BIG POULTRYSHOW
Southeastern Association to
Have Great Exhibition in Char
lotte-Attractive Premium List.

Charlotte, y. c., December 2l.--Ihe
annual show OF the Southeastern
Poultry Association will be held IN
this city January 10th to the 10th in
elusive. 1t is the purpose OF the man
agement to make this one OF the great
est poultry exhibitions ever held IN
the South, and present indications
point to d gratifying success the
secretary is being overrun with let
tiers of inquiry and requests FOR
premium lists, which have been re-
ceived from the printers and are De-
ing sent all over the country. Be
sides the regular cash premiums Of
fered by the association, there are
numbers of costly special premiums
offered By other organizations. cor
porations. firms and individuals. These
latter consist mainly of silver cups.
gold metals, gold coin, watches, etc.
varying In value from SO 10 $50.
The lateness of the date OF the eX-
position and the high value OF the
premiums guarantee the presence at
the show of the leading winners at
the big shows held previously at other
points.
An automobile ride, a banquet at the
Hotel Selwyn, a reception and other
social functions that have been ar
ranged will go far TO make the &C.
casion one long to be remembered
by visiting poultrymen.

VICTORY FOR COLUMBIANs.
Hesperian Debnters Defeated for First !
Time in SIX Years.

Especial 10 Inc Ii!neS-DlSpalCn.
Durham. " c., December Civic
tory, untrammele-i. came Thursday
night on the eve of the holiday recess
TO the Columbian Literary Society OF
Trinity College in its triumph over the
Hesperian debaters in the nineteenth
annual intersociety debate. 1t was the
first time in six years that the. Column
bians have known what il is TO come
out on top in one OF these annual con-
tests
The judges were required to sit in
different parts of the hall, and were
not given an opportunity to discuss
the decision at all. Each man of the
three rendered his verdict in writing
and handed It in in sealed envelope
The question debated was as fol-
lows: Granted the desirability Of lin
iting the power of the judiciary. Re
solved, That the doctrine of recall of
judicial decisions offers a better plan
than the recall of the judges. consti-
tutionality waived in both cases
The Hesperians upheld the affirma-
tive side of the question. and were rep
resented by B. W. Ruark. of southport;
II. 3. Hill. OF Sunbury, and James
Cannon. Jr.. Of Yaynesville. The vic
torious Coiumbians upheld the mega
tive side OF the query, and were repre-
sented by Arnold W. Byrd. of Mount
olive. B. T. Dalton. of Rutherford Col
Iege. and W F. Starnes. OF Monroe.
Each spe aker was allowed ten minutes
in his first speech ard five minutes in
the rejoinder.
The Judges were Superintendent VI.

A J. Field. of Raleigh. private secre-
tary to Governor ". w. Kitchin, and

moves and has his being and does
some good farming in New Kent
County, between Richmond and West
Point. tells of tract of land Of about
eleven acres OIL which he has been
doing some experimenting and SOIL
testing. \ few years ago. before ne
became an experimental. he made less
than ten bushels of corn TO the acre.
Mr.. Richardson decided to work the
crop rotation racket as taught by the
farm demonstrators. and on these
eleven acres he put in clover and
made two cuttings. and the next year
ne made two crops OF peas and spent
= few dollars in using lime ground
or mashed from his own mari bed.
The third year he seeded corn ard
his yield was fifty-hve bushels to the
acre. The German clover and the peas
were largely instrumental in bringing
about this result. but il may be said
that the lime made from the home
mari bed in conjunction with the
legumes did the work.
Clarence McGeorge. OF King ana
Queen County. has been experimenting
on his lands near Burlington along the
same lines and with practically the
same results. Others have done like
wise. These are enough, however. TO
show what is being done and what can
be done.
BY the way. this mari bank is part
of the larger bank that extends almost
continuously from Yorktown, in York
County. to New Castle Ferry, in Ham,
over County. a distance of about one
hundred miles. 1t is said that the mari
from this bed averages over 20 per
cent of lime and it is further said that
II can be dug and made valuable on
the land at a cost of 10 cents to one
dollar per ton. Homemade lime from
this bank was used by farmers in anti
bellum days. but after the war not
near so extensively because of tho
scarcity of labor and because also of
the general Decentralization incident u
the times. and the farmers got to buy
ing expensive ready made fertilizers
and used them unintelligently and
without trying to increase the humus
content in their soil. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that this natural
lime used with the legumes is abou'
all of the fertilizer that is needed in
the regions referred TO.

Chesterton's Style Subtle.

In writing an introduction to Great EX-
pectations Chesterton says OF Dickens,
An his books are full OF an airy yet ardent
expectation OF everything; OF the next per
son who shall happen to speak, Of the next
chimney that shall happen to smoke, Of the
next event. OF the next ecstasy. of the next
fulnIlment OF any eager human fancy"
For those who understand him Chesterton
is q humorist OF the subtlest sort. and those
who know him personally understand that
the seeming satire OF his essays is a most
genial, though perhaps gfgantesque. humor.
Take a word from him on the subject of mar
rage. He says: Marriage rests upon the
fact that you cannot have your cake and
tat it; that you cannot lose your heart and
have IT. The wise old fairy tales were
never 50 silly as to say that the prince and
princess lived peacefully ever afterwards.
The fairy tales said that the prince and
princess lived happily ever afterwards: and
so they did. They lived happily. though it
- very likely that from time to time they
threw furniture at each other Most mar
RACES, 1 think. are happy marriages, but
there is no such thing as contented mar
rage. The whole pleasure of marriage Is
that It is a perpetual crisis
What person of humor could not realize
after reading this, II he never realized It
before, that temper and anger are really
very humorous things often and that II every
one could realize this the tempestuous out
bursts, which may be as necessary as a
thunderstorm to clear the sky and perhaps
are as inevitable. would never have the dis
astrous results they do, separating people
for life and destroying not alone the happi-
ness OF one, but Of many?
There is something about humor that
gives a man who has It, or who enjoys II. a
better sense of proportion. The too serious
man humbugs himself and other people
HGmor is sunlight 1t shows up in the clear
est way many Objectionable things that hide
