Wellington is a brown gelding standing IM hands high; has 2.30 speed, is perfectly sound, and the only thing that he is afraid of, is that one will say whoa, and he wont' hear it. tie is now in the pink of condi? tion and will be heard from in the local classes through the circuit. Nlcholo, a bay stallion, owned by Hon. J. A. McCullough, the president ?f the Greenville Horse show, will be eut for the honors in the roadster elassss, he is a wonderful horse In snany respects; has worked a mile in S.li on a half mile track, und when It comes to speed he has it to burn.

Rowley; is a horse of lots of iteps, both in ths rsck and trot; gocd in hie slow gaits, and will make any saddle horse that beats him work awful hard. They can't make a mis? take when they have Jack to beat, for he does not make them. Mr. Hay has also a green fine har? ness horse that is by Hex Peavine, out of a hackney mure that is going to be very troublesome to all of the fine harness horses.

This is the one that you will have to watch. For the local classes Mr. Kay'.-. Stable will oe as good as the best, but will not. of course, be up to the alaai of somo of the northern Stahles that are expected to show through the cir? cuit. Everything points to the shows be? ing the greatest that huvo ever been held In tho South.

Many uro Undecided?Eight Goes on in M< st stubborn Contest Develop? ed in the Democratic Administra? tion. Washington, March 22.?Believing th? foreign policy of the admlnistra* Ition depends on the vote on the re? peal of the Panama lulls exemption. President Wilson and Iiis advisers in ? consultation today canvassed the sit? uation* , it is unusual for the president to be at his office <>n Sunday, but he spent must of the afternoon there with Postmaster Burleson and Secretary Tumulty. They talked with adminis? tration leaders in congress and learn? ed that While tin re was little r< i Bon to doubt the ultimate triumph of the repeal, a stubborn opposition hadj aris* n, particularly in the house, and that those in charge of the adminis? tration fight there would have to work hard to overcome it. One of the peculiar phases of the situation is that Speaker Clark, Ma? jority Leader Underwood, Represen? tative Kitchln, Representative Pits gerald and others usualls aligned I with the administration in its poli i :< ... are opposing it now. With this opposition are many Republicans and Progressives, and the probability of a [close vote is Increasing daily, it ^en ? i ally is admired among the presi? dent's friends that he is confronted with the most serious OP position he has encountered and they point out that the general effect on the na tion's < reign relations In the event of the failure of the repeal would surely l- ad to considerable embarrassment in various other diplomatic questions now pending. Opponents of the proposed re? peal of the toll exemption pro? vision oi the Panama canal act expressed satisfaction today over repeated delays in getting the con? troversy directly before congress. They are earnestly at work in the meantime on senators and represen? tatives who still are wa\ering. That there are some members in both senate and house who really have not decided what to do is claimed by lending opponents of the repeal, despite the repeated publica tion of polls on the issue tending to show large majorities lor repeal. As [the tight against the repeal progress? es, those who are directing the oppo? sition maintain that their propagan? da is producing results and that some surprises are In store fcr the admin? istration before the Controversy is set? tled. On the other hand administra? tion champions, w hile well aware that the light is the most stubborn and unyielding that has developed since the Democratic party came into pow? er insist that repeal of toll exemp? tion will triumph and that final ac? tion can not be delayed many more weeks.
