The Corn Show

Columbia, s. C. Jan. 18.-A
complete presentation of the
farmers cooperative societies
of the western states. will be an
interesting educational feature
of the Iowa State exhibit at the
Fifth National Corn Exposition,
which opens here the 9th Of
this month. The exhibit will
show the methods by which
these societies conduct their
affairs, and especial emphasis
will be laid on the cooperative
grain elevator organizations. A
model grain elevator will be
demonstrated in actual operation,
and the exhibit will be supple
mented by a series of lectures
giving full knowledge of the
various phases of these cooper
ative societies.
The development of these far
mers' cooperative societies in
Iowa has proceeded to greater
extent, probably, than in any
other State OF the Union, and it
is especially fitting that such an
exhibit should come from this
State. The exhibit has been pre-
pared under the direction of the
agricultural extension depart
ment of the Iowa State College,
at Ames. 1t will be demonstrated
by G. G. Messerole and H. F.
Atwood, both of whom arc
thoroughly familiar with the
operation Of these elevators and
the conduct Of the cooperative
societies.
This Iowa exhibit is an illus
tration of one Of the fundament-
al purposes of the National Corn
Exposition-to emphasize and
explain the valuable results
which have been achieved by
individual farmers and farmers
organizations in various sections,
in their efforts to facilitate the
handling and systematic the
distribution and marketing of
the products of the farm. max
ing this process moro satisfac-
tory and less expensive to the

DO THEY WANT A PRIMARY?

Editor News:-In regard to
the preferential postoffice pri-
mary, it occurs to me to ask this
question. Do the people want a
primary, or is it a move on the
part of certain candidates, only?
VOTER.
The question is a proper one,
but not easily answered.
Petitions have been signed by a
majority of the voters Of the
several postoffice districts in
question, asking the county
committee to call a primary. 1t
is presumed these petitioners
are sincere. On the other hand
several candidates known to be
opposed to n primary have been
endorsed by a large number of
voters. 1t is to be presumed also,
that these last named voters are
not particular about the matter,
one way or another. SO, there
you are. There seems to be no
way of deciding definitely and
positively whether "the people
want a primary" or not, in
view of this petition matter,
except to ask the people direct.
These petitions, gotten up on the
spur of the moment, are a puzzle
anyway. Some of them contain
numbers of Republicans. Others
contain many names of voters
who would not vote for the
candidate in an election, to
save his neck" Many voters
signed every petition presented
to them. And so it goes. They
are a sort of chinese puzzle at
best. What effect these names
will have at Washington, or
whether they indicate that the
people want a primary no one
can say.

WHAT MIR. ELLYSON SAID

There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to what Mr..

cratic party, said in regard to

ton for postmaster at TaZewell.
We give below his letter to us,
under date of November Goth.
Editor News : Yours of Nov.
Goth received.
1T is proper for the Demo-
Gratis of Tazewell to make any
arrangements they choose to de-
termine who shall be postmaster
at Tazwell. If they deem it best
to use the party machinery to
determine their choice it will be
all right to do 50. There is no
special form of prodceure for
such an election as this, and any
plan that may be adopted by
those most interested will be en-
tirely proper"

A GOOD MOVE

The determination, on the part
of Superintendent Thompson and
the school officials to hold a
School Fair this fall should com
mend itself to every patron of
the schools and every citizen of
the county, and we presume
such is the case. Other counties
in the State have held such Fairs
with gratifying results. This
paper has more than once urged
this move, and takes great
pleasure in commanding the
scheme most heartily. 1t goes
without saying that there should
be hearty cooperation by
patrons and teachers all over the
county and in every school in
the county. Many of the schools
will be closing soon, and no time
is to be lost. Every teacher
should feel special pride in this
scheme and show what they can
do. 1t is a great move which
means much for the future of
the county and schools.

LARGEST AND BEST

The Agricultural exhibit at

must be, the largest and best we
have ever had.
The Inauguration of the School
Fair, to be held in connection
with the Fair will add greatly tC

partments of the agricultural
exhibit, viz: the domestic and
needlework departments. Let
no one think that the School
Fair is to supplant, in any man.

And now right now-is the
time to prepare for the cam

soil, what and where to plant -
selection of seed and all, should
commence at once. The old folks
must look to their laurels, else
the youngsters will out-do them.
We must set the young people
an example-such an example of
industry and care and apprecia-

life, as will inspire them to
hearty emulation. Begin now to
think about and plan for the

Mrs. LOuettie Bailey

Mrs. Louettie Bailey, daughter
of Mr.. H. H. and Mrs. Amanda
Barnett, was born Jan. 18th,
1874, departed this life at her
home in Wyoming county, West
Virginia, December 10th, 1912.
Included between the dates
given was a life dear to many.
of singularly beautiful traits,
and worthy of more than passing
notice.
When a woman is not forgot
ten by her church or community
through many years it is because
of worthiness. Mrs. Bailey is
well remembered and well loved
in the community where she
was reared. To here parents she
was obedient; to her brothers
and sisters, sweet and affection
ate, she was so unselfish. Her
parents wish was the law of her
life.
Mrs. Bailey pro fessed religion
when but a girl. Under the
ministry of Rev. j. T. Frazier
she joined the Methodist church,
at old Gregory's Chapel, on
Clear Fork-she was enrolled at
Mt. Olivet. 1t is not saying too
much to say, though I'M
obtrusively, she lived a goodly,
useful life.
She was married to Mr.. Bailey
Oct. 18th, 1892. The Lord blessed
the union. Both parents were
members of the church, trying
in their humble way . to serve
the Lord. There were eleven
children given them; seven sons
and four daughters. Nine of
them are still living, and the
baby, a little boy, is Just two
years old; how the little fellow
will miss his mother!
For several years Mrs. Bailey
has been in declining health,
butin the midst of it all, she
was resigned. She endured as
seeing him who is invisible.
Living such a life her influence
was farreaching; she had espe-
cially the respect of those who
knew her best.
Her death was peaceful. On
the morning of her demise she
had all the family brought in,
gave them, with adieu, parting
messages, put her arm around
her sister Kate's neck, saying,
You'll soon have no sister
Louettie," and then smiling.
closed her eyes and was gone.
The husband and children,
father and mother, sisters and
brothers feel the pang Of parting
here. They sorrow not as thou
who have no hopes"
1t is sweet to think that lives
so beautiful re-bloom on shore
where the frost of death never
falls. A FRIEND

Toms Greek Va, jar. 5th.
Editor News 1t is with dc p
and sincere regret that, fron
your last issue, | learn of the
death of Mr.. S. E. Rosenbaum.
For perhaps more than twenty
five years Mr.. Rosenbaum was
one of our nearest neighbors in
Burke's Garden, and was a
"neighbor" in the best sense of
that term. | do not remember
ever to have seen him lose his
temper, and | never heard Of his
having a difficulty with any one.
In cases Of sickness or death,
he was the first to offer his
services, along with The use of
anything in the world he had
that might be needed. AT those
sorrowful times when death
came into the homes of the very
poor, there was no one more
ready than he TO tender the use
of team and vehicle, adding
thereto his own courteous,
modest and thoughtful attentions
and ministrations. While never
a pretentious man, yet he was,
from my early childhood, my
ideal of the good and useful
citizen and Observation-Disclosures
sible to the community where he
spent the best years of his life.
| never myself called upon Mr..
Rosenbaum for a favor that it
was not forthcoming, if reason
ably within his power 10 grant
same at the moment; and Inever
knew him to deny a member Of
our family, circumstances max
ing it possible for him t. comply.
He did not hesitate to incon-
venience himself for his friends.
The last time | met Mr.. Rosen-
baum, it was by appointment, to
render to our family an appre-
ciated service, for which he
declined compensation.
He was loyal to his church,
IalCntul In MS attendance and
happy in the singing of the
songs Of Zion, and never holding
back when there was anything
to be done. Other men accum.

Stephen E. Rosenbaum were laic
up in heaven, where mel the,

where thieves do not breal

were not the riches of mammon
and his memory will inspire the
living. Peace to his ashes.

Butchering The Language

Are either and neither pro-
nounced "eether" and neither
or "eyether" and "neyther?"
This question, much disputed, is
answered in favor of eether"
and neether" by Julian w.
Alternately in useful little book
entitled Correct Pronuncia-
ton" and published by Charles
E. Merrill of New York. Not d
single modern dictionary gives
"eyether" the preference, says
the little book and goes on tC
quote Richard Grant White, who
says "eyether" is an affectation
and a second rate British affecta-
ton at that. Which should hold
the "eyether" advocates while.
And now about the word vase.
It's pronounced "vace," whether
it comes from the 10-cent store
or Tiffany's. "Vace" is wrong,
says the book, and "vawz" is
vulgar. Another tally for us old
fashioned folks.
Perhaps you've been confused
by hearing people talk about
rice" and finding out after
ward that they meant the noun
rise. Well, they were wrong,
too. A straw vote Of the best
modern dictionaries hands the
preference "rize" as the proper
pronunciation.
Another word that is fire.
quently mispronounced is depot.
1t should be "deepo, not
"deppo" or "daypo."
Our old friend, Jean Vatican,
of course, is properly "Zahr
Valzhan," and the great state OF
Kansas is pronounced as though
the first s were a z. The folks
who insist on making it soft are
all to the bad.
J. Pierront Morgan is g
fnnanseer not fynanseer."
The Rena ssancs is pronounced
"renesans," accent on the last
syllable not Renaysans anC
Salome gets her last syllable
pronounced.
Poets are filled with the divine
"alilytus, not the divine
afllaatus. "
The ruler of Japan is the
mikado, with the accent on the
second syllable, as all seriou.
minded students of Gilbert ant
Sullivan know, and never the
mickadoo.
Gibberish is pronounced with
a hard g, and not "jibberish, y
and the word flaccid is flaksid, ,
not nasid."
Amateur is "amaturr," moi
"amatoor" or amachoor.
The antipodes Australia, you
know are pronounced anti
podcez. j"
When the wind soughs through
the branches it sows;" never
"sutfs."
A faucet is a "fawset, " not
fasset".
