II affords us pleasure to publish
this week a letter from Ernest NJ
Joye, of Hemingway, telling simply
and modestly the story of his Won
derful achievement in corn growing
the past two years. From a single
acre of Williamsburg soil this re-
markable lad gathered in two sue
eessive years three hundred and six
ty-five bushels of corn. Well may
President Phinizy, of the Georgia
Railroad Bank, say it couldn't be
DONE" But this boy, Ernest, went
ahead and did it. We are glad to
learn that Ernest is goingt to college,
although he will be missed from
the ring", which he says he leaves
to other ambitious boys. His exam
pie is we'll worthy of emulation. We
hope it may be an inspiration to
many other bright boys. The value
of the special advertisement he has
given his county and State within
the past two years would be hard to
estimate. Wewish our young friend
mighty well and we shall watch
with interest his future career.

FUSION WINS IN NEW YORK.
Democratic Victories I'm New
Jersey and Massachusetts,.

New York, November 4:-Election
returns at late hour tonight show
ed a complete triumph for the DEM
ocrats in Massachusetts, where
Governor and State ticket were
elected in a four-cornered fight; the
election of a Democratic Governor
and State ticket in Virginia without
contest, the ascendency of fusion
over Tammany in New York city,
with indications of Republican vic
tory for the New York Assembly
and judicial ticket, and close fight
for the State ticket in New Jersey,
where President Wilson and Admin
istration forces fought to elect Jas
] Fielder to the Governorship. In
Maryland Democratic Senator was
chosen.
In Massachusetts, David | Walsh.
Democrat, present Lieutenant Gov
srnor, was elected by a plurality of
about $4,000 over Augustus P Gard
ner Republican; Charles R Bird, Pro-
gressive, and Governor Eugene E
Foss, Independent.
Henry C Stuart was chosen Gov
ernor of Virginia, together with an
entire State ticket. Republicans and
Progressives had declined to name
candidates because of inability to
agree on a united ticket.
Returns from New Jersey were
delayed, though Democratic leaders
claimed safe plurality for James j
Fielder for Governor over Edward G
Stokes, Republican, and Everett Col
by, Progressive. In the early returns
Stokes and Fielder were running
neck and neck. The Democrats
claimed Hudson county for Fielder
by 25,O00, while Republican leaders
asserted supremacy for Stokes. Fiel-
der,who succeeded President Wilson
as Governor of New Jersey, had the
support of the National Administra-
ton, several members of the Cabi-
net taking the stump in his behalf.

President Wilson and his policies
were made the dominant issue.
In New York city the triumph OF
the fusion ticket was assured and
late returns from the State indicated
a Republican majority in the Gener.
al Assembly and the selection of a
Republican Chief Justice Of the
court of appeals, and the supreme
court Justices.
For United States Senator Mary
land chose Blair Lee, Democrat.
Democrats triumphed also in the
goth New York Congressional dis
trict, where Jacob H Cantor was
elected; the 18th New York, Geo W
Loft succeeding the late Tim" Sui
livan and the 3rd Maryland district,
Charles r Coady being the choice.
Returns from the 3rd Massachu-
setts district had not been received
at a late hour, but Democratic lead
ers claimed victory.
