Washington, D. C., Feb. 7. ?In an effort to encourage .apd Increase poultry raining In tjie South, the Southern Railway Co., through lta Laqd and Industrial Department, hag lutmed a folder In the State# traversed by Uh lines for the profit able development of this Industry. ' Tbe big home demand for poultry products with prices higher than on other markets, and the Ideal condi tions prevailing In the South for raising chicks at low cost are two of the good arguments set forth In tbe folder. It Is a fact -that every Southern city of any slse Imports annually thousands of dollars worth ?of eggs and chickens. Bggs will average throughout the year at least five cent* more per do*^n than In the North. The Southern poul tryman has a market near his plant and does not have to consider long hauls and uncertain markets, i For the small poultry raiser who Is satisfied to make a living only at first, gradually building up his business with his profits, the ini tial cost of a poultry plant In the Southeast should not rub overt $500, according to an estimate given 1ft | the folder. Many prosperous Sou j-thern poultrymen began on as low 'as $100 first capital. Several acres of a land, a small laying house and runs is about all necessary for poul try raising on a small scale in the Southeast, and auch a plant will make a healthful, pleasant living for the family and under intelli gent management will In a few years result in a large industry. The Southern Railway Company is very much interested in the de velopment of the poultry Industry, as It Is in other Industries and ac tivities of the people served by .it* and Land and Industrial Agent M. V. Richards at Washington, and Western Agent Charles S. Chase, of Chemical Bldg., St. Louis, are pre pared to give all possible assista anco without charge to* prospective poultrymen desiring to locate In the Southeast. ? \'i\ V;"ilN OPBN LBTOBR ideuts of aU XT.

Without <louht the Company has the most up-bo-dute, refined carni val aggregation toUrlng the coun try doduy. The managers do not olalm It to be the largest for they have only five high-class shows, but these five are far above the average. Ten cents Is all that Is charged to vlstlt any one attraction. ? Will H. Welder the owner and manager of this fa mous aggregation enjoys the same reputation In the amusement world that Th#s. Rdlson does In olectrlc ity. ,When we make this assertion we only give Mr. Welder half the credllt due him. Meeker's Mlllltary Band Is the feature attraction.

Reed's Illusion show that Is with the aggregation, is hard to describe. The little lady Pauline, who 1b the feature attraction, is one of the most beautiful, graceful dancers that has ever tbyred the state of South Carolina. _ We must witness this 'little lady to do her justice. ?

The very handsome do nation made by the late Capt. Jno. Burdell, for the purpose will amount probably to sixty or seventy- . five thousand dollars, and If this sum could be aupplemented by the. citl seus of Camden and Kershaw coun ty to the amount of fifteen or twen ty thouuaud more It would enable us to build a hospital large enough for our needs, and there, would be aome thousands available for its maintenance. If the whole commu nity responds to this call with the eagernesa and enthusiasm of those who attended this Initial meeting, and will work with the seal they promise to do It will bo a question of only a few months when the re quisite sum will be raised, and the work will be begun on the building of, the hospital.

It wiu^ decided to call a meeting of the w6n^en of the county, at thd Opfcra House on Saturday, the 10th of February, at 11 o'clock to organ ise and elect a president and other offioers and It Is hoped there will be ,a~4|epr?Bentajtlve> from each town ship as the movement Is for the benefit of the whole county, and It should be consilderdd a privilege by everyone to help in this great work that will mean the alleviation of so much aickness and misery ampng th* poor, Bveryone should not only worK wtth all their might for the speedy 'accomplishment of their plans, but shoqld pray ear* neatly for God's blessing on this noble work.
