Those Sidewalks Again. I
* ' r
A few weeks ago we begged the Ci- t
ty. Council for a litlle help on the ^
sidewalks of the town and w,e asked
the citizens of Cheraw who thought'
IS
we needed a little help on the side-l

to the attention of the Mayor and
City Council. 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

during a rain. / lg
It is hardly necessary that we call \
to your attention that most of our 1
sidewalks are trough shaped because a
if you have walked out in wet wea- a
ther you were compelled to walk in c
the grass alongside so you know, but c
we wish you would mention the fact s
to the council. It may help. '?

t
I
We understand in some towns *
Mother's clubs are being organized a
by Mothers of girls under the 'teen v
age to try to begin in time to set a 1
different standard from the present t
day rapid pace. 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. But until it becomes a
a nationwide movement we fear it, T

An elderly man whose opinion is
:onsidered worth something to the',
sommunity was asked the other day .
I
vhat he thought were proper attri-'
utes of "the people next door." i
And he said: "I've been living here'.
* i t
or nearly forty years. Folks on eachi
' c
ide of us have come and gone. The'^
leople I like best for neighbors arej
hose who do these things: They keep ^
he place neat and clean, favor paint,
ng once in a while; hang out a wash- f
ng every Monday morning; Tuesda i
s ironing day. They'll lend their;
awn-mower if you'll bring it back.'.
They'll do the same with a pinch ofi(
alt or an egg or a cup of flour. They'g
vili go out of their way to do a favor. ^
They keep the garbage can covered j
ind keep the chickens in their yard;
I f
ind not in ours.- They are not too.
'urious about who comes and goes at I
?ur house. They, mind their own bu-i^
liness, an excellent trait. What the
;rocer brings in or the laundryiman '
c
:arries out doesn't interest them. They ^
ire not snoopy. If, once in a while
here's a good deal of noise at our *"
louse, they don't telephone that they?
ire about to call the police. They are'|
ippreciaiive, kindly, compauionaDie,
leighborly. They live as nearly by "
he Golden Rule as is humanly possi-i
?le, I guess. And that being so, we I
lo the same. It is a good plan; don'ti
?
tone your neighbor's dog; it reduces
he likelihood that he will stone
s
ours."
Seems as if the wise old gentleman
reached a pretty good-sized sermon {
md in not so manv words, either.?

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.

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.
