Columbia State, 2lst.
An auditorium with a seating capa-
city of $4,000 was yesterday purchas-
ed for $4,000 by the city of Columbia
and the executive committte of the
South Carolina Agricultural and Me-
chanical society. The new building
will, within the next several months,
be removed from Greensboro, \. c.,
20 Columbia and will be located at
The State fair grounds. The building
will be ready for use in time for the
greater State fair in 1911.
At a conference between officers of
the State fair society and officials of
the city of Columbia, held here several
weeks ago, it was decided to purchase
the building for $4,000, the city to
pay one-half the interest and the
fair society one-half On the bonds to
be issued. The final arrangements for
the purchase Of the building were
completed yesterday.
The building is Of steel, 161 feet
wide and 400 feet long and was used
at the Jamestown exposition for audi
torium purposes. Later it was remoV-
ed to Greensboro. State fair officials
say that the building is large enough
to accommodate the Thursday crowd
at the State fair, which always num-
bers more than $4,000 persons.
The building will be used by the
citizens of Columbia for an audlto-
rum, and will be large enough to ac-
commodate any convention that might
meet here.

DR.. Morgan is qualified to be of the
most practical benefit to those taking
up dairying, being splendidly equipped
and having large experience. He is
graduate of the Iowa State agncultur-
al college and also is a graduate veter-
marian. He taught and did practical
work in the development Of the live
stock industry in the Northwest and
then spent three years in the Philip

has been special agent in South caro-

a trip Of inspection over the lines Of
the Carolina, Clinchfeld & Ohio rail
way last week, with Edwin Hawley
and others interested in the proposed
lease Of the Carolina, Clinchfeld &
Ohio road by the Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Seaboard Air Line, expects to
return to New York tomorrow to re-
sumo negotiations in connection with
the deal.
While reluctant to be quoted on
the subject, Nj. Stevens thought that
the deal would possibly be closed
shortly. He will remain in New York
for two days, according to his present
plans.
The contract for the connecting
link of 40 miles between Elkhorn, Ky,
and Dante, Va, that would give the
Chesapeake & Ohio through line to
Spartanburg, S. c., and the South At
lantic coast from Chicago and the
Great Lakes, will be let as soon as
the negotiations are closed, but it
will take at least two years to build
this link, it is estimated, owing to
the rough mountainous country
through which it runs. From Spar
tanburg traffic arrangements to the
coast will be made by the. Seaboard
perhaps to Columbia, S. c., and thence
to Charleston and Savannah over the
Southern tracks.

LOWER HOUSE PASSES
WOOL TARIFF MEASURE

AoO~N
of representatives, by vote of 221
to 100, today passed the Underwood
wool tariff revision bill providing for
a reduction of the duty on wool and
manufactures of wool. Twenty-four
Republicans voted with the Demo-
crats for the passage of the measure,
and one Democrat, Representative
Francis, of Ohio, voted against it.
Many amendments were offered and
voted down, the only one being a
slight change in phraseology.
Almost five hours we're spent by
the house in debate under the five
minute rule. Immediately preceding
the final vote, a motion offered by Rep
reseatative, Payne (N. ~ that the
bill be resubmitted to the ways and
means commieee with instructions
that it await a report from the tariff
board on the woolen industry before
making final report of the bill was lost
by vote of 1S9 to d18.
Kept Forces Together.
Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, and in charge of the bill, kept his
forces well together in their opposl-
ton to all amendments. While some
Democrats proposed amendments,
with one exception, they voted
with the party when the bill came to
passage.
Representative Murdock, one of the
=insurgent Republicans who finally vot-
I'd for the bill, proposed several
amendments placing certain grades of
wool on the free list His purpose IN
these amendments, he stated, was to
give to the American people protec-
ton fom the Worsted trust by max
ing free ''those articles which enter
into the manufacture of trust-controll-
ed woolen products.
Harrison With Party.
Mr.. Murdock appealed to Represen-
ssative Harrison (N. W, Democratic
member Of the ways and means COM
mittee, and to others of the party who
had favored placing wool on the free
list, to support him. Mr. Harrison re-
piled that che would vote for the bill,
although he would have placed raw
wool On the free list if his personal
desires had prevailed
The bill places a duty of 20 per
cent. ad valorem on raw wool i'm
ports as against an average duty of a
little more than A per cent. ad
walorem under the present law. On
partly manufactured wool and on
products manufactured in whole or in
part from wool the average duty un-
der the proposed law would be about
42.5 Der cent. ad valorem as com
pared with the present average &C
vaIorem duty of more than 80 pei
cent. The ways and means COMMITTEE
aas estimated that the bill would re
duce the annual revenue under thu
woolen schedule of the present tarif
law by more than S1,000,000.
The bill prescribes that it shall b.
in effect January 1 next, but it is no
believed that the bill will pass tn

Obituary..

Little Ola, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. N. E. Wright, died at her home
Aug. 81, 1911, of complication Of
diseases. She had been afflicted for
a number of weeks, and it seemed
that nothing could be done to stay its
course, and in spite of skill and love
death conquered and she went away.
She was in her third year and had
lived but few short years, but they
were beautiful years.
Death has conquered, did l say?
Nay, not so. Death has no power to
touch the true, the beautiful and the
good, and such she was. Rather let
us say:
o grave where is thy victory?
o death, where is thy sting?
Gone out of our sight for awhile
but not out of our love. Left us, but
not lost for love can never lose its
own. One Who Loved Her.

Fighting Hog Cholera.

From almost every county of Mis-
souri, there have come to the Agri'
cultural College during the past three
months appeals for help to check the
ravages of hog cholera. At the pres
ent time Franklin, Caldwell and Ray
counties are centers of infection and
every effort is being put forth to pre-
vent the further spread of the disease
in this sections. The veterinary de-
partment has been taxed to its utmost
capacity to supply serum as fast as
the calls have come but with its pres
ent equipment this has not been pos
sible.
Over 1000 doses have been sent
out from the serum laboratory at
Columbia during the first eight
months Of 1911. Fifteen thousand
hogs have been inoculated for the
presentation of cholera during the
month of August alone. -Four men
are now in the field where the disease
is most deadly, applying the serum
treatment and advising other pre-
tentative measures.
Last winter the Legislature Of Mis-
souri, appropriated $25, 900 to aid the
work of the Veterinary Department
in fighting hog cholera. To say that
double this sum is being saved to the
farmers of Missouri every month of
the year as result of this original
investment of $25, 900 is an entirely
conservative statement.

Mid.State Highway Opponents
Miffed.

Jefferson City, NO., Aug. 81
Some of the advocates of the northern
and southern cross-State highways
between St. Louis and Kansas City
are disposed to look upon the work of
Governor Hadley and the State Board
of Agriculture in pushing the central
route and tentative announcing the
date for its official dedication as
either October Is or 10, as being pre-
mature. The central route was
selected the night of August 2, and it
was announced that the selection was
conditional.
1t was the understanding Of the
representatives of all the routes that
the definite dedication of cross-State
highway would not be officially set
tied until about October Is and the
route that showed the greatest eff
cheney at that time would be dedicated
as the official route.
Now the public is informed that the
central route will be officially dedi-
Gated either October Is or 10 and a
committee has been appointed to pre-
pare a programme. This does not
look like the Governor and the State
Board of Agriculture considers the
other routes as being in the contest at
all.
There is great enthusiasm in part
of the counties along the central route,
particularly in Boone, Galloway,
Montgomery and Lafayette counties.
Bonds have already been voted in
Lafayette County and bond PROPOSE
tons will be submitted in Boone,
Galloway and Montgomery counties
early in September
September the southern route adj
vocates will hold a meeting here, and
the Governor and the Board of Agri-
culture will likely be criticised for
their seeming haste to shut out the
other routes from competing for the
official cross-Statc highway.
