will be a joint celebration of the Cur
ry, Winthrop and Wade Hampton
Literary societies next Monday ev-
ening at $50 o'clock. DR. Harms,
President of Newberry college, will
deliver 1n aGGIress on that occasion.
The annual Y w c A bazaar was
given last Saturday evening in the
gymnasium room. The bazaar was
quite a success and everyone present
spent very enjoyable evening.
The first term of the year is end
ed and a feeling of great relief came
to each of US when the long dreaded
examinations were over.
Already the Christmas spirit has
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 hap
piest days in the whole year at the
sweetest places on earth.
The Press association met here
last week. Three business meetings
were held in Winthrop society hall.
The three receptions given for the
visitors were quite success and were
enjoyed to the fullest extent by all.

MORE ABOUT JERRY MOORE.
His Achievement Gave Soutn
Carolina Nationwide Publicity.

Jerry H Moore of Mars Bluff So,
has become quite lively and valu-
able asset of that State. In 1910 ne
broke the worlds record in corn
growing by boys in raising on one
acre 22S bushels and 3 pecks OF corn.
In the past ten years the average
yield of corn per acre in South Car
olina has been 1879 bushels. The
achievement of Jerry gave South
Carolina a nationwide advertise
ment, and the next year, in spite OF
unreasonable conditions, he led in
one-acre contest by boys and raised
1915 bushels, netting him Sl26,
the festest yield per acre made oy
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 Ma
tional Corn exposition in Columbus,
o, in 1911 was an important factor
in the selection of Columbia. S c, as
the place for the next National Corn
exposition, January q to February
9, 1918, and his presence for five days
at the land show last month in Chi
cago was calculated to increase in
terest in the exposition. The Chi
cago Tribune devoted nearly a col
umn to the possible effects of Jerry's
achievements as viewed by fnanciers
directly interested in the develop
ment of agriculture in this country.
Oren B Taft called him living as
set, and said that the Middle West
needed about 100000 boys like him.
Edmund D Hubert saw in Jerry's
record an incentive to more intens-
i've farming, with all the economic
and social advantages involved.
1t 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
22S bushels to the scre. But it is
quite within the range of possibility
for the South to average one-thlrd
of that production to the acre. In
1910, the year when the South made
its largest crop, l,2S5.6l5 bushels,
the average yield per acre was 22.6
bushels. This year six Southern
States-Kentucky, Maryland, Okla
homa, Tennessee, Texas and West
Virpinia--exceeded their average
acre production of corn of 1910.
MARYLAND led the South, with a pro-

PRAYER FOR RAILROAD MEN.
(By Rev Geo R SteWart).

(By Rev Geo R Stewart.
At an annual meeting of the con-
ductors and engineers some time
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
applauded as he entered the hall
and stepped upon the platform to
offer prayer. The railroad rasn with
their wives and daughters present
reverently bowed their heads, and
George Stewart, with trembling lips
and deep emotion, offered the follow
ing prayer, and as he left the plat
form a dozen men gripped his hand
and brushed tear from their eyes:
20 Lord, we meet as body OF
railroad men, with our wives and
dau ghters, to consult for our inter-
est. We are reminded that life itself
is train, and the road to heaven
the railroad; Gods truth the rail;
Gods love the fire, and His promise
the signal lights. O Lord, we rec
ognize Thee as the General Manager
of our road, the Superintendent OF
our train and our Chief Dispatcher.
Thou didst survey the right of way,
and Thy Son purchased it with His
blood. Thou didst lay the track and
ballast the road; Thou hast furnish
ed the rolling stock and art the
owner and controller of it all.
I'VE look to Thee for all our or
ders, and Thou must sign the check
! for our daily bread. Be merciful IN
handling our human mistakes and
blunders, and do not discharge Thy
unworthy servants.

sion to the legislature when 1t again assemblies in session. While 1t Is not known what the nature of all of these reforms will be- 1t Is practically certain that suggestions will be made looking to a revision of the code with reference to the number of charges and pleadings in civil and criminal cases. In the opin- ion of lawyers this is regarded as the most imperative need and it Is believed that this matter will receive much consideration on the part of the mem bers of the judicial commission.
 The redistricting of the state is an other important matter that the com mission will consider and indications point to the fact that this subject will receive more discussion than probably any other to be taken up at the con- ference. It Is also believed that 1t will be hard for the lawyers to reach a unanimous agreement in reference to redistricting the state, and it is ex- Epected that a pretty lively debate may be engaged in by the members Of the commission on this subject.
