The Best Ten Ears.

According to the existing popular
conception when the cooperative
demonstration work was inaugurated
in South Carolina, and according to the
rule laid down and encouraged by the
work, the matter Of yield per acre was
generally accepted as the standard of
excellence in corn production, and that
idea is going to hold for some time to
come no doubt; but we are inclined
now to think that eventually X will be
supplanted by the ten ear" or hun
dred ear proposition.
OF course The Enquirer does not pre-
tend to have any extensive or profound
of corn production or Of
the Judging Of corn after it has been
produced; but II does know that there
is a lot to be learned on the subject.
When during a recent session of the
general assembly some member OBJ
jected to an appropriation for the BEN
eft of the South Carolina Corn Grow
ers' association on the ground that the
ultimate object of that association be-
ing merely the development Of fancy
specimens of ears that did not neces-
sarily add to the yield, we were just
a little impressed with the argument.
Being quite utilitarian In our views
along that line, we felt that If 1t was
merely a matter of dressing up the
type of corn we are producing without
adding to the quantity Of production,
the state could hardly afford the lux
ury; but since we have gotten little
more light on the subject, we have
come to the conclusion that probably
we were allowing our judgment to be
influenced without a proper under
standing of the matter.
While it is true, as explained by
Prof. Weeks. the agricultural expert at
Winthrop to develop a pretty nearly
ideal car of corn in a volunteer patch,
such thing is hardly probable. The
size and shape of an ear of corn, the
evenness of the rows, the uniformity
of type, the compactness size, shape
and chemical composition of the grains
have been studied until there has been
gathered a pretty nearly accurate sell
entific knowledge of exactly what an
ear Of corn ought to be- And that the
scientific ideal of what corn ought to
be is pretty nearly perfection, goes
without saying. OF course. it is not to

We note with interest that Governor
Blease has published the Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation in The Yorkville En-
quirer as an advertisement Gaffney
Ledger.
AS we have had occasion to observe
before, the Gaffney Ledger has quite
a way of noting with interest" things
that have not occurred. 1t Is true that
the governors Thanksgiving proclama-
tion appeared in the advertising COL
umns of The Enquirer not long ago;
but the circumstance need not excite
the greed Of the envious. There has
been no authority for the rendering Of
a bill and it is not the rule of The En-
quirer to render bill for service Of
this nature anyway.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

Governor Blease failed to attend
the exercises in Charleston last week
because Of the death Of his sister, Mrs.
Havird.
w. ]. Muldrow, Of Anderson, has
Withdrawn a warrant that he recently
swore out against v. B. and r. L.
Cheshire, charging them with assault
says that the affair Is closed so far as
he Is concerned.
Although the asylum bond issue
proposition received q majority of the
votes cast in the recent election and it
was announced that the bonds would
be issued, It apepars that the announce
ment was a mistake. The joint reso-
luton under which the election was
held provides for a two-thirds majori-
ty. Governor Blease has called the
attention of the Columbia State to the
resolution as follows: The commits
sioners Of election shall provide sep
arate box and furnish a sufficient num-
ber of ballots for the voters, and the
said election shall be conducted In all
respects as now provided for the con-
thirds Of the qualified electors voting
upon said question or issue shall vote.
in favor Of the issue Of such bonds and
creation Of such indebtedness, then the
general assembly, at its next session.
shall provide for the issuing of bonds
not exceeding one million ($1,000,0 ,000l
dollars, payable within forty (40) years
at a rate Of interest not exceeding four
(4) per cent per annum."
AS he was driving home from
Prosperity, In the lower section Of the
county, last Friday night, Magistrate
P. B. Ellesor was held up by two ne
groes at the point Of a pistol and re-
lieved Of $50. The negroes took Mag
istrate E.lesor's buggy and drove down
the road piece and then started the
mule back towards Prosperity with the
empty buggy. They caught freight
train ct Prosperity and went on to Po-
maria. The people at Pomaria had
been notified and were on the lockout,
but the negroes managed to get off the
freight and rode on a switch engine to
Peak, just across Broad river in Lex
ington county. When a posse at
temped to arrest them there, they flr-
ed upon the posse, injuring Mr.. ]. E.
Epting, proprietor Of the Peak hotel,
and Mr.. Gallagher, who is in charge Of
a construction force. The posse re-
turned the fire, seriously injuring one
Of the negroes, but the other escaped.
The injured negro, Richard Sparks,
died Saturday. Sheriff Buford and
Constable Blease went to the scene as
soon as they received notice Of the
robbery Of Magistrate Ellesor and
made diligent search for the other ne
gro, but failed to locate him.
