One hundred and ten colts raised in the county have beer entered; six different exhibits of Berk. shire hogs from pig to porker; sever breeds of stallions, including the Perche- ron and Coach; Jerseys, Holsteins. Ayr. shires, Durhams and a variety of cattle or the COW kline are insistently displayed by admiring owners, and as for chickens there are fowls to burn. Four great liv- cry barns are packed to overflowing with there were persons up to Saturday morn ing at 10 o'clock insisting upon making additional entries
 Less than 10 days notice has been given or the holding of the show, so that the tumultuous response from the farmers Of the county has been a bit overwhelnl- ing to the promoters. The streets are full of proud owners leading up and down nearly everything that walks on four legs While jam of critical observers hang around the various displays in the barns The fair has all the characteristics of a county fair without the grafters, the spoilers, the sideshows, the midway, the horse, race and the chestnutty whiskered attachments to catch suckers usually a part of the exhibition. Its effect will prove of lasting good to the citizens of this county It is safe to predict that in 10 years Talladega will be selling food stuffs and live stock to the world out side. The lesson of the fair will do much to wipe out exemption laws and crop lien mortgages to substitute there for a full larder, bank balance and cash on delivery.
 Poultry Exhibits
 The exhibition of chickens and turkeys raised in the county, which has been brought together within less than 10 days notice is really remarkable. Experts and exhibitors who have attended various state fairs assert that here are collected more really fine fowls than were ex- hibited at any state fair of the south this season. especially in the Mediterra- mean and American class of chickens It is prosy and without interest to mere ly give list of the exhibits or cata- log the various entries, so that the ef- fort of the writer is to convey the les son. of the show with side lights and detached items which it is hoped may prove worth remembering.
 The swine exhibit is revelation. The Clan Alpine Farm, conducted by a young man who was formerly a society leader in the city, shows four pens of regis tered Berkshires, one of the number be. ing a half-sister of the present champion Berkshire of the world; another, boal

DOCS DAYS

If iti is true that every dog
will have his day then Chester
field county dogs have had
theirs.
The authorities are determ-
ined to see that the dogs of the
Chesterfield High School Dis
rict paJ their taxes and thus
ear their share in the local
educational expenses.
The town, ostensibly for pro-
|tection against hydrophobla, has
Idecreed that all dogs within it's
limits shall be muzzled.
These regulations may seem a
hardship to some dog owners,
but there is much to be said in
their favor. The tax is only so
cents and it would seem that a
dog that is not worth a 80 cent
tax is hardly worth keeping
and should be gotten rid of.
The tax goes entirely for educa-
tlonal purposes and should
therefore be gladly paid.
The town is we'll within it's
rights to compel the muzzling of
all dogs within it's limits. This
is a precautionary measure that
is being insisted upon by all
communities that are awake to
the dangers from this source.
These measures will greatly
benefit the dogs in that owners
will strive to improve the breed
of dogs that will cost them in
;, trouble and money.

Dixie.

The following is FROM the pen
of DR.. Frank crane, the brilliant
editorial writer for the New
York Globe:
Dixie" is the best liked tune
in the United States. Audiences
that remain apathetlc through
infinite rag>time and sentimen-
tai airs will applaud when the
band plays the southern classic.
1t doesn't seem to make any
difference whether people are
from Dixie land or not. North
erners, New Englanders, West
erners somehow seem to warm
up as responsively as one bred
in old Kentucky when the lively
strains of-the inimita BILE melody
begin.

Slavery is gone. The South.
ern aristocracy is no longer domi.
nant. States rights have paled.
But the one song of the south has
triumphed over all that the
north could do in the way OF
music.
1t is as unreasonab BILE as woman,
and as irresistible. AS the suth.

knocks all logical canons of beau,

Its high spirit of chivalry, its
keen sense of honor, it's esteem
of women, its PASSIONATE love of
home, it's vivid loyalty to its
convictions, these are fine flavors
in the garden of human feeling.
We pay unconscious tribute to
them wnen we applaud Dixie. "
Why is Dixie" the best
American tune? Why do you
like Sue instead of Jane? Why
do you like ham and not mutton?
The dictates Of taste are inscru-
table.
We like Dixie" because we
like it.
1t is original; there was never
a tune like it. It is not, like
the flood of comic opera melodies.

nor a crazy-quilt of recollected

Such song is made once a cen

1t is lively. There is sunshine
in it, and laughter, the t,nkling
of banios, the pat-juba of clapp-

cosmic, elemental joy of life.
There is home in it, and love
and LOYALTY, and the glee of 'our

And it is human. 1t grips the
heart. 1t gets into the feet. 1t
