Backed by a volunteer army of the I housewives of New York, the city ad| ministration has begun a raid on short weights and measures of foodstuffs, that | promises finally to sweep from every-day trade the last of the dealers who employ them. Through a force of men inspectors have for months struggled to show sporadic instances of the fraud that pinches the ! home table, no general clean-up of these j prevalent practices. had been projected, ] until the women took things into their own hands Within a week thousands of I nf nn.nnoi'utinn liftvo bften made to I the commissioner of the bureau of weights and measures of New York by housekeepers in every corner of that city, and the department is now counting on the active aid of one woman in every ten who toes her own marketing. With this femidine force at work to detect fraud, the new York authorities believe the rooting out of every short scale and measure in the metropolis will be only the work of a few weeks. And, what the New York authorities are doing might well be taken by other communities as an example that there is a wider practice of the use of short weights and measures in New York that in some of our Southern cities, there can be no dou bt; but there is just as much reason why all proper precautions should be taken in one place as another to insure the buying public against mistakes in weights, or even possible fraud here and there. mm tKLL This 50c Jar of Palmolive Cream SLIERE'S a way to get a jap of Palmolive Cream?which we ordinarily sell lor 50c?abLook for a "Palmolive Advertisement" about Palmolive Soap and Palmolive Cream in the Nov.

Abbeville has done many good things within the years of the recent past, but one thing up to this time the city has neglected to do, and that neglect is to bo found in failure to properly light the public square. We have a beautiful pub" lie square of which our people have just reason to be proud, but where Is the pleasure of having a beautiful public square, if it is to be clothed in a pavilion of darkness? Why should citizens adorn and beautify the grounds around their horaeB? Why should the city build Imposing monuments surrounded by plats of living green? Why should the people build magnificent temples? Why should slegant public structures?the court house and the city hall?have less light than is displayed in the attractive store fronts of 3ur city? If our business houses think the expenditure for lights is a good one, and an investment that draws trade, why 3'nould not the city fa thers take tho samo clew as to the advantage of lights? The 2ity owns the city hall. Law offices are rented there. The opera house?the greatest attraction of the city?is an 1m l>ui tuiib uiecMiiK piuce wiLiim wuuac wanb arreat multitudes of our people frequently issomble. The opera hall is rented for i price. The lessee of course expects to Bake a profit for the risk of his money 10 less than he expects to be paid for his abor an i trouble of keeping open a place 'or the entertainment of those who may :hoose to attend the plays. It is true the lessee pays but a nominal ent for the ill-lighted property. The business which a poorly lighted house jrlngs may warrant no higher rent. But, whether bettor lighted grounds around ;he opera house should add profit to the ity or whether the cost of the needed ights is a clear loss or a source of profit, ;he pride and the good conduct of the sity would require the lights. The norals and the high tone of our people iemand better lights. The opera house, o be attractive, should be a place of light ,nd brightness?not a dark and gloomy >lace. Shall we not look to the town council to nolro naaHasl QTnflnHifnro fnr HrrKfa9 iiaaxu bUU UV^UVU CA^ViiUiUUlO 1U1 IJ^UbOl [n case the town council should persist In laving the grounds so poorly lighted hat In passing men and women can carcely recognize, each other the Civic jeague, it seems to us, might take up the natter of lights, even as they have labored 0 beautify and to adorn the city. Where 1 the good of planting grass and growing lowers, If we cannot see them? But lowers and grass are as nothing when orapared to the loveliness of- our >eautiful women and the valor of >ur splendid young men? It Is iatural and It is right that the young people should meet together, and it is minently proper that they enjoy the heatre together. Such association eleates and makes life worth living. But ome mothers are a little careful of their laughters, and in that motherly cdre they f nay object to their daughters, even with he best of escorts, assembling with all wrts of people in one of the poorest lighted >arts of the city. And it is presumed that 10 one will contend that the opera house rrounds are properly lighted. If, thereOre, any good mother'should very proper- ? y object to her daughter assembling rlth a multitude in the darkness, then he opera is injured to that extent. Initeadof being possibly the darkest spot >f ground on the public square, it should >e a scene of brilliant light and beauty.

On the same light the Southern road ran an extra rain, bringing the prettiest women and he most gallant men from Ware Shoal and >ther places along the road. This writer, .peaking for himself, was hearttily aslamed of the darkness that enshrouded ;he opera house grounds. And beside the allroad people, great numbers of the >rettlest girls came from parts of Abbeville County to bejushered Into a great :loud of darkness, amid a living mass of novlng and pushing humanity. So to (peak, it seemed that every escort of a >retty girl realized a feeling of embarrassment when he brought his heart's dol squarely up to a great pile of darkless. The cloud of darkness on that night, vhen a great company of honored guests ivere expected, was just as dense, just as )lack and just as blinding as it is on orlinary occasions when no body was ex >ected to como. When the sun went out ,hat night, the stars closed their eyes in ileep, while the moon may be said to have >hed only a pale light on the scene. Unless the town furnishes reasonable ights when we expect pretty women to iome to see us, we need not be surprised f they seldom come. Light is about the iheapest and the most desirable thing on ;his earth. If we can do nothing more, it teems that we might borrow a tallow :andle and a match or two to dispel the floom and the darkness on state occasions, vhen distinguished company Is present. Che light of a pretty gir'ls bewitching eyes nay light the soul of her lover, but as a neans of lighting dark sections of the :lty bright eyes are not especially recomnended. But, whether prudent and cautious moth, srs keep their daughters from dimly lighted >laces of a general assembly, it is hoped " hat the city, or the Civic League, may ihow a proper regard for visitors* >Ve should give them that light y vhich would savo them from the em- I1 mrrassment of being ushered into dark & jlaces of the city. p .

Clemson Extension Work-Article XXVWHEAT, THE GREATEST BREAD CROP. To obtain bread has ever been the struggle of mankind. The want of it has caused wars and the change of dynasties. Through the ages, the ever constant cry Knnn rt\\r+rx nar KrQflH TnHftV wit.h flJl of our complex civilization that demand is as potent as ever and to obtain it economically will be the greatest problem for future generations to solve. Wheat is, as it has been since history began, the main cereal from which bread is made. It is the most valuable crop of the world. No other crop is adapted to suph a wide diversity of soil and climate. It is grown within the Arctic Circle and over" the Equator. Each year the world consumes more than 3,000,000,000 bushels of. this cereal. The south should produce its own bread and it will when its farmers fully realize the advantage and full value of diversified farming'. Diversified farming is the only key that will unlock the chest of gold that lies hidden in every acre of our land. To diversify properly, we must grow all crops in systematic rotation. The best system of erop rotation for the south is one that contains a winter cover crop. This cover crop can be either a winter legume, such as bur clover, crimson clover or votch, or a cereal, such as wheat, oats, barley or rye. If the soil is impoverished ana in great need of improvement, one of the legumes with rye should be sown to be turned under in the spring. If, however, the land is highly improved and was well fertilized the previous spring and summer, either oats or wheat should be planted. Wheat is not a profitable crop except when growu on rich land. The phenomenally high yields of com that nave been 1 r? va^Aite oortHnnc nf this QfjLf.A UUULOU 111 tauuug O^vviwiiw v* W??4V/ vwxvvv during the past few years are convincing. We know tnat we have a great corn country, and this year South Carolina will pobably produce as much as 50,000,000 bushels of corn. -Where these large yields of corn were obtained, the lancf will be sufficiently improved for wheat. There are thousands of acres of land in this state that were planted in corn this season and highly fertilized that should be sown down in wheat this fall. Now is the time to sow; it is not too late. Wheat can be planted as late as the middle of December. The type of soil best suited to wheat is the clay loam. Before planting the land should be thoroughly prepared by plowing as deep as posssible and thoroughly harrowing. Clemson College Experiment Station has tested a number of varieties r>f wheat and the varieties that have given the best results are the Red May and the Blue Straw. Seed of these varieties can be obtained at any of the leading seed I RACKET >r the Bed Front. :1.38, *1.69, *1.98 and op ?' 'ants 25c, 35c, 48c, 76c and up.

After the seed have been dipped for | a few minutes, they should be spread oat i to dry before sowing. Pour to six pecks of seed per acre should be sown. Wheat, like barley, should make a good i growth early in the fall and unless the Hessian fly is prevalent in the neighbor- j hood, It should be sown any time after the first of October. Wheat can, however, be sown later than other of the cereals. The seed can be sown either ' broadcast or har- -i; rowed in or planted with a grain drill.

At the time the latter application is made, nitrate of soda at the rater of 100 lbs* per acre should be ' applied.
