While a bakery at Clovis was burning a cowboy's nerve and accu racy in throwing a lasso prevented tho destruction of surrounding build ings, and probably saved the lives of a number of people. Ho rode his broncho up to within 40 feet of the blazing building, lassoed a barrel of gasoline, and dragged it from the flames. Tho cowboy, Charles Merritt, had just come in from the range. Seated on his pony, he was watching the blaze, when some one shouted that there was a barrel of gasoline in tho building that was likely to explode at any time. The front of the build ing had been destroyed, and the bar rel, containing tho gasolino was inj plain view. Suddenly Merritt jabbed the spur? into the sides of bis mount, released the rope from his saddle, and threw it around tho barrel whoa hts pony approached within throwing distance. A shout arose from the spectators as Merritt dashed away from the build ing, dragging the barrel at the end of his lasso. Died of Acute Pellagra. Anderson, Dec. 6.-R.

Boys' Com Clubs Added Nearly 500,000 to Georgia's Crop. (Atlanta Journal, Dec. 7.) That th<* Boys' Corn Club work In Georgia was mainly instrumental in Increasing tho State's average corn yield nearly two bushels per acre during last,.season, thereby adding over $7,000,000 to tho wealth col lected from the whole crop, ls a startling statement which has behind it tho authority of Bradford Knapp, chick' of farm demonstration work of Hie United States Department of Ag riculture, and of J. Phil Campbell, supervisor of the Boys' Corn Club work in Georgia-both of whom are prominent figures attending Wie Southern Corn Show. Dr. Knapp astonished his audience in tho auditorium with lt Tuesday. It was ono of the many very Interest ing details of his comprehensivo and impressive address. He did n<A go into details, declaring simply that the yield per .acre of Georgia's corn lands Was increased from 14% to nearly 16^6 bushels during last sea son over tho season of 1910, and that the State Department of Agriculture's estimate of tho 1911 crop shows an increase of almost 8,000 bushels over the 1910 crop. In 1910 65,711,000 bushels of corn were harvested in Georgia. In 1911 the crop is, according to the depart ment's estimate, 73,232,000 bushels. The increase is 7,r>00,000 bushels in round numbers. A bushel of corn is regarded as worth on an average of $1 In the crib. Tho increase in Georgia's reve nue from corn is therefore approxi mately $7,500,000. Dr. Knapp and Prof. Campbell are not the only authorities who assign the credit for this increase to the Boys' Corn Clubs. The Increase of nearly two bushels in the average yield per acre through out, the State would he difficult to ascribe to a more logical cause. The Increase In Georgia corn acre age in 1911 over 1910 was hardly 1 per cent-almost negligible. The acres that the members of tho Boys' Clubs planted would easily account for it. Yet, with all her increase in yield. Georgia ls still at the bottom. Geor gia's 1911 average was about 16V6 bushels to tho acre. Mississippi made 19, Arkansas over 20, and so did Texas; Virginia made 24 bushels to the acre, and Tennessee topped" the list with 25.9 bushels average for each acre planted. Dut the work of the Boys' Corn Club movement has begun to tell, and those who aro behind the big cam paign feel that they have ample ground for satisfaction. Tho yield will Increase next year, and next, they say, until Georgia occupies her rightful place among the corn-grow ing States. It was t'io only State that increased its yield in 1911 over 1910, and excepting South Carolina, it has the greatest, yield of any State over and above its ten-year average. In the corn club work six boys made an average among them of 121.9 bushels to tho acre, at a cost of 23% cents per bushel, making their net profit $93.15 on every acre. Ten other boys made 105 bushels to each acre, averaging a clear profit of $03.2 I per acre. JERRY .MOOHE STILL AT TOP Tile North Carolina Lad Produced Only 105 Bushels on An Acre. Columbia, Dec. 7.-Jorry Moore, of Winona, Florence county, remains the undisputed champion corn grower of the world. Last year he produced 228% bushels of corn on one acre of land, and his record has not been equalled this year. Several days ngo a report was re ceived from North Carolina to the effect that a hoy In that State had produced 231 bushels of corn on one acre. The yield of tho North Caro lina hoy was examined by O. E. Mar tin, of Washington, head of the hoys' corn club work; I. O. Scliaub, head of tho corn club work in North Caro lina, and E. M. Clark, of the indus trial department of the Atlantic. Coast Line railway. It was found flint ho had produced only 195 bush els on tho aero, which, of course, will eliminate him from the class of Jerry Moore. Tho champion corn grower in South Carolina for this year's crop ls Claude McDonald, of Hamer, in Dillon county. According to a report filed with C. E. Haddon, In charge of tho corn club work in this Stato, bc has produced 210 4-7 bushels of corn on one acre of land. Jerry Mooro this year produced 178 bushels on his aero at a cost of 18 cents per bushel. Suit Against James McNamara. Los Angeles, Dec. 6.-'James D.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. ?J. ? ?- * .I* (By Walhalla Baptist S. S.) ?J. ?I? ?j? ?j? ?|? .j. ?j? ?j? ?j? ?2? ??. ??? ?T. Mrs. Bertha Burns, of West Un ion, S. C., was a daughter of Jacob Schroder, and the wifo of our be loved brother, C. R. D. Burns, the indulgent mother of Mrs. Bertie Wickliffe and John Burns, a friend and helper to all ber neighbors and acquaintances, and withal a true, loving, Christian woman. In loving kindness, dispensing her deeds of benevolence and acts of love, she was faithful, kind and true; her love was without dissimulation. All who knew her loved her for her many noble traits of Christian char acter. She loved ber friends and ac quaintances and was beloved of them. Mrs. Burns was a useful member of Ibo Walhalla Baptist church, a persistent worker in tho Ladies' Aid Society thereof, a faithful member of this Sunday school, where, by her sweet smiles, sho encouraged the lit tle children to como to Jesus. . She shod sunshine wherever she went, and all took notice that she had been with Jesus and learned of Him. In all ber walk and conversation she showed herself a consistent Chris tian woman. She loved Jesus, and as a result of that love her heart went out to His children hero. In all her walk and conversation wo are sure she met the approbation of her blessed Master. Nevertheless, though we loved her so and desired to keep her here, God in his love and all-wise providence, decreed otherwise, and called her home to be with Him in glory, and left us here to mourn ber departure and our loss. Therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Sister Bums her husband and chil dren have lost their best earthly friend, the Ladies' Aid Society of the Baptist church a persistent and loving worker for Christ, the church a consistent and consecrated mem ber, and the Sunday school a kind and loving sister. Resolved further, That these reso lutions be spread upon the minutes of this Sunday school, and that they be published in The Keowee Courier and a copy thereof bo furnished to her devoted husband and loving chil dren with our sincere prayers that the God of all sympathy and love may be a companion to our grief stricken brother, her husband, and a mother to her loving children.
