Watson, Commissioner of Com merce, Agriculture and Industries of South Carolina, deserves a vote of appreciation from the people of the State tor the ingenuous way he has advertised tho State. We recently read, in an Eastern publication, about a banquet at Co lumbia during the corn show to Jerry Moore and the members of the boys' corn clubs. This ls excellent adver tising for South Carolina, and is the same kind of publicity as was ob ttained by i he ."Uate during the Chi cago Land Show, when newspapers all over the country printed articles about South Carolina and Jerry Moore. Even our hankel's in Chicago became interested Oren B. Taft, president of the Pearsons-Taft I/pud Credit Company, was one of the finan ciers Impressed with the importance of Jerry. "Here," he said, in an ar ticle in the Chicago Tribune, "is a 4)oy who has done something. He ls a living asset to the State. He can be cashed into corn, and corn is money. The middle West needs about a hun dred thousand mom like him. He is one of the boys of the South who has realized that his future ?les In being a producer. If boys of Chicago would learn to follow Jerry's example, and learn to manage farms that would produce, say an average yield of a hundred bushels per acre, they would be rich nlon." Edmund D. Hulbert, of the Mer chant's Loan and Trust Company, one of our best-known bankers, also talk ed about -ferry Moore. "There Is no question about the value of Jerry Moore to South Carolina," he said. "Intensive farming will bring the farm houses closer together, stimu late social life and create new inter est. Jerry Moore is helping this along." We have received newspaper clip pings about Jerry Moore and South Carolina's exhibit at the land show from every State in the Union. There is deep thought behind this kind of advertising. It dlT;>ots attention to the faot that while in 1900 the value of all farm property In South Caro lina -wa? 1153,591,159, in 1910 lt was $392,128,314-an increase of 155 per cent, and that the reason for this increase is due to better farming in South Carolina. Then, too, Jerry Moore was talked about in our schools. Teachers want ed to meet him, and many of our bus iness men wanted an Introduction to raoif Ali PRESS ITIOIf ClefTO.

In the spiritual contest, how did Jacob know when ho had pre vailed? 15. If we are sufficiently in earnest to take every grave problem or seri ous difficulty to God and wrestle with him until we get the answer, may we be sure of victory? Why? if?. Chap. xxxlii:l-7-Would you say that Esau displayed this affection for Jacob from his own original choice, or had ho been influenced by God and tho presents? Why? 17. Did Jacob even now show that he had absolute confidence In God's answer to his prayer? 18. Is there such a tilling as abso lute confidence at the time of a dan gerous crisis until it is over? 19.

If every man in South Carolina real ized that the exhibit at the last land show was an example of clean and forceful State advertising, there would be another effort, and a hard o*ne, to have as good a delegation and an even better exhibit in the 1913 land show. We believe the kind of advertis ing done by South Carolina in 1912 should be continued by South Caro lina in 1913. There is a big interest in the South right now, and the inter est is getting bigger every day. We are getting more inquiries about land in a few States in the South than we are from about a dozen other States. R. P. Cross, General Manager of the United States Land Show. SON DEPRIVED OE PARENTS. Mother Overcome by Decision of the Court--Married Too Soon. Chicago, April 10.-Divorce action brought by Wm. M. Marshall, the wealthy owner and exhibitor of driv ing and riding thorses, against Mrs. Blanche Marshall, ended to-day when Judge Pettit declared the two had never been married. Mrs. Marshall, who is the mother of a two-year-old son, was overcome at the pronounce ment. "There is a child of this union," Mrs. Marshall's attorney exclaimed. "The fact that it affects the statue of a child cannot alter the law of tho State," replied Judge Pettit. Mrs. Blanche Mullins was divorced from Robt. H. Mullins March 31st, 1907. Six days later she married Marshall. Being married again within less than one year of her di vorce, her marriage is a nullity. Judge Pettit's decision was given after he toad made ? personal Inves tigation. It is the first case involv ing a child In which a recent decision of the Illinois Supreme Court invali dating sireb a marriage has been in voked. Ty Cobb I/oscs.

Washington, April 10.-An effi cient navy, large and powerful enough to maintain the nation's pres tige, ls the Tolley of the new admin istration as outlined to-day to the navy league of the United States tn Its eighth - annual convention by Franklin D. Rosevelt, assistant sec retary of the navy. His statement created enthusiasm. It -was regard ed as directly reflecting the views of Secretary Daniels and the White House. Mr. Rosevelt called on the mem bers of the league to aid in popular izing the naval establishment and declared that as effective work could be done outside the navy as within it. He dwelt on the need for the support of the secretary of the navy and the administration's naval policy. "This 1B not a question of war or peace," he said. "I take lt there are as many advocates of arbitration and international peace in the navy as In any? other profession. But -we are confronted with another condition the fact that our nation has decided in the past to have a fleet and that war is still a possibility." Mr. Rosevelt told of the thousands of men engaged in manning the snips and in attending to the mechanical work of the department ashore. He said the services was being developed with the intention of making it a fac tor for the national good. "We want the country to feel that in the maintaining of a fighting force of the highest efficiency," tie said, ".we are at the same time educating thousands of young men to be better citizens and to be in a position to 'help themselves when they 'leave the service. We want to give them in dustrial education under ideal condi tions. Most of all, we will help cre ate a mercantile marine owned by us and run by us." State Crop Pest Bulletin. Clemson College,t April ll.-At a recent meeting of the South Carolina State Crop Pest Commission the reg ' ulations governing the shipment of cotton seed and seed cotton from boll weevil territory were amended so as to entirely prohibit the ship ment of cotton seed and seed cotton, for any purpose whatever, from boll weevil territory Into the State of South Carolina. Tins regulation is in effect now .and all cotton seed and seed cotton, for whatever purpose, arriving in this State from boll weevil territory is contraband and will be seized apd destroyed by order of the commis sion. Seed Condemned and Burned. Ben net ts ville, April 10.-Some-t time ago J. J. Matheson, C. P. Hodges and D. K. McColl brought into this county a lot of cotton seed in which dead boll weevils were found. It seems this seed was shipped from territory Infected with boll weevils, but that it had been treated, and the purchasers thought that it was free from airy boll weevil, or other pest. Profs. Conradl and Thomas, of Clemson College, after giving the matter due consideration, and after most careful inspection, de cided that the best thing to do with the seed was either to have it ship ped back or destroyed. The seed brought in by Mr. Mc coll, after being condemned, was shipped back to Fort Gibson, Miss. The seed ordered out by Mr. Mathe son caused some little friction, but was finally burned by order of the proper authority. DR. FRI MDMA NN MAY SELL.

Secretary McAdoo Wants Men in Sympalhy Willi Administration. Washington, April 10.-Reorgani zation of the personnel of the cus toms service by the Democratic ad ministration was begun to-day when Secretary McAdoo, of the Treasury Department, took steps to displace all the high customs officials at the port of Philadelphia. In announcing the action the secretary said "it is considered vital in the interest of the public that new blood shall be brought into the service." Mr. McAdoo asked for the resigna tion of Chester Hill, collector; P. M. Little, surveyor; F. P. Vincent, ap praiser, and W. T. Merrick, naval offi cer, all of Philadelphia. He officially announced that the resignations were requested "not because Charges .have been preferred against them, but because it is deemed essential that these places shall be filled by persons who are in sympathy with the purposes and policies of the ad ministration, and also because it is considered vital in the interest of the publlo that new blood shall be brought Into the service." Treasury officials contented them selves with that brief statement, which was the first indication that a sweeping reorganization of the cus toms service was about to begin. Offi cials were reticent as to possible fu ture moves In this direction, but it is known that the secretary foas his eyes on the Boston office, where an alleged customs scandal is being un earthed. Close attention is being given to tho general question of re organization in connection with the radical redistricting of Hie service on July 1st. -HMt DUAL LOVE CRAZED HIM ? Young Alan of Anderson Was Lost to Self in Cluittanooga. Anderson, April 10.-J.
