Was Ed De Camp the guy
that put the "gaff" in Gaffney?
Lent, which begins today,
will not start so early again until
2008.
Can The Spartanburg Herald
tell who put the "green" in
Greenville ?
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.

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.

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

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

Wt are glad to note the educj
Itional spirit which seems t
