Defeated by a Laugh.

A simple question put in parla-
ment some years ago caused laugh
throughout all England and defeat
ed a great measure. Mr.. Curzon,
then undersecretary for India, was
making a long and elaborate speech
against measure urged by the op-
position regarding that dependency
as certain to result in a loss to the
government of many lacs of rupees.
He repeated with emphasis, Con
sider-not pounds nor guineas, but
lacs of rupees"
A quiet voice on the opposition
benches asked, Exactly how much
is a lac of rupees
Mr.. Curzon opened his mouth,
stammered, grew red and then, with
English candor, said, 81 really don't
know" The house laughed, and in
that laugh he lost his cause.

When Beecher was asked how he

Marlboro Ahead Again.

Considerable interest has been taken
in the prizes offered by the State ag-
ricultural and mechanical society and
by several fertilizer dealers for the
best yield of corn on one acre. The
reports so far received at the office of
the commissioner of agriculture, COM
merce and immigration give the pro-
duction to Mr.. B. E. Moore Of Ben
nettsville. The contest bas not closed
yet, however, and it is not definitely
known who will win the prizes.
Mr.. Moore raised 137 2-3 bushels of
corn on one acre at a cost of $50. IS.
He sold this yield as seed corn at
1925 per bushel, making $4,000, or a
net profit of S22o.24. Mr.. Moore used
on this acre 1000 pounds of high grade
Peruvian guano and 1000 pounds OF
nitrate of soda. The cost of all the
fertilizer was only S64.75.
This is a good showing for South
Carolina and for Marlboro county,
which is frequently spoken of as the
best farming county in the State
