CORN EXPOSITION A SUCCESS.
Bio Show at Columbia Is Surprising
Expectations.

Magnificent and successful beyond all
expectation. This statement tells the
story Of the South Atlantic States Corn
exposition, which opened at Craven hall
the Corn Palace" Tuesday and which
will continue through today. There
are over 700 individual exhibits, from
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia The most successful farmers
of the three states are attending, ana
several thousand more are expected
before the end of the week. Many OF
those attending the exposition have
been farmers from childhood. When
the hall was opened and the inspection
of the exhibits was commenced, these
men expressed their surprise at the
exhibits shown, for they had never
dreamed that such fine corn could be
grown in the south. 80,
Approximately $4,000 in prizes will
be given away during the week, besides
a number of handsome trophy cups
from newspapers and commercial or
ganizations. There Is sharp competl-
ton and the judges have an arduous
task before them in making the
awards. Cheap railroad rates nave been
granted from all points in South car
olina, Georgia and North Carolina.
Among the visitors here for the eX-
position. the one who is attracting the
most attention, Is Jerry H. Moore OF
Winona, in Florence county. He Is 10
years of age and produced 22S bushels
and 3 pecks of corn on one acre OF
land. He has a large exhibit. He is
very modest young fellow and knows
corn. The older farmers present found
him we'll acquainted with the subject
of corn. He has created most pro-
found impression by his simplicity and
modesty.
There was a visitor at the exposition
this afternoon who received more at
tention than any other. This exhibit
tor was Hannah Plowden of Clarendon
county, who produced 12O bushels OF
corn on one acre of land.
Governor Ansel, delivering welcome
address on the part of the state of
South Carolina before the exposition,
said that the great collection of corn
marked an era in the progress OF the
south. He spoke of the future and
congratulated the farmers present for
their efforts in making the South At
lantic States Corn exposition success.
He said that the farmers should take
lessons from the boys of the state, VINO
had made such fine records for corn
production. Governor Ansel recalled
the old days, when corn Shucklngs'
were popular. He urged the farmers
to assist in the work of moving the
corn cribs from the west and to bring
about the time when there would be
plenty of hog and hominy," for the in
creased production of corn means more
live stock and hogs. He urged the
farmers to diversity their crops. He
was most enthusiastically received and
his advice was good.
Among the exhibitors at the exposi-
ton is Rutherford P. Hayes of Ashe-
vile, n. c. He is a son of the late
President Hayes, and is a well-known
and prosperous farmer of North Caro-
lina.-Columbia special of Tuesday to
the News and Courier.

More than one observant business
man has declared that when the people
of the northwest realize the agricultur-
al possibilities Of York county, our
people are going to find it hard to hold
on to their lands, because the north
westerners will not hesitate to put up
prices that will buy them out. There
is something in this. We have no fear
that any considerable number of our
best farmers will ever be displaced.
There are plenty Of them who fully
realize the value of their holdings and
who are satisfied to hold regardless of
prices more attractive than any that
are likely to be offered. But still this
country is teeming with wonderful pos
sibilities and the developments are
likely to bring some great surprises.

If the YorkviIle Creamery associa-

If the YorkviIle Creamery associa-
ton wins out as it is promising to do,
the farmers around Yorkville are going
to have something about which to crow
over the experts who said that they
could not make a go of such an en-
terprise.
From such reports as have come to
The Enquirer, we are afraid that the
acreage in small grain this fall Is not
as large as it was last fall. 1t is partly
because of the long dry spell, and part
ly because proper effort has not been
made. Many farmers have put con-
siderable acreage in small grain and
others have done practically nothing.

1906 and 1907 they were sS,971 100000.
If we had at hand the years Of 1898,
1899 and 1910, the comparison would be
nearly ten billions. In other words,
Mr.. Hill is complaining because, within
a period Of seventeen years, the ex-
penses Of this government have doub-
led. Within that same period the rev.
enues Of the railroads have more than
doubled. Mere magnitude of figures
staggers no one. We miss the signifi-
canoe Of them unless we take into
consideration not one element, but
score of elements and Influences"

South Cardinals increase in popula-
ton is only 175,0S4, and is not quite
sufficient to entitle the state to another
congressman on the present basis of
one representative to each $4,000 OF
the population. If re-apportionment
shall be based on a larger number than
heretofore, it is probable that South
Carolina may lose a congressman.

South Carolina has not gained as
rapidly in population as she should.
There is nothing the matter with the
states material resources. We are
persuaded that the only one thing lack
ing is a strict enforcement of the laws
against criminals. No other one thing
is better calculated to compel the ad-
miration and respect of outsiders.

The North Carolina decision on the
book question will no doubt be
followed by a similar rule in South
Carolina. AS to whether the decision
is just, we are rather doubtful; but it
is not to be denied that the system un-

on the train is much more convenient
to the public

"One great crying need in the United
States is the cheapening of the cost
of litigation by simplifying judicial
procedure and expediting final judg-

is talking about. But how long, oh,

The Yorkville Enquirer issues a six
page edition occasionally, but we don't
know why. Four pages of paper
like The Enquirer ought to be enough
for nybody.-Anderson Daily Mail.
Kind and generous of the Mail is
this. The fact of the matter is that
our subscribers and advertisers treat
us so nicely. that we find it hard to
feel that we are doing enough for them.
When advertising space begins to en-

croach on news and literary matter, in
self-defense we add more pages. The
direct result of these increased pages
is expense rather than profit; but there
is compensation in feeling that both
subscribers and advertisers are always
willing to give us credit for doing
our best to measure up to any and ev-
cry situation.

York county has gained 123 per cent
in population during the past ten
years, and although the showing might
have been better, we think it does
pretty well. If the outside world only

who would try to crowd in during the
next ten years.

1t is comforting to know that con-

the depth at which it was designed to travel.
Compressed air was thing unknown in
those days. When the supply of oxygen was
near exhaustion the boat had to rise to the
surface sufficiently for the tip of the head :"
to be above water The boat travelled in
this way, when not in imminent danger, and
three small orifces opened automatically as
the submarine reached the surface the sup
ply of air being thus replenished AS soon
as the boat began to descend, these air open
ings closed again. In order to sink the vessel
the operator simply pressed with his feet
on spring which opened a passage for the
admission of water into a compartment
below where he stood. When it was desired
to rise toward the surface again, this was ac-
complished by driving out the water by
means of two force pumps.
The mode of propulsion was by paddles
governed by crank in the hands of the
navigator. There were two of these pad
dies, resembling the arms of a windmill.
They revolved perpendculary on an axle
tree projecting in front. The torpedo"
was a magazine containing a quantity of
gunpowder in a water tight case.
This death dealing turtle egg" was at
tached to the submarine just above the rud
der. The plan seems to have been for the
man who operated the craft to approach the
prey unobserved, emerge from the head"
swim to the stern, detach the explosive
egg" and fasten it to the enemy's boat.
A screw was provided which. on being loosen
ed and withdrawn, set the clock within the
magazine to running. This clockwork was
designed to run from twenty to thirty
minutes; then the lock would strike the flint
and fire the powder Those twenty or thirty
minutes were sufficient for the operator to
get beyond the region of danger.

DAMAGE Sought

Supervisors Find That Daunt=

Webster Street Bridge

OAKLAND, April 25.-Damages for
injuries to the county drawbridge
across the estuary will be sought of
the owners of the river vessels Daunt-
less and Carmel for ramming the
bridge. Much of the piling was dam
aged. according to Bridge Tender Nc
Cready. The board of supervisors to-
day resolved to bring suit if damages
are not forthcoming from the owners.
The supervisors will attend the
Fruitvale Eagles street fair and car
nival at its opening next Monday even
ing.
A resolution was passed directing
that only five days be allowed the
H. A. Smith company to install electro
liers along Washington street in front
of the county Jail. This was done with
the avowed intention of making it i'm
possible for the company to do the
work, SO that the Union iron works
may be granted new contract to do it.
Supervisor Kelley declared that the
H. A. Smith company had had a year
already to complete the installation of
the electroliers and that its work
should be discouraged on the further
ground that the electroliers were made
in the east.
