CORN EXPOSITIOX
GREAT SUCCESS
Continued from page one)

attended by large numbers
The Columbia Chamber of Com
merce has pledged itself to cooperate
with the exposition commission for
the next corn show
Great Increases.
The exposition marks the climax of
corn production in the South and also
an epoch in the history of the South
The credit for the exposition belongs
to South Carolina, for here it was that
the idea originated. This State was
the first to conceive of great corn
exposition and by the untiring work
OF A. ID. Hudson, Commissioner Wat
SON. a. G. Smith and ira w. Williams,
the event has been success so far as
exhibits and prizes.
Few people attending the exposition
realize that it stands as an index to
the 10000, -bushel crop of corn in
South Carolina and for the 100000
000-bushel increase in the South. Few
realize that the exposition means that
the corn belt has at last been Off
c.&ily declared 10 have moved South
Few realize that the exposition means
the return of the good old days OF
hog and hominy" and smoke house
full of meat in the yard of every
South Carolina farmer. Those who
have attended have been amazed at
the wonderful results shown. They
did not realize that Just as good corn
was being grown i'm South Carolina,
North Carolina and Georgia as is
grown in the boasted corn States of
the West. The South Carolina farm
er has an advantage over the West
ern man because the seasons here are
longer. The natural corn belt Is the
South, for corn requires sub-tropical
climate.
Cotton or Corn2
The cotton crop in South Carolina
is valued at approximately $90,0O0,-
600. Last year approximately $7o,-
900, 900 was sent out OF the State for
food supplies. These supplies could
have been produced in any county In
South Carolina. The exposition stands
for a movement to keep South Caro-
lima money at home and for the pro-
ducing of home supplies"

Justice White Confirmed.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Edward d.
of the supreme court, was confirmed
today by the senate to be chief justice
OF the court Immediately following re-
ceipt of his nomination by President
Taft. Confirmation of the two newly
appointed associate justices, whose
names were also sent to the senate
today, will follow later. The quick
confirmation of Mr.. Justice White is
luz to the fact that The senate already
had passed upon his qualifications.

mccormick Messenger
This enterprise is now being con-
sldered by the business men of Green
wood, so we have been reliably in
formed, and as the town of McCor-
mick is on the line of the proposedi
route the matter is of great impor
tance to the citizens of this town and
section.
AS soon as the trolley line from
Greanville to Greenwood is completed
the right Of way for which has been
arranged-it is proposed to extend the
line in southerly direction through
Greenwood county Ia Lincolnton. Ga,
crossing the Savannah at a point near
the mouth of Little river. Passing
through fine section of Greenwood
county. connecting with the Charles
ton d. Western Carolina railroad to
Mccormick and supplying the much
needed railroad facilities FOR Lincoln
county in CeoI gia. the road would be
OF great benefit to the people along
the entire route by affording quick
transportation and competinr
freight line, and an outlet for the
town of Lincolnton, now nearly 20
miles from the nearest railroad.
Every inducement possible should
be offered to the promoters of this
proposed road by the people of the
towns and sections a:ong the route,
to the end that the enterprise may be
inaugurated and the right of way ap-
piled for at an early daie.
We believe the business men of Nc
Cormick will cooperate with those of
Greenwood, and their energetic eff
forts Will go far towards making the
undertaking complete success.

COLUMBIA PLANS FOR
ITS FALL ATHLETICS

With the beginning of the first full
week of the fall term Columbia uni
versity will get to work in earnest in
its athletic department, and the Nari-
Gus candidates are expected to "hnd
themselves" right off, with view OF
getting a line on the men who VIII
compose the various teams upon which
Columbia will depend.
Coach Rice will issue a call for can
didates for fall rowing today and eX-
poets to have three or four eights
boated at once. The freshmen Will be
tried out in barges until they show
some signs of Craftsmanship.
The interclass football games, which
have been the only remnants of the
Intercollegiate game since 1904, Will
take place the latter part of october,
but practice for them will begin on
South field at once. A feature of this
years contests win be the shortening
Of the schedule. There will be only
three games instead Of six, as formerly.
Whether pressure was brought to bear
from the faculty to let up on the pig
skin game or whether a gradual lack
of interest on the part of undergrad
yates brought about this change is a
conjecture, but it is thought that a
dearth of enthusiasm creates the pres
ent condition.

RUSSIAN AND CANA ARE
AFTER G0TCH'S LAURELS
Foreign Mat Experts May Show
Class in America This Winter

NEW YORK, Oct. SIN some re-
spects the heavyweight wrestling sit
uation resembles the pugilistic field.
The mat champion, Gotch, is not being
besieged with chaliengers from every
town and country, as is Johnson, but
there are two men now active who
claim that they are justified in asking
for a match. They occupy about the
same places In regard to the wrestling
title as do Kaufman and Langford In
the pugilistic field. Perhaps Hacken-
schmidt and the Indian wrestler Cana
have more enthusiastic hackers than
the two boxers.
At any rate, both the Russian and
the Indian have signified their inten-
ton of coming to this country In the
winter and seeking a match with
Gotch. A regular report creeps forth
in dull times that the champion has
retired Sometimes it goes ignored and
frequently the monotony is still fur
ther varied by an immediate denial.
If Cana and Hackenschmtdt come
here this winter some city should see
an interesting bout. Before either OF
them draws Gotch into an encounter
they will probably be matched against
each other. Hackenschmidt was In
Australia last winter. A report states
that a California tight promoter cabled
to the Russian saying that he had Sc
cured Gotch's consent to a match, and
advising Hackenschmidt to come here.
The latter part of November has been
mentioned as a possible date.
Cana was q sensation for time in
London. He had defeated every good
man in India and came to London seek
ing new worlds to sit on. He was un-
able to get a match until DR.. F. b.
Roller of Seattle appeared. Cana de-
feated Roller in short order, and Roller
had two ribs broken during the contest.
Reports now vary as to whether
CANA won because Roller sustained a
fracture Of two ribs or whether Rollers
ribs were broken because Cana deliv-
cred a crushing, Irresistible attack.
Cana stock went up. Roller was rated
as the second best man in America, ano
the Seattle physician was quoted with
the opinion that Cana could defeat
Gotch A bout between Cana and
Zbyszko was farce. The Pole kneeled
for about two hours. CANA could not
start any action, and darkness put an
| end to the show.
Cana Is a big man, weighing 21C
pounds. He measures IS inches about
| the neck, As inches around the chest
and has a 27-inch thigh. He desires to
meet Gotch.
Hackenschmidt is said to believe he
can defeat the champion. He lost a
match two years ago in Chicago, but
has been dissatisfied since. If both the
men appear here as scheduled there
should be some good wrestling in the
country this winter.
