BUTLER COUNTY'S FI
It Turns Out to Be Quite a Suc
cess
FINANCIALLY AND SOCIALLY
Judge Zell Gaston Wins First Prize With His
Excellent Poultry Exhibit—The
Races Were Good.
Greenville, Nov. 7 — (Special.)—Butler
Is the only county in the state which has
been enterprising enough to hold Its coun
ty fair this year, in spite of the promised
interference of the big Atlanta show.
And Butler has no occasion whatever to
regret her action in the matter, for the
fair thus far has been a gratifying suc
cess. The attendance has been larger
than was anticipated by the manage
ment and from a social and business
standpoint everybody is satisfied.
The fair is not by any means a preten
tious affair. It is strictly a Butler coun
ty show. The premiums offered are not
large, but when coupled with the pride
of seeing a blue ribbon hanging on one’s
exhibit are enough to encourage Butler's
enterprising farmers to do their best to
win. Fine weather has added to the suc
cess of the fair and the race track has
been in splendid condition. The result
has been some excellent races, in which
Butler and Lowndes county horses have
won the most money.
The poultry exhibit Is the best perhaps
ever seen in Alabama. There are 211
chickens, 17 turkeys and 24 pigeons.
Among the first premium winners were
Judge Zell Gaston on barred Plymouth
Rocks, B. H. Whittington on white Ply
mouth Rocks and Wyandott pullets, W.
T. McMulIon on Wyandotte cocks, P. B.
Dunklin on Langshongs, Mrs. M. P. Ham
ilton on Indian games, Cecil Gaston on
game bantams, A. G. Stewart on Sea
bright bantams, Charles Scott on game
cocks. C. C. Henderson on game hens;
Zell Gaston on bronze turkeys, W. J. Tul
lis of Montgomery on brown leghorns. J.
G. Rensonover of Montgomery on white
leghorns and black leghorns, T M. Vosd
of Montgomery on fancy pigeons.
Mr. Larney Brown of Bolingbrake, Ga.,
one of the most intelligent and best
known poultrymen In the country. Judged
the show. He complimented Judge Gas
ton of Greenville by saying he had a pen1
of barred Plymouth Rocks—one cock and
five hens—that were as fine as he ever
Jsaw in the south.
The display by Judge Thornton, a lead
ing Butler farmer, of field crops, veg
etables, home made meat, etc., and a very
fine lot of winter apples of not only his
own raising, but Ills own propagation,
was very creditable.
Mr. D. P. Price has an exhibit of But
ler county tobacco and home manufac
tured cigars.
Greenville Mills has a display of rice
from the sheaf to the cleaned article.
Much has been done to encourage rice
culture in this county.
Mr. J. M. McKenzie has a fine lot of
Butler county raised hogs on exhiliti.
Mr. Ed Cox has an extensive display of
peas, ground peas, corn, sweet potatoes,
sugar cane. etc.
Mr. H. C. Cresch has a fine exhibit of
winter apples, October peaches and also a
lot of fruit trees.
Mr. W. R. Thaggard and Mr. John
Fiveman have displays of field crops.
Mesdames H. J. Tbagard, E. R. Adams
find E. C. Cresch have tine displays of
earned fruits, preserves, catsups, wines
and pickles.
The fancy work apartment is well filled,
a knit quilt, the work of Mrs. Harris, be
ing prominent among the most attractive
and creditable of the articles thus exhib
ited.
The art display Is most eredltabie and
the exhibit of the Greenville scroll and
ornamental factory Is excellent.
Messrs. J. H. Kern. S. F. Erwin. J. H.
Perdue and S. D. Bergame have some
very fine specimens of hogs on exhibit.
Messrs. J H. Perdue. W. R. Thagard
and C. C. Henderson are the owners of
tlie finest looking Jersey cattle on the
grounds.
The grounds and buildings are lighted
by electric lights.
One of the most gratifying features of
the fair is that politics have not. It Is
said, even incidentally been referred to
on the gieunds.
No matter what else it did, if the earth
quake shock waked up St. Louis there
should be no complaint.

GENTRY NOT IN IT.
He Couldn’t Hold His Own Against Patchen on
a Half Mile Track—The Race a
Farce.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 7.—A race be
tween the great pacing horses, Joe
Patehen and John R. Gentry, took place
at the exposition grounds here this even
ing, under the auspices of the Richmond
Riding and Driving association, but in
no way could it be considered a success.
The attendance was small and the racing
was more in the nature of a farce than in
a bonafide race. This, however, was no
fault of the Riding and Driving associa
tion, but was due to the fact that Gentry
not being used to a half mile track was
clearly out-classed. He jiaced two heats
with Patchen, and in both finished some
distance in the rear. The race was mile
heats, best three in five, and after the
second heat it became apparent to Mr.
Scott, Gentry’s owner and driver, that he
could not hold his own with Patchen on
a half mile track. Gentry was withdrawn
and Patchen went the third heat with a
running mate. In this heat he eclipsed
all previous records here and made a
mile in the astonishingly low time of
2:11.

The Gold Bugs Knifed Hardin.
Says the Montgomery Journal:
“The Montgomery cuckoo organ ad
mits this morning that if Hardin had
stood on the alleged gold bug platform
in Kentucky he would have been elected.
It was hardly necessary for the Adver

Hardin in Kentucky. Everybody knew
it before. Now the question naturally
arises, did Carlisle trouble himself to go
to Kentucky to vote for Hardin or Brad

"ART AND BEAUTY UNlTtO.
Miss Irene Langhonie Married to Mr. Charlea
Dana Gibson, the Popular New
York Artist.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 7.—Not In a long
time has Richmond witnessed such a
brilliant social function as was the mar
riage at higli noon today at St. Paul’s
church of Miss Irene Langhorne to Mr.
Charles Dana Gibson of New York. So
ciety has been on the tiptoe of expectancy
regarding the event for months, and
when the wedding party reached the
church they found it crowded to suffoca
tion with the beauty and fashion of the
city, while outside in the portico and the
sidewalks was another vast throng anx
ious to get a sight of the couple and their
attendants. The decorations of the
church, while elaborate and profuse, were
in elegant taste and were most artistical
ly arranged, the predominating colors
being white and green. The chancel was
mazed in palms and chrysanthemums
and the altar was almost hidden in
maiden hair fern and white flowers. In
the hall hundreds of lights shed a mellow
glow. On the stroke of the bell at 12
o'clock the church chorister entered, pre
ceding the bridal party, singing the
“Voice that Breathed O'er Eden," the
music for which was composed for the
occasion by the Rev. Dr. Hartley Carmi
chael. and continued singing until the bri
dal party had reached the chancel rail.
As the choristers entered the middle aisle
the groom, accompanied by his best man,
Mr. Langdon Gibson, entered from the
vestery and awaited the bride at the
chancel steps. Following the choisters
came the ushers, Messrs. Harry F. Lang
horne of Richmond, Algeron Craven of
England, James Dekay of New York, T.
E. Sykes, Thomas Hastings of New York,
John T. Anderson, Tilburn T. Myers of
Richmond, Tompkins Mcilwaine and
Richard Harding Davis of New York;
then the bridesmaids, Miss Hessie Martin
of Richmond, Miss Tillle Pemberton of
Philadelphia, Miss Allies Connalley, Miss
Elian HobsOn, Miss May Jones, Miss
Elisabeth Gibson, Misses Nannie and
Phillis Eanghorne. The maids of honor
came next and were followed by the bride
leaning on the arm of her father, Mr.
Chlsewell Dabney Langhorne.
The bride s gown was of heavy white
satin en train, made with high neck and
long sleeves, the corsage finished with a
piasteron of accordeon plaited chiffon
and garniture of Penaissance lace. The
tulle veil was fastened to the hair with
diamond pins. The bridal bouquet was
of lilies of the valley and double blue
violets.
When Mr. Rnnghorne gave the bride
away she raised her veil and kissed him
affectionately.
The bridesmaids were gowned in yel
low taffpta chiffon waists, finished with
Marie Antoinette Fichues, large black
velvet hats trimmed in ostrich plumes
and black gloves; bouquets of yellow
chrysanthemums.
The maids of honor wore white taffeta
silks, yokes of lace and chiffon, large
white hats, trimmed with white feathers,
and carried bouquets of white chrysan
themums. The bridesmaids, who stood
on each side of the aisle, just at the
chancel steps, allowed the bride to pass
through and then proceeded to the chan
cel, where they stood in front of the
double row of ushers and choristers; the
maids of honor taking their placgs on
either side of the bride and groom.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Dr. Hartley Carmichael, rector of the
church. The wedding party loft the
church to the strains of the wedding
march from Rohengrin. The bride is the
daughter of Mr. C. D. Ranghorne of this
city and Is one of Richmond’s greatest
beauties. She is well known in the north,
particularly in New York. The groom
lias more than a national reputation as
an artist. Immediately after the cere
mony a wedding breakfast was served at
the residence of the bride’s iiarants. The
affair was an elegant one. Mr. and Mrs.
Gibson received In the spacious hall of
the house, which was richly decorated
with palms, ferns and RaFrance roses.
The parlor was decorated In yellow chry
santhemums and the dining room was in
green and white, in keeping with the col
ors at the church. Breakfast was served
at small tables, each of which was laden
with exquisite flowers. Among the guests
at the breakfast from abroad were: Mr.
and Mrs. Rangdon Gibson, Mrs. Charles
Kewolf Gibson, Miss Annie Gibson, Miss
Josephine Glhson, Miss Benedict, Miss
Barry More, Miss Redmond, Miss Post,
Mr. and Mrs. Sanford White. Mr. James

o'clock in the afternoon for Old Point,
whence they will go to New York and
other northern cities, but will return to
Richmond before sailing for Europe on
the 42d.__ _ _
SOME TIME.
Rast mgnt, my darling, as you slept,
I thought t heard you sigh.
And to your little crib I crept,
And watched a space thereby:
Then, bending down, 1 kissed your brow—
For, oh! I love you so—
You are too young to know It now.
But some time you shall know.
Some time, when, in a darkened place
Where others come to weep.
Your eyes shall see a weary race
Cairn in eternal sleeo;
The speechless lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient sinlle may show—
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Rook backward, then, into the years,
And see mo here tonight—
See, O my darling! how my tears
Are falling as I write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago—
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.

ALABAMA COAL
Finds a Good Market in New Orleans, Where
Great Quantities of It Are Used,
Alabama coal Is gaining- a strong foot
ihold in New Orleans, and In the near fu
ture will, no doubt, control the trade of
that city, which amounts to many thou
sands of tons annually.
This season has been especially favora
ble to the operators of this district. Here
tofore Pennsylvania has supplied the coal
for New Orleans and the lower Missis
sippi. but during the last summer and
fall the Mississippi and Ohio rivers have
been unable to float coal barges and as a
consequence Now Orleans had to look
elsewhere for her supply. They turned to
Birmingham with much skepticism, and
It was only after thoroughly testing the
Alabama product that they became con
vinced it would answer their purpose.
At first small quantities for the purpose
of testing were ordered, but later orders
began coming with more frequency and
for larger quantities, until now there Is
quite a demand for Alabama coal in the
f'i scent City.
Several ot the companies in this dis
trict have established agencies in New
Orleans and all report good business.
FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
The University of Pennsylvania Criticised for
Not Sending a Good Team to Meet
the Boston Team.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—The University
of Pennsylvania faculty committee on
athletics, at a special meeting this after
noon, adopted the following resolution:
Kesolved, That athletic teams repre
senting the University of Pennsylvania
shall not hereafter play on other than
college grounds, without first having ob
tained special permission from the uni
ver^ty committee on athletics.
A member of the committee was seen
after the meeting and said that much of
the recent criticism of the faculty’s
action in prohibiting the university's
football game In New York with the
Boston Athletic association has shown
Conclusively that many of the critics
and a certain proportion of the public do
not recognize clearly the difference be
tween the competitive sports of students,
where the first thought should be the
promotion of health and strength, and'
simitar sports undertaken by outside or
ganizations, for in some instances far
different motives actuate the partici
pants. He added that the more strictly
the game of football could be limited to
colleges and universities the more hope
there would be for its preservation and
for ridding it of its objectionable fea
tures, incident to contests in which "gate
money" and gambling were conspicuous
features.
The athletic committee has been con
templating this further step for some
time, and thought it best to take it be
fore the end of this season, so no matter
how future games might result, such re
sult could not be thought to have in
fluenced their action.
Besides their reasons on the ground of
the physical unfitness of the men for pro
hibiting the university game, the posi
tion of the Pennsylvania faculty on ath
letics is concisely given In the above
statement.
It is further necessary, howtver, to
consider the failure of Pennsylvania to
bend over the strongest eleven that.could
be mustered to play under the title of
the University of Pennsylvania eleven.
This omission has been most severely
criticised, and In fact forms the whole
basis of the contention that Pennsyl
vania has behaved in an unsportsman
like manner. This charge would appear
to he well founded, but from facts that
have since developed, It would seem as if
It would have been a virtual impossibili
ty to have sent a team.
In the first place It must be stated that
Dr. White's opinion as to the physical
team referred to seven of the eleven men.
For reasons which every medical man
will comprehend, It would have been a
grave professional error for Dr. White to
have specified which seven men were un
fit to play. Therefore, It would have been
Impossible to have made up a team in
cluding the remaining four, which have
disclosed the fact that the seven
men who did not play were the ones re
ferred to by Dr. White. Hence the only
alternatives was to send eleven substi
tutes, and this idea was rejected solely
because of the following reasons: It
would have been an insult to the Boston
players, whose only aim was to try con
clusions with the strong Pennsyvnnia
eleven, and not to gain a nominal victory
to which no glory would attach. It would
have been masquerading behind a false
face: it would have been unfair to the
members of the regular eleven to have the
title that they had been defended by
a learn containing not one of their1 num
ber, and it would not have been accept
able to Secretary Beals of the Boston's,
who, in conference with the Pennsylva
nia football management on Monday
evening after hearing of the faculty com
mittee's action which he applauded, ex
pressed a desire to have the freshmen
team substituted for the regular eleven,
stating that th Boston players would pre
fer to meet a weaker team If they could
have the glory to be gained from a close
match with Pennsylvania’s regular elev
en. As Is generally known this proposi
tion was assented to at once, and after
Mr. Reals had telephoned for and obtain
ed the consent of the Boston team to the
arrangment Pennsylvania spent several
hours In getting together the freshmen
and preparing for their visit to New York
in order that the Boston team and the
people might not bo disappointed. That
they were disappointed was due to the
subsequent refusal of the Boston eleven
to carry out the agreement made by their
secretary with their own approval. Neith
er the Bostons nor the owners of the
Manhattan field yesterday have suffered
financially, the Athletic association of the
University of Pennsylvania, recognizing
the right of the faculty committee to take
the action which they did, and Ignoring
the liability of the Boston Athletic asso
ciation because of their refusal to play
the substitute in the game, having ex
pressed their willingness to foot all bills.

He Had a Baby.
A touching story is related by a con
temporary as follows:
“No. I won’t drink with you, today,
boys,” said a drummer to several com
panions as they settled down in a smok
ing car and passed the bottle. "The fact
is. boys, I've quit drinking; I’ve sworn
off.”
“What’s the matter with you, old boy?”
sang out one. “If you’ve quit drinking
something’s up. What is it?”
“Well, boys, I will tell you. Yesterday
I was in Chicago. Down on South Clark
street a customer of mine keeps a pawn
shop in connection with his other bus
iness. I called on him and while I was
there a young man of not more than 25,
wearing threadbare clothes and looking
os hard as if he hadn’t seen a sober day
for a month, came In with a
little package in his hand. He
unrapped it and handed the article to the
pawnbroker, saying, 'Give me 10 cents.'
And, boys, what do you suppose it was?
A pair of baby's shoes; little things with
the bottoms only a trifle soiled, as if
they had been only worn once or twice.
‘Where did you get these?’ asked the
pawnbroker. 'Got ’em at home,’ replied
tlie man, who had an Intelligent face
and the manner of a gentleman, despite
his sad condition. 'My wife bought them
for our baby. Give me 10 cents for ’em—
I want a drink.' 'You had better take
the shoes back to your wife; the baby
will need them,' said the pawnbroker.
‘No s-she won't, because she’s dead.
She’s lying at home now—died last
night.’ As he said this the poor fellow
broke down, bowed his head on the show
case and cried like a child.
“Boys,” said the drummer, “you may
laugh if you please; but I—I have a
baby at home, and I swear I’ll never
drink another drop.”
