Congress from South Carolina anc
chairman of the agricultural committee
of the House.
| The plan of J. N. Kirvcn, president
tof the South Carolina Agricultural

^greatest Fair in the South in 1915
'.was enthusiastically received in al
I quarters. The Columbia Chamber o1
Commerce has endorsed the plan as
outlined by President Kirven and s
big mass meeting is to be held in CoJtumbia
November 23, when every cit

(in the movement. President Kirver
plans to hold the Fail* for two weeks

I broad scope and ample funds, will be
raised to offer handsome prizes in every
department.
^There was a large crowd at tin
( Fair. All of the exhibits were caret
fully inspected and greatly admiret
by the several thousand who went tc
Bf Columbia.
^B The fact that cotton was absent
B,1 from the exhibits was generally commented
on by the visitors. The cx^B

V. W. !.o:ip:, state ager.t for the
ited States farm demonstration
rk and director of the Clomson Cole
extension work, gave out a statent
in which he praises the work of
5 county agents in assembling the
ignificent displays and thinks thr
mors for their splendid spirit of
operation. ,
His statement follows:
'The generous remarks of Or Wade
ackhouse, which you published in
is mornings' issue, were, needless to
very gratifying. The commcndam
of a man of such judgment is
ry much worth having. T am confined,
however, to request that you
11 give me space in which to make
o of two explanations.
"In the first place, 1 feel keenly that
have been given too much personal
edit in this matter, especially in Dr.
ackhouso's statement. I am very
rger to have the people of South
irolina understand that it is not to
e that the credit for this exhibition
longs, but to the men in the field,
e county demonstration agents.
Demonstration Agents
"The county demonstration acent is
{he foundation and the corner-stone of
all of our work, Everything that we
\do has to he done through him. If the
[work is successful, if our ends are
(achieved, it must he because the counity
agent has been faithful. The enitire
structure must stand or fall with
Mru. I canot resist at this point to
add a word or two respecting these
[men. Through trained in the theory
pnd practice of agriculture, they are
iHevoting their lives t-o a work which
Lbecause it is theirs and not .mine?
If can, without boastfulness, describe
Ls one of the greatest f&ot**rs in the
|&jtnomic system of South Carolina.
1 "There i$ .another point to which I
uat direct your attention. While
won by the mission in the forty years
. between 1856 and 1896. In one district,
in 191S, 2,600 persons registered
their names as applicants for baptism
who could not be given the necessary
in struction, because of the lack of
workers. By registering in this way
| they have the first claim to teach
ing preliminary to baptism.

WITH SMILING FACE SHE TELLS
STORY OF THE KILLING OF
MRS. BAILEY.
WAS EXTREMELY JEALOUS
Tells Prosecutor She Was Suspicious
of Her Husband For a Long Time,?
Was Told He Was^a Devil With the
Girls.
Our readers will recall the kiling
of Mrs. Louise Bailey by Mrs. Floren
ee Conklin Carman during last Summer,
the circumstances of the killing
appearing in this paper at the time.
She, Mrs. Carman, was on trial for
this killing at Mineola, N. Y., last
week and smilingly stepped on the
witness stand to face the district attorney.
She appeared cheerful and re
freshed and said she was ready to answer
all question District Attorney
Smith might ask her, no matter what
they were.
She faced the crowded court room.
Among the 200 or more spectators
who occupied every available bit of
space were long time friends and
neighbors, whose faces were wreathed
with hopeful smiles as she began her
story. Ranged directly opposite
chair, within the enclosure and less
than a dozen steps away, were the
I mother, the daughter and husband of
the woman whose life the State asserts
she took.
i This little group of school-girl
grand-mother and middleaged man
followed with intense eagerness every
j word of her testimony.
I Just before the defendant took the
chair she crossed overto her mother,
Mrs. Conklin, sitting at the counsel
** * "
taoie, leaned oyer and kissed her. *
"Mrs. Carman," bqgan the district
attorney, "you said you were suspicious
of your husband. When did you
get suspicious?"
"About a year ago."
What caused her suspicions, she
could not say. A woman did not
cause it, "just rumors."
"Were the rumors about a woman?'
j "No. Just some one asking him
about his girls. Somebody told me he
was a devil with the girls."
She could not recall who told her
this, or where or when. At Mr Smith's
bidding^ she named many men friends
of Dr. Carman, but could not name
one of them as having said, "How
are all your girls?"
"Somebody was asking him that
question all the time,' she said. They
were jesting I thought at first, but after
a while I thought maybe there
might be some truth in what they
said. They would say to me, "The
doctor is some devil.' "
"Did you have an inclination to
hear what the doctor had to say to
his women patients?"
"In a way, yes. Some of his patients."
"Did you ask wV>-e he was when he
was out all night ?"
"Yes; and he t dd me."
"Did you believe him?"
"Yes; sometimes."
"Did your suspicions increase with
time ?"
"They increased right up to the
time of the murder. All have been
dispelled now."
"How long have you been in that
frame of mind?"
"Ever since the terrible tragedy.
What I heard, or rather what I didn't
hear over the tv lephone instrument,
reassured me."
For several minutes Mrs. Carman
i- 1- - -1-*--- . ...
wuf-iii tu uvtiue a direct answer to the
district attorney's question as to
whether she thought her husband was
truthful. Finally she answered "No."
She explained she had no real reason
to doubt him, however. She was suspicious
at first of the women who called
frequently at his office; finally she
was suspicious of nearly all of his
women callers.
"1 got tired of hearing things," she
said.
"And the fact that a woman would
come to his office afterwards was
enough to make you suspicious?
Were you suspicious of your husband
or the women?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Both," said Mrs. Carman firmly.
Some women, Mrs. Carman said,
were more attractive to her husband
than she was, she had thought. She
did not know if there were more than
one, but she wanted to find out.
"I had no particular woman in
mind," she said.
Mr. Smith asked if she thmifrht Mrs
O"- "
Varance, the middle-aged nurse whose
face she slapped, was more attractive
than she. Mrs. Carman smiled and
answered "No."
Under the rapid volley of the district
attorney's pitiless questions, Mrs
Carman's color rose and fell. She bit
her lips; she clinched her gloved
hands often. She appeared to be

about to faint, but her smelling; salts

She was made to describe the entire
scene with Mrs. Varance. She said
she saw Dr. Carman give the nurse
$15 and saw her kiss him afterwards.
It was the passing of the money and \
not the kiss that disturbed her. she 1
said.
"You didn't object to another wo- (
man kissing your husband in grati- 1
tude?" 1
"Oh, no," replied Mrs. Carman.
"How long after the passing of the *
money was the kiss administered?" '
"A few minutes. They were sitting *
down alongside each other at the *
time."
Mrs. Carman said she did not rap J
on the window when the kiss was given,
but waited until Mrs, Varance *
started to leave the office. J
"You went pretty fast around the .
lawn to get to the door before Mrs. 1
Varance didn't you?"
"Yes."
In reply to an inquiry, Mrs. Carman
indicated that she slapped Mrs. Varan j
ce with the back of her hand.
Mistrial in Carman Case.
Mineola, N. Y., Oct. 25.?The jury *
in the case of Mrs. Florence Conklin
C
Carman, Charged with the murder of "
Mrs. Louise Bailey, failed to reach a
verdict after 13 hours and ten minutes
of deliberation. At 10:55 a. m.,
today it reported its inability to agree
and was discharged.
Ten are said to have voted for ac- ^
ouittal and two for conviction of runr
(lor in the first degree on the final bal- ^
lot. The jury was out about 15 hours. ^
District Attorney Lewis J. Smith
said tonight it was unlikely that Mrs.
Carman would ever be brought to trial ,
again. .
The Printer Man's Plea. I
Tell me, ye winged winds,

Is there no place on earth
Where printers get their pay?

A voice borne on the sorrowing air
In sadness answered "No,"

Tell me, ye flowing streams i
That smoothly glide along, ]
Is there one checrishcd place, 1
. Where printers meet no wrong? I
The gentle brook replied, i
In murmurs soft and low, 1
And winding on its verdant way 1
It meekly answered, "No." <
?
Tell me, hard-hearted man,
Withholding day by day, i
Is there no honor in thy breast \
The printer's bill to pay?
Unanswcring turns he 'round? I
How plain his actions show;
His actions answer, "No." :

Tell me, ye gentle nyniphs, i
Who bless life's hours through, I
Is there one sacred shrine ^

A mantling blush her cheek suffused
Did tenfold grace impart,
A soft responsive sigh replied,
" 'Tis found in woman's heart."
Tell me, angelic hosts, I
Ye messengers of love, ]

WILSON S INTELLECTUALITY
ro This Senator John Sharp William
Attributes the President's Great
Success.
"Firmness, consistency and courage*
ill enlightened by a high degress o
ntclligence."
This is the brief summing up of th<
:auses of President Wilson's sucees
is made by Senator John Sharp Wil
iams, of Mississippi. Never given t<
;austic, epigrammatic, but with i
lattery, caustic, epigrammatic, bu
with a keen faculty of observation
:he Missiasippian's estimate of an;
public men, even one of hia onwn par
:y, ia always unprejudiced. In discus
jing the President it is but natura
hat Senator Williams' first though
should be of Mr. Wilspn's remarkabh
ntellectuality. Impatient of dullness
VIr. Williams is peculiarly appreciat
ve of a keen, forceful mind.
"I know of no public man in recen
fears who possessses the intellectua
'orce of Woodrow Wilson," said Sena
on Williams. "He possesses a min<
ike a diamond drill. Once it is turn
id on a subject it probes to the hot
,om with a force and definniteness no
;o be denied. He is able to look at an.
aibject from any angle, and by tin
ime he has studied it carefully he ha:
nastered it in every detail.
"Time and again he has proven thi:
,o members of the Senate and Housi
vho have conferred with him on pend
ng legislation. He has surprised mer
>y his faculty of taking up a compara
ively new subject, and in a little
vhile knowing more about it thai
nany men who have studied it foi
fears..
"Added to his keenness is an abso
utely integrity of intellect. The wisl
s never father to the thought witl
iVoodrow Wilson. No matter how th<
landling of a public question may af
feet his popularity, no matter wha
ho political cfVect, he always views :
question honestly, and once ho deter
mines upon the proper disposition o
it ho carries out his plans with in
flexible determination.
"Some of his critics have said tha
lie lacked feeling', that he is absolutel;
old. In this they are wrong*. Per
sonally, he is an extremely warm
liearted man, but as a public ollicia
lie puts his duty far above his owi
personal feelings, his own ambition
ind the feelings of this or that poli
tician who may be hurt or may fee
that he will be hurt. In the handlinj
if public affairs the President is lik
i highly efficient physician or surgeoi
lie studies his patient, locates will
unerring accuracy the cause of th
trouble and with quickness and dis
oatch administers the cure or per
forms the operation.
"The patient may think him coh
and heartless at first, but when h
finds how miraculous is the physic
an's diagnosis, how sure and effect iv<
:ho cure and how promptly he got
veil, he praises God for having sen
aim such a man."
