Columbia was lavishly decorated Monday, the predomi nating color being winthrop blue. 1 You must not forget that you ' will have only a little while longer to be examined for hookworm. This is the last opportunity we shall have of urging you to attend the Corn Show. The exposition closes Saturday. We wonder how many more times the legislature will adjourn for the week-end before getting down to business? Jerry Moore must be a remarkable youth not to let his fame as a corn-grower nor his Clemson uniform turn his head. Aiken is once more in the lime light with its disastrous hotel fire and its sensational trial of "Beauty" Beach, both occurring this week. If the ground hawg had er stayed in his hole Sunday instid er comin' out and look in* for his shadder, we wouldn't be er havin' this here nasty, mean blasted weather. It is about time for Governor Blease or Senator Tillman to send a communication to the general assembly. We are not Clir^ U'lrnj lini' it \IfO o tliii rv i? out v ft nvtuvi ac >v ao cue wuc vji the other that had the last say. The suggestion of our correspondent, Mr. S. E. Bailes, in this issue, that Lancaster ought to have an annual county fair, is a good one. The News for several years has been advocating this. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in his speech at the Corn Show, stated that out of 3,100,000,000 bushels of corn grown in the United States last yeaf, the 14 cotton states produced 1,080,000,000 bushels The Associated Press sent out a dispatch Sunday to the effect that President-elect Wilson attended church that day. We see nothing unusual in the statement, as Mr. Wilson is a Presbyterian elder who attends church every Sunday. The state of Tennessee has wisely decided to place a statue of General Andrew Jackson, her adopted citizen, in "Statuary Hall" at the Capitol in Washington. The people of Lancaster county, where Jackson was born, congratulate Tennessee on the wisdom of her choice. I The State has broken all records in newspaper achievement in this state, the "Corn Exposition" niimhor hpincr t.hp last word in special editions. Nevertheless The Spartanburg Herald is holding its own, as is evidenced by its "Agricultural Edition," which reflects the greatest credit on that enterprising paper. 4* - + THE CORN SHOW. We spent Friday and Saturday in Columbia taking in the National Corn Show, and we were so much impressed with what we saw that we wish tc i urire UDon every man, woman and child in Lancaster county who has not seen this great exhibition not to hesitate about the matter, but to go down, even if they have to return the same day. The farmers, especially, should avail themselves of this great opportunity to see not only what other parts of the state are doing, in the way of improved methods ir farming, but what other states of the American Union are doing. If one's time is limited, he can leave here at either six or eight-thirty o'clock in the morning and on arriving in Columbia at the union station take a car for the show grounds and can spend two or three hours there and get back the same day. But if possible, by all means, remain over for two days. If you decide to go, and we hope you will, take with you a note book and pencil and make memoranda of the most important things you see and take up each exhibit separately. You will find courteous gentlemen and ladies in charge of the exhibits, who will cheerfully answer all questions. South Carolina shows up well. The experimental station at Clem son College has a very fine exhibit. The effect of terracing land is shown, also the effect of drainage. A state map of the different counties where large yields of corn were made by boys last year is on exhibition, indicated by red marks. Lancaster, York, Chester, Greenville and Spartanburg are the principal counties. Corn fertilizer results are exhibited, showing the relative amout of grain and fodder produced by using the various kinds of fertilizers. The South Carolina department of commerce and industries has a separate exhibit, which does credit to Mr. E. J. Watson, the commissioner. Indiana has a good exhibit. The following nrinted matter hnn?r nn in the Indiana booth, expresses the right idea: "We are for better farming, Better Live Stock, Better Soils, Better Crops, A contented, prosperous people." After South Carolina, we were particularly impressed with the exhibits of Virginia, North Carolina. New York, Texas, Alabama, Washington, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ohio and Missouri, but as a matter of fact each state represented made a good showing. But don't fail to see the miniature "Country Community Center," in charge of Misses Carney and Taft, who are enthusiastic talkers with whom you will be charmed. This represents, in miniature, a community in the country with 28 acres of land and 10 miles from any railroad, yet they have almost every modern convenience for a count i' /\t* vi %y vwiiiiiiiiiii vt> wi pi \ t people. It shows the following: 1. The consolidated school. 2. Church. 3. Grange. Creamery and laundry. 5. Parsonage. 6. Teacher's cottage. 7. School barn. 8. Fair ground sheds. This exhibition would put any live, up-to-date farmer to thinking. The exhibition of the federal government is alone worth the trip to Columbia. The milking of cows by the electrical device is shown on the ground at 4 p. m. every day. When you gr. aown (ion i rail to see tne winthrop College exhibit. If you are interested in poultry you I 1 ?v ? - ' > . ,;r . ^V'*v v THE LANCASTER NEW will see a good display up in tfc city on Main street. But tiir i and space fails us to give eve s a faint idea of what can be see i by going to the Corn Show, j ? we suggest that you go and s< i for yourselves. We looked in on the legisli . ture while in Columbia la: week. The House was engage [ in a "filibuster" as to how lor [ the members would stay i home after adjourning Satu p day night and the Senate wj } engaged in listening to a debai , on the bill requiring life insu ' ance companies to invest in th . state their reserve from pol cies written in South Carolin Very little in the way of coi structive legislation has bee | introduced so far, in eith? house. There appears in this issue notice of an election in Pleasar Plain school district, No. 33. fc an election to determine whetl er an additional 2 mill levshall be made in the distric Wt are glad to note the educj Itional spirit which seems t anin ate the whole county.
