BRING THK CORN SHOW. A determined movement has been on foot to bring the National Corn Show to Columbia next year. It is nss essary to s'ato that the National Corn Show Is the biegest th.nz of its kind held In tho Cnlted States. It will be held this year at Columbus. Ohio, from the 1st to the 1-th of February. Last year there were L*2.000 exhibits and X50,000 given in prizes. Over a hundred thousand people attended Its a mammoth affair from every stand point. It is devoted to the exposition of the methods of growing this most important of all cereals and cl the us es to Which it Is put. In such expo sitions lie the secreto of the success that ha.s been attained by the Ameri can farmer and from which are ga thered those valuable ideas that are bringing the farmer to the envied po sition that he now occupies. The movement to bring the Cora show to Columbia grew out of the successful South Carolina Corn Show, which was held in Columbia in De cember. While the benefit derived from thi-> show, both from the les rona taught to the farmers and through the advertising value, can no* he overestimated, this great Nation al Corn Shosv would entirely over shadow It In the results that would accrue, 'u the Ais' ;>lare H will bring the people of the Middle West and the South into closer contact, that they might interchange ideas. The Vesternc.-s can teach the Southern ers something and the Southerners can teach the Westerners equally as I much. This has been proved by Miej great strides made In corn culture in So-ith C-rolina In tho pftp? ,'ow years. Resides the educational ad van-1 la'Rt.s, there \- ?.i'c advertising force of such on exposition. South Caro lina has been widely advertised, tlir-.ugh tin papers and magazines for the past year on account of its phertomlnal coin yields and now If these Westerners, many of whom are now ready to seek new homes, could he given the opportunity to see with :lheir own eyes the vast possibilities*)! the South Carolina soil and Climate, inestimable benefit would be derived. The wide publicity given the Corn Show will at the same time give much advertising to the South. It Is unnec essary to recount other great advant ages of the Exposition corning to South Carolina and the So ith Atlantic ?tates. None can deny the wisdom of gett ing It to Columbia If we can get it. Of course It will be a big thing for *V?lum,bIa, but In forwarding at this time the claims of Columbia we are fat-warding the claims of the whole South-east. We must have the Corn Show. Rut the question Is how to get It. The most convincing argument to be put before the Corn Show official will be the presence of a large dele gation of South Carolinians to put forth the claims and advantages ot the supposed place or meeting. It must be conclusively shown that the South wants tho Exposition, that we are a corn-growing people and that Columbia is capable o? giving a suit able building and other uccomodations. j Definite steps weer taken to have a delegation sent at a meeting of the ficeretar'rii of the different commercial organizations of South Carolina, held at Columbia Monday. Sec. W. R. Mc Cuen of the Laurens Chamber of Com merce, attende and returned with a glowing account of tho meeting, of the addresses which hp beard and the plans for the delegation to the Corn 8how. Mr. McCuen stated that a plan was put on foot to Bend a delegation of thirty men of South Carllna to the Corn Show. This delegation will go in a special car decorated with pal metto leaxes and other South Caro lina emblems. A. D. Hudson, of New berry, will head the delegation and formally Invite the Corn Show to meet in Columbia next year. Here is the point. Laurens county should have one man, or more, in this delegation. It was proposed at that meeting Monday, that a volunteer be called on from each county to go along and mixing pleasure with pro fit, pull for the interests of his State. He lt> to pay his owu expenses, esti mated to be around $00. He is to be the official representative of his coun ty and to see that the claims of his county are put forward at the Corn Show. This volunteer is wanted from some section of Laurens county. Doubtless several would want to go and these are wanted as the official representatives. >'ow, the name of this volunteer is wanied by the Cham ber of Commerce of Laurens. Any one who will vluutcer to go and rep resent this county is requested to send in his name to Cec. McCuen at once that the proper appointment may lie made. If the name Is sent to this office, we will see to it thut It goes to the proper place. This Is a very ini|>ortant matter and tt Is hoped that some progressive man of Laurens county will put in his name to go. Send it In now. Its going to be u fine trip. >"cws at Jones.
