PLANTING SCHOOL YARDS.
Keep the Interior Open, and Place
Shrubs on the Sides. g..a.

Keep the Interior Open, and Place
Shrubs on the Sides. f.,.,
Keep the center of tie school grounds
free. Do not scatter the trees and
shrubs over it. They will be in the
way. The boys will break them down.
Moreover. they do not look well when
scattered over the whole area. When
an artist makes a picture with many
people in it he does not place the per
sons one by one all over his canvas.
He masses them. Thereby be: secures
stronger effect. He focuses attention
rather than distributes it. Most per-
sons make a yard nursery by plant
ing trees, all over it. The; same trees
and shrubs can. be used to make either
a nursery, or y, picture. =, ,r.:!r as~ :,
: Begin with the fundamentals. not
with the. details. II 'au artist is, to
MAKE a. portrait he first draws few
bold strokes, representing the general
outline. He. blocks, out the picture.
With the general plan well in mind he
gradually works in. the incidentals and
the detalls-the nose, eyes, beard.
Most PERSONS reverse, this natural or
der when they. plant their grounds.
They first ask about the kinds Of roses,
the soil for carnations. how far apart
hollyhocks shall be planted. mse,g
1t is as if the artist first. asked about
the color Of the eyes and the fashion
Of the necktie or. as. if the architect
first chose the color OF paint and then
planned his building. The result of
this type of planting is that there is
no plan. and the yard means nothing
when 1t Is done. Begin with the plan,
not with. the plants. The school ground
should be hollow-well planted on the
sides. open in the interior. The side
next the highway Should contain little
or no planting. The place should be
picture. not mere collection Of trees
and bushes.

FLIES INDICTED.
The Charge is That They Spread
Disease Germs.

Uncle Sam has started to take a
fly census to learn how much the
pesky little buzzers have to do with
the spread of disease germs. The
enumeration is being made by scien-
tific bands of Agricultural depart
nlent entomologists. So far the CEN
sus mas been inauguarted in Wash
ington, D. c., and Pittsburg. DR.. L.
o. Howard, chief entomoligist Of the
department, is in charge of the fy-,
paper corps. He takes the census
by posting sheets of sticky tiypaper
in public places, such as meat stalls,
stores and daires. =; .
Every 4S. hours the sheets are col
lected and the flies counted. Being
able to- ascertain how long the flies
have been dead, it is easy for. the
scientists to determine the periods
during which they have been most
prolific in their particular localities.
The abundance of flies in certain
localities forms the basis of compari-
son with statistics furnished by the
Health department on theprevalence
Of typhoid fever in those localities.
The experts hope soon to have data
showing the responsibility OF the
house fly for this dreaded summer
disease. The greatest number OF
flies enumerated in any one period
is $500, at the United States arsenal,
the engineer post Of the army, on
the Potomac river. and near a big
p
sewer

WHO USES HYoMEI?

DR.. J. G. WannaDaker.

DIR. j. G. WannaDaker.
No other remedy or treatment for
catarrh has ever been as popular or
made so. many remarkable cures in
Orangeburg as Hyomei.
The best people attest it's curative
virtues in catarrhal troubles, say Dr..
j. G. Wannamaker, Mfg. Co., who
are the local agents The fair way
in which Hyomei was sold, to re-
fund the money unless it gave satis-
faction, was the best proof when it
was introduced that it possessed un-
usual curative, powers. DR.. J. G.
Wannamaker Mfg. Co. took all the
risk of the treatment giving salts
faction, and left it to the purchasers
to be the judge.
The sales rapidly grew and to-
day there is no other remedy in DR..
j. G. Wannamaker's stock that has
such large and staple sale.

oranseburr sIou,ns Cleveland.

Former President Grover Cleve-
land had many ardent admirers Ia
this CITY,, TO whom the news of his
death was a painful surprise. AT
least two Of Orangeburg's foremost
citizens, Judge Jas. F. Izlar and the
Hon. Samuel Dibble, LII. D., have
the honor of having been personal
friends Of the great Democratic and
statesman during their respective
terms as Congressman from the old
7th district. DR.. Dibble served in
the House during President Cleve-
lands first term, and Judge 1zlar
was in Congress during portion of
the last Democratic Presidents sec
ond term. Their admiration for Mr..
Cleveland, personally and political
ly, has never diminished, although
many years have passed since Judge
Izlar and DR.? Dibble have been ac-
tive in public affairs. AS mark
of respect to the distinguished dead
the city hell was told during the
funeral hour Friday afternoon.

1ardx Aupreciation OF Iarks.

Until comparatively recent years peo.
pie have had rather narrow idea or
the subject of parks Some OF the large
cities and towns have long possessed
public grounds both extensive and
beautiful. but the tendency was to re-
gard them us natures parlors

used. The first image called up by the
word park" has been that OF an array
Of little signb> ards bearing the eau

figuratively at Least. these little boards
are disappearing. Art is not losing the
public grounds, but the people are gain
ing them. This began through a be-
lated realization Of the relation OF parks
to public health. The new movement,
not content with letting the people
have the parks, is taking parks to the
people. 1t is fashioring numerous
small breathing spaces throughout the
congestcd parts of the great cities. The
latest phase Of the movement is for
the sake of the children. 1t is one that
may be seen ut work in vacant lots and
in squalid places, making what no one
ever heard Of until lately-playgrounds
for the little children Of the poor.

though fearing an attack from his
teacher It was Impossible. to break

teachers became accustomed to 1t and

But when the bishop came to town
and talked to the Sunday school he
lined up the boys and girls in class

from the caterhism. Johnny Clayton
happened to be at the upper end Of

him the first question:

he threw up his arm.

the bishop severely.

"Not so very long ago the city Of
Vera Cruz. In the Iowlying coast coun-
try of Mexico. was one Of the sickliest
spots on the continent, and because OF.
its high death rate it wds given wide
berth by natives and foreigners alike"
said Julian D. Appling of Chicago to
reporter Of the Baltimore American. Mr
Apping is interested in large sugar
estate near the above mentioned town
and is thoroughly familiar with condi-,
tions in the sister republic.
1.-The old. sinister reputation of Vera
Cruz" he continued. has been entirely
oblterated thanks to the talents and
good offices of one man, an English
man of the name of Samuel Pierson,
u millionaire promoter and developer,
who has invested large sums Of money
in the town and surrounding country
WHAT Pierson did was the simple act
of installing flushing system by
which the streets of the city got a
daily washing. The streets. once so
dirty and prolific Of disease now get q
thorough cleansing every twcnty-four
hours. and the water after performing
its service is carried away by a per-
feet sewerage plant.
"Since the installation Of the street

OF the past. Once a scourge. there has
not been a case of it In Vera Cruz for
the past five years. and the town that
