retary Handy. sit was my pleasure
to appear before the representative
business men of Orangeburg for the
purpose of presenting the National
Corn exposition to them. While The
audience was small, the quality made
up for the quantity. | found that
there was an impression prevailing
that the National Corn exposition was
solely boost for Columbia, and.
therefore, | dwelt on this point con-
siderably to prove beyond doubt
that Columbia and Rhhland county
would profit less by ii than probably
any other county in South Carolina.
| endeavored to show them that it
was statewide movement for state
wide good and was being held in Co
lumbia because Columbia was the
geographical center of the state and
more easily reached than any other
city by people from every section of
the state.
After thorough explanation he
continued, "of the proposition, those
present seemed to take deep interest
in the exposition and asked great
many questions, which were answered
to their entire satisfaction. The pres
ident of the Orangeburg chamber Of
commerce, the president of the Or
angeburg AID Club and the president
of the Farmers Union all pledged
their hearty support and the bond
was left in their hands TO secure sub
scriptions feel satisfied that
Orangeburg county will contribute
handsomely toward the guarantee as
soon as those to whom the matter
has been explained have the oppor
tunity to take it up with the farmers
and business men individually.

At the head of a narrow stairway,
which led to the street, the foreigner

he swept along others before him
who were waiting their turn TO enter

gained the street, they ran screaming

The Campaign Against Hook Worm.

Through the aid of the churches OF
Marion county, hookworm dispen-
saries are being established in that
county under DR.. l.. LaBruce Ward,
who is the South Carolina representa-
tive of the Rockefeller sanitary COM
mission, established for the eradica-
tion of the hookworm disease. One
dispensary has already been estab-
lished at Mullins, and it is probable
that others will be put in operation
within the next week or two. This
makes the fourth county to come into
line in the hookworm treatment, the
Hampton. The treatment is given
free to individuals, the Rockefeller
commission paying practically all the
expenses of the work The counties
are, however, asked to pay for the
actual cost of the medicine required.
In Marion county, the county commits
sioners were willing to make the ap-
preparation, but found that they had
no authority to do so at this time. Fol-
lowing big church rally recently, at
which the subject was placed before
the people, private subscriptions from
individuals and churches, etc, were
raised to pay the expenses of this
work. It is estimated that since the
beginning OF the dispensary system Of
hookworm treatment in this state, on
July 1 OF this. year, at least twelve
hundred cases have been cured.

ADVERTISE SOUTH CAROLINA
j. q. Finster Of Southern Road Inter
ested In Moving Pictures-Has
Conferred With Mr.. McKeand.

Charleston.-J. B. Finster, of the
land and industrial department OF the
Southern Railway, has been in the
city during the last few days con-
ferring with Secretary McKeand on
the subject of the work to be done
by moving picture committee outside
of Charleston. 1t will be remem-
bered that South Carolina as whole
will be advertised by the moving pic
lures which are now being taken,
and that the Charleston films will be
but a part of the plan. Mr.. Finster
has charge of the general develop
ment of South Carolina along the
line of the Southern Railway.
He and Mr. McKeand have been
drawing UP plans for the places to
be visited and the scenes TO be taken.
1t is largely due TO Mr.. Finster who
takes a keen interest in this state,
that the rest of South Carolin is TO
be represented on the films, as the
original intention had been TO confine
the pictures to Charleston.
The immediate itenerary Of the
moving picture camera is given else
where. In addition to taking views
of the industrial and agricultural life
of the state, several very interesting
subjects will be included. For in
stance, it is proposed to take pictures
of stretches of railroad from the
front of a railroad locomotive. II
will be necessary in this case to have
somo sort OF platform in front of the
engine for the camera to be rested
on.
Other railroad views will be taken.
1t is proposed to get a picture OF
the Carolina Special on the South
ern tracks and also picture OF one
of the fast Atlantic Coast Line
trains. 1t has not yet been decided
which of the Coast Line tarins will
be chosen, but it will be full train,
consisting of several day coaches and
Pullmans.
Besides this, it is proposed to take
series of pictures showing every
process in the drainage of farm
lands. The first pictures will be of
the low land covered with trees and
swamp timber. Partly cleared and
thoroughly cleared land will then be
shown. From there the pictures will
take up the drainage Of the land, its
cultivation, and so on down to the
point where the farm products are
marketing

Mr.. KNAPP SPEAKS AT AIKEN
Would be Better Country Life-He
Points Out What is Needed to
Make Farms More Attractive.

Aiken.-"The natural resources Of
South Carolina are equal to those Of
any state in the Union, and it will be
known as a great agricultural state,
where the lands are capable of great
possibilities" said DR.. Bradford Knapp
at the farmers meeting here. Dr..
Knapp added that the earning capa-
city for the man on the farm is too
small, which accounts for the people
leaving the farm for the cities. Farm
life lacks the educational, religious
and social advantages.
The meeting was part of the auto
mobile tour of the state by DR.. Knapp,
Commissioner Watson. A. G. Smith of
the demonstration work and Ira w.
Williams, and was largely attended.
Mayor Gyles presided over the meet
ing, and the keenest interest was TAX
en- in the addresses by those present.
AS a remedy for the lacks of coun-
try life, DR.. Knapp said that drudgery
must be taken from farm life, good
roads must be provided, rural tele-
phones must be installed, ulal mail
delivery, better schools and churches,
and beauty of surroundings to at
tract the boys and girls must be fur
nished.
Farm literature. said the speaker,
is very helpful, but does not accom-
plish results. 1t takes work to instill
into the farmers and country people
generally the intelligence needed in
the work. He deprecated the farm
ers' failure to keep their accounts, and
said that any business man who pur-
sues the same methods of keeping ac-
counts as do the farmers would go
bankrupt in a year. DR.. Knapp re-
viewed the work of the local agents
of the demonstration work and urged
the Importance OF this branch, stating
that the local agent is most important
in disseminating the Investigations Of
the department The agents must
themselves be practical farmers,
whose farms must show results from
their labor. They must keep out Of
politics. No man is employed who
seeks Office or is active for the elec-
tion OF any candidate.

PRESIDENT TAFT
IS FOR REVISION
TARIFF REFORM WILL BE THE
PRINCIPAL SUBJECT OF HIS
SPEECHES.
WILL ATTACK DEMOCRATS
The President Will Make the Reduc-
tlon of Duties the Theme of Talks
That no is to Make on the Western
Tour.

Beverly, Mass.-So far as President
Taft himself is concerned, the tariff
will be the main issue Of the 1912
campaign. While the President will
speak on many subjects on his West
ern trip, it is certain now, that tariff
revision will receive most Of his at
tention.
Following his speech to the Essex
County Republican Club at Hamilton
the President began to prepare othe
speeches on the tariff. He secure
copies of his veto messages on the
wool, farmers free list and cotton bills
and at once set to work upon address
es he expected to deliver later, back
ing up those yetoes.
Mr.. Taft is said to realize that no
must not merely defend himself for
having rejected these bills, but mat
he must attack the Democrats and
progressive Republicans who put them
through Congress.
The nature of attack is pretty clear.
~ defined already-it will be in sub.
stance that the progressives who
voted for a tariff board should have
been willing to wait for its report;
that the revision bills the Democrats
and insurgents" drew at the spe'
cial session were ell considered" an1
badly drawn" and that great indus
tries OF the country should not be put
in jeopardy by such legislation when
revision, If recommended by the
tariff board, might be expected any
way "a few months later. 1t is also
probable that the President will prom
ise tariff reform so far as he can
bring it about at the next session OF
Congress.
