THE 1913 CORN EXPOSITION.
Will BE Held in Columbia Next Year.
Grrnt Show Anticipated.

Columbia, Feb. 2.--Speciai: The
fifth National Corn Exposition will
be held in Columbia, S. c., January
27th to February Sth, 1913. The
four previous expositions were held
in the Northern States, and the Sc
lection Of a Southern State for the
next is an acknowlei.'em Of the
fact that the South is "o longer
looked upon rs purely a C'tton-pro-
ducing section.
For the first time in the history
Of the country, all sections-East
North and Wcst-will have an op-
portunity to meet in the South for
the holding Of great National Ag-
ricultural Exposition.
Those who are familiar with the
past history OF this movement, and
what it stands for in its relation to
agricultural education and develop
ment, know that ii is more than a
mere corn show. The competitive
exhibits OF corn, other grains and
exposition. The great feature will
be the exhibits and demonstrations
or the various State agricultural col
leEeS and experiment stations and
the United States Department Of Ag-
rlculture. These exhibits will depict
in graphic and forceful manner the
various lines Of agricultural expert
mcntation and investigation being
carried on by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and the diff
fcrent State agricultural institutions.
Each exhibit will be in charge of
experts, who will explain the details
to the visiting farmers and point out
how the results of this work may be
applied to their own farm conditions.
In addition to this there will be a
dispaly OF farm and dairy equipment
and machinery, more extensive than
anything ever assembled In the
South before. In the dairy division
there will be representative ami
mails OF the various dairy breeds,
brought together under the auspices
Of the National Dairy Cattle Club;
also modern milk handling plant,
where cheese and butter will be
made.
Conservation, country life and
rural school problems will be treat
ed in a fundamental way, both
thr0noh Nv
national reputation.
There will be competitive classes
for all kinds Of grain, grasses and
cotton. AS this exposition Is ma
tional in It's scope it is necessary to
limit the number Of competitive ex-
hibits to the prize winners in their
respective State shows. In this way
only the best that has been produced
by each State will be exhibited to
compete for zone, national and inter-
national sweepstakes trophies.
Two years will intervene between
this exposition and the one held at
Columbus. Ohio, in 1911. This
length OF time will enable the man
agement to put on a show at Column
bia that will far surpass any exposi-
tloh or this kind previously held

1t is funny that one woman will

There is such a thing as Il limit.
Some women are so we'll formed and
big limbed and solid that they re-

SO fragile and skinny that If they ate

Is the morning after.
A woman is so used to hearing a

Those who arrive in the cabins of
the great transatlantic liners or on
Pullman cars across the border do not
come into personal touch with the
immigration officials. and very few OF
them realize that the same period Of
probation extends to them. The law
makes nc distinction between first
cabin and Storage, and there have
been many who have discovered later
that h immigration service can act
without consideration of the circum-
stances of their coming.
The three-year clause in the inn
migration law covers every class of
arriving alien except the immoral wo-
man and the p%rocurer. Under the re-
cent amendment, known as the white
slave law. such persons car be arrest

AN oFFIC1An MATTER.

When the governor of q state does
o believe in capital punishment. but
the laws of his state provide for such
punishment. what is his duty in cases
where capital punishment Is decreed
by the courts. and the governor has
the p%ardoning power. Not a few men
placed in this position have taken
counsel Of their sentiment rather than
their reason. and have commuted SEN
fences contrary to the real intent Of
the law Of the state.
Governor West of Oregon takes the
distinctly modern view of capital pun
ishmcnt. and opposes it as both bar
barous and useless. 1t certainly is
barbarous-at least in the sense that
all primitive peoples have kept the
hangman and the headsman busy;
but none OF them. one notices, ever
failed to view both Of those officials
with a mingling Of hatred and horror,
a fact which provides a significant
commentary on the assumption that
the service they performed was ben
efictal to society.
AS to the uselessness of capital pun
ishment, that is still NJ open question.
With an obvious tendency everywhere
toward the abolition Of this penalty.
We know that the gallows and the
electric chair do not prevent the com.
mission of murder entirely. and we
are not sure. though most of lis in

IN refusing to execute it. Governors
are not intrusted with the power of
pardon for that purpose, but in order
that in case of real need they MAY
remedy the laws defects as applied to
individuals.
The people Of Oregon refused to
take the death penalty out Of their
CODE. and therefore Governor West,
though he hates it and says SO with
visor, permitted the legal killing of

to save. and would have saved II there
