Farmers Union Notes.

Owing 10 the intensely cold wealth
er yesterday the attendance was very
small and the county union decided
to postpone the election of officers
until the January meeting in the Court
House on Friday the 9Th, 1911. In
this connection we desire to call
especial attention to the letter of
President Barrett, of the National
Union, in which he urges the most
careful selection of officers 1t
seems to have been providential that
this letter should await us in the
mails at home on the very day our
union had postponed the election Of
officers to secure, if possible, a more
representative attendance at the next
meeting for this very important part
OF our routine work. That the union
will be largely what its officers make
1T goes without saying, and every
man elected to office should be one
who has proved his interest in the
cause by his loyalty to the principles
Of the union and his willingness to
make sacrifices Of his time to attend
the meetings or prepare the COM
mittee work laid upon him by the
union.
We trust every member Of the
union will read carefully the letter
OF President Barrett, and that it will
bear fruit in Sumter County by the
KIND OF men you put in office at the
December meetings of the locals, and
the January meeting of the County
Union.

GREAT CORN EXPOSITION OPENS
DOORS OF CRAVEN HALL
THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC
THIS MORNING.
Thousands of Visitors for the E,yno.
sition from All over south Caro-
lima, Georgia and North Carolina.
Special to the Daily Item.

Special 10 the Daily Item.
Columbia. Dec. 6.-With all ex-
hibits in place and with hundreds of
farmers and others in the city and
thousands expected, the doors to the
South Atlantic Corn Exposition were
thrown open to the public this morn
ing at 8 o'clock, the addresses of
welcome were made this afternoon at
2 o'clock by Mayor w. II. Gibbes and
Martin f. Ansel.
Several hours before the public was
admitted to Craven Hall, where the
corn exhibits are held in the South
Is shown to advantage, the finishing
touches were being put on the inter
ior. The bunting and flowers were
touched up here and there, the corn
was carefully inspected from every
side, and the entire hall subjected to
the scrutiny of expert eyes to see that
no mistake had been made. The re-
suit was up TO expectations.
The one big idea of the exposition
is to show Southern farmers how to
select seed corn. Heretofore, in spite
of enormous crops, seed selections has
not bee along scientific lines and the
experts and enthusiastic farmers hope
to open the eyes of visitors. II so
much has been accomplished with lit
tie attention TO seed selection II ic
urged that more will be accomplish
ed with much attention to this detail.
Farmers in the city today were enthu-
siastic over what they saw.
Although the center Of the build
ing is given over to the crops of the
men farmers, the Boys Corn Clubs
are taken care of. Over against the
walls are the exhibits of the young
sters and displayed conspicuously are
the certificates awarded to them and
signed by the Governor of this State.
Here the visitors may marvel. The
fact that boys Of tender years have
produced over 200 bushels of corn 10
the acre on South Caroline land is
marvellous
North Carolina and Georgia are
likewise represented. Every county in
South Carolina has corn on display.
Georgia has not contributed a. much
as North Carolina, but is here.

FENNEL.
u 70 to the Italians Somewhat as Gel.
cry Is to Us.


"Tisnt often that an Italian table
d'hote furnishes anything that takes
me back to my grandmother's time"
said a New York man. but that was
my experience last night The first
nibble of something I'd supposed was
celery sent my mind wandering back
fifty years to an old New England viii
lage.
'Fennel? | asked the Italian waiter
He nodded and smiled and gave me
the Italian form Of the word, which /
carefully wrote down on scrap of
paper. 'Fennocchi.' suppose it showed
my ignorance, but never before did |
know that fennel Is to the Italians
what celery is to us. Evidently the
large bases Of the leafstalks are
bleached In similar fashion. and from
the way II was served could see II
was intended to be dipped In salt, as
We eat celery. Ny obliging waiter told
me that IT was delicious as a salad
and when boiled and served with
cream sauce 1t made a popular Italian
dish.
But after all what did those Gull
nary details matter? What really
counted was that strange. penetrating
flavor which took me back to my child
hood. As I thoughtfully nibbled my
fennel stalks the last fifty years
seemed a blank. was a child again,
picking big clusters Of yellow. aromatic
fennel seeds In my grandmather's gar
den."-Eew York Sun.
