Columbia, April 11.?In celebra? tion of the Tercentenary of the death of William Shakespere, the University of South Carolina is preparing to present on its campus and at the Co? lumbia theatre an enormous pageant, April 25, 1916, in which it is estimat? ed that 2,000 people will take part land 5,000 more witness. Cooperating with the University in the presenta? tion are Chicora College for Women, j Columbia College, and the city schools, both public and private. The first part of the pageant in the afternoon on the University cam? pus will present a typical May Day I scene on the outskirts of London in I the time of Queen Elisabeth. Ming? ling with merrymakers in their an? cient English sports will be the great queen and her retinue, the May Queen and her court, dignified represnta tives of the great trade guilds of London, Robin Hood and his Merry Men, and a small group of the liter? ary celebrities of the day among whom will be Shakespere himself. These gaily costumed figures will form a back-ground for the dramatic climax of the presentation; crowning of Shakespere as the monarch of the realm of imagination by the symbolic figure of Fame. The night perform? ance will be a masque, largely com? posed of famous scenes from Shakes pore's plays, and brought to a climax with the appearance of the Spirit of 1916, bringing the tribute of the prss J ent day world to the feet of the Avon Bard. , . .The audience from out of the city I is expected to be large. Special rates .will probably be offered by the rail .roads. 'The pageant is being directed jby Miss Sarah Spenser of Winthrop College, who was very successful in .directing ths Queen Elizabeth pag? eant in Winthrop two years ago. ?mmm mmmml.... )| i Plant Corn for Silos Now. - Judging by the number of in? quiries reaching the Extension Di? vision at Clemson College, there Is greater interest in the construction of silos this year than in any pre? vious year. Seventy-three silos were built in the state in 1915. .Present Indications are that this number will be doubled in 1916. A large number of the ? silos built this year will be-of concrete. The farm? ers are learning that this is the cheapest silo in ths long run. A common mistake among the stockmen who have ' built silos In this State in past. years has. been failure to "* plant sufficient wrn to rtil the ailos. Out of the seventy -; three silos built last year, not more than a dozen were entirely filed the] first year. Farmers contemplating, ths construction of a silo should begin now to plant corn with which to fill ths silo. Corn and sorghum Ars the best silage crops and sor? ghum should be used only where sufficient corn cannot be provided. : Any farmer who will write to the Extension Diviston, Clemson Col? lege, can get a bulletin giving di? rections for planting, working and cutting corn and other crops for ths silo and a full f?ll of - materials and building instructions for a concrete or stave silo. statical Write me and I will explain how I was cured in 4 days of a severe case of Piles of forty years standing without pain, knife, or detention from busi? ness. No one need suffer from this disease when this humane cure can be had right here in South Carolina. ? R. M. Josey, Route 4. Lamar, S. C. Modau Roadster $S9S, both f. o. b.
