The LOUISVILLE EXHIBITION Ky,
May 23.-7o the Editor Of The Ners and Courier !:
Being citizen of South Carolina and feeling n
deep interest in anything relating to her welfare,
naturally experienced n feeling of disappoint-
ment when informed that no provision was be-
Ing made TO represent her sesources in the COM
ing Exposition in this city. Second in magni-
tude only 10 the great Centennial ofauything of
the kind America has ever attempted, this Ex-
position will offer to the Southern States an
opportunity to exhibit their claims 10 capital
such rs has never appeared before. The unde-
veloped resources of our great section need but
reasonable display to draw millions of poorly
employed capital from the Northern States
And those States that are foremost in this res
pect will soonest hear the hum of busy factories
within their borders.
Under any circumstances the cost of advertis
ing proves but a small item in comparison with
its returrs but when we consider the case il
question, it scarcely deserves an entry. Here
we have q dozen States, rich in minerals, mex
haustible in water power, with millions of acres
OF productive but unemployed land. with cli-
@ate JAat js.e oil one. eau desire, and armed with
in operation calculated TO disturb with visions
the sleep of the most conservative man. Think
of 20 per cent. fitting before n capitalists eve
whose money isinvested in 81 per cent Govern
ment bonds, and inquire if anything but a
reasonable excrtion on the part of the South is
necessary to attract millions of wealth to her
States d! And when consider the vas. benefit
the State at large gains from the establishment
of manufactures on her soil. the effort to gain
them appears small in comparison. Just at this
time the whole people Of the North are predict
ing great future for the country south of the
Ohio, and are paying particular attention to all
reports from that section, and in my opinion
they will come TO the great Southern Exposi-
ton at Louisville with an eye TO business
South Carolina is too full of resources to suffer
by comparison with her sister States, but she
can injure herself by a conspicuous absence, and
trust her people may realize and avoid such
mistake. T. NJ. GILMORE.

a YEAR WITHOUT SUMNER.--The several
cold spells which have occurred during the
present month in this ection, and throughout
almost the entire country as well, recalls instan-
ces on record in which even the seasons seem
to have lost their characteristic features. A re-
markabc case of this kind is that of the year
1916, which has been called "the year without
Summer" The following summary of the
weather of that year is giveu by correspondent
IN a recent issue of the Boston Congrcgatoaaiist:
rtsauuary and February were cold March was
cold April began warm but ended in snow and
ice Ice formed IN inch thick in May. and
helds were planted over and o7er again till it
was too late to replnnt. June was the coldest
ever known in this latitude; frost and ice were
common. Almost every green thing was killed
fruit nearly ALL destroyed. Snow fell to tho
depth of ten inches in Vermont, seven in Maine,
three in the interior of New York, and also in
Massachusetts. There were few warm days.
IL was called dry season. But little rain fell.
The wind blew steadily from the North cold and
fierce. Mothers knit extra socks and mittens
for their children in the Spring, and wood piles,
that usually disappeared during the warm spell
in front ofthc houses, were speedily built up
again. Planting aud shivering were done to-
gether, and the farmers who worked out their
taxes on the country roads wore overcoats and
mttens. On the 18th of June heavy snow
fell in New England. The cold was intense.
farmer who had large field of corn in Tewks
bury built fires around ii at nigh to ward off the
frost many an evening he and his neighbors
took turns watching them lie was rewarded
With the only crop of corn in the neighborhood.
Considerable damage was done in New Orleans
in consequence of the rapil rise of the Missis-
sIGP iysE se5s Hsre sntSEsais ed that ths
land al'picnics were strictly prohibited. July
was accompanied with frost and ice. Indian
corn was nearly all destroyed some favorably
situated fields escaped. August was more
chcerlcss, if possible, than the summer months
which preceded it. Ice was formed half an inch
in thickness. Indian corn so frozen that
the greater part WAS cut down and dried for
fodder. Almost every green thing was destroy
ell in this country and in Europe. On the 30th
snow fell at Barnet, forty miles from London.
Very little corn ripencd in New England and in
the Middle States. Farmers supplied themselves
from corn pre- duccd in 1915 for seed in the
Spring of 1917. 1t sold at from 81 to S5 per
bushsl. September furnished about two weeks
of the pleasant weather of the season, but in
the latter part of the month ice formed an inch
thick. October had more than its share of cold
weather. November cold and snowy.
December was comfortable, and the winter fol.
lowing was mild Very little vegetation was
matured in the Eastern and middle States.
The suns rays seemed to be destitute of heat
during the Summer oil nature was clad in G
sable hue, and men exhibited no little anxiety
concerning the future Of this life

Can not girls raise silk as well as
boys?
eyes, better" says girl who ought
to know, for she has been raising silk
herself for two years.
"Of course, boys can feed the worms
as we'll as girls; but when it comes to
handling the delicate fibers, for Keeling
or other purposes, the girls deft fingers
give them the advantage"
This particular girl began raising
silk when she was thirteen years old ];
and now she has become so interested
in silk that she devotes all her time to
the subject.
AS her family lived in the heart of
the city, where there were no mulberry
trees, she and her father used to start
out at four o'clock every morning in
the feeding-season and walk to the park
to gather fresh leaves for her worms.
This little girls father helped her
very kindly. He made frames for her
to cover with nets for her feeding trays,
and, after awhile, actually, moved
to a house nearer the park, so that she
would not have so far to go for the
leaves. So now they have only a mile
to go, and need not start on their morn
ing walk till about five o'clock.
"Where do you feed your worms in
the rearing season ?" we asked.
Right here in this room, she replied.
But as they grow we have to spread
them out over three rooms, though our
frames are five stories high-that
is, there are five tiers Of trays, Iraise
so many worms now that my father
andtwo brothers have to help me carry
home leaves for them every morning,
and sometimes the boys have to go
again in the evening. But it is only
for few days that the worms eat so
much" st. MchoLas for JuIg.

A NOVEL SUGGESTION CONCERN
ING PRIsoNERs. The writer of ar" Open
Letter" in the July Century. gives In
teresting Endorsement of the following
striking suggestion regarding the treat
ment of prisoners "a plan which is
believed to be new, and which appears
to have great merit, has been proposed
for the reformation of prison discipline.
1t has been proposed that prisoners
shall be paid for the labor which they
perform that, so far as may be, there
shall be no restriction of the industries
or honest occupations which prisoners
may follow: that they shall be allowed
to engage in trades and industries on
their own account, and that they shall
even permitted to traffic with the out
side world 50 far as may be compatible
with Insurance against escape and the
commission of frauds or other unlawful
practices, and that all prisoners shall
be entirely dependent upon their own
industry for their living and comfort,
except in case of sickness or other dis
ability that they shall support them
selves by their labor, and grow rich or
remain poor by their labor in fine,
that true individual liberty be not only
taught but enforced when the State, by
the sequestration of criminals, has put
it out Of their power to be present
danger to society"

USE BoRAX IN WAsHING.-In en-
ploying a common, cheap, but clean
soap, | often put less than level tea
spoonful Of powdered borax into the
bottom of my tub, pouring hot water
ON it, and then cooling to the proper
degree. This borax makes the wash
ing more easy, and is good for the hands
healing them when chapped, and leav-
ing them in good condition after wash
ing. Whatever good soap you use, it
is not necessary to boil the clothes, but
this process helps in most cases, espec-
tally if the clothes are we'll stirred
about in the boiler. 1t is not best to
leave them actually boiling many
minutes, as this will turn them yellow.
The whole washing may be done with
out warm water, if desired, but more
or stronger soap must be used, and the
lsbor is harder. We want to loosen
the dirt between the fibres of the cloth
as easily as possible, and then to rinse
it all away. That is the philosophy
of making solid clothes clean.-F. e.
