PASSENGERS HAVE
 MARROW ESCAPE

Montgomery December. 1s.-Wheat ap- pears to nave been miraculous escape of a passenger train from demolition oc- cured at o'clock this morning. West bound vestibuie train No. 57 of the Allan tic Coast Line was derailed 12s miles south of Montgomery. According to reports re- eeved at the office of the superintendent here, seven out of eight cars left the rails, but none of them careened and no one was injured.
 The engine remained on the track. The accident was caused by the wheel of the express car working loose. The fact that the train was on an up hill grade at the time and was proceeding at moderate speed probably ayerted a calamity.

SOUTHERN FOWLS
 TAKE MANY PRIZES
At Big Poultry Show Held in Atlanta During the
 Past Week

Atlanta, December 1S.-(Special 1.-The big southern poultry show not only proved of benefit to the people of the south from an educative standpoint, showing what the south has accom- plished in the way of raising poultry, but it also turned out to be immensely profitable to the many exhibitors from north. west, south and east. %
 Totallng up the sales made during the week of the exhibition it will be found that in the neighborhood of $i00000 changed hands, at the same time that chickens secured new owners.
 It proved so wonderfully successful that there is no doubt of show being pulled off again in 1912. The only oues- ton before the promoters is how big to make 1t.
 It is certain that it will be as big as the one of this year and in all probability a much more important event. It is pointed out that the Madison Square Garden in New York, where the biggest shows of them all are held, will be pulled down this year. and there are many of the promoters who are of the opinion that the show will be moved from that city to another. In that case it is very likely that Atlanta will make bid.
 Another most encouraging sign about the chicken show was the splendid showing made by the southern birds.
 There were 4OOO birds in the show; they came from 25 states. and were the of- ferings of about 325 individual owners and farms.
 Yet of all the many prizes offered. seven of the eight sweepstakes went to southern chickens-a fair proportion of the winners being from Georgia.
 To show that the show is only the beginning in a way of the breeding of finer poultry in Georgia than ever be- fore, however, it is only necessary to call attention to the many purchases of prize winners.
 Asa Candler, Jr., led in the matter of buying high priced chickens His total expenditures came very close to S5000 and he paid the highest price for a single bird. He bought the offerings in the show of William Cook Bros. of Scotch Plains, N J.
 For one Orpington scockerel he paid the immense sum of $2000 In addition to this cock, he purchased a pen of Black Orpingtons, paying S1200 for five birds. He Followed this with the purchase of a pen of five White Orpingtons for which he paid the sum of $20O each
 J. J. Wingert, proprietor of a farm at Charlottesville, Ind, sold all the birds he had on hand that he cared to dispose of. He brought to Atlanta 65 Indian Runner ducks, many of them prize win ners in many of the most noted shows of the country Before he had been here three days he had disposed of all the ducks that he cared to let go He also sold large number of white Lang hangs. His total was in the neighbor- hood of $50O0.
