COMES SOUTH fi EsUklisk a isdcl Fir. is the Ckariestti Diftlrict Ss?s SOU SECOND TO NONE General Manager of the National Corn Exposition Will Purchase ! Several Thousand Acres Near Char leston and Will Induce White Set tlers to Clear and Cultivate Laud. The News and Courier Bays It ^s authoritatively announed that Prof. George H. Stevenson, general mana ger of the National Cora Exposition, will locate in the Charleston district In the near future for the purpose of operating a model farm colony. Prof. Stevenson, who 1b reputed to be one of the largest corn growers la the' Western Hemisphere, was in Charleston and surrounding territory last March, at a time when the ques tion of choosing the next place* for the 1913 Corn Exposition first came ?P* H<%rwas* immediately impressed with tfee vast opportunities presented In this district to the agriculturist, and did not hesitate to say at the time that the soil here was Becond to none In the United States. Prof. Stevenson Is known to pos sess extensive farm lands In the Wes tern States and ? had grown rich through the raising of corn. He Is. however, so enthusiastic with the prospects in South Carolina, and par ticularly In the Charleston district, that he will shortly make his home here. It Is now understood that he Is now negotiating for the purchase of about 3,000 aores between Charles ton and ?Summerville, on which he expects to build up and maintain a model farm colony. On the occasion of his visit some time ago to Charleston Prof. Stev enson stated that he had hlH own pet ideas as to the operation of a large farm. He Is a firm believer In Intensive farming and thinks that the climate, and soil of South Carolina are peculiarly adapted for this. Af ter purchasing his land he will Induce from twenty to thirty thrifty white settlers to take portions of the tract and lmedlately begin extensive drainage operation. The settlers will all be men of means and experience and will there fore be able to get down to work in a comprehensive and systematic man ner without losing too much time. The latest machinery will be used on the model farm, as well as the. latest ideas in the agricultural world. High grade stock of every description will be purchased and raided. As Prof. Stevenson expects to raise corn (along ertenslve lines, he will have the corn, both in quality and quan tity, to feed his cattle. Prof,. Stevenson Is expected to vis it Charleston 1 nthe r.^ar future for the .purpose of, perfecting his plans aa?i?tiBaaraa&|?g the model farm col lie National ?..l!dent: tt. G. Mont gomery, of Llnoln, Neb., first vice president.. The board of directors all live tn the Middle West. TVhe fact that the nig corn show (I coming to South Carolina Is recog nised as a big tfilng for the entire 8tate, and as a big thing for Charles ton and the whole coast country as for any other part of the State. The railroads will make special rates for he *how-~the lowest rates into South Carolina that they have ever made; and it Is expected that all these tick ets will be good for a journey to any part of the State. Thus the men who go ta Columbia to see the Corn Ex position may come right down to Ohbhlevton wlbhout any extra ex pense to then^elves. KILLED AT A FROLIC. I I ? i ?

Colombia Correspondent Asked to Resign From Governor's Staff, But He Refuses to Do 80. Leon M. Green, Columbia corre spondent for the News and Courier, ba* refuped to accede to tbe demands of his newspaper that he resign au appointment recently received upon the Btaff o' Governor Blease and says he will riftigu as correspondent : Immediately. Ills resignation will bo handed to the head of the News and Courier's Columbia bureau, Au gust Kohn, upon the latter's return thiB week from a Canadian tour. . . "I resign under pressure," snld Mr. Green. "I can net comply with the demand made oji me. When 1 was appointed on the Governor's staff I accepted because of the honor, and I know that the position was given In the right spirit. For the paper I represented to seek to tell me that I should resign either from the paper or from the governor's staff waB, In "'y ?P'nIon, an encroachment upon my personal rights. "I felt that I could still remain on the governor's staff, ag 1 have always sought to give unbiased reports of official acts of the chief executive of the State. "The position taken by the paper appears to me, and I have no doubtt will so appear to many others in the State, untenable, for the particular reason that the position occupied here for the paper was that solely of a nows correspondent. I had nothing whatever to do with the editorial pol icy of he paper. What I have been sending to the papers I represent was the news <f the day here ? nothing more." Mr. Green Monday night gave out the letter below which he stated had been written him by Robert La than. the editor of' the News and Courier. Mr. Lathan said last night lh;tt he had nothing to say concern ting the matter. Mr. Lathan's lotter to Mr. Green is as follows: "Mr. Leon M. Green, Columbia. 8. C. Dear 'Mr. Green: I have Just re ceived your letter of July 20 and re eret very much to learn of your de termination to remain on the stafT of the governor rather than on that of The News and Courier. "As I wrote Mr. Kohn, I do not re gard it as proper for a newspaper correspondent to hold two such posi tions at the same time; my under standing of the matter being that the acceptance of an appointment as 0116 of a governor's aides entails upon the person accepting it a responsibility of doing all that ho can to uphold whatever the governor may do. "I think it should bo a rule of the paper that no one of its staff should occupy any position which might ex pose him to the criticism that his im partiality might be affected, whether suoh criticism be well founded or mot. ? '8 the desire of the News and Courlorto do every public official nnd Impartially, and 'order to do so J think tho above men tioned rule a good one. "It Is true that Mr. Kohn was at one time an aide to a governor but that was before I became editor of ,the paper. "I appreciate your offer to look after matters connected with the bu reau until Mr. Kohn returns, but perhaps It would -be better to con tinue the present arrangement until that time, allowing Mr. Horton to cover whatever may happen, as he has been doing since you have been away from Columbia. "Let me repeiat to you personally what I have already said to Mr. Kohn as head of the bureau, that the News and Courier appreciates the general excellence of the service you have Kivn It during the period of your connection with the paiper, and that I am genuinely sorry that you have chosen to take a stand In this matter, a most important one as I see It, to which this paper can not give Its In dorsement. "Yours truly, "Robert Lathan." I t t A FIEND LYNCHED. Ho Attempted nn Assault on a Young Woman; Following an attempt to assault a young woman in Mount Croghan, a small town near Cheraw, a negro from North Carolina, whoso name has not been learned, Is bellevod to have been lynched. Tho attempt at assault wan com mitted at. noon (Monday, nnd all day and part, of Tuesday parties of fren zied men searched the woods for the criminal. Parties of men returning Tuesday morning were non-committal as to whether the negro was caught or not, but it Is thought from the hearing of the pursuers, that the negro was captured and put to death in the woods somewhere. The victim of the attempted as sault Is one of the most prominent and well connectod young women of that section, and the crime stirred u>p unusual excitement And anger. flherlff Douglass, of Chesterfield County, was on the scene and sought to capture the negro, but was .in successful.

YOUNGER MAN NEEDED Recent Development* In the Depart* iuent of Agricultute Indicate that the Secretary is Lacking In Execu tive Strength, Due Probably to the Encroachment*! of Age. " 4 Because of repeated developments *n tho Agrlclltdral Departmnet at Washington indicating that the exec utive grip upon it Is weak, the Im pression is growing that Its venera ble head, Secretary Wilson, Is feel ing the encroachments of ago to such an extent that he is incapable of handling" the complicated machin ery of his great dtpartment with effi ciency. Tho Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says it is being said with a good deal of freedom in semi-official circles that some of the luost embarrassing troubles that have afflicted the administration might have been avoided if Secretary Wil son had supervised with the proper alertness and posltiveneaa the various bureaus in which trouble has oc curred. In several Important Instances It looks as the venerable Secretary has been unaware of what has been going on under his very nose, and only when a veritable explosion occurs does ho arise to the necessity of do ing something to show his authority Mid accept his responsibility. First, there was the Pinchot afTair. The bureau of forestry is a subsid iary of the department of agricul ture. It was built up into one of the leading branches of tho Government undei*? tho direction of tho former chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, and no ouo regarded the development with greater satisfaction than the Hon. Joremiah Wilson. When the Taft administration changed the policy of the Interior de partment and Mr, Balllnger got to work to kill snakes" there is rea son to believe that the Secretary of Agriculture still sided with Pinchot and that the latter had hLs chief's ap proval in a number of acts that at tracted the ire of tho new Secro tard of the Interior. Bait when It was evident that the President was aggressively backing the Rallinger policy, and that if the secretary of /? gricu'.ture did not disavow the do ings of Pinchot there wonld probably be a new man holding the agricultur al portfolio, Mr. Wilson dropped Pin chot lite a hot potato. Secretary Wilson followed the same course with regard to Dr. Wil ey, of the bureau of chemistry. When the policy of safe-guarding tho pub lic against injuriously "doped" food rroducts and beverages was being de veloped, nobody enjoyed It more than the Secretary of Agriculture. But when the flght came to a crisis and the "interests" looked about ?hem for some wajr\of stopping the assault on tenzoate of soda as a preservative, Secretary Wilson raised no objection. In the present efTort to drive Dr. Wiley out of the government service, Secretary Wlit>on has been revealei in an attitude of ignortnie or of vac illation by no means creditable to him. He must recommend some course of action to the Presi dent with regard to the technical er ror In which Dr. Wiley haa been ap prehended and the task Is oppressing 'he Secretary unspeakably. Another possibility of trouble for the Serretary is found in tho charges preferred against the chief of the weather bureau, Mr. Willis L. .Toore, who seems to have done some thing like that which is ascribed to Dr. Wiley. It is said that Mr. 'Moore hired earthquake experts out of the emer gency fund,, which technically should not be used for such a purpose. Com ing at this time, the 'Moore charge tends to embarasB the Secretary if he I* disposed to agree lwth the Attor ney General that Dr. Wiley should leave tho service. If Dr. Wiley, why not also Dr. Moore. But the most conclusive evidence of the Secretary's lack to grasp upon the sftuatioh is the fact that an es timate of the size of the forthcoming 'Top of ootton was published by his department and given to the press without his knowledge or approval. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, who is one of the leaders of the southern Cotton Growers Association wont to see Mr. Wilson the other day to protest against tho policy of the department permitting such guesses to be given out with Its nuthorlty, causing great demorlllzatlon In the cotton market and giving great Im petus to speculation against the far mers' Interest. The Secretary told the Senator that hefthe Secretary) had not been ap prised of the alleged estimate and that Is was without hlB sanction or warrant of law, and that an estimate had been published by tho depart ment It should never be done again. ? The estimate wns published, of course, and Mr. Wilson's statement In tho premises simply shows how much has been going o- under his nominal supervision without his real ly khowlng any more about It than If ho were at tho North Pole. Senator Smith will Introduce a res olution calling upon Mr. Wilson to Inform Congress whether or not his department did Issue the advance es timate attributed to It In the news papers; If so, why such an estimate was permitted; and what fluctuations In the cotton market have followed *he publication of tho esltmate. There Is no telling what may grow out of this Incident, emphasizing as l? does the looseness with which the depigment of agriculture Is being operated under the existing system of control.

WILL CHEAPEN GOODS Some of the Benefits that the Reel procity Agreement with Ctanoda Will Confer on the Great Mass of Consumers in the Cities and Towns and Country, In presenting* the prospective ben efits of the reciprocal trade agree ment between the United States and Canada, It Is necessary to consider that under the present tariff law many of the duties have been whol ly prohibitive. Tho present amount of Importation or the present Income to the United States through the me dium of the custom house is, ex cept In a few Instances, no index to the future trade in any particular ar ticle or commodity. The restrictions of the past re moved, certain articles, to-day only nominally upon the list of imports from the United States into Canifaa and from Canada Into tho United States, must, In the Immediate fu ture bocome Important articles of trade in one direction or the other and in some Instances in both direc tions. The following are among the important changes in the present trade conditions with Canada, which the agreement ratified by the bill passed will put into effect at once. The question, then, Is What will rec iprocity accomplish? It will 1. Admit to the United States free of d ti t y articles to the value of $39, 811,560 under which the' Payne-Ald rich tariff law there is now a duty. In return Canada by a remission of her duties, will admit free, products of tho United States to tho value of $21,957,605, according to tho sta tistics for last year obtainable for purposes of calculation. 2. Place upon tho free list wheat, rye, oata, barley, buckwheat, dried peas and beans, and corn upon which the United States at present Imposes -i varying schedule of duties ranging from ten cents per bushel for rye to 45 cents per bushel for dried beans. All this benefit to the consumer being accomplished at a revenue cost to tho United States of less thnn $300,000. 3. Place upon the freo list cattle, horses, mules, sheep and swine at present dutiable at rates approxi mately 25 per cent., but at a revenue cost to the United States of less than $275,000. 4. Place upon the free list vegeta bles of all sorts, Including potatoes, cabbageB, onions, sweet potatoes and yams, now taxed at from 25 cents to 40 cents per bushel, and all other fresh vegetables not enumerated at 2 5 per cent advalorem, and at a coat to the United States of $380,000. 5.
