BEAUnFYING HOME GROUNDS.
How to Select Shrubs and Arrange
Them Tastefully.

Beautiful home grounds tastefully
laid out and planted with flowers and
shrubs improve the appearance of
towns very much if care is taken in
the selection and arranging of shrubs.
Shrubs, as rule, are intended as
frame for the yard or garden. They
are planted around the borders of the
lawn or used to screen the foundation
of the house or to fill in corners.
The shrubbery frame for the yard or
garden should be formed on the same
principle as Il picture frame. the border
of a rug. etc 1t should harmonic
with the picture it incloses, and each
shrub in the border should harmonic
with its companions. Too often no
attention is paid to this kind of har-
mony, and the shrubbery border be-
comes a thing of shreds and patches,
made up of SNOWY bushes, perhaps
beautiful plants in themselves, but ar
ranged without regard to the effect Of
the shape, color and general appear
ance of one upon the whole.
In choosing shrubs to grow side Is
side consider the foliage and flowers
as carefully rs you consider the size
ard shape of the bush. DO not put
large masses Of light green foliage
ncHt to masses Of dark, or You will
have n natchy effect, b. care in Sc
lHctioH ~ regards towering season
YOU NAY r2 sure of having one or
more pl.ut> n the border in blossom
ut all tin C;!iug the summer. Two
shrubs that l,uSsom at the same timc
should not he placed together If the
coIors clash. In the summer study
your shrubbery border and make notes
as to new plants needed, their color
size and Towering season, and also
what old plants may proftably be
moved. These notes will enable YOU
to work accurately in the fall after The
blooming season or IN the spring Care
in selecting and arranging the plants
In your home grounds will never be
regretted.

Darlington Democrat: Judge Law
appeared at the county seat Monday to
hold his regular term of the county
court. There is nothing remarkable
about that because such is the custom
of the Judge but the manner of his
coming occasioned some surprise. He
came with friend in a true horseless
carnage-not an automobile such as
have become familiar sights but an au-
tobuggy of the ordinary height and ap
pearance of top buggies with nothing
lacking except the tongue and horses.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS
The Tuition for the Year 81 ,092.
Some Financial and Other
Statements


Another school year has passed into
history, and another class has joined
the ranks of the alumni This is time
for some to wish they had begun to be
interested in their studies earlier in the
year Most of the pupils put in an in
dustrious year and have the satisfaction
of passing in their work. Now is when
to resolve that next year we will see
to it that there is no wasted time and
no habits Of Incidence formed.
The class, the teachers and the whole
school may we'll feel pround of the way
the commencement work went off.
Beginning with the class day exercises,
the whole week was one round of sue
cess. That the Masque Of Columbus
and the play were appreciated was
shown by the large audiences and by
the frequent and hearty applause.
Commencement exercises at the church
Friday morning were fitting climax
to week Of unusually interesting ex-
ercises. The church was crowded to
the doors and many were obliged to
stand, while many others did not at
tempt to enter. The speakers were at
their best and went through their parts
without a single break of any kind,
showing very careful preparation and
earnest, painstaking training.
Rev. W. r. Bennett, the Congrega-
tional minister at Darlington, gave
very able and entertaining address,
which seemed to strike popular chord,
the audience showing it's appreciation
by frequent applause.
The class presented as its memorial
a library of IS volumes Of books from
standard authors Part of the books
have arrived and were at the church,
the others will be shipped later. The
class choose about $50 worth of books,
but the discount given by the publish
ers will make them cost about $40.
These 35 volumes form very valuable
addition to the library and the class is
to be commended for putting their
money to such good use.
The receipts were as follows:
Masque of Columbus 1923
Glass play Qst night .... $3.50
" end night 800. 106.05
Total ........... 1922. 30
Total expenses, including costumes,
hall rent, speaker for commencement,
class invitations and memorial, music,
and incidentals too numerous to men
ton, will amount to about 1922. 90, thus
leaving about $40 to be applied to the
ever present base ball debt.
The reason an accurate report can
not be given at this time is that the
books have not all arrived and the cost
of the missing books has been estimated.
The high school students will receive
their reports for the year the first part
of next week. If the records show
that you are weak in any study, you
had better take a little time this sum-
mer to study up.
The records show the following tuition
reports for the past few years:

Retreat? Never!

In an Irish garrison town a the
atrical company was giving perform
sances, and some soldiers from the lo-
cal barracks were engaged to act as
supers. Their duties included the
waging of a fierce fight in which, af-
ter a stirring struggle, one army was
defeated on a given signal from the
prompter For few nights all went
well, but on the Friday evening
special performance of the piece was
to be given under the patronage of
the colonel and other officers of the
garrison. The two armies met as
usual at the end of the second act,
when they fought and fought and
kept on fighting, regardless of the
agonized glare in the eye of the ac-
tor general, who horsely ordered the
proper army to Retreat, confound
you" But the fight still went on,
and soon the Mortified manager saw
the wrong army being driven slowly
off the stage, still fighting desperate
Iy. Down came the curtain amid
roars of laughter, and the Tuning
manager fastened to ask the delin-
quents why they had failed to re-
treat on hearing the signal
"Retraite," roar a burly fusiller,

MINERS ACCEPT OLD TERMS
Long Controversy Between Men
and Operators Settled.
Men Waive Their Demand For the
Recognition of the United Mine
Workers Union.

Scranton, Pa.-After weeks of con.
sideration and much comforting the
final stage in the work of settling
the differences existing between the
anthracite mine workers and their
anthracite mine workers and their
employers has been reached, and the
controversy is ended. The tri-district
convention of the union miners in the
Court House here unanimously ap.
proved the three-year agreement
reached by their representatives with
the operators and authorized them to
sign 1t in Philadelphia. The agree
ment is identical with the one signed
three years ago in New York, with
the following additional conditions
which the operators have conceded

"The rate which shall be paid fol-
new work shall not be less than the
rates paid under the Strike Commits.

The convention was harmonious.
While there were differences of opin-

was adopted, they were all unanimous
for the proposition when the final
vote was taken.

into Adana under fire on Thursday,
tended personally to many wounded

"Adana was a hell The bazaars
were looted and set on fire. There
was continuous and unceasing shoot

town, and fires ragged in many quar-

began pouring into the city, and not
withstanding our protests, the Vail
distributed arms to these men, alleg-
ing that they we're Turkish reserves.
Major Daughty- Wylie, at the head
of troops which he compelled the
Vail to supply, went to the railroad
station of the town and was success
full in preventing the villagers from
coming into Adana. Later, while the
Major was attempting to pacify the
town he was shot and disabled.
Missionaries of the Central Tur-
key Mission had assembled for dis
trict conference in the centre of Adj
