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

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

next fall will mark a most Impor- \

The exposition is of nation-wide 1
importance, and timely. It will not t
be a celebration, like other large '
expositions. It looks forward?
pointing the way to better conditions.
It is in line with the advanced
thought of the day. It will
stand second to no enterprise of j
recent years as an agency for the
promotion of the general welfare. .
, The great plans and purposes of 1
this exposition are being carried i
out for the benefit of the whole people
and of posterity.?From state- ?
ment made by W. M. Goodman, Di- J
rector General of Exposition. I
f
pSHBoiriiave been taught. Many lessens
remain to be learned; there is
Rtil! mirnh in the land and in the meth- -
Dds of its best cultivation still to be *
taught. Land shows are, compara- j;
l tively speaking, a new institution,
j They have done much to educate the
people.
The conservation of the soil of the
| United States is one of the greatest
projects undertaken in this twentieth
! century of progress.
I And the Land Show at the National *
Conservation is going to exemplify the I
piost advanced thought along these t
lines. i
Building Is All Ready. \
The new Land Building on the beau- c
tifyl exposition grounds of the Na- c
j tional Conservation Exposition is comi
pleted. It stands on a terrace; it is "
beautiful in design, beautiful in execution.
In the rear of the building is an
auditorium that will seat 3,000 persons.
The building is spacious and
v:as constructed especially for the
| Land Show and all that goes with it.
On the lower floor of the big white
building the land companies and the
land departments of the various rail- "j
roads will have their displays. On the "
upper floors will be the educational
exhibits, and these will include the exhibits
of the different experiment stations
of the United States Department
of Agriculture in the Southern states.
Mr. Farmer, here are a few of the
thmgs that are going to interest you
when you pay your visit to the National
Conservation Exposition and the
Land Show in the Fall:

Wilson Writes Blease.
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. Blease,
Columbia, South Carolina.
