M. JOYE ANDS. G. MOORE THE LEADERS. The following is an account of the boys' corn contest and show , which took place in Kingstree last Saturday. Of 53 boys, only 24 reported the result of the year'3 effort, j At th^ meeting of the boys last fall, and at their meeting last spring.and j also through the columns of The Record, it was made clear that the size of the yield would not be the only item considered in awarding, prises. The plan adopted by the' ia DT*jonstration bureau of the Depayment of Agriculture was fol-1 lowed by the committee. This plan i allowed: For yield,30%; profit on investment, 30%; history of the crop, 20,4^:xhibit> 20%. It will be easy to see, therefore, that the boy who makes the largest yield does not ne<v -jarily get first place in the genefal result.

All will be glad to learn of the large yields of Earnest Joye and Sam Moore. Some will, as usual, be inclined to doubt it. Young Joye, who made over 207 bushels on one acre, has complied in every respect with the requirements for evidence, and we have as much retson to believe that he made this corn as that any other boy or man has made the very large yields claimed in re * s\ yr cent years. me evidence is u iv. Mr L L Baker, district agent of the Farm Demonstration work, was judge in the corn exhibit. Messrs T 0 Epps and J W Swittenberg served as judges in the general contest. In behalf of the boys and in my own 1 heartily thank the merchants of Kingstree, as well as Messrs T W Boyle and R H Kellahan and the Banks of Kingstree, Williamsburg and Wee Nee, for their liberal contributions towards our prize fund.

SPANISH PREMIER MURDERED i By Manuel Pardenas, Anarchist, Who Attempts Suicide Madrid, Spain, November 12:? Jose Cr.nalejas y Mendes, the prime minister, whom Spain haa regarded as one of her greatest statesmen, ! was shot and killed today by a young anarchist named Manuel Pardenas. The assassin attempted suicide and | it was first thought that he was dead, but when he had been carried to the hospital he was found to be living. No event since the throwing of the bomb at the carriage of King Alfonso, on May 31, 1906, while the i King was returning from the church 'after his marriage, has caused such ' general consternation and such pub! lie sympathy. So far as can be learned at present, the assassination seems to be in no way part of a widespread political plot or revolutionary movement, but an isolated crime for which the exact motives remain obscure. The assassin, who was of Spanish birth, came recently from Buenos Ayres, by way of Paris. Practically nothing is known about him. i v. ' . ... md Happy d we are sure that if vou is line.
