CHEs1ER's POULTRY. SHOW
Over 700 Rare Birds Were Exhibited
at the Third Annual Show Of
Chester Poultry Association.

Chester.-The Chester poultry show
closed it's doors recently upon its
third and most successful exhibition.
There were over 700 birds, represent
ing some of the leading fanciers OF
the South. The show continued three
days.
Chester's show was peculiarly fortu-
nate this time in having with it Frank
C. Hare, who has been sent to this
state by the United States agricultural
department in cooperation with the
farm demonstration work at Clemson
college. The second night Mr.. Hare
exhibited a large number of stereopti-
con views along with two reels of NOV
ing pictures, showing the development
Of the chick from the time the egg
was placed in the incubator or under
the setting hen, until the cockerels
were ready for the market and the pull
let's for the laying pens. 1t was re-
markable to see how the little germ
in the egg increased in size each day
until at the 18th day the heart could
be plainly seen beating. On the 18th
day the chick could be seen kicking
about vigorously.
These pictures will be shown all
over the state and instructions given
about the best methods Of Matching,
rearing and marketing poultry and
obtaining eggs during the fall and
winter months. '"
Boys and girls between the ages of
10 and 18 are eligible to join the
poultry clubs. Arrangements, Mr..
Hare stated, are being made to have
members supplied with the best pure
bred poultry at the nominal price OF
rs cents for a setting or IL eggs.
South Carolina, he declared, made
the poorest increase, IS per cent, in
poultry and eggs during the past ten
years of any South Atlantic State.
He thought that this state was in a
capital position to supply the big
profitable Eastern markets with car
loads of fresh eggs during the months
Of October, November, December and
January, when the Northern lens are
on a strike. He said that already a
few breeders in this section were ship
ping eggs to New YORK and receiving
60 cents a dozen. Unfortunately, he
stated, the Southern eggs have a bad
reputation In the East, because OF the
prevalent. custom Of keeping male
BIRDS with the laying hens throughout
the year. The fertile eggs become
heated either at. the farms under the
hens or in transit and are .commenc'
ing to rot when they reach the North.
That cuts the price of the entire ship,
ment and the loss. goes right back to
the farmer who gathered the eggs.
Judge Loring Brown Of Atlanta was
the judge Of the show.

Bio Increase in Value.

Columbia.-Real estate during the
four years beginning with 1914 will
be assessed at something like s14, 0Oo,-
900 or SIS, 0O0, 900, an increase of from
35 to so per cent over the past four
years according to information given
city council a few days ago, when S.
l.. Miller, chairman, E. w. Parker and
L. E. Black, member of the board of
city assessors, appeared before that
body for a conference. The board as
sured council that they would work
for an equalization and a fair assess.

Wants Weight on Packages.

Mrs. E. S. Mather of Charleston,
state chairman for South Carolina of
the Housewives league, has addressed
a letter to the state department of ag-
riculture, urging that the next gen.
eral assembly pass a measure to re-
ouire companies offering food for sale
in packages to place the exact weight
on each package. 1.-THE suggestion is
a good one and I will make a recon-
mendation to the general assembly to
that effect" said Commissioner Wat
son, while speaking to the department
a few days ago.

Purchase 25.Acre Fair Ground.

The Pee Dee Fair Association will
in the near future purchase a tract OF
rs or 80 acres on the edge Of Florence
for the annual fairs and a pleasure
park. A number Of offers have been
made by people who would not sell
their land for any other purpose, and
who will sell at reasonable figures for
the fair. The association will declare
a dividend of 20 per cent profit on the
stock paid in for the first year out
of the proceeds of the first fair, and
will considerably increase the capital
stock.

His LifeStory.

Excuse me, sir" said the seedy one
in the hotel lobby, "but though a
stranger to me, your face seems famil
lar. Have you any relatives in At
lanta?"
Not one," was the reply. Years
ago I 1oated down the Chattahoochee
river on a raft, leaving all my relatives
behind. The raft was wrecked in a
storm and I had to swim ashore, with
a 40-pound catfish in tow. I traded the
fish for a weeks board, put an 'ad'
in the Lost column, recovered my
wrecked raft and started a lumber
yard. You can get a double-header Of
near-beer at the bar on the left; heret

London SIums.

The approaching demolition OF the
notorious Tabard street r reminds
one Of the clearing away of another
famous slum-the Rookery Of st. Giles
which vas pulled down in the forties
for the construction Of New Oxford
street. It largely consisted Of lodging
houses where men and women were
accommodated at two pence per night,
and vas the resort Of thieves and
coiners. Many of the houses were con-
nected together by the roof, yard and
cellar in such a way that the apprehen-
sion Of a criminal vas an almost i'm
possible task. In some Of. the pas
sages traps were set which landed a
determined pursuer into a cellar or
eesspool.-London Chronicle.

Up.to-D Date Claquer.

The theatrical claquer has ever been
an institution in France, especially
Paris, where a chef de claque" en-
joys a recognized status and receives
a comfortable income. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that the only duty Of
claquers Is to applaud. A wellorgan-
lied claque includes some members
who have cultivated the art Of infec-
tious laughter. These. called "chatouil-
%leurs," attend the lighter forms of
drama and laugh so heartily and
naturally that their neighbors join in,
and leave the house convinced that the
play must be a most amusing one.
Then, too, there + the "pleureuses,"
who are paid to shake with sobs at the
right moment during melodrama.

Will Develop Lookout Shoals.

Much interest was manifested in
business circles recently when it was
learned that the Southern Power Com
pany had decided to go ahead with
the development at Lookout Shoals
and not to develop the Fishing Creek
site in Chester county. For a great
many months the company was held
up in it's proposed development there
by the high price demanded for one or
two tracts that were necessary to its
purposes, but recently the company
and the landowners have come to
terms.

GreenviIle Jail.

Greenville.-In drastic terms, JOS
eph H. Fishman, inspector Of prisons
of the United States department Of
justice, declared the county Jail build
ing to be a reflection upon the repu-
tation of Greenville county as a pro-
gressive community, after making an
inspection Of that building a few days
ago.

listing, to say the least" said Mr.. Fish

ance was had and a most harmonious
and enthusiastic meeting was held.
