Territory.

The Southern Railway has long de-
voted much attention to fair and ex-
position exhibits, showing the re-
sources and products of the South
eastern States. This years exhibit
work Is almost entirely within its own
territory. At state and other large
fairs and exposition its is making
comprehensive exhibits, largely agri-
cultural, which are mostly Of an edu-
cational character, and which show
what the people Of the Southeast and
of special communities may do. A
large exhibit will be made in Noyem-
Der at New York City.
In the line Of publicity for calling
attention to the opportunities of the
Southeast, liberal amounts are appro-
prlated. The Southern Field, giving
information about all the System S
territory, is widely and regularly Cir
culsted. Booklets descriptive Of the
different states, publications relating
to the various lines Of farming, pam
phlets giving general or special in
formation or lists Of lands or business

Today the greatest attention is paid
to the development of the agricultu-

be largely through the efforts of the
people already on the farms and resi-

Europe will aid hT their work and

sWATTlNG FLIES WITH SOAP
Kansas City Physician DeVlses an Ef-
ficient Method Of Destroying the
Household Pests.

A physician living on the
South side has invented a rather
novel method of ridding his house
Of flies. An ordinary drinking glass
half filed with soapsuds is placed in
q Convenient window sill. A slice
of bread with a small hole cut in
the middle and spread on the under
side with molasses, covers the glass.
The flies, alighting on the bread,
crawl through the hole to get to the
molasses. There they are soon over
come by the fumes Of the soapy wa
ter and fall into it. In a few hours
the glass is filed with them. The
physician is very enthusiastic over
the invention, for, he says, it is
much easier than chasing flies all
over the house and then killing only
a few.

KILLED BY A RUNAWAY OAR.
Peculiar Accident Takes Place On
Streets Of Charleston.

Charleston, Dec. CAS- q result of
that nave ever taken place in Char
lesion, Capt. Thomas Symmes, for
nearly thirty years o conductor on
the old South Carolina and Georgia
railroad, and we'll known man In
this section Of the State, died Monday
afternoon at the Roper Hospital, only
three hours afterfhe' had been taken
there In the automobile patrol. Capt.
Symmes was struck while getting off
of car No. SO, at the corner OF Reid
and Meeting streets, by Consolidated
Car No. So, which was stolen from
the Consolidated car barns by some
very small colored boys.
He did not, 1t Is supposed, notice
the runaway car. No. 35, and this
car struck him fairly, nearly severing
both Of his legs from his body.
Officer Redell fastened to the spot,
the police automobile having been
summoned. The wounded man was
taken to the hospital, losing much
blood meanwhile. The police arrest
ed three little colored boys, Gus
Washington, Alonzo John and Rob-
ert Pinckney, the oldest of whom
cannot be more than ten or twelve
years Of age. One Of the boys went
out with Special officer Fultz and
helped to, locate John Hutson, ano-
ther one implicated, making four ar
rests in all. These four boys are
charged with malicious mischief In
taking car from the Consolidated
barns and causing it to run wild
down Meeting street and collide with
another car.
1t Is not known how the boys man
aged to start the car, since it Is re
ported to be a strict rule for motor
men always to take off their control
lers when leaving the cars. Criti-
cism Of the Consolidated Company
authorities at the barn was heard for
having allowed the little negroes to
play in the barn.
Capt. Symmes suffered horribly
when taken to the hospital. One Of
his legs was crushed to the knee,
while the other was fractured just be-
low the waist.
Capt Symmes was very popular in
Charleston and in the country round
about He was for nearly thirty
years a conductor on the old South
Carolina and Georgia railroad. After
leaving this position he worked as
store-house keeper for the Charleston
Mining and Manufacturing Company
Recently he had been employed by

JERRY MOORE is UNSELFISH.

Next Best Record Takes Jnunt.

Florence, Dec. 2.-Florence again
leads the State in the matter of the
production Of corn on an acre by the
members of the Boys Corn Clubs Of
the State Again Jerry Moore Is the
banner bearer of the county and the
State, and Florence has the addition
al honor Of having the second best
as well as the best yield
Miller Hudson, Of Sardis, a fine ag-
ricultural community near Timmons-
Vile, is the second in the list. The
figures for their yield are not given
out yet, as all reports are not made
up, but are admitted by Prof. Had
don, who has the matter Of the corn
clubs in hand.
The prize for this greatest yield in
the State Is trip to Washington as
a guest Of the farm demonstrators.
Jerry would be glad to go again, but
he is at school here in Florence, and
having been one year, he Is willing
to let the next boy take the trip this
year, and he will continue to dig
Latin roots under the direction of
Prof. Briggs. Of the Presbyterian
High School Of this city, while Miller
Hudson joins the happy bunch of
corn producers, the new revolution
lists in Washington.
1t Is understood that there Is a
boy in North Carolina who has taken
the laurels entirely away from Jerry
by producing more corn by a great
deal than Jerry did. He is credited
with something over 230 bushels to
Jerry's 22S and 3 pecks.

Earle Sloan, of Charleston, who
often goes to Baltimore about bust
ness matters-and who is accurately
described as zone Of the high-class
men OF the old Palmetto State, a fine
combination Of the ante -bellum type,
Old school gentleman and a modern
man of affairs'--was in the Mary
land town about a week ago and
made this statement touching the DO
litical fortunes Of the DISTINGUISHED
Governor of the State of New Jersey:
The trend of the people is unmis
takably in favor of the advanced
views OF government so ably ex-
pounded by Governor Woodrow Will
son. Governor Wilson's popularity Is
no accidental condition, but the logi-
cal result of the evolution Of a very
extraordinary man. When | knew
him at the University of Virginia he
was regarded by common consent as
the most brilliant student there. It
Is my opinion that he is in the lead
or all the other presidential candi-
dates, 80 far as the South Is con-
cerned, and even at this distance
from the convention, his nomination
seems assured"
DR.. Wilson must be very much
gratified by this warm tribute from
one Of his old college associates, but
he must not put too much confidence
In high-class men, because from gen.
eral observation it would apnear
that the old ante-bellum, old-school
gentlemen do not have very much to
DO nowadays with the political af-
fairs Of South Carolina, from which
State Mr.. Sloan halls.

Of plant food; but where the crops

not Of itself assure good results.
Alaska will some day provide

"The corn crop is moving north

"The Southern farm boy Is show
ing the way to grow more of all crops

Educate the farmers boy toward
more valuable life on the farm.
"Uplift the farm home through the
education Of the farmers daughter

Save all the liquid fertilizers on
the farm, in cisterns, to be applied

There Is great promise in the fact

perience how to reforest 10000 acres
