Kilman, manager for Miss Ideal, was directing the contest and when the boys were diving stood on the edge of the tank to guard against any of the boys be- ing injured while diving. He was fault lessly attired in evening clothes. One little fellow made a false step prepara- tory to making a dive and grabbed Mr. I<ilman with the result that he lost his balance and tumbled head-first in the tank. Needless to say the audience roared at the accident, for Mir Kilman got .'soaked from head to foot. He took the matter good naturedly and both he and Miss Ideal joined in the laughter caused by his unexpected bath.

ordered hogs.
 Boosters Got Together
 Everywhere these talks were met with the assertion that Talladega county had neither hogs, horses nor cattle, and noth- ing to live upon except just cotton. To put this matter to the test it was de- cided to make an effort to induce the few people who had these things to bring them to town and show them. The ven erable and venerated Judge G. K. Miller added a boost to the contemplated effort by stating: Gentlemen. I have a small farm on the river that is tenanted en- tirely by negroes, My foreman has nine hogs, none of them weighing less than 200 pounds, and each one of the other five negro tenants owns from five to seven hogs"
 Farmers Surprise Themselves
 MT. J. E. Rainwater living seven miles from the city, added a word to the dis cussion as follows; 'I have mare that is the proud mother of 13 living colts, all born and raised in Talladega county" So little here and there was added to the, su mtotal, until was decided just to send word around among the neigh bors" and have a small county show without the horse race, or the midway. The response was totally unexpected, especially in view of the fact that there has already been held one county fair in Sylacauga, one of the live towns of TaIladega county which was largely att tended scarcely month since The first, and most valuable lesson to be learned from the present exhibits is that Talla- dega county cannot only furnish it's own bread and meat, but that it is doing it right now.
 At the entrance of barn No. l, there is a huge pile of green alfalfa, the sixth cutting of this forage crop this season, yielding five and one-half tons per acre in plain dollars and cents being si00 with out lick of work except harvesting.
 TalIadega College Farm
 Talladega College Farm, within the city limits, will show the interested spectator green acres of this alfalfa on ordinary red clay lands. The new Dasheen potato suitable for low, wet lands. tuber look ing quite like a turnip and astonishingly fertile. sits next to thealfalfa-backed up by huge piles of winter rape, a food for both man and beast-a dish fit for a human epicure, and sufficient to fatten the scrawniest hog. The possibilities of rape is scarcely known to the southern farmer, but to the Talladega county pork raisers is considered a special gift of providence, one acre of it being enough to furnish pork and bacon for an ordi- nary family.

The city is still taking care of an
average Of seventy-five sleepers each
night at the city building, and many
of them are Ill. The other evening q
well known South Side resident who
has been i'll for some time, was gath

ed to the county infrmary hospital at
Elm Groye, where he will be cared
fer He was in very bad condition
and It is doubtful If he will recover.
There are many others IN the number
who are i'll, but they are unable to Sc
cure medical attention and they are
left in theb asement Sleeping on

The city is up against proposition.
as the majority of the men are un-
clean and various diseases also pre-
vail The vermin are also said to be
SO plentiful, that the employees of the
building shun the proposition of even
going to the basement, for fear of
carrying a supply Of the live stock
home with, them. Many of the men
have no underclothing or shoes, and
1t Is pitiful sight to see them each
night sleeping in the basement of the
building. There are also many boys
in the number. and many OF them
claim that they have tried to get
work all over the country and that
they have been unable to do so.
1t would be a good policy for the
members Of the Associated Charities,
or other charitable institutions, to
take q trip to the building some even
