THE CORN SHOW.

National Corn Show, and we
were so much impressed with
what we saw that we wish to
urge upon every man, woman
and child in Lancaster county
who has not seen this great ex-
hibition not to hesitate about
the matter, but to go down,
even if they have to return the
same day. The farmers, es-
pecially, should avail them
selves of this great opportunity
to see not only what other parts
of the state are doing, in the
way of improved methods in
farming, but what other states
of the American Union are do
ing. If ones time is limited,
he can leave here at either six
or eight-thirty o'clock in the
morning and on arriving in Co.
lumbia at the union station take
a car for the show grounds and
can spend two or three hours
there and get back the same
day. But if possible, by all
means, remain over for two
days. If you decide to go, and
we hope you will, take with you
a note book and pencil and
make memoranda of the most
important things you see and
take up each exhibit separately.
You will find courteous gentle
men and ladies in charge of the
exhibits, who will cheerfully
answer all questions. South
Carolina shows up we'll. The
experimental station at Glenn
son College has a very fine ex-
hibit. The effect of terracing
land is shown, also the effect of
drainage. A state map of the
different counties where large
yields of corn were made by
boys last year is on exhibition,
indicated by red marks. Lancas-
ter, York, Chester, Greenville
and Spartanburg are the prin-
cipal counties. Corn fertilizer
results are exhibited, showing
the relative amout of grain and
fodder produced by using the
various kinds of fertilizers. The
South Carolina department of
commerce and industries has a
separate exhibit, which does
credit to Mr.. E. j. Watson, the
commissioner. Indiana has a
good exhibit. The following
printed matter hung up in the
Indiana booth, expresses the
right idea:
I'VE are for better farming,
Better Live Stock,
Better Soils,
Better Crops,
A contented, prosperous peo-
pie"
After South Carolina, we
were particularly impressed
with the exhibits of Virginia,
North Carolina, New York,
Texas, Alabama, Washington,
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ohio and
Missouri, but as a matter of
fact each state represented
made good showing. But
don't fail to see the miniature
Country Community Center"
in charge of Misses Carney and
Taft, who are enthusiastic
takers with whom you will be
charmed. This represents, in
miniature, a community in the
country with % acres of land
and 10 miles from any railroad,
yet they have almost every
modern convenience for coun-
try community of progressive
people. 1t shows the follow
ing:

2. Church.

an important statement on the ques-
ton.
Washington, D. c., April 15.-The
report that President Wilson intimated
TO Ambassador Bryce that the settle
ment of the Panama tolls question
would be favorable TO Great Britain is
credited generally in official circles,
because it is thought that Wilson's
personal friendship for the retiring am
bassador would account for their init
mate conversation on this point just
before Bryce's departure. though Will
son had been-urged MOTTO give a for
NAL expression of his views until the
tariff is disposed of in the present ses-
sion of congress. Wilson is said to
realize that the tolls question might,
if brought up at present, divide the
democratic majority and cause embar-
rassment to the tariff question, which
he regards as paramount.

POPE is GAINING;
TWITS PHYSICIAN

Rome, April 15.-The pope's condi-
ton appeared practically unchanged
today. The morning bulletin of the
physicians read:
THE holy father again is without
fever this morning His temperature
is 81. HIS cough has diminished and
expectoration has become easy and
copious. The pontiff's general condi-
ton has also been satisfactory"
Prof. Marchiafava issued the follow
ing statement:
The illness of the pope is now TAX
ing a normal course. The patient was
much better during the forenoon after
nights rest. There was a slight
setback late yesterday afternoon when
his temperature rose slightly. If it is
possible to induce the pope to follow
orders of his medical advisers, amelio-
ration of his condition will bring a re-
vival of strength. In other words, re-
cOvery is chiefly in his own hands. The
pope is a most difficult patient to deal
with. While apparently giving in TO
! the recommendations of his physicians
LllC LllOIllCHL Ilt ltVIo SIG ully DclltI uS
insists on having his own way, saying
| 1 command here"
! Clearing up of the weather today
was taken as a hopeful augury for the
! recovery of the pope.
The pope joked with Marchiafava
and congratulated him on the realiza
ton of his prediction of his recovery
MarChiafava answered:
Il will make another prediction. You
will have a further relapse if you dc
not patiently fulfill the doctors com
mands."
At II o'clock the pope was assisted
from his bed and removed to an arm
chair close by. He had been there
only few minutes when he showed
signs of dissatisfaction.
That tyrant Marchiafava," he re
marked, 'forbids me to walk. At least
carry me to a window so may enjoy
the sun"
This was done At noon the pontif
took chicken jelly, which seemed to re
fresh him greatly.
