FRIDAY, NOVEMBER a., 1919.

act Of the general assembly for his
achievements as corn grower. Col.
Watson will let Jerry tell the visitors
to the South Carolina exhibit how he
raised 22S bushels Of corn on an acre,
choosing this as a more effective meth
Cd or bringing the facts before the
westerners than any demonstration by
an expert The Southern railway is
cooperating with the department in
the matter Of providing transportation
as far as Cincinnati for the state exhi-
bit. The Parker cotton mills and the
Columbia duck mills both furnished an
attractive display Of their manufac-
tured products. In addition, a section
Of field Of corn which produced 125
bushels to the acre will be shown. The
display Of fruits and vegetables IS
large. The whole South Carolina exhi-
bit will be arranged with a view to at
tracing visitors to the National Corn
exposition In Columbia next January.
The display has been given the best
position In the entire building devoted
to the National Land show and is
bound to attract the attention of every
visitor as It Is Just at the right of the
main entrance. Cordial invitations will
be extended to all the visitors to come
to the National Corn exposition in
Columbia Col. Watson said yesterday
that several Of the Chicago papers had
already written him for pictures of Jer-
ry Moore and information about the
South Carolina exhibit A letter from
the Chicago Tribune said that It ex-
pected Jerry to be bigger drawing
card than Teddy Roosevelt.
From the stories being published in
the Charleston papers 1t appears that
the jackies Of the battleship fleet are a
little more than the Charleston police
are able to handle. The young Jack tar
Of a warship, and most Of the warship
jack tars are young, has plenty Of red
blood In his veins and he is fond Of
having good time. This is especially
true when he is at liberty on shore af-
ter a long stay on his ship. And the
idea Of the average jack tar about
having a good time Is about the same
as that Of any other average young
fellow without responsibility. He
wants something exciting, and when he
goes about In punches he 10 not par
ticular as to the nature Of the excite
ment. This is particularly true after
more or less liquor has been disposed
OF. One Jack tar went Off with q horse
and buggy that had been left standing
In the street and was finally arrested
and committed for the theft. Another
pulled a woman out Of a doorway and
got arrested for that. Others have
made the nights inideous on some Of the
residence streets; shocking the sensi-
bilities Of the good Charleston people
tremendously. When bunch Of.
jackies take In the sidewalks, pedes-
trtans generally get out of their way
The police realized from the beginning
chat they could do little with bunch
Of jackies and they decided to leave the
jackies to have their own way. II was
not until Wednesday when patrols
were sent from the ships, that complete
peace and security were restored. How
ever little concern the jaciies may
have for the civil authorities he does
not care to get into trouble with his
superiors on ship board. They have
ways Of infiicting punishment that he
does not like, and when there Is a pa
troll on shore where he Is enjoying lib
erty he takes care to keep his liberty in
bounds
