They Are All More Modest in

! Why is IL that there Is no such rae

II Interest in yacht racing is dying
out.
The answer to the last question IS
that there are more men actively in
terested in yacht racing today than
ever before, and there are many times
more owners of racing craft Of one
size or another than there were in
the years IRON 1880 TO 1890, when the
large boats were In the lime-light. But
the interest has been transferred in u
large measure from the racing or large
boats 10 that of boats of medium or
small size.
The expense of racing in the larger
classes today is prohibitive, except.
ing TO u very wealthy man. In the
first place, the cost of building large
sloop or schooner is several times as
much rs it was 25 or so years ago
This Is due in part to the higher cost
OF materials and the increase in
wages, but in larger part to the
greater refinement and elaboration OF
construction and fitting
One can 90 today TO some one of
the shipy ards in Maine, get plans and
specifications from builder, use the
same sort of timber In construction
as was used 80 years ago and finished
in the s1me style, and the cost OF A
boat would not be very greatly in eX
cess OF the earlier cost But no one
today would be satisfied with such a
craft
BY the same token it will cost more
10 furnish a home today than it did
so years ago. with probably only the
same number OF pieces TO serve the
same purposes, but the same satisfac
ton would not be procured with the
furniture of 1880.
Besides the first cost, the expense
OF running a larger yacht has in
creased enormously. Thirty years
ago the regular crew of large sloop
or schooner yacht was the smalles;
number of men that could get the boar
under way and handle her under ordi
nary conditions. Even in pleasure
cruising the male guests OF the own.
er were expected to tail on to the

emergency. while in racing from haif
to three-quarters OF the crew were

$500 to $1,000. That makes a spor,

Take an ordinary boat of 20 years
age; say one of only 40-odd feet wa
teriine. Her regular crew under ordi
nary conditions would have been two
men, just enough TO raise the main
sail. She may have carried three, one
a qualified skipper, in order that the
owners family could have the use Of

cially announced November 9,show-
ed the highest yield from an acre to
be 207 1906 bushels, produced by
Ernest Joye; the next highest was
40 bushels, produced by Sam G
Moore.
SO far as we have seen, these are
the highest yields to the acre that
have been recorded for the year 1912
in the State of South Carolina, and
unless we are mistaken Ernest
Joye, of Williamsburg county,
should be awarded the prize as the
champion corn grower for the pres
ent year. Be it remembered that
his yield of 207 bushels on one acre
falls only twenty-one bushels short
of that of jeremiah Moore, of Flor
ence, who now holds the worlds
record for the number of bushels
grown by a boy on one acre OF land.
We may be claiming too much
for Ernest Joye, but until claim
ant appears with better right and
title, we hold that our young friend
is entitled to the State champion
ship for 1912.
We believe, moreover, that Sam
G Moore, whose acre produced 140
bushels, stands second or third in
highest yield in the State for this
year, and the average number OF
bushels grown by the first ten or
twelve contestants, if not the whole
twenty, would equal or exceed the
average attained by any boys corn
club in the State, comprising an
equal number of contestants, for
the present year.
The two young men referred to
should by all means enter their
names in the State contest, not
only for their own sakes, but for
the sake of Williamsburg county,
whose lands are as productive as
are any in South Carolina.

Would Join Williamsburg.

It has recently come to us that the
voters of Midway township are seri-
ously considering the proposition to
vote themselves into Williamsburg
county. We sincerely hope they
will not do this, as Clarendon has
no territory to spare, and because
the people of that section will gain
nothing by the change. One Of the
reasons assigned is that the roads
are better cared for in Williams
burg, and that the distance to the
court house at Kingstree is shorter.
The first reason can be remedied by
seeing to it that Clarendon cOGnty's
officials look after the roads in the
Midway section and improve them;
the second reason as-to distance to
the court house should be consider
ed from the standpoint of whether
it will pay the bond tax in addition
to the taxes levied in Williamsburg,
and, too, there is no telling when
Williamsburg will catch the pro-
gressive idea and build new court
house to keep up with the pace set
by Clarendon and other counties;
should Williamsburg built new
court house there will be a bond is
sue, and our friends will be paying
for both the Clarendon and Will
liamsburg bonds. The best thing to
do is to stand by Clarendon and help
us get the roads like they ought
to be. We do not want to lose the
good people of Midway. Manning
Times.
The arguments set forth affirma-
lively are good enough to induce
our friends in Midway township to
annex themselves to Williamsburg.
On behalf of Kingstree and Will
Tiamsburg county, we offer these
good people a cordial welcome,
feeling that it would be of mutual
interest for them to come within
our borders and assuring them
that their lines could not be cast
in more pleasant places.
As to the negative argument,
that is easily disposed of. The
Clarendon county courthouse bonds
are mere bug a-bOo and the Will
liamsburg courthouse bonds never
had birth save for political pur-
poses. Our grand old temple of
Justice has served the county for
half a century or more and what
With the improvements made in
the past decade, we are well con-
tent with it until our growing
population demands another more
commodious building. Even then,
it will be for the people to de-
eide on by popular vote. So don't
let those fimsy arguments stand
in your way, friends, if you want
to Join with US in building up
