Gibbons.) t Autumn is here, reminding us a of declining years, as we view the v radical change in foliage from the f Verdure to the red, yellow, maginta ^ and ultimately the proverbial brown ^ of dead vegetable life: The fall garden should start out paramount with the grain field of fall and win- 5 fer in .their verdure. The housekeeper during September will plant her broad cast plat with kale, mustard egg turnips, let- v tuce, radishes and some beets. In r rows she will plant flat dutch, white globe, purple top, rutabaga and yellow aberdeen turnips, Cabbage will t be planted for winter developement. Use thc? sure head, Succession and C All Season, Spinach, Cauliflower, carrots and brussels sprouts, Leeks s and onions are planted during this season. Of those mentioned vegeta- ^ bles, Brusselsprouts, cabbage, cauliflower carrots, turnips and greens, ^ lettuce, radish, mustard and spinach furnish the iron so neccessary for Sl us. We should remember too, along this line to use -tomatoes, apples, figs pears and all the berries as well as v the bananas and oranges for they contain the iron we need. Now in b September we plant English peas, of the early varieties following- with c consecutive plantings of later varieties, viz:-McIntosh, John L. and C1 Bliss which are planted in single rows during October, November and December. It is gratifying tw realize that ^ many of the. club gardens have fresh string beans and a bountiful ? supply of late tomatoes coming in for market and home use now. Spinach, kale and Brusselsprouts which are highly vitalized with vit- n amines should occupy a place invar-! j. iably in the fall garden, winter and t spring garden. ^ d BIG FOUR BALANCE SHEET d FIXES VALUE $164,163,000 Washington, Sept. 28?The value of the railroad system and property of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad was tentatively fixed today by the interstafcq! commehct* commission 'at $164,163,000 as of June 30, 1918.

Columbia, Sept. 30.?Flip-flops, hand-springs, somersaults and calesthenics soon may be added to the curriculum of the South Carolina penitentiary if Governor Harvey's plans are carried out, it becamc known here today. The governor told newspaper men, that he felt that a more varied !recrea|tion program ;should be provided for prisoners at the institution and intimated that he soon would purchase gymnasium apparatus and have it installed in the prison yard. The governor who visited the prison yesterday, takes tfie position tnut- II trie mtzn ait; given atimuiaumg recreation during the hoprk' they are not at work, it will make them better men. I The governor expects to urge up> on the next legislature a change in the present system under which county supervisors can retain convicts wanted for road work. This results in many able bodied men never reaching the prison. The governor , would have all long term men sent to the prison here. He also probably will recommend extension of the prison industries. LAURENS HIGH SCHOOL TEAM Under the tutelage of George H.
