The South's Great Corn
Crop.
Atlanta, Ga., November 18,
(Special) The splendid progress
which the South is making in
the movement for the produc
tion of food supplies at home is
well evidenced in the figures as
to the corn crop for 1910 given
in the last report of the Crop Re
porting Board of the Bureau of
statistics of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
eight states of the Southeast
traversed by the Southern Rail
way, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alaba
ma, Mississippi, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, show an increase over
1909 of 91,247,000 bushels, the
production of corn in these states
having jumped in one year from
460,728,000 bushels to 551,975,
000 bushels.
While this increase in produc
tion is partly due to an increase
of 1,535,000 in acreage planted
in corn in these states, it is also
due to an increase of 2.5 bushels
in the average production per
acre, showing the use of im
proved methods of culture as
well as the planting of greater
acreage in corn. The produc
tion of corn in the eight states
for the years 1909 and 1910 was
as follows:
1910 1909
Virginia 54,621,000 47,238,000
N. C. 57,754,000 48,686,000
S. C. 44,733,000 37,(1,000
Georgia 64,808,000 61,160,000
Alabama 63,432,000 43,646,000
Miss. 66,256,000 40,745,000
Ky. 104,075,000 103,472,000
Tenn. 96,296,000 78,650,000
Totau 551,975,000 460,728,000
This shows a total increase of
91,247,000
These figures show an increas
ed production in each of the
eight states, Mississippi having
the greatest increase, with Ala
bama second, and Tennessee
third. The average production
per acre shows an increase in
each with the exception of Ken
tucky. The figures are:
1910 1909 Increase
VA. 25.5 23.2 2.3
N. C. 18.8 16.8 - 2.0
S. C. 18.5 16.7 1.8
Ga. 14.3 13.9 0.4
Ala. 18.0 14.5 4.5
Miss. 20.5 14.5 6.0
Ky. 28.6 29.0 0.4 (de'ce)
Tenn. 25.9 22.0 3.9
Average 21.2 18.7 2.6
This increase in the produc
tion of corn in the South is one
of the most encouraging features
of Southern agricultural progress
one of the results of the general
movement throughout the South
for diversified agriculture. This
movement the Southern Rail
way Company is endeavoring to
encourage ana assist, ieenng
that the general prosperity which
will result throughout the South
will more than compensate it for
any direct loss of revenue by
reason of decreased movement
of grain and other food supplies
from the West.
This increase of 91,247,000
bushels in the South's production
of corn and the much greater in
creases that are expected in the
next few years will enable the
farmers of this section to save
the enormous sums which they
have been sending to the West
for corn and other food supplies
and consequently to realize a
greater profit from cotton and
other market crops. Economic
authorities agree in
declaring
the American corn crop the basis
of the country's prosperity since
in such a large measure the pro
Murder Near Liberty, i
Grover Blayiock KM by Mc
Burton.
Last Sunday night about mid
night three miles southeast of
Liberty across the line in Ala
mance county, Grover Blalock
was shot and instantly killed by
Jake Burton. The murder oc
curred at a house of bad repute
where the men had met. Bur
ton was in the house when Bla
lock knocked for admission, and
being told to stay out, he batter
ed down the door and as he en
tered, Burton fired upon him
with a shot gun with fatal re
sults. Burton went to Graham
and surrendered to the officers
and it is claimed will put up the
plea of self defense.
Burton is 55 years old while
his victim is only 23. Young
Blalock is a noted character and
has quite a record in the crimi
nal court in Randolph county.

Circulating hither and thither

who told you so, irrepressible

everywhere his omniscient fore

good-natured thrust of the winn

who went down in the dust of
defeat..
It is the hour of his glory. He
didn't amout to much before the
election, artd soon his importance
will dwindle to its original meas

ALLEN JAY MEMORIAL.
Plan Oil Foot U Perpetuate the Mem
ory of Tbe Great Quaker.
Richmond, Ind., Nov, 18.
Members of the Friends or Qua
ker church in the south, and their
number has of late years in
creased quite rapidly will be
asked to contribute toward the
erection of a church in this city
that is to be a national memorial
to the late Rev. Allen Jay, one of
the most conspicuous Quakers of
the past half century, and whose
Work was more largely among
American yearly meeting than it
was in the immediate territory in
which he lived. Mr. Jay traveled
from New England to Califorina
aiding the meetings and educa
tional insiiutions in raising
money to increase endowments
or lift debts, and in this capacity
he had no equal in the church.
One institution that he aided
greatly was Guilford college,
North Carolina, and another was
Southland college Arkansas. He
also worked to some extent
among the English and Irish
Friends, who may also contribute
to the memorial. The proposed
church, which is to cost $50,000,
and seat 1, 500, will be located on
the campus of Earlham college,
the principal western school of
the Friends, and the two are to
serve as a national center for thi
denomination, this city also be
ing the head of thex Indiana
Yearly meetig, which has the
largest membership of any
yearly meeting in the world.
New Railroad In The Sand Hill.
With Monday, the 21st day of
November. 1910, a new era will
dawn for the fair ground, where
the whistle of the first locomotive
in that section will be heard for
miles across the sand hills, telling
the good Richmond county people
of that section that their long
cherished wish has been realized
that at last a railroad connects
the outside world.
The Aberdeen & Asheboro
branch line from Candor to the
fair ground will he finished this
week and Monday the sixteen
miles of road, tapping the long-
closed timber country will be
opened.
With the first news of a rail
road coming prices boomed ani
farms valnes soared sky-high.
Prospectors came, bought up
lots, some to open stores, others
for speculation and still others to
move to live, all believing in a
new future for the sand hills.
Already a number of new busines
have been opened with others
under way and by the first of
the year a new town will have
