The Innocent Sinners. Robert Quillen, in Fountain Inn, S. C., Tribune. The woman always pays; that is true.. She pays in loss of caste, and in l<>>s of ease and luxury; but in one particular she goes scot-fre^. She docs not pay in remorse? because she does not believe that she was at fault. When a man sins, he knows where to place the blame. He blames the first person singular. True, he may fashion an alibi in an effort to hold the good opinion of his fellows; but in his secret heart he condemns him self without mercy, and he says to his soul, "What a rotten ass I was!" A rotten ass he may have been, but he i? too honest and too lieral to trick himself. When a woman sins, she will re gret having risked so much for so lit tle; she will dread the long years of ostracism- that ar^e to follow; she will resent the scheme 4 of things that dooms her; but she will not condemn herself. On the morrow of her sin ning she will forgive herself freely and fully, and convince herself that no part of the fault was hers. At first glance this state of affairs would seem to indicate that men are liner sports than women and have mo; e intimate acquaintance with hon or. Hut the true explanation does man less honor. Man accepts responsibility for his acts solely in an effort to preserve his self-respect. He would, at any cost, maintain the fiction that he is captain of his soul. To confess that he was influenced and led astray would be to confess himself a weak ling and an inferior. Better far to make 'a bold front, to acknowledge full responsibility and manfully to re pei i than to confess that his will was weak and that another led him where he did not want to go. And woman is not wholly at fault if. the matter. For many, many gen erations she has been the Jed; her lord and master gave directions and her business was to folldw. Small Wonder that she now holds herself in n - ent. Wil the cook's helper hold himself responsible if the captain w-jeeks the ship? Cannery Circulates Money. ?'??"f.ning, Sept. 26. ?

Italian Kye (iraas U Said To Have Solved Problem. (N, L. WiUet inj News and Courier.) Fvery one, ami whether they real ly recognize it as a wAnt or not? every one needs a green winter lawn. Furthermore, there is no excuse for the homo thai wants it not to have it, for the means and an easy means, is at hand. Italian rye grass, some times known as Australian grass and known botanically as lolium multiflo rum or lolium Italicum, has solved the problem hero in the South, as to a winter green lawn, and regardless as to whether the area here is sandy or loamy, or whether it is under the shade of trees. This is a type of grass that is used very largely in Europe and is used tremendously in Australia and is in most common use as a commercial hay grass in Wash ington and Oregon. This grass looks like Kentucky blue grass and this is sufficient to com mend it. It, however, earries a darker green and is, therefor**, prettier in some respects than is Kentucky blue grass. It grows possibly from eight to twi'lvo ineht's ( high. It is not a ^tooling gratis ami the stems grow straight up ami in infinite numbers. Doubtless a pound of this seed will number in seeds anywhere from a half million to nunc. The pees m e ex ceedingly light and tiny, but 'tiiey ger minate except In cold weather exceed ingly well* The blades are narrow. The lawn grows otT quickly after be ing planted. The plant may run up about June 1 to eighteen inches high, or on rich land even two feet, and then, it goes to seed and dies down. It is not a legume. It is an annual grass. It can be planted right now. and 1 repeat that, whether your lawn is sandy or whatever its soil texture may be, or whether it is shady or sunny, you can. safely plant Italian rye grass on it, If your lawn has no sod on it, why plow it up and harrow it and plant Italian rye grass on it thickly, sixty to seventy-five pounds an acre, and harrowing it lightly over and rolling it afterwards will be still bettor. If there is ho six! on your lawn to give you succeeding green lawn following after Italian rye grass this next sum mer, why then plow under about the first of May ywur Italian >\Ve grass anil put. down Hermuda seed; Bermn da is perennial and will come up anil Ht ay green each summer and die down in winter. The two grasses work to gether beautifully. On the other hand* if you have a Hennuda sod al ready made, plant right now on it and on the top of the surface thickly Ital ian rye grass and this will give you ? green winter lawn. And provided you plant each fall Italian rye grass on this Hennuda sod, this will give you as combined a green lawn all the year --just as good and just as pretty as the green lawns of the North and it will be done at very much less ex pense than the people of the North spend on their lawns. One who goes north and Anas all lawns and grounds , carrying a very beautiful and continuous look of greon and lawns that represent care, and appreciation- -why to come back into tho South and hoc so many of the grounds that surround our houses hart* and ugly, why we feel disap pointed, We feel as if the people of tho South werv losing something i*' matters ethical. And true it is that up to a few years ago, outside of the latitude of blue grass, there was no possible way for us to have a green winter lawn, but this trouble now has been Removed with the ad' vent some years ago of this above very beautiful and important grass. It is best not to put on lawns stable manure. It is practically impossible to get stable manure that is i\ot tilled with all manner of weed seeds and there nothing more troublesome in a lawn than the weed. The better thing is to apply about live pounds of bone meal or a prepared guano called V. 0., to every two or throe pounds of grass seed. This can be put in with the seed if the ground i?s plowed and harrowed or can be applied almost any time directly on top of the grow ing grass. Very ninny people do not lawn mow Italian rye grass on their lawns. Sometimes the richness of the ground may indicate lawn mowing, but this is a matter of individual taste. The question I ?k ht now is to grl everybody who has a front yard to put. down at once Italian ryo grass. Negro ConimitH Suicide. St. Matthews, Sept. 2D.-' Ah the result of ill health induced by a so journ of several months in the North Jimmie Spigner, a well mannered and respected negro, took his life today about noon by sending a pistol ball through his heart.
