A number of our read-j ers spoke to us about it but we are sure they failed to mention it to the council as we haven't noticed any i marked improvement along this line. We understand the Mayor and council have a street program mapped out whereby they mean to continue the good work done on Market and Church streets until they have built up every street in town. Those of us who have ridden on these "made over' c streets recently realize the good that' c is being accomplished by this work. T But is it fair that the people who have ? to use the sidewalks should walk in water and mud in bad weather and p over rough places until the streets s are put in "apple pie" order. p In a few days hundreds of children t will trudge to and from school in all t kinds of weather and anyone who i has watched them will testify that 1 they walk on the sidewaJks regardless i of pools of water or running streams 1 nlr?A/\ef AI'nriF oJ^aiVOlL* H lUttL 1UI 111 UII ailllUOl C ?

If this movement I could be made nation wide there is d no doubt but that it's influence would s be felt. Some steps should certainly t be taken by the women of our land > to check extreme styles, objectionable dancing, unchaperoned parties and 1 careless talking.

Store , i Circular To Farmers And Ginners. j Every buyer of Carolina staple coton in this section has noticed that , in unusually large percentage of the ( ast crop has been rough or gin-cut. n order to discover the proportion of , his rough cotton and find the source ( >f it we began, about three months , .go, taking the names of the gin? and , ecording the gin names opposite the < ecord of the class and condition of | ach hale. . We have thus far listed 2223 bales'' rom 75 different gins, and our class. , rs have called 1753 bales smooth, . 30 bales slightly rough, and 140 bales j ough or gin.cut. In other words, out 5 >f each 100 bales which we have han- ( lied recently 79 bales were smooth, 15 { tales slightly rough, and 6 bales { ough or gin-cut. The percentage of ] mooth cotton coming from gins from , vhich were listed 25 bales or more ; i* uns from 54 per cent to 100 per cent, j )nly one gin made a record of 100 per ent, the majority running between 75 j ,nd 90 per cent. ( No ginner, no matter how well ad- | usted his machinery or how careful -| le iis in operating his gins, can make , i smooth sample out of wet or damp :otton, and a percentage of the rough { >ales undoubtedly came from this j :ause. The tremendous, variation in j he percentage of smooth bales from , lifferent gins, however, shows that j here must be a great difference in ] he efficiency of the work done by dif. ( erent ginners. The value of rough cotton through- , >ut this season has ranged from 1 to j i cents below that of smooth cotton >f the corresponding grade, and we , ihould say that $10.00 per bale was a rery conservative estimate of the ave , age reduction in value of the 21 per , :ent of rough and gin-cut cotton. We have no wish to injure the busi- ( less of any ginner. We feo!, however. , hat il will be useful to all ginnery and ( ill farmers to have their attention . :alled to the tremendous losses caused , >y bad ginning. The ginners should tee to it before the beginning of the . lew season that their machinery is ">roperly adjusted, and they 'should ( lever gin a bale which is too damp to fin smoothly, no matter how anxious he farmer is to have it done. The reputation of the cotton in this , lection has been built up by. careful , ittention to seed, to ginning, and to , narketing, and tjthis reputation has , luffered during the past year on ac. :ount of the low grade of the crop md the roughness of its preparation. , Everyone doing business in this secion is interested directly in the repu- , ation of Carolina staple cotton, for hat is the main source of revenue. In irder that this section may escape the inancial disaster threatened by the ihort crop, it will be necessary for al nterests to cooperate to make every >ale bring the highest possible price, such a price can only be realized for smooth, well ginned, high grade c<?ton of uniform staple.

JT MAKING A GOOD LAWN Clemson College, Aug. 25.?Success ar failure in lawn making is based an the preparation of the seed bed, vjhich ."necessarily requires a great aare and good judgment. The physi?al condition of the soil may be greatly improved by growing .some sofil building crop preparatory to seeding. Peas or velvet beans may tie sown during the early summer ind the stubble turned in September The land should be turned and sub. soiled to a depth of 6 to 12 inches, ind harrowed until it is thoroughly pulverized. Uefore turning, a liberal ipplication (6 to 10 tons per acre) af well decomposed stable manure ind 300 pounds of lime should be lpplied. When a perfect seed bed las been made, apply 600 to 800 lounds of S-4-4 commercial fertilizer tnd harrow thoroughly into the first !ew inches of the sQil. The lawn grasses should be care,'ully selected, and only those grasses if mixtures used that are adapted to :hat locality and are capable of making a good sod under existing conditions. A mixture of Kentucky ; blue grass1, permuda and white :dover is especially suitable to the partly shaded lawn, the blue grass predominating in the shaded por. Lions of the lawn and the Bermuda in the sunny spots, while the clover keeps the entire lawn green through, mt the winter. The mixture should be planted luring early October, using 30 to 35 pounds of blue grass, 4 to 5 pounds 1 of clover, and a proportionate amount of Bermuda roots per acre. The seeding of the blue grass and the clover should follow the planting of the Bermuda which should be planted in rows 18 jnches .apart, dropping the roots 12 to 15 inches apart and covering 3 to 5 inches deep with alternating rows. Separate sowings of blue grass and clover 3hould be made, sowing the seed broadcast by hand or by use of a mechanical seeder. The seed should be covered lightly, brushing lightly Dr raking into the soil, and this followed by a light rolling. The annual lawn, which is necessary in some cases preparatory to the making of a permanent lawn, may be made by seeding with Italian rye sown either in fall or spring at the rate of 2 bushels per acre. When properly cared for this will make a beautiful green six to eight weeks from seeding. It is Imperative that this grass be cut when it has reached a height of 3 to 4 inches; otherwise the lawn will be unattractive. .Methodist I'listor Accepts I'ost With Interdenominational S. S. As'sn.
