ther large pots or tubs, preference be-
Ing given to the latter. We use tubs
sixteen inches square and round ones
of the same diameter. These will
carry a plant several years If liberal
top dressing and liquid stimulants
are given. 1t is a good plan to raise
a few standards each year; the Older
plants can then be set ont in beds
or borders. where they are very ef-
fective.
Heliotropes are best grown out
doors from June 1st until the first
frost. They can be carried over IN a
temperature Of fifty degrees IN a
greenhouse or light cellar. and should
be kept moderately dry during the
severe winter months.
Care must always be taken to see
that the plants are securely staked,
as otherwise strong winds would
break or seriously injure them. A
compost of two-thirds turf loan, one
third well dried COW manure, in which
there is a good dash Of sand is ex-
cellent
The one cultural fact that makes
for success with heliotrope, is to keep
the plant growing. 1t suffers more
than most plants if it once gets dried
out, and must be kept fairly moist at
all times.
There are several varieties offered
by the florists and seedsmen, but the
best is probably Queen Of Violets.

Irish potatoes should be planted III
all the border states in March. The
best early varieties or at least those
which have given the best satisfac-
ton. are the Triumph, Early Hebron
and Early Rose, preference being
generally given to the first named. No
stable manure should be put IN the
rows when the potatoes are planted,
as it induces scab and makes the po-
tatoes waxy:' With land we'll pre-
pared and enriched in the preceding
fall or winter two good workings Will
usually make a large yield of pota-
toes. They are usually cut and drop
ped in rows three and one-half feet
apart at intervals Of 10 inches in the
rows. They are then covered by
throwing the dirt with a single horse
plow over them, making fiat ridge
Just as the potato sprouts begin to
break through the everything ridge, a
harrow should be run over the land
breaking down the ridges and Destroy
ing all the weeds and grass. Two
weeks after this narrowing the pota-
toes should be ''sided OUT with a
one-horse pillow, and two weeks later,
if the weather has been seasonable,
the dirt should be thrown to them.
This completes the cultivation. Level
culture is preferred by many growers,
and the cultivation in that case is
done with double-shovel plows.
Nearly all garden vegetables should
be planted in March, and especially
the harder kinds, such as peas, on
ions, satisfy, parsnips, cabbage, car
rots, lettuce and spinach. Tomato
plants should be raised in hotbed,
but not transplanted until the warm
moist days in April. Snap beans
cannot stand cold weather, and the
planting of these should be deferred
until the danger from frosts is over,
unless protected by canvas covering.
In the extreme south all kinds Of
garden vegetables should be in good
headway in March, and will need ac-
tive and frequent cultivation.

3. C. Whitney's Isle Of Spice. {"

"To say, general, that the Ameri-
can stage differs in no way from that
Of any other country, would not be al
together true," says dainty Leslie
Leigh prima donna Of B. c. Whitney's
piquant musical mixture, the elsie of
Spice" soon to be seen in this city.
Human nature is the same the world
over, yet custom and tradition must
be taken into account. Our people,
for example, have never taken kindly
to the so-called trained drama. We
have delighted in that which was up
lifting and ennobling, and Stunned
that which was salacious and degrad-
ins. It has been the rule that play
that is unfit for the young person
to see was unworthy for the elders to
attend. Foreigners have poked the
finger of derision at US on this ae-
count, but, we have stood our ground
and upheld our traditions. Of
course, plays which were beyond de-
Tense and beneath contempt have en-
joyed some little prosperity on our
stage, but these have been like angels
visits, few and far between.
Gas to reforming the American
stage, I do not see where any reform
is necessary. Good plays succeed and
bad ones fail; vicious plays are driv-
en- from the stage, and scant support
is given to the trihing and inane.
These, then. may be said to be halcyon
days for the American actor. and
playwright and manager. What de-
fects there may be will find speedy
remedy, for that which is lacking in
truth, cannot long survive.'

At this time when the whole world

many years ago she said:

two-edged, nay, a many-edged sword,
which may be made to cut in every IL
reetion. If willy politicians and sor-
did capitalists may WELD it for mere
party and personal greed; if oppress-
ed wage-earners may invoke it to
wiring justice from legislators and ex-
tort material advantages from en-
ployers; if the lowest and most de-
graded classes of men may use it to
open the sluice-ways of vice and
crime; if it may be the instrumental
ity by which the narrow, selfish, cor
rupt and corrupting men and meas
ures 1ule-it is quite as true that no.
ble-minded statesmen, phllanthroplsts
and reformers may make it the wea-
pom with which to reverse the above
order of things, as soon as they can

A Plant for The Piazza.

W. n. Craig in Garden Magazine.
Few plants are more useful for pi-
azza decoration than heliotropes,
when grown in standard or tree
forms. The rich deep mauve color of
the flowers, and their delicious fra
granee make the heliotrope favorlte
with everyone. AS ordinarily grown
it is not very conspicuous object. If
given a light situation. where they
can get a reasonable amount Of sun
shine, and be watered carefully, they
will flower nearly al summer. Even
under q haavily-shade3 piazza OF i'll a
hallwa~ they will keep we'll fer Two or
three weeks, after which they should
be placed outdoors in a sunny posi-
ton, pruned back a little, syringed
two or three times daily, and carefully
wateret. Within a month they Will
again be mass of bloom. Four good
crops Of flowers can thus easily be Sc
cured between May and October.
There is nothing specially difficult
in the growing or training Of this
type of heliotrope. In March OF
April secure few small, vigorous
plants from local florist, which
should be potted along as required,
taking care never to allow the plant
to become matted with roots or pot
bound. The top must not be pinched
from the main stem until the desired
height is reached, but all the flowers
and side shoots should be carefully
removed. and the stem tied to stake
sufficiently stout to keep it firm. The
stem can be run up to any desired
length before being topped; the usual
! height is about four feet. A number
! of side shoots will soon appear, which,
when they have made growth Of five
or six inches, are pinched, and this
pinchiny is continued until the plant
carries head Of the desired size.
A cutting rooted in the spring will
produce large heads during the sum-
mer Of the year following. If start
ed in the fall. and grown all winter
in moderately warm house stand
ards can be had the following July.

OF CHARLESTON

LISTS AND CLASSIF1ES THEM
Fruits Of Dispensary-Strong Presen-
tation Of Conditions in S. G. Con-
sequent upon States Under
taking Monopoly Of Sales.

A staff correspondent Of the asso-
ciated prohibition press, who has
made an investigation of the liquor
traffic conditions in this state and a
special study Of the blind tiger situa-
tion in Charleston, makes an inter
esting report on ''the fruitage Of law
lessness and corruption in the wake of
the state saloon system He says:
"There are 469 Federal tax receipts
Of retail liquor dealers and retail
dealers in malt liquors. now in force
in South Carolina.
"Including those that have been
voted out during the past year, there
are 107 regular and thrity-six beer
dispensaries in the state. This leaves
a total of 326 blind tigers in the
state that hold a Federal tax receipt
for selling liquor. There are, there
fore, nearly two and half times as
many blind tigers in the state as le-
gal selling establishments.
'tThese 143 dispensaries in the
state represent but ninety-one towns
and cities where liquor has been legal
ly sold during the past year. In
twenty of these places the people have
voted out the grogshops, so that there
are now but seventy-one towns and
cities where intoxicants are legally
sold.
"a most striking fact comes to the
surface Of this blind tiger situation:
Of the 1926 blind tigers Of the state
only twenty-nine are to be found in
prohibition districts. The balance Of
2o7 are all locatedin dispensary towns
and cities.

ssIn this connection, it is interest

dispensary cities Of the State and
their condition as to blind tigers.
"Below is given list Of the

the state pockets the money. These
so-called raids are looked upon
more as foragine expeditions than
bona fde raids. The tigers carry a
t1ihine stock which is replenished
daily SO their loss from the raid is
small. Such course enables the po-
lice to keep up show Of activity and
the crop Of free liquor 50 harvested
into the dispensary stock amount to
3oodly sum. The Charleston police
Tow turn over to the dispensary for
sale from 5000 10 10000 bottles OF
beer each year, and a proportionate
amount of whiskies. Gobbling their
supplies Of liquor in this way is
cheaper for the dispensary than to
buy it in the market.
The 'eighty proof whiskey scheme
of 1895 has been somewhat improv-
ed upon in recent years. The dispen-
saries now sell at retail a corn whis-
key at $1.60 a gallon. This whiskey
is billed to the county dispensaries
at s1.44 a gallon As the govern
ment tax on this stuff is s1.l0 per
gallon for proof whiskey, it would
seem that there would be but thirty
four cents per gallon to go to the dis
tiller and the wholesaler. As mat
ter of fact, this liquor is only 'seven-
ty proof, that is, 70 per cent whiskey
and 80 per cent water. Seventy
proof whiskey at s1.44 per gallon is
approximately the same as zone hun
dred proof or pure whiskey at So
per gallon. The wholesaler, there
fore, gets about ninety cents per gal
lon for this liquor after the tax is
paid, instead of thirty-four cents.
The dispensary doctors the whiskey
with 80 per cent water as a money
making proposition. This liquor is
sold to the consumer at ten cents per
half pint. The purchaser, therefore,
gets a whole half pint of corn whis-
key for two-thirds the price paid in
license states for a single drink.
"In the same way, the dispensary
doctors some Of it's rye whiskey with
% per cent water so as to make it
'seventv-fve proof This whiskey is
billed to the dispensaries at S1.60 a
gallon. The consumer pays fifteen
cents for half-pint, the same as is
paid for a single drink in license
saloon.
"This plan Of 'doctoring' or adul-
terating the whiskey was first inau-
guratel for the purpose Of fighting
the blind tigers from which purpose
it has been diverted by the trend Of
events. It is now purchased by the
blind tigers who sell it by the drink.
4 ten cent half-pint Of whiskey Will
weld four drinks at 10 cents each:
This ten cent whiskey is very popular
with the negroes, two Of whom can
chip in five cents each and get two
drinks each The effect of this IS the
retailing Of whiskey at two and one
half cents per drink. From scheme
to fight blind tigers this adulterated
whiskey has become a bond Of friend
ship between the tigers and the dis
pensaries.'
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-03-23


The official records Of the col
jeetor Of internal revenue and OF the
State dispensary show, therefore, that
there we're, during 1904, more than
ten times as many blind tigers in the
ainety-one dispensary towns and
cities as in all the rest Of the State
combined.
"One of the chief reasons urged
hy Senator Tillman for the establish
nent Of the dispensary was that pro-
hibiticn territory was a breeding
ground for 'joints,' 'speakeasles,'
blind pigs blind tigers, and other
vexmin of like character. After twelve
wears of trial the dispensary proves
10 have enormously distanced prohl-
hition as a breeder of Illicit liquor
selling.
1.-The habitat Of the tax receipt
blind tiger is chiefly in the larger
cities. The rural moonshiner fights 1t
ont with the deputy marshals as best
he can without giving up to the gov
eminent the price Of the tax receipt.
In Columbia, the capital city, the tiger
ia far less arrogant than he was few
wears ago. There are now twenty-five
blind tigers in Columbia, which pay
the tax receipt, most of them being
located within pistol shot Of the cap1-
tol building and lying in the territory
between it and the main State dlspen-
sary building"
