually on the farms of the United
States that form the solid foundation
of the country's great poultry busi-
ness. The poultry fancier, so called,
has done and will continue to do a
great work, but the farmer Is the ma
tural poultryman, and it is on the
farms of America that the thousands
of tons Of poultry meat are produced
and the millions of dozens of eggs are
laid each year. 1t is the farmer and
his everyday helpers who are sending
to market the trainloads Of poultry and
egg products, it is the farm product
that must be considered in tabulating
the immense figures that pile up into
a billion dollar poultry industry.
