Southern, the Cincinnati, New Orleans,
and Texas Pacific, and the Virginia &
SouthWestern) at three great exposi-
tons and ~hirty-five district and coun-
ty fairs in the North and Middle West
during the late summer and fall. This
is the most extensive campaign of this
character ever undertaken for attract
ing settles to the Southern States and
will place their advantages in the
striking way before thousands of
sturdy farmers of just the type that is
desired in the South.
Special exhibits will be made at the
Canadian National exhibition at To-
ronto, August % to September 8, the
attendance of which touches the mil
lion mark, the famous dairy show at
Waterloo, Iowa, in November, and In

Der. Exhibits al district and county
fairs in New York, Connecticut. Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Hill
nois, Wisconsin,, Iowa, and Minnesota,
have been arranged in four circuits,
running from August 5 to late in Oc-
tober.
The work of preparing those exhibits
has been underway since the close of
the fair season in 1912. Since the be-
ginning of the new crop season, agents
have been at work with the result that
from every state on the lines of the
Southern System, there have come
most representative collections of ag-
dsculducts, including grains, grasses.
vegetables, and fruit. Large photo
graphs showing farm and other views
in the South will also be used. The
exhibits will be in charge of agents
who r thoroughly familiar with con-
ditions in the South and who will be ON
hand. constantly to give information de-
sired about any locality. Special leaf
lets and booklets have been prepared
and several hundred thousand will be
placed in the hands of prospective set
tiers.
These exhibits are being made en-
tirely at the expense of the Southern
Railway and affiliated lines. The ter
ritory seved by them and the whole
Southeast will be given wide adver-
Using which should be productive of
much good for the section.
In addition to this series of exhibits
at Northern fairs and eXpositions, the
Southern Railway and affiliated lines
will make educational exhibits at a
large number of fairs throughout the
South, detailed announcement of
which will be made later.

Senator Lee S. Orerman Commenced.

Senator Lee S. Overman Commended.
Washington Correspondent Balti-
more Sum-
The lobby investigation by the United
States senate is even now certain to
establish Lee S. OveTman, Junior SEN
ator from North Carolina, in a posi-
ton of power in that body.
It is Overman who heads the lobby
rrobers. He is the backbone of the
whole investigation. He made the
fights on the floor for more time and
more money to press the Inquiry to
the bottom, regardless of how many
fathOms deep that bottom is. He de-
termines the course and fixes the
policy of the committee.
When the Mulhal letters came out
an dit was apparent thae some sensa-
tors and Representatives might be-
come seriously involved, Overman,
instead of ~soft-pedaling his investiga-
ton announced that it should go on,
1egardless of whom it hit or how
many of his friends were hit.
This investigation has started tame
". Each member of the senate was
called and politely asked what ne
knew of the presidents charges that
Q lobby was at work in Washington.
II locke dfo "a time that the commit
tees report could be made in a week
and the fact vouched for that no SEN
ator or gressm had been impro-
perly influenced by the lobbyists.
As the probe went IN, however.
clues of lobbying began to develop.
A faint thread of suspicious work was
discovered here and a trace OF 1t was
pursued there. Then the omm1ttee
suddenly opened up a wilderness OF
lobbying. The exposures we're SO Tar
reaching and startling that the COM
mittee itself was at first too beWllder-
ed to do more than assure the coun-
try that all the facts should be known.
Every fresh development is further
indicating Senator Overman's assur-
ance that no whitewash would be ap-
piled to his committee.
Mr.. Oyerman has been a senator LOT
ten years. Until last March 4 he was
a member of the minority, but he was
preparing to take his place IN the
leadership of his party in the senate.
The Carolina senator's most 1mpor-
tant move, after the democrats 10
ganiZed the senate was to make a de-
mand upon that body that the CIVIL
services of the United States be inVes-
tgated. He made a strong speech on
the senate floor about a month ago,
IN which he showed by a republican
testimony that the civil service laws
mad been applied for years to strength
Ell the republican party in govern
Mental machinery.
He showed that under the republic
can administration every department
mad been crowded with officeholders
and produced the report of President
Tafts economy and efficiency COM
mission to bear him out.
Down in North Carolina the people
like to remark that years ago Lee
oVerman was Senator "Zeb" Vance's
private secretary.
AS chairman of the senate commit
ice on rules, as ranking member OF
me committee on judiciary and as a
member of the powerful appropr1a-
uons and claims committees, Senator
oVerman is in a position to render hne
service to his state and to his party.

"The thirty-four steam shovels now
in the cut handle only 100000 cubic
Yards OF earth and rock per month.
which output will be greatly reduced
. the depth of the cut increases and
tho available room for shoveling is re-
duced. Colonel Goehals, however, has
assembled fifteen dredges with a
monthly capacity of 100000 cubic
Yards and these will be 1oated in the

Meanwhile, not content with digging
awav at the base of the cliffs, the en-
gineers in their haste to open up the
waterway begun to tear away the top
Of the hills with great Jets of water

earth into the bed of the canal whence

dredges and pumps and discharged

The : food accommodations will be

The Popular Aeroplane.
Then there will be the very popular
aeroplane to attract the crowd. The
fact that almost all of the airmen
who have exhibited at the fair
grounds here have been killed or in
tured at other fairs has made the
local field a place to be avoided by
n airmen. Frank Sites is, how
ever. one Of the most daring men in
the country and says that he is not

wonderful work with the aeroplane,

FARMERS INSTITUTE
DOING GOOD WORK
ORGANIZED JUST TEN YEARS
AGO 1T is BECOMING GREAT
FACTOR FOR GOOD.

Those who are not familiar with
the workings of the Virginia State
Farmers institute, which Is to hold
on the 7th and sth of this month. will
be interested TO know something about
the past history of the organization.
The institute was organized In the
city of Roanoke ten years ago to pro-
vide the farmers of the State with a
medium for securing certain needed
legislation essential to the welfare of
the agricultural districts. and also for
securing enlightenment along the lines
of increased production and improved
methods of farming in general 1t
was deemed best to incorporate so as
to provide the organization. and those
farmers who are members, with stand
ing in the courts in case Of any neces-
sary legal proceedings. Governor
Tyler was made the first president, and
was given a board of ten directors
selected from the ten congressional dis
tricts of the State. The organization
has grown steadily each year until the
total nm bership has now reached
1900, who pay each 81 per year for
the support of the work. Two ses-
sions are held each year. one in the
winter and one in the summer. and
1t Is an iunerant organization at all
times.
The work done by the institute has
been fruitful in results. II has faith
cred a great deal Of useful legislation,
notably the establishment of lime
grinding plants, the tee hill. regulating
the quality and sale of ice cream, the
pure seed bill. and has taken ea active
part in many other progressive meas
ures in behalf of the farmers. 1t Is
now defending the constifutionality OF
the ground limestone act before the
Supreme court. 1t provides Il medium
for the full and Intelligent discussion
of certain problems which yearly con-
front those engaged in agricultural
pursuits, thereby opening up way
for the solution Of many of them. 1t
has no salaried officers. and each one
pays his own expenses wherever he
goes at all times
A department in the work of the
institute which is being developed
more each year is that for women and
girls, and this particular meeting VIII
be especially interesting because OF
the special demonstration work which
includes some features along this line
which have never before been pre-
scented at a melting Of the Nargina
State Farmers institute.
The program for the coming meet
ing is one of unusual merit has beer
arranged with great care, and is at
tracing widespread attention. More
than ordinary interest liz being eTincet
in the Institute this year in recogni'
ton of the good work accomplished BY
It. All reports coming from the office
of the secretary indicate o record at
tendance.
