C Jerry H. Moore, of Winona, in Florence county, is the champion ^ corn grower of South Carolina and r the world. He is 15 years of age and has pro- ^ duced ?28 bushels and three pecks of ( corn on one acre of land. " ( This is next to the highest yield of " corn ever produced and is only ex- . ceeded by the Drake yield of 255 j bushels. c Jerry Moore is the son of a minister, and the great yield was secured , on the parsonage land. ( This announcement/was made last j week by Ira W. Williams, State agent ( of the United States farm demonstra- , 3 . , ? 11UU TV Vi A. ^ Young Moore is a member of the Florence County Boys' Corn club. He will win a number of prizes in the county and State contests and at the South Atlantic States Corn exposi tion, which is to be held in Columbia from December 5 to 8. Several days ago it was reported that a boy in Marlboro county had produced 258 bushels. This record was investigated by Ira W. Williams, and he found that there was a mistake in measuring the corn. The boy only produced 179 bushels, which is far below the record of Jerry Moore. The following announcement was made by Ira W. Williams: "After carefully investigating and having the corn measured of the reported 258 bushels per acre, I find ' that the world's record has not been , broken, that the boy will be second so far as the reports now stand in the yield from the Boys' Corn clubs in the State. I will say, however, that . there was no intention on the part of the boys or the committee or the peo- ' pie of Marlboro county to give out ( any statement that was not absolute- ' ly accurate, as all of them were ( anxious that the facts be known. The ' mistake occurred in the method of ! measuring the corn. We do not accept any measurements in regard to ( the greatest yield in the State except J the absolute weight of the corn. 1 ! think, however, that this production 1 is the most remarkable in the history of the State's corn production. It is 1 certainly more remarkable than the 1 Drake yield, if the reports as to how 1 the Drake yield was made are true; 1 for, in cost of production, it is by far ' the least for the large yields pro: duced, and the methods arc such that ' \ any man could follow and expect the most profitable results, j "There were several boys from this neighborhood in the contest. This boy is an orphan boy, his father having died when he was small. He has two brothers about his age and size. He did not use but 2,400 pounds of commercial fertilizer and two ioaas of stable manure. "The spirit of this boy in regard 1 to accurate measurement was the best I have ever seen." 1 Thanksgiving Services. < The Bethany church will have j special services on Novemebr 24th at ^ Oak Grove school house, beginning at 11 o'clock.

The difference between the first md second counts to the ordinary nind is hard to distinguish, the difference being something like this: The first count charges conspiracy to eceive and accept rebates for individual use by board of directors of ;he State dispensary contrary to the statutes. The second count is of nore general meaning, meaning 'any means" of cheating or defraudng the State, not merely the acceptmce of rebates. Black was convicted on the second couAt and the penilty is left to the discretion of the :ourt. Black's counsel immediately, on ;he announcement of the verdict, ?ave notice of a motion for a new :rial and this will be heard when :-ourt convenes to-morrow morning, in the meantime Black is out on )ond and is spending the night at the lotei. The attorney general, Mr. Lyon, is -eceiving the congratulations of friends on the outcome. When seen ;o-night and asked for a statement he said that he had nothing to give out aow. There is much speculation on :he next step in the case. People on ;he streets and especially in the lobi>y of the hotel are discussing the probable result.

A few weeks ago the Rev. J. R. Sturgis, pastor of Bedford Springs Circuit, after having received money on account of salary and benevolent collections to the amount of $200, put the same into a hand satchel and placed the satchel under the seat of a buggy, thinking in the lark?for it was night?that it was bis own. He then engaged in conver- , sation for a while, and finding his buggy drove off in it. When, however, he went to get out the satchel with dismay he found that he had placed it under the seat of another man's buggy. He was laturally much disturbed and placed a "want ad." in the Lynchburg News# requesting that the party whose buggy he had mistaken for his own to return the satchel. For some days not a word was neara 01 tne missing property, an! one can but sympathize with the minister who thought he had iost $200 in cash. Meanwhile the owner of the buggy, never ghessing what he had in it. He lent the buggy to a friend ' and that friend drove it some distance and returned it to him, the satchel still under the seat. Finding it there Mr. T , the owner of i the buggy, supposing it to be an old and worthless thing, threw it down somewhere about the stable and forgot. At his home, one day, some one remarked, "That was a hard thing on Mr. Sturgis." He asked what thing. "Why," said they, "He lost his satchel by putting it in another man's buggy, and it had all his money in it." "Hold on," said he, "there is one at my stable and it may be the one he lost." He made good speed to the stable and there, with the $200 in it lay the missing satchel which was very soon returned to the rejoicing minister. Our readers will no doubt sympathize with him.
