Secretary of Noted American Quer use y Cattle Club Now in Columbia, Pays High Tribute to Natural Advantages of the south. Columbia Record. "I consider the South the one rap? idly developing section of the United States; but her resources can yet be expanded a hundredfold. One thing this section, blessed b> nature as she is. can develop Is the dairying indus? try. There is vast profit in dairying products, and the South should take advantage of it." - The above was the statement made this morning by William H. Caldwell of Peterboro, x. H., secretary and treasurer of the American Guernsey Cattle club. Mr. Caldwell has been visiting Col. John G. Mobley. Mr. Caldwell is most favorably im? pressed with the South, over w hich he has been traveling registering cattle for his club. He has traveled all over the United States and Canada, and has first-hand information of the agricul? tural and live-stock conditions of ev? ery section. He said that the South has been bountifully blessed with a salubrious climate and has a soil that will produce almost any growth indi? genous to America, if not the world. He predicted a wonderful agricultural and industrial renaissance for the South in the near future. In speaking of the dairying indus? try, in which he is peculiarly interest? ed. Mr. Caldwell said: ??The cattle in the United.States are decreasing while the population Is in? creasing. Correspondingly the dairy products are decreasing. In the South, where everything is favorable for this Industry, l see no reason why dairy products, such as butter, cheese, etc., should not be produced In this section in abundance, it seems to me that you have pasture land in plenty, thick? ly covered with nutritious grass and clover, the best feed crops for milking cows; and this should be one of the principal reasons why this should be a good region to raise cattle for dairy? ing purposes. "Another thing, your climate is so mild that you do not have to keep the cattle undel shelter for a long time like the furnu rs of the north do. Com tlnual confinement during Inclement weather has a tendency to make cat? tle poor, ami emaciated cows cannot produce the best results. Your cattle has the benefit of balm) air ami good feed practically tin- year, round and this cannot but have a tendency to produce the best dairy producta, ? in the north we have abundant Ice and cold weather to keep dairy pro? ducts from spoiling, ami they, as you know, are highly perishable; hut in the south they cannot be kept for any appreciable length of time. But, to offset this, tin demand for dairy prod? ucta is so pressing that they can be sold at once. Therefore, the southern dairyman can continually turn his mom v over, something that the mer? chant is always trying to do. Not like the nu ll bant, tin- dairyman will have no obi stock."

It. t easer Makes Interesting Imposition of Sunday School 1a'* Hons. The usual Sunday afternoon talk nt the V. M. C. A. was given Sunday by Judge T. B. Kraser, who had been call? ed upon to take the place of the speakers who had been selected pre? viously. Judge Pre err took for Yns subject during the evening the Sunday School lessons, making a clear and interesting exposition of the subjects touched upon. The speaker stated that many men these days were try? ing to discard the old testament, as a part of God's word, hut if they did this the next logical thing to do would be to discard the new, as the new testament was founded upon the old and would not stand without it. He stated that the writers of the B4ble were no more than the stenograph? ers of Qod, as the winde was a com? plete unit written by the dire* lion and guidance of Qod. ?OPEN MINI)." SAYS PRESIDENT. Not Yet Taking Sides in "Cominltl.ee" Fight* ?all Washington, March 31.?Demo? cratic opposition has developed in the House to the plan agreed upon by Kepreseniat!\e I'ndcrwod and other pi ty leaders, that no committees ?hould be appointed at the opening of the special session except those neceeeary to transaction of routine business, and the handling of the tar? iff revision bills. Representative Sims, of Tennessee, one of those who urged the appoint? ment of other important committees at the outset of the session, discussed the matter with President Wilson to? day. The latter made no recommen? dation on the subject and said he had an "open mind" upon it. It hay been the plan of Democratic Leader Underwood and his colleagues to hold hack the appointment of oth? er committees, so that full atten? tion may be given the tariff while that subject is before the House. Members who favor the appointment of other committees insist that this plan would be interpreted with many quarters as a method of forcing members of the House to support the tariff hills.
