County Clerk F. d. f. Stoves office
yesterday, and they also designated the
towns from which petit jurors were to
be drawn for the April term of county
court, the names being drawn by Sheriff

good number of men signed the petition
asking for the appointment of license
commissioners and suggested that Her.

appointed. The assistant judges named
those two and in addition E. j. Howe.
Indications are that somebody will APP
ply to the commissioners for a license.
The only other license town in the
county this year is Somerset, but the
assistant judges understand that no

Georgia Poultry Association Sets Its Dates
EARLIER SHOW THIS YEAR,

The poultry show situation in Allan
ia is cOmplicated-and unfortunate.
Out Of an unnecessary and illogical
situation last year there came two
poultry shows-more than Atlanta
needed and more than was for the
good of the poultry industry in the
city and in the state
Haif-hearted efforts are being made
now to smooth out this situation. If
they are sincere. they may be success
full. But come what may the Georgia
Poultry association viii mold it's show
October p to November > in the At
lanta Auditorium Armory
Here is what has been done already
toward giving this show:
Officers of the association have been
elected.
Dates have been set.
The Auditorium has been definitely
contracted for.
Judges have been eed.
Coops for 5000 birds are owned by
the association.
Printed notices have been issued and
sent broadcast over the country.
The show has been virtually under
written.
Nothing can head it now And on Oc-
tober - to November ; the Georgia
Poultry association. the original show
organization of Atlanta. will give its
ninth annual show.
The G. p. A. Means Business.
The Georgia Poultry associs alton is no
fly by night concern. 1t has been Civ
ing shows in Atlanta for nine years. 1t
has financed shows in Atlanta when
the thing seemed hopeless and when it
was necessary for the promoters to dig
down in their pockets after each show
to pay the losses But the losses have
been paid The Georgia Poultry asso-
citation does not owe a debt In the
world. 1t gave Atlanta its first big
show two years ago. 1t gave another
corking good one last year 1t will give
a still better one this fall.
The Georgia Poultry association is no
small organization. 1t numbers stock
holders all over the state 1t has as
it's officers H. G. Hastings. president
EWell Gay, first vice president; Julian
McCamy. second vice president; DIR. r.

try show business as side line for
nine years. He is known all over the
South as an expert. and the shows that
have been given under his management
have all been successful.
Secretary Harwen attended the re-
cent meeting of the American Poultry
association in Nashville and solicited
entries there from breeders of fine birds
all over America He met with graft
flying success and expects to have here
during the week of october 27-Novem-
Der some of the finest show birds in
all America. He has been promised
entries from the South and from other
sections as we'll and will be able to
give a show that will be virtually ma
tional in scope.
Will Be the Quality Show"
No effort ever has been made or ever
will be made by this organization to
attract entries of mediocre birds. 1t
realizes only too we'll that quality is
what counts in a poultry show. Last
year. in the face of competition the
Georgia Poultry association went out
after the highest class of birds only.
Every man who entered a bird was re-
quired to pay the regular entry fee.
No special inducements were offered.
1t was desired to make a show that was
representative and the effort was "a
success.
So was the show a success 1t was
hurt by bad weather and by the late
ness of the dates. But it was a cork
ing good exhibition of Southern poultry.
There were no clap-trap side lines, no
phony features. nothing bat q good,
straight poultry show, with birds of
class on exhibition in every coop.
on this same basis, that of giving
real poultry show, the coming exhibit
ton will be run.
The Judges Are Experts.
Three judges. known to poultrymen
of all America. have been secured. They
are F. J. Marshall, w. c. Pierce and F.
H. Shellabarger. They are men of the
highest standing and of the broadcast
experience. 1t would have been posi-
BILE to sacrifice quality judging" for
quantity judging" and to have secured
more men. But three good judges are
enough to handle any show which was
over given in the South especially
when they are accorded the expert as
sistance that is given to every man who
passes on the fowls at a G. P. A show.
The prizes this year will be particu-
larry numerous and valuable. In addi-
ton to the regular cash prizes. there
will be a multitude of special cash
prizes and big showing of cups and
other valuable trophies.

Then you have only the Democratic

party Well, in the first place, 1t is rath-
er a fine discipline to have been on the

trusted the government of the United
States to the Democratic party because
the Democratic party has been opposed
all these years to the things that the Re-
publican leaders were doing Is not that
a statement of mere fact? Haven't we
been attacking them and opposing them
all these years, and proposing programs
that once looked radical and now look
reasonable? We haven't just begun being
progressive. We have been progressive
for sixteen years, and we saw the year
1912 half a generation before it came.
Are you going to give us no credit for
vision? Do you not think it counts for
something to stay out in the cold on
conviction for sixteen years?
