December 5-8, 1910, which is the fivst undertaking of its kind at tempted in the South, gives every promise of being a great success. The State Corn Contest and the Boys' Corn Clubs have developed and are still developing the pub lic interest in the matter of yields of corn. Now, that so much has been accomplished in that direc tion, this Corn Exposition is to D3 held with a view of setting the machinery in motion to im- .....

At the exposition all ex ' hibits will be judged as to quali ty whether they are from lots of corn from the large producing areas or not. They will be scien tifically judged and scored and the corn from a low yield field stands an equal chance with any other. I would, therefore, urge all corn growers, men or boys, who have what they consider good corn, either prolific or single ear, white or yellow, to apply at once to M. J. Miller, Superintendent of Entries, Department of Agri culture. Columbia, S. C, for premium list?, entry blanks and shipping" instructions, and enter the competition.

An Editor Sentenced to Jail. F. D. Warren, of Girard, Kan., editor of "Appeal to Reason," a Socialist nublication, must serve a term of six months in the Fed eral prison at Leavenworth, Kan., and pay a fine of $1,000 imposed by a jury in the United States Court in Kansas. The sentence of that court has been affirmed by an order of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Warren was accused of sending through the mails envelopes on the outside of which was printed: "One thousand dollars will be paid to any person who kidnaps ex-Governor Taylor and returns him to the Kentucky authori ty." The indictment charged that the words were defamatory and threatening, and intended to re flect injuriously on the character of William S. Taylor, former Governor of Kentucky. Warren has given notice of appeal to the United States Supreme Court P. C. Whitlock. Florence. S. C. In Charlotte Ob server. It was Emerson, wasn't it, who said if a man could do something better than anybody else the world would beat a path to his door? Well, the path to Jerry Moore's house is getting pretty slick. I added the weight of my footsteps, so to speak, to-day, though I was in an automobile Jerry is the champion boy corn grower of the world. He lives in the county of Florence, and State of South Carolina, near the station with the winsome name of "Winona." His father, Rev. J. H. Moore, is a Methodist preacher, and they live in the parsonage hard by the little brick church of Liberty chapel. As we turned in and stopped the engine at the front gate, we knew we had struck the right place by the incredible path of corn stalks off to one side. In front of the barn door was a lit tle slip of a fellow in blue over alls and brogan shoes. He was tying a hamestring on a big awk ward horse. As he was the only one in sight, we greeted him by asking: "Are you the fellow that raised the corn?" "I am the one," h answered. And so here we were face to face with a hero. If Dean Swift had known Jer ry Moore when he was talking about the man who made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, what would he have said. Jerry made 228 bushels and 3 pecks of corn grow where only about ten bushels had grown before. Heroes do not look like heroes. Jerry Moore is 15 years old and small for his age. He might tip the beam at 65 pounds, but it would be close. He is a modest, demure lad, and does not seem to think it any big thing to be the champion of the world. He showed us his pile of corn and what a pile it was to come off of one acre of land! He had it shucked and planked off in one end of the crib, and overflowing innumerable barrels and boxes besides. We asked him what he would take for an ear. "I'll give you an ear," he said. And he went in the house and brought out two fine ones that he had picked out "Here's one for each of you," he said. I told him I would write him up for the ear of corn. He said, "I have been wrote up enough already." We asked him for the facts, and he went in the house again and brought out a copy of the latest issue of The Manufactur er's Record. Awkwardly turn ing the big pages, he found a place with a blue pencil mark around it "Here is the record in here." he said, "you can read it for yourself." And so we read how Jerry Moore, of Winona, S. C, made the wonderful record of raising 228 bushels of corn on an acre of land. I send the article along just as he tore it out of the pa ner fcr me. I don't know but x. that you have copied it already from some of the papers. If not you can use such portions of it as you see fit There are some mis takes m the piece, tnough, 1 am quite sure the "cold distributer" mentioned is a "Cole" distribu ter, made in Charlotte. Jerry planted Botts' Prolific corn. This came from North Carolina, also. Mr. Botts made 226 bushels on an acre in Wake county last year. Jerry beat him with his own seed. One might ask what sort oi land this boy raised his corn on. It is poor sandy land, such at hundreds cf farmers in North and South Carolina have worn out and moved away from be cause they thought they couldn't make a living on it. The most significant thing about the story of Jerry Moore is the indomitable grit and courage of the boy. Think of hauling 300 wagonloads of rich dirt out of the swamps and branches, and then 50 loads of stable manure. Jerry didn't go after that prize in a half-handed fash ion. He went after it to get it and he got it. In fact he dosen't know how many prizes he did get Some say they will amount to $1,000. I haven't investigated to find out I know one thing: Jerry Moore is a smart boy, and his father ought to be proud of him. Mr. the McKesson Always Equal to Occasion. Statesville Landmark. The Democrats of Burke, a few nights ago, celebrated in Mor ganton the recent Democratic victory. After various Demo cratic orators had spoken the called on Postmaster Charlie Mc Kesson, who was a spectator, tc say a few words at the funeral of his party, so to speak. Char lie was equal to the occasion, as asual, as the following report of the Raleigh News and Observer'? correspondent shows: He McKesson hesitated a Til Ten-Mile Race Between Rutherford and Lenoir Colleges Dec. 5th. Correspondence of The News-Herald. Everything is being put in readiness for the ten-mile relay race between Rutherford and Lenoir colleges. The race will begin about a mile below Con nelly Springs, run by way of Hildebrand. and end by the pub lic square in Hickory. The miles have all been marked off, and the people along the road are re quested to see that their dogs do not interfere with the runners. At three o'clock sharp, Mon day afternoon, December 5th, as the pistol shot rings out, the race will begin. Written mes sages to be deliyered at Hickory will have been given to the rep resentatives of each school who are to start the race and run the first mile. Each of these two J men will run at nis pest s-prca for his mile, and as he nears the end of that mile the judges there awaiting him will line up two other men, one from each school. As each runner comes up he hands his message to the second runner from his school, and that man starts right off without waiting for the other fellow. Of course the latter also arrives in a few moments, hands his message to his mate, and that one then starts off to overtake and out strip his opponent Thus the . race will continue witn varying prospects for the entire ten miles and no time will be lost Some of the teachers from each school will follow the runners for the whole course. Each runner's individual time will be recorded, so that the peo ple can tell just where the ra.e was lost or won. About four o'clock the two men on the tenth mile will dash in sight of the square at Hickory, and in a few moments thereafter the race will be over. Should the roads not be m good condition on the fifth, the race will be postponed until the twelfth. All members of the teams have been training for some weeks, running a mile every day. The sport will be very interesting ana some gooo records will be made. ANSWERS EVERY CALL. rr mm v - Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Chicago, 111.
