THE COMING SOUTH.
Recognition of the Dignity of
Practical Usefulness s.

Will Kansas please take notice?
They are going 10 nold 'C"rn
Exposition" this year (December
5-8)-not in Iowa, or Nebraska,
or Illinois, or Kansas, but in
Columbia, South Carolina. And
one South Carolina farmer will
enter the competition with a record
of more than two hundred bushels
to the acre. Can Kansas beat
that? How many people know
that the worlds record-254
bushels and 40 pounds raised on
a single acre is held by Captain
Drake of Marlborough county,
South Carolina? In this matter
of corn, as we'll as in many other
respects, the South is just COM
ing into it's own and is taking a
just pride in it's achievements.
Every boy in South Carolina who
raised seventy-fve bushels of
corn to the acre this year will re-
ceive certificate of merit signed
by the Governor and the State
Superintendent of Education.
You can't beat that spirit. It's
a wholesome change from keep
ing all the prizes solely for pro-
ficiency in rhetoric and other
purely academic subjects. The

Who Found the

NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Within g.
few moments last evening DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook had his oft-repeated
wish to know what the American peo-I
pie think OF him gratifled. Even X
the Bushwick explorer, who arrived
from Europe last night on the George
Washington of the North German
lloyd line, had stuffed cotton in hisi
ears and kept them plugged from the
time the customs inspectors boarded {
the liner at quarantine until the
boat was docked at Hoboken about & I
o'clock. the Homecoming explorer
must have heard the uproar of debate
which started In the saloon Of the
boat. which was crowded with pas
sengers. who had Interrupted their
farewells to take active part In the
oral riot. Girls were standing high
on the upholstered chairs to get a
better view OF the debaters, who were
shaking fingers in each others faces.
The denunciators of he doctor seemed
/ largely in the majority.
DR.. Cook boarded the boat at Bre-
men. wearing full beard. No one
recognized him at the time, but soon
there was searching of the passenger
list when It was noised about that he
was aboard. A few hours after the
boat sailed the doctor appeared in
the smoking room, now minus his
beard, but wearing ansa ache.
x Further than the occasional remark
4 as he passed, That's DR.. Cook no
particular attention was paid to him
during the rest OF the trip. He made
few friends, about half dozen,
and accompanied by these, he would

smile

GERMAN SPIES
WORK IN FRANCE
Large Sum is Spent Each Year te
Maintain the Big Corps of Men
of the System.

LONDON, Dec. s22--Germany spends
s3.900o00 annually on the secret ser
vice staff it maintains in France. ac-
cording to a book called The Ger
man Spy System in Europe" by Paul
I.anoir, which has Just been trans
lated into English.
Lanoir says the spies are recruited
from all classes and generally serve
a probationary period in Germany be-
fore they are sent abroad. Herr Stei-
Der founded the system. Lanoir as
serts, before the Franco-Prussian war,
travelling all over the country getting
reports from his 1900 agents with
out being suspected, and with his two
chief lieutenants accompanied General
Won Moltke when the first tralnload
of German invaders occupied France
in 1870.
One of the most important duties
OF the German spy, the author de-
clares, is to stir uD strikes and Lanoir
argues that they have of late had
something to do with the troubles on
the French railroads and in the
French mines.
Steibers army of 1900 men is said
to have grown today to 10000 living
mainly in the garrison towns and
keeping their government informed
concerning the army and navy. Since
1900. it is said 5000 Germans have
been replaced by an equal number
of Belgians and Swiss. who are open

Way and Met His
Death.

ward Destruction and Going at

Speed,

LONDON. Dec. 23-Cecil S. Grace,
from Dover. competing for the $780,
600 prize offerd by Baron de Forrest
for the longest areoplane flight, be-
ginning in England and ending on the
continent. or vice versa.
After losing his way in fog, Grace
descended on the aviation ground at
Baraques, France. He went up again
from Baraques at 2 o'clock and head
ed for England About an hour later
the coast guards at Ramsgate saw an
aeroplane, presumably Graces, six
miles off Shore heading north. While
they were watching 1t, the machines
course was changed to northeastward.
Since then it has not been seen nor
heard of.
/ 1t is feared Grace mistook the Ken
tish coast for fog bank and steered
eastward to avoid it. 1t is family hop
ed he may have realized his error
later and steered southwark and made
Holland or Belgium. Otherwise he will
be lost in the North Sea unless pass
ing ship happens to befriend him.
The captain of the mail steamer
which arrived at Dover from Calais
says that Grace asked him before
4 starting to watch for him on the pas
sage as he had no tug and proposed
ITO steer by the stear9er's S smoke. The
steamer, however, was delayed by
4 Christmas traffic, and Grace started
J ten minutes before the packet.
The caotain saw him going seaward
at high speed at a great elevation
His course, the captain says, was toe
northerly for him to make Dover The
aeroplane was lost sight of in a few
minutes.
No report of his landing anywhere
has reached London.
