MORE ABOUT JERRY MOORE.

HIS ACUCVCmcui U?*v ?
Carolina Nation-wide Publicity.
Jerry H Moore of Mars BlufffS C,
has become quite a lively and valuable
asset of that State. In 1910 he
broke the world's record in corn
growing by boys in raising on one
acre 228 bushels and 3 pecks of corn.
In the past ten years the average
yield of corn per acre in South Carolina
has been 13.9 bushels. The
achievement of Jerry gave South
Carolina a nation-wide advertisement
and thp noxt vear. in spite of
unseasonable conditions, he led in a
one-acre contest by boys and raised
164^6 bushels, netting him $126,
* th? latest yield per acre made by
? any of the twelve men and boys of
the State who entered the contest.
The presence of Jerry, with his
record of such results, at the National
Corn exposition in Columbus,
0, in 1911 was an important factor
in the selection of Columbia. S C, as
the place for the next National Corn
fc^^g?position, January 27 to February
9,1913,and his presence for five days
at the land show last month in Chicago
was calculated to increase in
- ? Tkn rv,;.

Tribune devoted nearly a column
to the possible effects of Jerry's
achievements as viewed by financiers
directly interested in the development
of agriculture in this country.
Oren B Taft called him a living asset,
and said that the Middle West
needed about 100,000 boys like him.
Edmund D Hulbert saw in Jerry's
record an incentive to more intensive
farming, with all the economic
and social advantages involved.
It is hardly possible for all the
corn lands in the South or in any
other section to produce in any one
season anything like an average of
228 bushels to the acre. But it is
quite within the range of possibility
for the South to average one-third
of that production to the acre. Ir

duction of 36.5 bushels to the acre.
But in that State a record of seventy-five
bushels to the acre was made
near Baltimore through the application
of science to farming. That
was more than twice the average for
Maryland and more than three times
the average for the whole South. If
the average for the whole South had
been merely two-thirds the Maryland
record mentioned, the crop of
j the South would have been 2,550000,000
bushels?more than twice
the actual Southern crop and within
619,000,000 of the actual crop of
11912 in the whole country.?Manui

at 8:30 o'clock. Dr Harms,
President of Newberry college, will
deliver Su address on that occasion.
The annual Y W C A bazaar was I
given last Saturday evening in the

quite a success and everyone present
spent a very enjoyable evening.
1 The first term of the year is ended
and a feeling of great relief came
to each of us when the long dreaded
examinations were over.
:j Already the Christmas spirit has
1 taken possession of us and we are
planning how each precious minute
of the holidays shall be spent. Next
Saturday morning we shall leave
Winthrop to spend ten of the happiest
days in the whole year at the

The Press association met here
last week. Three business meetings
were held in Winthrop society hall.
The three receptions given for the

enjoyed to the fullest extent by all.

RAILROAD MAN'S PRAYER.
Remarkable Invocation Ottered
by Rev. Geo. R. Stewart.
To the Editor of The State:
While spending: a few hours in the
city of Newberry last Monday it was
our pleasure to meet that good man,
'Rev "Pete" Boyd. Before leaving
' him he gave us a copy of a prayer
| we would be glad to have you re
. produce in your paper. We now
have four boys on the Southern railway
and for their benefit, for the
benefit of all railroad men from
president to flagman, and for the
| benefit of the readers of The State
we would be glad to have it appear
in an early copy of your newspaper.

j prayer for railroad men.
(By Rev Geo R Stewart).
I
j At an annual meeting of the con
| ductors and engineers some time
j ago, Rev George R Stewart, one of
the favorites of the railroad men of
: the South, was asked to take part
and open the meeting with prayer,
says an exchange. He was loudly
1 applauded as he entered the hall
land stepped updh the platform to
offer prayer. The railroad men with
their wives and daughters present
reverently bowed their heads, and
George Stewart, with trembling lips
and deep emotion,offered the following
prayer, and as he left the platform
a dozen men gripped his hand
and brushed a tear from their eyes:
"0 Lord, we meet as a body of
- - ?
railroad men, with our wives ara
daughters, to consult for our interest.
We are reminded that life itself
is a train, and the road to heaven
the railroad; God's truth the rail;
God's love the fire, and His promise
the signal lights. 0 Lord, we recognize
Thee as the General Manager
of our road, the Suprintendent of
our train and our Chief Dispatcher.
Thou didst survey the right of way,
| and Thy Sen purchased it with His
j blood. Thou didst lay the track and
ballast the road; Thou hast furnishj
ed the rolling stock and art the
; owner and controller of it all.
i "We look to Thee for all our orders,
and Thou must sign the check
for our daily bread. Be merciful in
, handling our human mistakes and
j blunders, and do not discharge Thy
| unworthy servants.

with us on every high bridge of responsibility;

"Grant us passes for our wives
and daughters,and let them go with \
us. When the storms of temptation
and trial come, save us from the fatal
slide and washout that have
wrecked so many trains on the road
of life.
"Let our way, kept secure by Thy
guardian care, always show the steel
rail and rock ballast,and be solid and
firm, and free from obstruction. Deliver
us from the snares of our enemy.
"May the headlight of Thy truth
shine bright on a thrown switch,

ed for the wreckage of our train.
"May our emergency brake of a
strong will save us.
"As we make our last run, head'
ed homeward if it be Thy will, order ^
our train on time. Let the light of
Thy promises burn bright to the last
dark tunnel of death, and as we run
through it to the grand Central sta;
tion of the skies, may we have the
approving smile of the General Man
ager and Superintendent; sign with
' joy the roll, receive our wages, and
have an eternal lay-off with God and
the angels and our loved ones at
1 home, and we will praise Thee forever.
Amen."
