CRAFTSMANSHIP

ly in the field of sports that deserve attention, to-wit. the CollierManila boxing match and the Ketchikan- Netlakatla baseball game.
 Joe Collier had come to ketchikan year ago and in the estimation of practically everyone, ne deserved the decision but did not get it because one of the judges thought draw decision would save lot of hard feelings.
 Collier came again, this time fit as a fiddle and ready to win de- csive victory. He and Manila enter ed the ring and both fought with caution The first three rounds showed Collier the stronger man an,! the more skillful boxer. The fourth was even. The fifth round was furi- GUS, Manila trying to get in his famous right, but Collier ducking and making Manila miss badly Sud- denly Manila planted hard right ir Golfers body forcing crouch, but Collier swung hard left to Manila's heart and down dropped ManiIa's guard, then Collier swung a beautiful right to the jaw and the E'iliniro dropped to tse canvas, flat on his back like roast duck, gloves taking the place of legs.
 Not soul in the audience but VI at was satisfied that Manila was properly defeated. The entire hall was on it's feet yelling with jov Suddenly, somebody said "foul." It appears that after Manila was count ed out, and the referee had raised Golfers hand up in token in victory, and as the Filipino was coming back to consciousness, he began to say the word "foul." Two doctors were called and they say that there was evidence of foul all right. But those who were the nearest say the blows that downed Manila were the ones to the heart and to the jaw.
 In each of the first three rounds, Manila plainly fouled Collier, but Collier would not claim foul. There is the difference. Walter Sharp was the one who hollered the loudest fer Manila. A most singular thing is that as soon as the doctors and the judges gave the decision to Manila on this so-called foul, Manila was on his feet taking his congratulations
 The second incident was the base ball game There was bad decision at first so it appeared to us in the bleachers, and the decision of the bunt on the third strike by Buchert should have been "out" no matter what the Metlakatla umpire may have thought about some other de- cision on the part of the Ketchikan umpire. These decisions can be pass sed over as they did not count in the score.

TRAILS ANDERSON
TO FORT VALLEY

FORT VALLEY, Nov. 10. -
James w. Mckenzie, member of a
prominent family of Montezuma,
shot out the eyes of Walter Ander-
son, garage proprietor, also of
Montezuma, late Sunday afternoon,
when he found Anderson in com
pany with Mrs. Mckenzie, in this
city.
The McKenzies had been living
apart for several months. Mckenzie
is said to have been trying to OBJ
tain a reconciliation.
He trailed Anderson to a fash
ionable residence here where his
wife was stopping and waited a
half block away until both appear
ed.
Mckenzie then drove his automo-
bile along side of Anderson's and
opened fire with short barreled
shotgun, two shots taking effect in
Anderson's eyes.
Anderson was said to have been
armed with a pistol, but only Nc
Kenzie fired.
Immediately after the shooting,
Mckenzie surrendered to the police.
How Mckenzie fired the shotgun
is a matter that is causing much
comment here. He had only one
arm, having lost the other member
in an accident several months ago.
According to McHenzie's story
to the police, he said he brought
along a short barreled shotgun as
a matter of precaution, knowing
that Anderson had a bad temper
He said he had no intention of us
ing it.
When he drove up to the Ander-
son car, Mckenzie stated that he
called to his wife, "Pd like to see
you minute"
She did not respond and Ander-
son is said to have pushed her into
the automobile. Mckenzie stated
that it was then that Anderson APP
parently made move as if to draw
a pistol. He didn't give him a

POULTRY EXHIBIT
At SUMTER FA|p!l
HUGE SUCCE IS.
Five Hundreds Birds On Dis
play; Among Them Many
Statewide Prize Winners

The poultry show, held here dur
ing the past week at the Sumter
county fair, excelled any chicken
exhibit ever held in Americas. Near
ly 500 birds were on display and
it is doubtful if any county fair
held in the state this year could
boast of such fine array of high
class chickens.
Prof. Wooster, manager of the
poultry department, says "In all my
experience in the management of
chicken exhibits never have / seen
a display at any county fair that
could compare with the poultry
show put on here. This exhibit not
only excelled in the number of
birds exhibited but it excelled in
the display of chickens of blooded
strain.
81 think the show was a revela-
ton to all. Never before had the
people of this section realized to
what proportions the chicken indus
try has grown. If the industry con-
tinues to grow, and I think it will,
this section should be able to sup
ply eggs and poultry to all the
surrounding country and this would
eliminate the bringings here of eggs
from Tennessee and Kentucky.
"The poultry exhibit would have
been even larger than it was but
we were unable to provide proper
housing facilities for. the many
chicken fanciers who wanted to
enter birds at a late hour"
Among the many chicken grow
ers exhibiting was w. G. Turpin
who enjoys a nationwide reputa
ton for raising chickens for display
purposes. His Barred Plymouth
Rocks which have been on display
in poultry shows from Jacksonville
to Chicago, took first prize and all
second places except one in the
cockerel, hen and pullet class, and
he captured first and second awards
for the best pens. Mr.. Turpin's
Jersey Black Giants took all first
prizes in every class except the
pullet class.
At the Macon and Atlanta fairs,
held recently, Mr.. Turpin won the
prize for the best display of Bar
red Plymouth Rocks and his Black
Jersey Giants won many prizes. At
the two fairs Mr.. Turpin's birds
won % ribbons, two loving cups
and several cash prizes.
The latter part of the month,
Mr.. Turpin states, he is going to
send his chickens to the Florida
state fair at Jacksonville, and in
December he will send them to Chi
cago to compete in the big poultry
show which is held annually in the
Coliseum.
Both MIR. and Mrs. Turpin are
ardent chicken lovers and too
much praise cannot be given Mrs.
Turpin who spent much effort and
time in helping Mr.. Turpin raise
the chickens that are the center of
attraction in every poultry show in
which they are exhibited.

five other shots were scattered
