that the germ thrives in sandy soil
The soil at the other places in the
county is OF more or less clay COM

POULTRY SHOW.

This afternoon the South Caro-
lima Poultry Association show, which
is being held In connection with the
exposition, opened with about 1900
birds entered. This is the largest
show of the kind ever held in South
Car lima.
The dipping vat was one of great
interest. There was a crowd of in
terested people around to see the
first cow take the plunge into the
depths of the arsenical solution,
which is used to eradicate the cattle
tick. During the demonstration a
representative of the department
explained the dipping process, and
discussed the cattle tick problem
with number of farmers, who
seemed to be truly interested in
freeing their farms of this destruc-
tive insect, which, according to a
statement from DR.. E. M. Nighbert,
costs South Carolina annually
$1,1OO.OOO.
Demonstrations of the dipping
vat take place three times each day.
at 10 O'Clock, o'clock, and 4
O'Clock. In connection with this,
there are other demonstrations of
cattle showing the damaging results
of tick infestation.

From now on until the close of the

tistics the contesting parties will be Nc
KiIen, Holmes, McKericker, Davis.
Hafe, and Jasper. McKillen's 80 gives
him the advantage, but a glance at the
averages shows that Old Horse Holmes,
of 9S. and Capt. McKericker, of 81, is
due to give him battle at any time.
He is also forced to keep an eye on
Capt Davis sc, and heavy Arti!lerymen,
Hafie and Jasper, for either one of them
may hand him a blow when he's not
looking. Following close on their heels
comes the whole army anxious to get
into the fray.
Last Monday night the Reds and

In the first skirmish the Reds and

Another Inter-city Bowling Battle.

Another treat is in store for the bowl
ing enthusiasts OF Washington. On next
Saturday night. at the Palace alleys, "A
picked team from the Oyster Packers
League Of Baltimore. will meet a pick
cd team from Washington.
One Of he hest matches ever staged
is promised. and the personnel Of the
two teams makes this an assured fact.
The lineup for Baltimore is as follows:
]. l. Vaeth. Joe krichton. Mahoncy.
Sid kadfen. Waxtcr. and Bonthron.
For Washington the lineup will be
practically the same as that which shot
against Ray MorEan's picked team:
I,onny Krauss, Harry HALEY. skinny
Carroll. John Eiker, Harry Krauss. and
Johnnie Baum.

the other match, and Sid Kadden and

having shown before that they are the
real articles. As to Vaeth. the writer
has never had the pleasure of seeing
him perform, but If all accounts be true
our own Harry Erauss will have to let
out a notch TO hold him.
The match is an outcome OF the set
with Ray MUrEans team. 1t was plain
to be seen in Baltimore that Mr. Krich-
ton was peeved at being beaten by the
Washington bnwlers. and FASTENED to
sound the Washington crowd or another

excitement. The board showed the first
game a tie. while the bfficial score book

the two games, and NJ. c. team won

In the second game the {. & Il. team
was about forty pins to the good in the
