Passage of the first ship through
the canal brought to the San Diego
Exposition numerous congratulatory
kilograms from different sections OF
east and west. A prime object OF
the Exposition Beautiful in southern
California is to show the importance
to the west in the furnishing of low
freight rates to the ports, of which
San Diego is the first and the deve-
lopment OF railroads to carry goods
back and forth between tidewater
and the interior. The formal open
ing of the canal will be on Jan. l,
the day on which San Diego will
open its all-year celebration.

Severalwomen and Children from
the Ildefonso pueblo arrived this
week at San Diego and took up Their
quarters in the PAINTED Desert
which their braves have been build
ing for several weeks. . They have
added materially to the interest OF
the pre-exposjtion people and
visitors, for whose entertainment
they have been weaving rugs and
making pottery and hammering out
metal ornaments. These industries
will constitute one of the important
features of the 1915 Exposition,
when the real life of the American
red men of many tribes will be lived
on the desert" Of the Exposition
grounds. A large detachment of the
Indians will arrive after the crop
season.
The great Taos and Zuni pueblos
are about completed, their adobe
walls discolored in imitation of the
ancient structures in New Mexico
and Arizona. The row and low
adobe houses and the reconstructed
Governors palace are ready for
occupation, and the kivas, or half
buried ceremonial chambers, access
to which is obtained by a Ladder
leading downward from an opening
in the thick adobe roof, are waiting
for the first of the war-dances.
While the exhibit stands on the
lsthmus, or Amusement street, it's
accuracy is such" that it may be
classified as a portion of the ethnol-
ogy exhibit, the bulk of which is in
the great group of permanent build
ings by the west approach. A large
part of the display from Central and
South America is on the grounds
and some of it is in place.

Dear Herb:

Dear Herb:
This country out here is the Mecca
for moving picture people. Not that
they're Mohammedans or polygam-
list or anything like that-in fact
I'm told that they're just about as
nice a lot of folks as one could meet
and I'll say to you frankly that
I've seen several of them that Id
like to meet-one today in particu-
lar up on the Exposition grounds:
she was a peach, but she already
had a bunch Of soldiers tagging after
her, and while I'm as brave as the
average guy. I'll bet, never 60
around deliberately looking for trou-
BILE, anyway not with fellows who
make a living fighting. or getting
ready to fight-so | haven't met her
yet.
Say, did you ever see a motion
picture film in the making? It's
great! One of the big companies
has studio on the grounds at the
San Diego Exposition and they make
pictures every day. Pretty soft for
the company too. You know they
pay extra people from IS to SIS a
day. Here they just use any of
the crowds that are cumming

Washington, August 23,-At
three big expositions and thirty-slx
district and county fairs throughout
the North and West. exhibits of
Southern tarm products showing
the fine agricultural opportunities in

Great Southern Railload, Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Georgia S. uthern and
Florida Railway and Virginia and

that the attendance at the various
fairs and expositions will aggregate
three million people,, and the emit e

vertising which is expected to result
in the attraction of desirable settlers.
There will be four circuits of ex-
bibits taking in country and district
fairs in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New
York. Pennsylvania and Connect

elaborate scale will be made at the
great Canadian National Exposition
at Toronto. Canada, and at OIL:
expositions. Since the beginning I'll
the 1914 crop season, agents Of the
land and industrial department of
Southern Railway Company have
been at work gathering representa-
tive collections of agricultural prod
ucts, including grains, grasses, eee-
tables and fruit from every state
served by the system. Large pho
tographs showing farm and other
views in the South also will be USE d.
The exhibits will be in charge Of
agents thoroughly familiar with con.
ditions in the South who will be on
hand constantly to give information
desired about any locality. Special

Mrs. wilkins.

Western North Carolina Times.
Mrs. Bessie wilkins, aged 80 years
wife Of John T. Wilkins, died Mon
day night at their home in Hyman
Heights. She had been suffering
from q complication Of diseases for
about four months, and for the past
month she had been critically ILL.,
Everything that could be done by her
physicians, family and friends to ar
rest the progress of the disease
from which she died, was done, but
without avail. And just when her
love and help was most needed by
those around her. the dread sum-
mons came.
And now the question; Why should
this splendid wife and mother be
stricken while yet SO young, and
when her help was most needed by
those she loved and for whom she de-
lighted to labor. while the more
burdensome and less useful should be
permitted to remain? This question
will be asked and remain unanswer-
ed so long as life and love and death
shall be.
Mrs. wilkins was q daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Smith of Sumter.

kins in 1898. She had lived in Hen
dersonville seven years. her husband

Wisacky Crop Notes.

Wisacky. May 2O.-Farmers are
having many discouragements. Very
few have their cotton crop up because
Of the very dry weather. We have
not had a good rain in four weeks.
The oat crop is needing rain badly
and II we don't get rain in the next
ten days 1t will be a complete failure
in certain sections OF the commu-
nifty.
This section was visited with a
sand storm last week which did con-
siderable damage. Tho cotton was
killed In spots Of about two or three
acres and the corn was buried SO deep
that the most Of 1t had to be planted
over.

Absentee Landlorlism, tho South's
Greatest Menace.

Two and quarter million tenant

most Of tn perishable farm products.
the grain and the cotton Of America,
make the organizing and federation of
farmers for business-like marketing
q stupendOus. If not almost an impos-
sible undertaking"
This was statement made by
Charles w. Holman. of the University
OF Wisconsin, at the recent confer
ence on Marketing and Rural Credits
at Chicago. "The richest and most
productive Of American States are
today confronting a problem Of alb
sentee landlordism that bids fair In
the near future to be the all engross-
ing task Of statesmen and econo-
mists." said Mr.. Holman.
In dealing with this land question
simple palliatives can do no good cx-
cept delay the final crisis. In the
South, on account of our racial prob
lem, absentee landlordism is much
more intolerable than in all-white
communities. When q white man
moves to town and puts negro ten
ants down on his place as neighbors
to white landowning farmers who
don't want to move to town. ard in
the meantimes places q prohibitive
price upon the land, 1t makes a bad
economic condition still more acute
and an additional social problem. 1t
Is only through the agency of taxa
tion that this evil can be mitigated
by legislation. An absentee land tax
and q graduatd land tax on large
holdings will help wonderfully. The
speculative value of land will never
be reduced until we get after the "un-
earned increment" with the kind of
tax that will make it improbable to
retain large holdings of land purely
for speculative purposes. The quick
est and most practical way to reduce
the speculative prices Of Nd so that
men without homes can \dEs to use

1t is IA right 70 'proSid cheap
money to farmers for the pkpose of
buying homes. but unless you head
of the spectators they will boost the
price Of land just as the demand for
land increases when you provide bet
ter means with which to buy. What
will 1t profit q poor man to be provid-
cd with credit sufficient to make him
a land purchaser. II land spectators
are permitted to double the price of
the land which he Is to buy? Wouldn't
rural credits" under such circum-
stances be an economic delusion?
Perhaps palliatives may be permit
