Hy noon all the pens for hogs and cattle were tilled and additional accommodations had to be provided by the committee. Tho cattle exhibit Included fine specimens of pure bred Jerseys. Holsteins, Quernseys and Ab? erdeen-Angus and grades. The numb? er of fine dairy cows was esp c ally large and the average quality hlgn. The swine exhibit Included register? ed Duroc Jerseys, I. O. C.'s and Berk ehlres, und It is ono of the finest hog ?hows tho writer has ever seen in South Carolina, being far superior to the exhibit at the State Fair last year. The cattle and hogs will not bo Judg? ed until tomorrow. The show grounds are open during the morning and no admission Is charged and every per? son Interested in the live stock should visit the show just to see tho hogs. Few people realise that Sumter coun? ty Is beginning to take an interest in fine hogs and cattle and already has some of the best blcoded stock in th country. Prof. J. O. Williams, of Clemson who was engaged to act as judge for all events as well as to judge the cattle and swine, did not arrive this morning so the executive committee appointed Dr. Hood, of tha Bureau of Animal Husbandry and Mr. W. M. Graham to serve as Judges this afternoon. Mr. J. P. Booth waft to act as referee in ease the two judges cannot agree in any Instances. From The Dally Item, Oct. 14. The second annual horse show giv? en under the auspices of the Sumter Horse Show Association was aus? piciously begun yesterday afternoon. Although the attendance was not as large as at the opening day of the pre? vious cxhli.lt. still the quality of tho horses entered In the different events far surpassed the former show. There were a larger number of entries and much Interest was displayed as to which one would get the much coveted blue ribbon. The horsemanship in the saddle horse classes was the bssj ever seen In Sumter. Much Interest was shown in regard to local entries and It was ph asing to Sumter people that a great many of their favorites came In for many of tho prize winning places. Tho best Individual prUe winner of the after? noon was the horse. Marker's Kinu, owned by Dr. Kendall of Columbia, capturing two blue ribbons. Mr. Oeo. T. Little, of Camden, had the largest number of individual entries ami was very successful. The Judges were Dr. Hood, of tin Bureau of Animal Husbandry and Mr. W. M. Graham. Mr. J. P.

Although the show was a free exhibition, and the exhibit of superior excellence, the crowi was not large. The apparent lack of Interest Is attributed, and probably correctly, to the fact that this is the busiest season of the year in both town and country and neither business men nor the farmers could take a day off for the show. The farmers are especially engrossed in cotton picking and trying to save as much as possible of the largest and tiniest peavine hay crop they have had in many years. The show was well worth a visit, and as the cattle and hogs will remain on the grounds until tomorrow .afternoon those who may wish to see what some of the progres- ' live farmers of Sumter county are doing to raise the standard of live stock will have another opportunity ] to see the exhibit. The hogs and cattle were judged and the prizes awarded by Messrs. 1 William Collins, of North Middletown, Ky.; Robert S. McCray, of Bourban County, Ky., and Geo. T. Little, of Camden, S. C. The prize winning cat? tle w ill be paraded in the arena just before the regular horse show begins. CARRANZA RECOGNIZED SOON. Washington Officials Say it May Come Before Night. Washington, Oct. 13.?Carranza may be recognised before night, it is inti? mated at the State department. Offi? cial! freely declare that the sooner the first chief im recognized and an em? bargo on arms to Villa is put into ef? fect the better it will be for the Unit? ed States. The administration is not satisfied with the state of affairs along the border. ARMY PLANS CONSIDERED. President Wilson Takes up Army Re? organization Programme. Washington, Oct. 13.?President Wilson today took up the army reor? ganization estimates. He will soon hold a conference with Chairman Hay of the house committee on military af? fairs, at which a program will b* agreed on. It is known that Mr. Hay favors confining the increases to the artillery branch. Field and heavy ar? tillery regiments will be created, and the number of field guns will be doubl? ed. The substitution of sixteen inch guns for the smaller ones in the coast defenses will come up soon as congress convenes. The question of an army reserve is expected to develop differ? ences. MIDDIES ABOLISH HAZING. Three Upper Classes Voluntarily De? clare That Time 'Has Come to Stop. Annapolis, Md., Oct. 12.?Hazing has been abolished at the naval acad? emy by the voluntary action of the midshipmen of the three upper classes, it became known tonight. Al? though no formal resolution was pass? ed, it was stated on authority that there was virtual unanimity of opin? ion that the time had come for haz? ing to cease. The midshipmen did not seek to make the matter known and nothing in the nature of a threat had been communicated to them. IKE PENDLETON CELEBRATION ? - < HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF | FARMERS' SOCIETY. < Editor Clarence I'oc Lays Stress on CooiK'ration, Keynote of Progress Sounded by Association. Pendleton, Oct. 12.?The opening of the centennial celebration of the Pen [Ueton Farmers' society, begun today under the most auspicious circum? stances, marks not only the 100th an? niversary of the pioneer and most ac? tive veteran agency for agriculture in South Carolina, but iL celebrates in a large measure the birth of coopera? tion, now the cornerstone of every agricultural structure and the first word in the creed of the earnest dis? ciples who are preaching progress in agriculture. Clarence Poe, editor of Tho Pro? gressive Farmer of Raleigh, N. C, the orator of the day, spoke of coopera? tion as the basis of rural community spirit around which his splendid ad? dress was built, and Col. J. C. Strib ling, president of the Pendleton Farmers' society, recalled that the first cooperation in agriculture was in 1815 or 1816 when the Pendleton Farmers' society built its first hall. Tomorrow will introduce a disin guished list of speakers to the folk of Pendleton and the surrounding coun? try, headed by David F. Houston, sec? retary of agriculture; Gov. Manning, President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railway, Representative A. F. Lever, the Rev. W. H. Mills and others will be heard. Thursday the scene shifts to Clem son, where an attractive programme has been arranged, including a dinner by the college authorities with the cadets in the barracks. Mr. Poo's address was one of prac? tical advice given by a man genuinely interested in his subject and anxious to see the farmer learn to help him? self. The speaker was introduced by President W. M. Riggs of Clemson col? lege, who recalled that South Caro? lina, according to the reports of the United States government, showed greater agricultural progress than any other State. Dr. Riggs gave much of the credit for this splendid accom? plishment to the visiting editor, whose work with pen and voice proved in? valuable to other active agencies, the department of agriculture and agri eu'tural colleges. Mr. Poo deplored the present reck? less system of treating the soil and warned his hearers of the fallacy of :ontinuing without resort to methods o build up instead of destroy. Edu? cation must be a forerunner of prog? ress. In this connection he paid a compliment to Clemson's efficiency. The speaker was earnest in de? clarim; that he is not a demagogue ind has no wish to array class against :lass, but he is forced to realize that he stern fact remains?rural sections must grow white rather than black. S'o injustice is to be worked on the negro but an equal chance must be presented for white people to main? tain social lifo. The solution, In the speaker's opinion, is restriction in the sale of land in communities populated l?y white farmers. This will serve the twofold purpose of bringing needed immigrants from the West and North. Canada is now reaping a harvest of new settlers, who should be directed to South Carolina and other Southern States. Improvement in the farmers' social sphere is the crying need of the day Mr. Poe quoted Woodrow Wilson to support his plea?"Pack to all re? form lies the means of getting it." Organization in rural communities' is a twofold blessing in that it is more satisfying and better paying. The case of Iowa was noted as an illus? tration. In spite of this being the most fertile State in the United States farmers are leaving by the thousands. Neglect of the social side furnishes the answer. , The speaker used with distinct ef? fect on his audience an illustration from his own State of North Carolina. He told of the work of two communi? ties, Salemburg and Ingold, in Samp? son county, a county which was for? merly noted only for its huckleberries as Chatham was known by its rabbits. For two and one-half miles a rural centre has been established into a community league. Plans for Incor? poration are under way when the community will have a board of alder? men and have all the advantages of city government. Wonders are being accomplished here. Education and organization in rural cooperation are synonymous and three-teacher schools will replace one teacher schools as communities unite their forces. In Salemburg and In gold communities take care of the de? tails of farming, providing for mar? keting facilities, women's work, moral conditions of the community and so? cial activities. Out of 84 farmers in the organization, 46 are interested in the joint ownership o* some form of farm machinery. An asset I? the system of marketing products to? gether. Cooperation is gre?t arid must prevail, concluded the editor. ,h YOUR FACE IS YOUR OWN Your Figure is What Your Corset Makes It <f It is really your figure that marks your personality.
