(By Henry Beach Needham of
The Saturday Evening Post.)

AS a magazine reporter at
various times my assignments
has been to interview a Presi-
dent, an eX-President, a future
President, and one or two near
Presidents. The difficulties
varied in direct ratio to the
mans need for publicity. |

easier to interview a candidate
for the nomination for chief
executive than it was to pump
anything out of the same man

of his friends, elected-if he re-

No, it wasn't the most widely
advertised parsonage in the
state; it was the one who has
best advertised South Carolina
there's a difference. 1t was a
boy who would be President,
failing that, a congressman. 1t
was Jerry Moore!
My wish to interview the
worlds champion came upon
me at a luncheon, which because
of the careless misuse of adjec-
tives, it is difficult to character
ize; if it were good usage, one
might say, a most unique lunch
eon-but it isn't. There were
speeches at this luncheon-the
same speeches. better delivered
than usual. But the speakers
were merely the side-show.
They were like old folk at a
Christmas tree. The kids and
the kids sisters were the whole
show. The best of it was that
they didn't realize it. But the
old fellows did!
How | came to regard an in
terview with Jerry Moore as the
best assignment in sight is best
told in a conversation | heard
across the table. Somebody of

hacker of Junius in some

was talking boldly, if not boast

about the cost of production
but admitted that his champ

the acre as against 228 bushels.

FARM" SAYS CHAMPION JERRY MOORE

Somehow l was for Jerry Moore

Jerry Moore seemed to be what
the luncheon was about. And

able statistics-and Jerry
Moore, waiting, ready to an

1t is to be hoped that this
young man does not develop bad
habits-the last thing one
would expect of him. There is
a certain game played-not
with cards alone, at which he
would shine, and shining might

and less remunerative vocation
of farming.

Jerry Moore.
THE INTERVIEW.
Can you beat your dad at
corn raising?" | asked.
Il don't know" said Jerry
Moore, smiling inscrutably.
Dad is pretty good at farm
ing"
What are you going to do
when you get through school?"

The shortest interview in my
list-and the most satisfactory.
1t is disappointment that l

with other congressional visi-

This | venture to say was ques-

The Jerrys, the Juniuses and
the Lily Mays were the show
the whole show. Everybody

Columbia, Feb. A petition

President of Late Seminole
Company ParOled.

one time for a longer period
than five days without written

the state, and upon the further
condition that he do not visit

years in the state penitentiary.

months of his term.

was signed by 10 of the jury
and large number of citizens
throughout the state, and there
was certificate from the ply
sician as to the condition of
Garlington's father, who is in
bad health, and this was a con-
siderable factor in causing

STATES WHICH HAVE
 FURNISHED PRESIDENTS

In only one respect can Virginia still be properly called the mother of presidents-only as to the number of years Virginia occupied the execu- tive office. not as to the total number of residents of Virginia elected to the presidency or succeeding to the pres idency.
 Since the beginning of the govern ment, presidents have been taken from only ten states-Virginia, Mas sachusetts, Tennessee, New York, Ohio, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana.
 There have been five from Vir- ginia-Washington. Jefferson, Madi- son, Monroe and Tyler
 There have been five from New York-van Buren, Fillmore, Arthur, Cleveland and Roosevelt.
 There have been three from Tenn essee-Jackson, Polk and Johnson; two from Massachusetts, John Adams and John Quincy Adams; two from Illinois, Lincoln and Grant; one from New Hampshire, Pierce; one from Louisiana, Taylor; one from Pennsyl. vania, Buchanan, one from Indiana, Benjamin Harrison.
 New York is the mother of vice

presidents, having had ten out of the twenty-seven - Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins, Martin Van Buren, Willard Fillmore, William A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur, Levi P. Morton, Theodore Roosevelt and James S. Sherman.
 It is remarkable fact that at the end of President Roosevelt's term. March 4, 1900, New York had had the presidency about nineteen years out of twenty-eight, since the inaugura- tion of President Garfield in 18S1- the period covered by the White House service of Arthur, Cleveland and Roosevelt.
 Still more remarkable is the fact that at the end of President Taft's present term, March 4, 1913, New York and Ohio will have had the presidency thirty.two out of the thirty-six years since the inauguration of Hayes.
 Probably most remarkable of all is the fact that Virginia, New York and Ohio have held the presidency sev- enty-three years of the one hundred and twenty-four since the beginning of the government.

THE SCOTCH CELEBRATION
 PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL

The best time in the history of Douglas island occurred at the Lyric theatre last night when the local Scotchmen gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the Scotch poet, Robert Burns. The house was crowded upstairs and down, and a merry time was had there. Robert Denard scored a hit in singing the first song. Then came the Highland fling, by the two little Misses Livie, and this was as pretty a dance as ever was seen anywhere, both being experts. Duncan Cameron followed with the sword dance, and he also made hit with the audience. Jack Wilson sang a couple of Scotch songs in excellent voice, and after the pro- gram had been completed everybody danced to the strains of the excellent music by the Lyric orchestra until an early hour of the morning.

My own advice would be that you should
find out from the school the titles Of the
books studied by children In the grade to
which she would naturally belong were
she well enough to attend her classes, and
have her work over them by herself, or
with a member of her family If she cannot
have private teacher. In addition to this
let her read good books. Cultivate in her
a taste for good poetry and for history
and you need have no fear that when she Is
able to go out into the world there will be
any occasion for ridicue of her attain
ments. Some of the best educated men and
women ] Nave ever known have been those
whom health or some other circumstance
has debarred from school career, and this
lack has not prevented their acquiring

Use home made bread, made as usual, but
