1.-THE WAR POETRY
 OF THE SOUTH"
Subject of Thomas c. McCorvey's Lee ture at University Summer
 School.

University, July 9.-(Special.) )-Rhis morning large and very appreciative audience gathered in Clark hall to hear Thomas C. McCorvey, professor of his tory in the university, deliver his lecture on ''The War Poetry of the South" The lecture in itself was a polished and schol- arly product. the effect of which was heightened by the excellent stage pres ence and delivery of the speaker. He said that as poetry is the natural form m which the emotions are expressed, it IS freauently of historical value, in that It shows the true animus of a people in time of war, when the deliberate and philo- sophical recorder of events fails to bring it out Although at least one critic has claimed, possibly because of lack of fa- miliarity with the subject, that southern war poetry was of poor order. we have but to look into the better collections to learn that the southern people expressed their feelings in some of the finest war lyrics in the English language. which contains untold wealth of this kind
 Among the best known of the southern lyric writers were Randall, Thompson. Ticknor. Timrod, Flash and Father Ryan. ..Marvland, My Maryland the speaker said was the most timely of all the war noems and it's martial tones, echoing from Potomac to Rio Grande, stirred the entire south.

thor of these verses wrote numerous other war poems. but none of them reached the high standard of this su- preme outburst of patriotism. The most remarkable series of war poems was writ ten. the speaker said, by Henry Timrod, of South Carolina, of which the stirring lyric, Carolina" is typical. During the course of his lecture Colonel McCorvey read with splendid expression number of the south's most noted war poems. among the number being "Maryland,' 'Virginians of the Valley" Little Gif- fen,' "Stonewall Jackson's Way and others. He closed with Mrs. Beerg lyric, beautiful in it's breadth of Sympathy. All Quiet Along the Potomac"
 Tomorrow morning Colonel McCorvey will again lecture his subject being. Tho Study of History in Schools and Col leges." Having been a teacher of history for many years of his life, Colonel Me- Corvey is admirably fitted to speak to an audience of teachers on this subject.
 At o'clock under the tent tomerrow afternoon, there will be meeting tEse teachers of mathematics for the psposf je of perfecting an organization, Y oi p- ject of which will be the improvsen 4pf teaching mathematics in the soie sW~e the state.

By CHARLES B. CURTIS.

Marion, July 9.-(Special) 1.-The success ful growing of the Cuban filler tobacco in Perry county for the past four years, under the direct supervision of experts sent here by the agricultural department of the national department, has large- ly influenced some of the larger planters 10 grow the Sumatra Wrapper tobacco. The best results obtained, so far, are on the property of George w. Thomas, four miles from Marion. He has five acres under shade that give every evidence of producing as fine a grade of tobacco as comes from any section of Florida It has an average of seven and one-half feet in height, and the leaves will aver age 15 inches in length Many of the leaves are 24 inches long and almost trans parent, they are so thin.
 Mr. Thomas sold his 1907 crop at $1 per pound; considering the fact that the yield is largely increased and the value almost doubled by the shading process this plot of ground will produce almost $60O0 worth of tobacco this season.
 The cost of shading, fertilizer and cul- tlvation being about $500 per acre. When grown under the most successful condi- tons the cost averages about 31c per pound, with a sale price that ranges as high as $4
 Many acres of land adjoining Marion has been given to produce this year. many carloads of cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes having been shipped to northern and eastern markets. The sweet potato crop, which comes later, promises a large yield.
