Rev. John W. Speaker and Ute officoro ot his church to have one thousand persons in attendance to day at their Easter Sunday school service. This could be easily done, if his people woald enter heartily and glad ly Into the spirit of the occasion, which we truly hope they will. Soma may look on these rally day occasions as mero spurts that soon pass and leave no beneficial results behind. Wo do not by any means agreo with them. They do good. They do lasting good.,! They show first what a church can do, if it would. And that ls worth a great deal. TO realize-that we are living tar below our possibilities in any line of endeavor ls tho first step in the way of doing better. For a congregation to see one thousand per-' sons present on any one day makes many a one realise, that the church can and should do better In the way of attendance. than lt does st all times. Then the big attendance bring out some who are lukewarm and have perhaps been Indifferent for sometime. And when they come and get a wann welcomu and are once more Identified with the cause they feel better them selves and make others happloi. Easter marks the opening up of the spring season and no doubt many who come out today will find lt easier to keep coming. *i* Rev. J, W. Speake has done a no table work wherever he has labored. Bethel church, Rpartanburg, ia one ot thc most aggressive churches in the Upper South Carolina Conference. There are hundreds of yoong men and women who have made that their church home. And that church **?? set going on Hs upward way largely through the lahourloas work of Mr; Speake. who was pastor tncre for four yeaTB. HU . work at St. J,ohns has nlro been htyh class. Htrpreaehe* to congr?gations, the various depart - m* ni.- ot tlx; church aro well organiz ed and active, and Mr. Spca kc's in fluence is felt throughout the city of Anderson for good. He deserves to see one thousand- yes more than a thousand-at St. John's today. And we believe they will be there. No Sunday school has a more de voted superintendent, nor a more eurnest and loyal leader than O. M. Heard, who is always "on the Job," and who will rejoice at today's large attendance. HIT STEADY IN THE BOAT. President Woodrow Wilson addres sed tho Baltimore Conference of the Southern Melhodist church which was in session in Washington, D. C., last week. One v)f the things he said waa this, "I value the churches of this country as I would value everything else that makes for the stability of our morai, processes. There are a groat many people-not so many that they give rae any particular concern but nevertheless a great many people, who in the language of the day, are trying hard 'to rock the boat.' The boat is too big for them to rock. They are of such light material that they cannot rock it very much, but they are going through .the motions, and it ls Just as well for them to look around once in a while and see the great steadfast body of self-possessed Americans not to be hurried into any unconsidered line of action, sore that when you are right you can be calm, sure that when the quarrel la none of yours, you can be impartial, sure that the men who spend their pas sion most will move tho body politic least, and that the reaction will not be upon the great body of American citizens but upon themselves." Some who are trying to make the great American ship of State rock are doing so because they have gun powder to seil and if Uncle Sam entered the .war, he would be a big buyer and would pay cash for his ammunition. Others are doing so,.because their sympathies are emphatically for one side or the other in the big war and < their hope is that the United States would help, that 'side. The suggestion has been made hy one of the New York papers that this class of people, the boat rockers, ought to be investigated hy the gov ernment. Bat there ure "still others, who do j so innocently, those who possess weak or immature minda and are easily thrown 'into a panic. These are to be pitied more than blamed. 1 But the moral lesson that the presi dent calls bur thought to is a per fectly clear one. Much depends In ovt ry nation .on that class of men who have the mental and moral capacity : to 'alt steady In the boat/ And es- j pectally is that so, when we are lu a crisis as we are now. This is a temp?raient of mind that all men ought to ulm at. The age of 1 deacreUon or self contrai connot be j Axed by the number o? years that one ( has lived. It comes to some much sooner than to others. To some it seem? never to come at all. Some 1 minds' seem always to be weak and j immature'.' Others develop Into men of poise and self control rapidly. The old Romans required the boys, 1 whose minds were vet uneducated to j wear a scarlet-boi'dored gown, but ( ph reaching the age of discretion, they 1 were accounted as men and were re- 1 quired to wear a plain black gown. With us we have no distinctions in J dress to mark oft tho immature from > the mature. t Bat in all nations, the progress and j the stability of things depend upon j the number who, mentally and moral ly know how to sit steady in the boat, f ^ s SUPPORT THE ORPHANAHE. ?

Plan of A Sm Garden for Office of Information, U. S Dept. of Agriculture. WASHINGTON, Apr? 3.-A small backyard garden 7.1 fbet long and 50 fete wide, particularly suitable for gardeners in Southern cities, has been planned by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture's specialist. In a previous article a pian was shown, for a half-acre garden; the present" suggestion is made for those who have not the room for such an exten sive patch, but desire to hu ve a sup ply of vegetables for the home. Provision has been mad? in the plan for a hotbed, cold frame, and open seed beds running the length of the garden; also for an asparagus bed and a rhubarb or perennial herb bed. The other vegetables are planted in rows running across the width, and the suggested order in which the various kinds mtght appear, and in which' later crops might follow Ss given herewith. i Lettuce, radishes followed by celery. ->. Onions followed by celery. Parsnips followed by celery. Carrots followed by kale. Beets followed by kale. Pea;;-Early varieties followed by Pall cabbage. Peas-Late varieties followed by Pall cabbage. Beans followed by Fall potatoes. Cabbage 'followed by Fall potatoes. Cauliflower, Kohl-Rabis followed ;>y Fall potatoes. Tomatoes followed by Spinach. , Eggplants, peppers followed by , spinach. | encumbers followed by turnips. , Muskmelons or squash followed by , urnips. Burly potatoes followed by Fall \ )eana. Sweet corn followed by Fall pea?. . In the above plan, the first two \ ?ow8 a% devoted one to lettuce and , me to 'adishes, the two crops to bo , olio wed later "by celery. The next' t bree rewa- are devoted to onions , rom seed sown in place and are to , >e followed later by celery. < The next two rows' are demoted to ( >arsnips to be followed later by eel- , ?ry and the next two rows are de- ( roted to carrots, to be followed In \ ho autumn by kale. The next three , -ows are to be devoted to garden , >eets sown in sucesslon and followed ( n the autumn by a crop of kale. j The next twp rows, which are 3 ( eet apart, are to be devoted tc early t varieties of peas, the first sown about t i week before the second row and f ifter the crops dre removed the land j * to be devoted to autumn cabbage. , Pwo additional rows are to be sown t o lat? peas planted In the same or- j [er as the first and also followed by LUtumn cabbage. The pea patch ad oins three rows devoted to beans, j vhich are to be followed oy autumn j totatoes. The next, two rows r*re de- < roted to cabbage, followed in the { LUtumn by potatoes. ? The next row is devoted to caul i - t lo-cr or kohl-rabi, to be fellowed , u the autumn by potatoes. The. next j wo rows are devoted to tomatoes tied e o stakes, and after the tomatoes f lave been .harvested. Ute laud ls sown p. spinach. The next row ia devoted ; >artly to eggplants and partly to pop kura to be followed biter In the aea on hy spinach. The next row, which s six feet ?rom the eggplants, ls de- , fot od to cucumbers to be followed . liter the cucumbers are harvested by ? m autumn crop of turnips. . , The next row is 8 feet from the cu- . :omb?rs and ls devoted to musk- ? nolana or aaoashes, followed by tur- , tips tn the aututnn.

I Where the distance between the , rows ls leas than two feet, hand cul- , dvatlon with a wheel hoe is contem plated.

CYRUS viitAHAM. Lall Backyard the South ed. Of course, the plan is only sug gestive, and each giower will have to advise additional plans to suit his own conditions. Among the things that particularly mu?t be considered In each specific case is the location of the garden. In this connection the question of proximity to the house should be given first consideration. As the work of caring for the garden is usually done in spare time, the location selected should be as near the house as possible. A slope to : the south or southeast is usually prefer able, because here the soil warms up j early in the spring, which permits' early planting and stimul?tes the early growth of crops. Practically any type of soil can be used for the garden, but a sandy loam is to be preferred. Good drainage is of prime impor tance. The land ' should havo suffi cient fall to drain off surplus water during heavy rains, but the fall should not bo so great aa to wash the soil. If the land near the house ls level, artificial drainage should be employed. Open ditches or tile drains will be " satisfactory. On lovel land that is not artificially drafted it is necessary to plant on ridges or In beds to prevent drowning the crops during wet wea th-sr. The ridges or beds should bo as wide and flat as conditions wdll " allow, for narrow, sharp' ridges dry*ftut quickly. . Succession of Crops. In planning the 'location of crops, consideration should - be given to the matter of succession, in order that the land may be occupied as large i, part of the time:as possible. It is not advisable to have a second plant ing of the same crop or a closely re lated crop follow the first. Cabbage should not follow cauliflower, brus sels sprouts, mustard, or kale, fer many of the same diseases and in- 1 leets affect all of these crops. To- *1 uatoes, egg-plants, and peppers should not follow each other. In the llagram this point has been consid ered in planning a succession of :rops. In some sections three or four irops can be grown on the same land ' ' ;ach year, while In other sections :wo crops are all that can be grown 0 advantage. When a crop is har-1 ' rested early in the season and it ls ( ' mt. practicable to plant another r?g ?t able for two or three months, the and -may be planted to cowpeas QT :rlmson clover. For example, after 1 crop of early cabbage it may not be leslrable u> plant another wgotable, trop until late sum ?ncr or autumn. " n this case- it would be desirable tb tow cewpeas or crimson clover, to be ur tier" under in preparation for the j ' all crcu. Rotation af Crops. Rotation of crops is as important n growing vegetables as in growing leid crops, and the same principles :an be applied- Crop rotation is Im portant, in checking diseases and In lecte and in keeping the, bolt in good ,-. condition. 'Where dl'-ase- are very j ?evere, 'Hie same crop should not bc lbw ted continuously , on Hie same irea. rotation of .crops ls one ot the tafeguards against soil infection. j < IM>KIIMAN BARTON MAKEH SATEMENT (CJONTINtTED FROM- PAGE ONE.) :----^--j, h? soon ?s I could'get my affairs u shape I went to my<-eBnnWAi tide, and Friday night succeeded tn ?lacing him In a hospital in Atlanta. ) i was so anxious to get back to An- ? tenon that I did not walt to see him >peratcd ott Saturday -morning.

"As to tba insinuations fiat havel l>een made with reference ic* Mr. John- f J ion's bid haying a*** opened, I vii: ?tafe that last Monday morning while I was at city hall Mr. Johnson ap? I troached me and said. .'Here iS'iinyJi t?M on the city barn and the set off plann which your committee furnish ed me to Agar*} on,' or words to that j i affect.

Prices $3.50 to $6. tinned Alderman Barton, "and dr?p- ' ped the stuff given me by Mr. John son upon a table. The bid was rolled up Inside the plans, and I recall that as I dropped the plans on the table they unrolled and the envelope con taining Mr. Johnson's bid fell out. I took my pencil and wrote acroas his envelope 'bid on city barn' and left it there among other papers on my desk. If that, envelope was opened? it was done by some one else, and not by me. "That I had no idea of how much Mr. Pruitt would bid on the barn is shown by the feet that I furnished another contractor, Mr. Guest, data on which to base his bid for the barn; and my own estimate to Mr. Guest was 12,495. When the bids were opened last Tuesday night. Mr. Pruitt's bid was shown to be $2,265.. Now if I was lined Up with Mr. Pruitt, r,r if I had opened Mr. John son's bid and then told Mr. Pruitt what to make his bid, I would' have shown mighty little sense in telling him to submit a bid which was $230 lower than my own estimate which I furnished for Mr. Guest. 'As for the statement by City En gineer Sanders at the council meet ing that he observed me on the night bids were opened gather up the en velopes in which bids were submitted (with the exception ot the envelope that contained the Johnson bid, which ho had slipped out from among the others and kept) and throw them in tho fire. This insinuation is absolutely untrue. But suppose I bed done such a thing as this, .wouldn't T have been a fool to burn up all envelopes ex cept the very one that contalued the Johnson bid, which they Insinuate was tampered with? "City Engineer Sanders seemed to try to make capital out ot the fact that I -vilowed the Johnson bid and the Prr ^t bid to be turned over to me per. ?hally instead of requesting them to. take their bids and turn them iver to the city.-clerk. Well, Alder man Tate, who ia a member of the nuns ''city barn committee,' had bids turned ever to him and he kept them in his store until the committee met' And yet we .hear the -city engineer tay nothing about anybody but Al-r lorman Barton receiving bids. "On last Tuesday morning I had some conversation with Mr. Pruitt' I told him that I thought the man who got tue contract for etty barb would have to bid under $2,3Q0. I sad heard '.f intimated on the street that someone was going to bid $2,300, >n the barn, and I hadan idea lt was. Mr. JOe Hembree who waa going tc, make this bid. When I made this re mark to Mr. Pruitt lt waa said lu i Joking sort of way, and with no in tention of influencing him In his bid. As a matter o* fact, 1 had no idea what Mr. Pruitt was going to bid. "When Mr. Pruitt came to my of &co and said he was going to chat ge tils bid, I told him that that was his privilege. He did not tell me What tila original ?gures were, how what he waa geing to make his new bid. He said something about having fig ured in 5 per cent and I told him that it waa my aim to get as low bids ss possible and get the work don?, roe* the .city as cheaply as I could. When Mr. Pruitt made the change ia Ids bid I waa not in the room. When I came back Into the room he hedi mrde tb,- change in his bid, sealed dp ht? envelope and placed lt on my j ieak. "I realise now that I acted imprud ent at tho council meeting last Wed-i nesdsy afternoon, bot I don't think j anyone can blame' me when they un derstand thc circumstances. Council wss in session that day -from noon t to 2 o'clock selling the paving bondi j ?nd as we left the- council otaMM it waa. announced that there would br ? a special meeting at 3 o'clock. I badi to hastie ts get dinner, go by my of- j Ree and get back to the city hall li that -short time, '.T had not been giren the slightest Intimation as to what the object cf the meeting was, though I understate1 ; other members o? council bad been i?md<. acquainted with the. object of th'e meeting. When the session open sd at 3 o'clock, there was Mr. John ion, UKI city engineer and ethers who4! hud been brought in to try and fas-! ten something upon me. As I said, I had not been told of the ob ject of the meeting; and when the session opened Mr. Johnson took the floor anf. immediately began making insinuating statements that I had tam pered with his bid. The affair struck me with the suddenness ot a light ning stroke, and when I saw what was very evidently a cut and dried affair to show me up before the pub lic in a bad light I lost my temper and caused Mr. Johnson and myself to come to blows. But I hardly think I am to be blamed Tor this. Why wasn't I given some novice as to the object of the meeting as well as oth er aldermen? If charges were to be preferred against me, why wasn't I told about lt and given an opportuni ty of defending myself. I was not prepared for any star chamber pro ceedings, and this ls what caused me to become angered. "In conclusion, I will say that I came to this town without anything. I have been lu business here for 37 years, and have established myself here, raised up roy family and con ducted myself af a respectable citi zen. Does it Bland to reason that at this late day in my life I would stoop to a mean, dirty little act that would not net me $50, if I sold Mr. Pruitt his material, and in so doing ruin myself, my business and cast a cloud upon my family?"

We have not, as yet, received settle-* ment from the insurance companies, but we will not sell any damaged goods until this settlement is made.
