Wright, attorney and bus one of the men directing af Exposition Planned for Who / The country is facing grave problems, the solution of which must come from a clear understanding of conditions, and immediate action. The work of man in dealing with the fbrests and soils, which were given for use, and not for abuse, may aptly be compared to the work of smaller forms of life, such as the boll-weevil and army worm*. The K : great creator, probably views it in this .light Devastation is apparent on every hand, in denuded hills and galled, and gullied..fields. For this reason and for many Others the National Conservation exposition to be held at Knoxville GREATEST OF ALL > I Land Show at Conservation Exposition Will Set a ,, New Mark WHAT A BUSINESS MAN SAID i Nothing Like Display in This Depart- j ment of Big National Exposition Ever Has Been Attempted in the | Country Before?Lessons for Farm- I CPS. I j E D. Stratton, land and industrial agent of the Cincinnati, New Orleans ,& Texas Pacific and the Alabama Gieat Southern railroads, paid his first visit a few days ago to the grounds upon which the big National Conservation Exposition will be held in KnoxviJle from September 1 to November 1 of the present year. He went to Knoxville with a party of other railroad men. After his visit to the grounds, after he saw what had been done and what WL>i being done in preparation for the exposition, he expressed himself in this wise: "To say that I was most favorably Impressed would be to put it mildly. N I had no idea that such a site for an exposition could be found anywhere in tills country. I had no idea of the extent and character of the buildings already up, and I was delighted to see such good progress being made in the election of the big new buildings." ) "Will your roads be represented by a land exhibit?" he was asked. ~ "They will," he replied, positively. "I hey could not afford to be unrepresented." This was a hard-headed man of business speaking. He had seen. That was enough for him. His decision was made. Greatest cf All Land Shov/s. At this early date this statement can be made positively and without fear of contradiction: THE LAND SHOW AT THE NATIONAL CONSERVATION EXPOSITION IS GOING TO EE, NOT ONLY THE GREATEST LAND SHOW EVER SEEN IN 'THE SOUTH, BUT THE "GREATEST LAND SHOW EVER SEEN ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. Land primarily is the basis of all wealth. Much has been learned about land in recent years, rnary lemons r?

President Wilson addressed a letter o Gov. Blease informing him that he vould request the department of inernal revenue to advise him on the easibility and the law in the matter )f withdrawing federal licenses to dispense liquors in South Carolina. The president stated that the matter is 'most important." On June 9, Governor Blease wrote a letter to President Woodrow Wilson requesting him to take up the matter 3f the issuance of revenue licenses in this state. He cited to the president the local option dispensary law operating in eight counties of this state; and took the position that if revenue licenses were issued only to the dispensaries, which are the only institutions authorized under the state statutes to selling intoxicating liquors and beverages, much of the illicit dispensing of liquor would be stopped in tnis state. In case there is a federal law requiring the issuance of revenue licenses, Governor Blease requested bhe president to send a special message to the congress requesting such law that will prevent the anamolous condition of the United States trov eminent sanctioning the illicit sale of Liquor in "dry" territory. President Wilson's letter to Gov. Blease follows: June 12. 19P3. My Dear Governor Blease:. Tbe matter to which yon call my ittention in your letter of Jane 9 is nost important. I,shall with pleasure .ake it up at once with the proper officials here, and shall request that ;hey advise me in the matter imroedi.tcly. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Woodrow Wilson. Elon. C. L.
