COMMERCE COURT SAVED.
EXTENDS LIFE UNTIL
JUNE
This Provision Included in ENccI.i,c.
Legislative and Judicial Bill Be-
fore the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 15.-By vote Of
50 to 20 the senate today adopted an
amendment to the executive legisla-
tive and judicial appropriation bill
lengthening the life of the commerce
court until June so, next. Under exist
ing law the court would become a
congress having failed to transfer the
jurisdiction Of the court and make ar
rangements for the disposition Of cases
then pending before it, the senate to-
day extended the life Of the court to
ennble it to clear up it's calendar. The
bill will have TO be agreed to by a
conference committee of the two
houses.
With machine-like precision the
Legislative bill carrying approximate-
ly $35,3S5,714, went through the pre-
liminary procedure of the senate and
probably will be passed early tomor-
row.
The commerce court D. on pre-
cipitated a lengthy debate. Progress
siVes, Democrats and Republicans
were split over the amendment, the
former contending that the court
should cease March 4, while many
members Of the other two parties
held that the court should be permit
ted to continue until congress had
taken some appropriate action for the
disposition of pending cases.
Termination Of the activities Of the
court March 4 would result in chaotic
condition in the business world, it is
claimed.
Senator Dixon (Progressive) de-
clared that the extension of time
would only result in the piling ND of
more cases in the commerce court.
The quicker it is abolished. the
happier t!e people of the country will
be-" he added
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who had
opposed the court, was in favor Of
transferring its jurisdiction to some
other tribunal before abolishing it.
Does the senator think the presi-
dent would approve a measure abol-
ishing the commerce court?" he asked
Senator Dixon.
Il am not in the confidence of the
president" replied the latter.

A Real Big Thing for The South.

The last week Of this month ano the
hrst OF the coming month there will
be, in this immediate section of the
South, an enterprise worthy of all the
stimulus the entire lower section, in
fact all the agricultural section. of
the country can give it. 1t is not a
State enterprise; not a sectional enter
prise, but broad educational one,
which should divert to this part Of the
country an attention which belongs to
1t, but has been too much given to the
West for too long time
Unfortunately, sometimes" we at
nome do not fully realize the import
Of many Of these things, until they
have been forced on our attention by
outsiders. In this particular instance
there appears to have been differ
ence, in that the attention given al
ready TO the exhibition of Southern
enterprise to be made in Columbia in
q few weeks has drawn an unusual
ly wide attention from the agricultu-
raj element all over the country-and
Yet, not as much as it deserved from
the people Of the South.
The National Corn Exposition will
be held this year in Columbia from
January p to February s. That it
comes from the great corn States Of
the West TO South Carolina is re-
markable, and is due in part to the
achievement Of South Carolina corn
growers who hold the worlds record
for production of corn per acre, and
to the enthusiasm and enterprise Of
South Carolinians in guaranteeing the
expenses of the exposition and pro-
viding specia. buildings for it. The
chief building, gigantic steel struc-
ture just erected, covers $1,000 feet
of floor space.
The exposition is Fundamentally
educational; it is planned and con-
Quoted on a unique basis and is de-
NOtCt enllrclN To the Detterment or
agriculture and the enrichment Of ru-
raj life. 1t presents a broad view of
agricultural progress and development
throughout the nation, extending from
work done by the federal department
of agriculture to the achievements by
individuals in many states during the
preceding year. The problem of the
farmer and of rural life will he en-
phasized and handled with ability.
Addresses by eminent men and lee
lures by experts will constitute one
Of the educational features
Under special authorization of con-
gress, the federal department of ag-
riculture will install here the largest
and most comprehensive exhibit it
has ever made.
Twcnty-scvcn States have pledged
exhibits featuring the +, sui; of the
experimental and research work of
their agricultural institutions
Eight hundred boy students of ag-
riculturc who are prize winners in the
corn and pig contests in their rcspec-
/ tive States will attend the exposition

Preacher Perryman TO Hnvc Try
Out Mt Marlin Springs.

1t appears that Manager John J. Nc
Graw is determined to have at least one
look at Preacher Perryman. the theo-
logical hurler Of the Virginia League, at
all hazards. He has exercised an option
on the young man, who is now at Roa-
noke. Perryman was supposed to report
at Marlin last spring. and for days and
days the Giant chief anXiously searched
the horizon for a glimpse of the youth,
who IS said to be several stories in
height, but Perryman came not. 1t is
said that he remained in Georgia to
complete his college course. and then re-
turned to the Virginia League, where
McGraw first heard of him a year ago.

In addition to this-if the pitcher
makes any complaint-the catcher
spreads the report the kids splitter

says he has to keep calling for the

objection of the recruit. 1t is gen.
