if he had statement concerning his
killing of P. A. Wood his step-father.

noon. The prisoner, a little more than
80 years old, had a wild stare in his
eyes, but conversed intelligently and
felt no remorse over the deed that has
shocked all Alabama.

claim on $50 acres Of land in question.

PLANS FUNDFOR
WAR ON PLAGUE

That Atlanta loses $10,00OO0O year
through tuberculosis was the startling
statement of Alex Smith, Atlanta attor-
ney, at a luncheon of business leaders
at the Piedmont hotel. II. NJ.
Willet, chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce committee on turberculo-
sis and of the finance committee of
the association, declared that eight pa
tients died in each week and 400 a
year.
After the luncheon Mr.. Willet ap-
pointed a representative committee TO
raise $4,000 to maintain the association
in operating expenses. When this was
raised, said Mr.. Willet, the sale Of .
100000 tuberculosis stamps at Christ
mas, 100000 in the state and half
million in Atlanta, would make money
matters easier.

POULTRY LOVERS
CROWD SHOW IN
LAST Z DAYS
Heavy Trading Is Expected by
Exhibitors Until Doors Close
Saturday Night.

Less than two days of Atlanta's poul-
try. show remain
The best ten-cent show ever offered
to the poultry lovers of America will
pass into history Saturday night. And
from the present time until taps are
sounded tomorrow night at 10 o'clock
the Auditorium will be crowded with
poultry enthusiasts.
The show is proving a tremendous
success. So many flrst-class birds are
exhibited, and there are so many eX
ceptional features that the affair has
drawn like a magnet-and will draw
until the final curtain drops on the
greatest exhibit of high-class birds that
the South has ever known.
Tomorrow. of course will be the big
day AS long as daylight lasts. it will
be "children's day" The young folks
will be out Of school, and they are sure
to take advantage of the cut price and
the many features to see the show.
Bantam Class Strong.
There is much in the present exhibit
ton that is of interest to youngsters
IN the first place, it is an exceptionally
strong exhibit of bantams and these
tiny specimens are always pleasing to
the youngsters. Then the Briarcliff eX-
hibit of bears, monkeys, storlls, cranes
pheasants, and SUCH is exceptionally
attractive to the young folks.
Saturday night will witness the big
wind up--and lot of trading. for there
are many big deals hanging fire.
The show has been a good one for
sales Everybody who has had any
good stock to offer has been able to
dispose of it--and the prices have been
good. For instance. Asa G. Gambler.
II, gave $3.50 to Owen Farm for their
first prize winning pen of White Wyan-
dottes, and this same concern has made
two other flrst-class sales. the details
of which have not been announced
Other concerns of less note have done a
correspondingly good business. The or
ders for eggs have been exceptionally
heavy. due to the fact that last year
was a wretchedly poor Matching sea-
son and that breeders and poultry rails
ers in general are way behind on young
stock and are determined to make an
early start toward getting it back.
Dark Bird Wins.
one of the remarkable condolences
of the show now going on is that a
firm whose entry was unheralded turn
ed up with the best bird. This firm was
the Atlanta Poultry Yards. 5S2 West
Peaclltree street and the bird in ques
ton was 4 Barred Plymouth Rock cock
they entered. In 1911 this bird took a
first at Madison Square Garden in the
cocllerei class. And this year in Atlanta
it not only took first but it won the
prize for the best cock bird in the show,
and if there had been a prize of any
sort for the very best single bird in
the show, this one would have copied.
Judge W G. Pierce, of Carmel Ind,
world famous expert, gave it as his
opinion that the bird was one of the
best Barred Plymouth Rocks in the
world. and that it was worth $1,000 if
il was worth penny.

that Mr. Lee and the vice president
managed to get together in their politi-
cal views, but otherwise they generally
were in perfect and pleasing accord.
Mr.. Sherman was, perhaps, especially
while member of the house, the most
popular man in congress. And he was
popular not altogether in a light or
hail-fellow- well-met kind of way-ev-
erybody cordially liked him, respected
him, and esteemed him.
There never was a more democratic
vice president Of the United States
there hardly could have been-than
James Schoolcraft Sherman.
He assumed no airs; he never chang
ed because of hts elevation to the sec
ond highest office in the land. He had
a rare sense of humor, anyway-and
IN the activity of the man politically he
prohted much because of the saving
grace Of it. He never took politics too
seriously. However high his brow may
have been, he never suspected 1t of be-
ing any fraction of an inch higher than
it really was.
Mr. Brantley, Mr.. Adamson and Mr.
HardWlck. as well as Mr.. Lee enjoyed
a large measure of Mr. Sherman's
friendship and regard

The president frequently visits in Au-

He is fond of golf and no links are
finer than those he is invited to use in
Augusta.
He likes to meet people on friendly
human sort of plane-he delights to
mix and mingle with men and women
who do not forget he is the president
yet never seem to remember it. He
particularly enjoys the gentle, refined
atmosphere of Augusta.

streets of Augusta like any other citi-

The very happiest man in Georgia,
perhaps, when Wilson has been de-
clared winner next Tuesday night,
will be Editor Pleasant A. Stovall. of
The Savannah Press.
For months Stovall has walked, talk

Never frowned the clouds 30 low and

faithful that behind the clouds the sun
still was shining, and that the silver
lining attaching was the real article,

Wilson lived much Of his young man
hood in Savannah. and Stovall knew
him then and there as a young man
much after Stovall's own heart-afFable,

Stovall thinkE 1t would be an ever

to fail in any part of its duty to Wilson

SIXTY.FIvE CENT BUTTER7

A COPY Of an old price list printed in The Evening World yes
~ tcrday showed that in 1889 butter sold here at seven to
. . eight cents a pound. Now il is forty-two cents Wholesale
for the best grades and may reach fifty, which means that a pound
viii cost the consumer about ~s1ty-fvc cents. Spring pasturage will
bring down the price somewhat, but there may be n adequate relief
until the first year OF the Brennan cold storage law is up, June Is,
when all Of last years butter must come out.
Meanwhile agitation ia churning over oleomargarinc This but
tor substitute uncdorcd is taxed one.quarter Of a cent a pound, but
oswhen artfcally colored ten cents a pound. 1t was taxed to protect
\ the farmer from fraudulent competition, but it has operated in n time
OF high prices to shut the door Of relief for the consumer. Like many
another agent to avert fraud, il has bred an injustice, OF which the
a. Elgn Butter Trust" IL il be q trust, has benefit. Unhapply, fraud
~'has gone Of. Makers have been able, without using coloring matter,
to get a product yellow as butter, and interruptions groccrs have sold
. it as such. The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue declares that the
,louble standard Of taxation is corrupting groccrs and Fleeing the

Properly made, il is a nutritious ss butter. 1t keeps better and does
mot become rancid. Its constituents are almost identical-the fate

widely consumed abroad. II il the result of a prize offered by M

81 Congress must revise the tai on oleomargarfnc; 80 much is GER
ain. The loopholes for fraud must be closed. In doing 30, the
mounting price Of butter and the palatablity and durability Of this
