For the First Time Department Will Let Stock for Exhibit j be Sent From Free Area. * Cleuison College, Sept. 'J.'l. ? For the! tlrst time since rattle tiek regulations were put into force by the Federal I)e- j part men t of Agriculture, .cattle from tick free territory will he exhibited at the State Fair. In Columbia, this full. : This Is In accordance with Order No. j 21!) of the I'. S. Iturcau of Animal j Industry, recently received by 1 >r. W.'j K. Lewis, Inspector in charge of cat- J tie tick eradication in South Carolina, i with headquarters at Clemson College. ! This order prescribes conditions under , which cattle from free tick territory j may be exhibited at Columbia. ?I?oetor Lewis states that he has in , formation of owners of tine stock in North Carolina and Virginia, who are planning to ship cattle to Columbia to exhibit at the State Fair. This in ?Tease In the area from which exhibits may be drawn is expected to add much to the live stock section of the State Fair. The new arnmgement Is made possible now because though Kirhlaml county Is still under quarantine, Doc tor Lewis has established an interstate shipping station at Columbia and lias cleared up a sutllclent territory around the Fair grounds to insure protection against the cattle tick for all cattle exhibited. In complying with Order No. i!lll. separate disinfected chutes will have to be provided at Columbia for the ex clusive unloading and loading of the stock from free territory, and the cat tle must 1?^ hauled from the cars to the Fair < i rounds in clean., disinfected wagons. ? All hay. straw and similar materials used for feed and bedding by the cat- j tie While they are iti the quarantined j area shall be non-infectious and shall originate outside the quarantined area ami be shipped in clean and disinfect- 1 ed cars. i The cattle must l>e returned to their homes in disinfected ears and must l?e accompanied by a certificate issued ' ? by an inspector of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, showing that they have had no opportunity to become infected with the cattle tick. ? > ?

Such men are found ev erywhere In life; you 'note them In ev ery business other, in ?very shop aud io all other walks of life. "The cot toi?' growing Interests of thv South are t ly a considerable extent in the xlt nation of thix awakened man. in this xeetlon there are many cotton planterx matching in ability and in en ergy the hext business men of any sec tion. Thexe men can shape their own business to meet emergencies Just as well ax the merchant, the manufactur er or the hanker, hut there are tens of thousands of small farmers thru out the South wlio have concentrated alt their thought and energy upon growing .cotton. They knttw nothing else, and tlioy have never been awak ened by some great and overpowering xlt nation to be driven to do new things. This situation is now upon them. Their cotton is temporarily not in demand, even at a lower price than the cost of not in demand production. This situa tion will adjust Itself In tl^ie, but they face the condition that flic wftlTd will he short of foodstuffs for the next twelve months at least. "With Hourly .'ill of Europe involv f? I In a war which is withdrawing from work nearly twice as ninny peo ple as all engaged in agricultural pur suits In the I'lilted States, the farms of Europe will to a largo extent go uii cultivated, u ii?l yet the men engaged in this struggle inujUt he fed. Millions of them withdrawn from the farms are suddenly made mnsuairrs Instead of producers of fannstuflfs. In this un precedented condition it Is essential that the I'nlted States should very largely increase Its food .supply. It 'must do this in order to help to keep Kuroi?e from starving and to provide the foodstuffs for our own i>eople so that they may not have to hear the burden of almost prohibitive prices. "In the South this condition cuts two ways ? It lessens the demand for the Smith's cotton and reduces the price and it increases largely the price that the South must pay for the food stulYs it buys elsewhere, it is doubly Important, therefore that the South should give Its attention as never be fore r<> the raising its own foodstuffs and tn an extent as great as possible raising foodstuffs for shipment else where. 10 very Southern farmer, if he will go at it properly ran raise more or less train for his own needs, and a large proportion of them can raise enough In addition for sale elsewhere. They can all Increase tlieir production of potatoes and majket supplies ; they can Increase their poultry, their hogs ami other livestock, They can learn to live at home, and in doing so develop an initiative and bring into active play all the reserve force that Is In them. "It behooves the hankers and the merchants who are In touch with the farmers of the South to preach this doclriuc so vigorously and persistent ly that every farmer will, during the coming 12 months at least, raise food stuffs enough to supply his own needs, while millions of them could raise in addition to that enough to have a sur plus for sale. "It should not he overlooked in study ing the farm situation of the South that Maryland, the Virginias, Kentuc ky, Tennessee. Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas are already large producers of wheat, while the whole South has for some years been increasing its pro duction of corn. It is, therefore, not a new thing that Is l>elng forced upon the South by the necessities of the times when the farmers of this faction are urged to diversify their crops and raise food, Th?y are 11 1 ready doing It to a large extent., hut all of must do ft, and tho*e who are now doing It should do It to a Mtlll larger extent t'oatly as this ex|H*rleuce l*r to the cot ton-growing section of the Mouth, that section will he re|aild for all that It now loses If the present condition* drive ?

In the little town of Monroe, Louis iana, lived the family of Enos Haag, iiikI about thirty-seven years ago there came to grace the family a son, and this son was named Ernest Haag; and as soon as he could even play with toys, pet playthings were the toy ani mals his parents and neighbors had Kiven him. .When he grew older, his play days were. sjM*nt playing circus and "show, and when he was fortunate, enough to see one of the circuses that visited his own home, he would elab orate on it in his own way, and, so it went on until he was "1ft years old. He then secured a position with one of the large circuses in an executive capacity, returning home at the finish of the season with one, thought, to have a show of his own that would be recognized by the circus king, also a Southern show for Southern people. The following spring he* bought a flat boat and organized a small show, float ing down the Ked River- on the flat boat, playing the small towns on the river front. He next bought a few wagons, and started an overland show, every year enlarging and getting new features and with ever that one idea and ambition, to give his friends, the public, the best money could procure, successful management suggest and brains devise. Every year Mr. Hang enlarged his show until it became too large to travel on wagons. It was then transposed to a railroad show \vlth its i\\vn speoial trains. In the eighteen years' history of this enterprise each year has been an un explained growth and increase in size over the preceding one, and. this year has been no exception to the rule. Mr. Haag has always had three principal objects in view, namely: cleanliness, honesty, and hind treatment to all. Mr ITaag claims the distinction of being the only Southern gentleman owning and controlling a Southern^ show. ' Haag shows will exhibit at Camden, i Thnrsdav, Oct. 8th. ? advertisement. I " ?
