county delegation to vote in state conven-
tion for Colonel Jones for governor.
Hon. Hilary A. Herbert then and long
years before representative In Congress,
being citizen of Montgomery. addressed
the county convention at length. My
God!' exclaimed the impassioned orator,
Just think of 1t, In this free country 1t Is
proposed to put in the hands of the fed
eral government control of all your crops,
to tell you how much you shall plant, how
much you shall sell and finally to dis
tribute the property at public auction"
Mr.. Herbert declared the farmers had
not been neglected by the democratic
party In state or in Congress. Il voted,
he continued, for the remontization of
silver; l voted against rechartering the
national banks; / voted for the largest
measures forfeiting to the government
for the use of settlers all unearned rail-
road land grants; 1 voted for silver GER
tificates"
In Barbour there was the county con-
vention. 1t was stormy in extreme. AL
lance men controlled and the delegation
to Montgomery was instructed for Kolb.
Thus the counties sent up delegations,
Blount instructing for Richardson, Cal
houn for Crook, Dallas for Johnston,
Montgomery for Jones and Barbour for
Kolb.
The state executive committee of the
party, in alarm. issued an address on May
s. The peril of dismembered party was
extreme and without justification, the ad-
dress declared The party had been in
unchallenged possession of the state gov
ernment for IA years What results could
the party show! Assessable values that
stood at S1s400O.0o0 in 1874 now 16 years
later, had risen to $229, 100000. The 7h-mill
tax rate had fallen to 4 mills If insult
ficient laws still afflicted the people they
were the remains of tho rule of the bay
onet. Let everything be sacrificed to con-
tinue unifcation. We cannot escape our
burden by taking up another" cried the
committee.

In the variety now known as the Silver
Wyandotte.
Several other varieties have since ap-
peared, among them the Silver Penciled
which is illustrated herewith. This
is undoubtedly one of the most beau
tiful and attractive of all the Wyan-
dottes. 1t plainly shows it's Dark
Brahma ancestry in it's coloring, which
is identical with that of this famous
old breed. As all experienced fanciera
know. the breeder who aims to pro-
duce this strongly contrasting and
exquisitely marked plumage in its per-
fection has very interesting problem
on his hands.
In the Silver Penciled Wyandotte
male the top color is white. the hackle
and saddle being striped with black.
His breast, body, wing bar, and tall
are black, shanks and beak yellow. His
eyes, well rounded, wattles of medium
length, and low rose comb are red.
In the female we find the color diff
ferently distributed. The hackle is sill

American breeders may Justly be
proud of having created the Wyan-
dotte, one of the grandest general pur-
pose fowls on earth. Because of Its
sterling value it has become wonder
fully popular in the land of it's nativity,
as well as in many other parts of the
globe.
The original Wyandotte was the re-
suit of the crosses of several distinct
breeds, the object being to create
hardy fowl which would be at once a
good layer and a desirable market bird
1t is said that the breed in it's crude
form was brought about 1868. For
many years 1t was known under diff
ferent names. Sebright Cochin being
widely used. In 1888. when the breed
was admitted to the standard, the name
Wyandotte was suggested and adopted
as the official name of the breed.
The early speciments had silver-laced
plumage. and this has been perpetuated

very white, each feather black striped.
The tail is solid black. excepting the
two upper feathers, which may be
slightly penciled. The rest of the Wis
ible plLmage is steel gray with distinct
rows of dark penciling, narrow stripes
conforming to the shape of the feath-
ers.
This variety has the typical Wyan-
dotte shape to a marked degree. and in
this respect breeds very true to type.
The males weigh ~ to S1s pounds, fe-
males Il to 619, according to age. The
hens are well up to the average as
producers of brown -shelled eggs, and
they make very reliable settlers and
mothers.
Though the Silver Penciled Wyan-
dotte does not enjoy the wide popu-
larity of the white variety, 1t Is a very
desirable utility fowl and offers the esS-
hibition breeder unusual opportunities
for the display of his skill.

distribution. May its numbers increase

ministration Democrats repaired to
Senator Hollis office, leaving Senator
Hitchcock and the Republicans in pos

United Support of Great Powers

Washington, Nov. 13.-United sup
port from the great Powers abroad for
the American policy toward Mexico
shown in variety of quiet diplomat
ie activities, gave President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan a confident feel
ing, today, that the elimination of Gen.
Victoriano Huerta as Provisional
President of Mexico would soon be an
accomplished fact. That the financial
blockade instituted by the United
States had effectually Ted the purse

pressure was being eXerted incessant-

their inucnce and persistent reports

Washington government that at last
Il was making definite progress to-

President Wilson had prepared, early
In the day, Il statement of the situa-
tlon relterating what had been at
tempted in the communications pre-
scented by Charge O'Shaughnessy and
John Lind but within a few hours
such favorable advices were received
as to cause the President to withhold
the document from publication. He
stuck It away in a drawer with many
another summary of International af-
fairs. There were elements in this
case" said the President, which !
cannot at present discuss but which
1t looks to me very much more faver-
able
An exchange of cablegrams with Am
bassador Page, an agreement by Great
Britain to leave the solution of the
Mexican problem in the hands Of the
United States and an announcement
that no moral or financial support
would be granted by England to the
Ifuerta regime, set forth in London
dispatches, created favorable i'm
preston throughout official Washing
ton.
1t ives felt that Great Britain,
France. Germany and other nations
now stood together in acquiescence to
the United States for the elimination
of Huerta.
The President spoke thus of the sit
uation to Washington correspondents
at the semi weekly interview. His
manner was calm and it was appar-
emit that he felt decidedly encouraged
by recent advices. The President is
not usually quoted after these con-
ferences, but, today, he permitted quo
tation to the extent of the single SEN
tence. This he did to allay any ten
sion that might have arisen in this
country over the situation described
in the dispatches from Mexico City
Asked about the word Favorable he
explained that he meant Favorable to
a settlement" The President gave no
details to show upon what his opti-
misn was based.
1t was evident the President had
