The Poultry Show.

1t is gratifying to state that the
exhibition of poultry, pigs and
farm products here last Saturday
was. a grandIsuccess, viewed from
any and : all standpoints. The
number of,exhibitors and the quail
| ity of exhibits were both far be-
yond the most sanguine expecta-
tions of the most optimistic. The
exhibits began coming in early in
the morning but it was eleven
O'Clock before everything was ar
ranged for the admission of the
eagerlpublic. The crowd surged
in and found bewildering array
of chickens, pigs, turkeys, vege
tables, syrups, preserves and al
most all the products of this Sec
ton. The committee. Messrs w.
A. Hodges, D. R. Richardson and
R. D. Smith deserve the highest
commentator for their indefatig-
BILE efforts to make the occasion
one of profit and benefit to the ag-
ricultural Interests of this section.
In the afternoon Mr. Hurlbut
addressed the people on agricul-
ture, but the growing of the null
titude of roosters made it difficult
to hear what he said, However,
we heard enough to gather that
the people of South Carolina had
made great progress in agricul-
ture and that the people of Mis-
sissippi could do the same. What
the people mostsneed here is for
a number of the progressive farm
ers to come here from the Pied
mont region of South Carolina and
give us object lessons in real in
tepsive farming such as they prac-
tice so successfully at home. The
spirit of progress is abroad among
our farmers; no one could look at
the splendid display in the Farm
er's Union Warehouse.last Satur-
day and doubt this. but the object
lessons of practical farmers who
have already wrought out success
fully these questions would expe-
dite matters very much.
The behavior of the big crowd
here Saturday was most exem-
plary and decorous. There was
rivalrysbul it was good natured
and generous, without malice.
The VIDETTE has had occasion
several times to advocate the for
nation of a county fair associa-
tion. Now is propitious time
to again bring Lthis subject for
ward. The success of the poultry
exhibit amply warrants confidence
in the success of a greater and
longer continued fair. Let our
progressive farmers take this mat
ter up. We will cheerfully accord
space and extend all possible aid
and encouragement to such an
enterprise.
The awards of the committee
or judges will be found in another
place.

believe that the solution Of the trust and

inasmuch as they are the sole creators
Of corporations in the first place Vari-
Gus technical questions are disposed Of
in the courts opinion, but the main fact
is that drastic procedure against a cor

regulative and prOhibitive legislation has

We have antitrust laws in plenty. and
they can be made effective in some direc-

corporation ought to be controlled and
limited and hedged about with inhibition

Niagara Preserved.

From TIE New yo-k Tines
As FIRE fights FIRE, 50 the utilitarian ar
guments OF the power companies situated
about Niagara Falls have been met by
the economic objections Of the navigators
on Lake Erie. The United States and
Canada have agreed that the falls shall
be saved. not primarily because OF their
scenic wonders. but because every 22,0)0
cubic feet a second OF water abstracted
by the power companies increases the
slope Of the river and lowers Lake Erie
by one foot. For the large steamers in
the carrying trade each inch Of draught
represents q return Of 500 in freight
receipts. For this reason REINFORCED. II

for speculative enterprises Of every sort.
A New York lawyer. writing in the
Atlantic Monthly. calls attention to the
great need OF intelligent corporation
legislation in the States. pointing out that
such legislation would greatly minimize
the need OF administrative regulation OF
corporations. which is now so strongly
urged as the one remedy for corporation
evils. When it is recalled that not one
OF our American States has such a COM
piete statute OF corporations as that not
long ago adopted by the British Parlia-
ment, we may realize how far behind
We are in corporation legislation.
