by a little care and attention to lawn
and trees and shrubbery have devel-
oped beautiful effects.
When we speak of beautifying the
home grounds our first thought is to &C
Immediately to landscape gardener
and turn the whole matter over to him.
This will do very well in case you have
sufficient means to warrant and also
in case you are 50 situated that you
can easily change your present hom"
grounds and make them what a land
scape gardener would want.
The object of this article is not to
Supplant the landscape gardener, for
we all owe too much to him to inter
fere in any way with his calling. But
our object is to suggest some way by
which it may be possible TO supple
ment what you already have about
your home in order to bring out the
lines of beauty and charm and make
your home a delight and satisfaction
to your family and your friends.
If YOU cah in q good landscape gar
dener his first observation will be the
general lay of the ground and size of
the lot Then he will gradually begin
to evolve gentle curves and angles,
tree here certain shrubs there and an
open grass plot in front or at the side.
In the making of his outlines the land
scape gardener may wreck some of
,hn iSI nj
Where you may have had some
straight and angular road in mind he
will advise gentle curve, and where
you may wish to so directly he may
choose to lay out the path by gentle
detour which would make possible
some splendid effects in shrubbery or
trees. If your house is already thick
ly surrounded by trees he may advise
a liberal use of the AK for the health
and brightness of the home.
There are three important divisions
in all landscape gardening - namely,
the house, the lawn and the trees and
shrubs. If you are building you will
of course lay out your ground and To-
cate your house in such way as to
make it fit in most effectively with
your plans for lawn and Shrubbery.
Too many people build the house first
and think about the arrangement of
the place afterWard. An hour or more
with pencil and paper, sketching out
your ground from different angles, will
mean more in the final outcome than
you can easily imagine.
Right here we want to emphasize as
strongly as we may that just as sur
prising results, in small way at
least, can be achieved with small lot
and a cottage as with a mansion on
large grounds. 1t will require more
brains to arrange the small lot etfec-
lively than the large one.
Simplicity and dignity are the two
words that give the keynote to all sue
cessful work in the arrangement of
the home grounds. After the buildings
have been located and the grounds
properly graded the next step is to de
termine the question of driveways and
walks.
These must depend very largely
upon the nature of the grounds and
the convenience of the people using
them. 1t will be found that any at
tempt to establish a walk around and
out Of ones way will defeat its own
ends, and the lawn will suflT@ as re-
suit, especially so if the walk is used
for practical purposes This does not
necessarily mean that the walk
should be laid in Il straight line, but
that 1t should start and end at the
most natural points.

Why They Don't Grow.

"The most remember about the
town." said traveller when asked
about a certain village, "ls that there
were hogs walowing in the mudholes
in the streets. every house wanted
repainting, and the hitching posts in
front of the stores all leaned over as
II tired out" There are good many
towns like that in the country, and yet
their inhabitants wonder why they
don't grow faster.

MIR. McNinch Republican Candidate?

The Fort Mill friends of S. S.
McNinch, former Democratic
mayor of Charlotte and well
known here as president of the
Charlotte Brick company, whose
plant is two miles south of town,
will be surprised to learn that
a movement is on foot among the
Republicans of the Ninth North
Carolina district to induce him
TO become their candidate for
Congress in the election next
November. The district is now
represented by E. Y. Webb,
Democrat, of Shelby. Mr..
McNinch is a leading business
man of Charlotte, and it is said
to be the purpose of the Re-
pubhcans in that district to try
to influence him to accept the
domination in the hope of
alternating the business interests
of Charlotte from the Demo-
cratic party. The Charlotte
Observer is authority for the
statement that Mr.. McNinch is
Republican, that he voted the
Republican national ticket in
1908 and previously.

SANAToR TILLMAN IS MISSED ,
FROM HALLS OF CONGRESS
South Carolinian's Absence Has Made
a Gap in National Capitol His ;
Personal Influence Counts.

In senate circles IN Washington
it is said that it would cause no
great surprise should Senator
Tillman, because Of his impaired
health, retire from public life at
the end of his present term.
While the senator had what is
termed close call, his death
being expected at any hour, he
happily pulled through and seems
now to be on the road to recovery.
His close friends say that he will
not retire unless he should be-
come confirmed invalid, and
this is not anticipated. The
gossip of the possible retirement
of Tillman is in line with the
gossip that arises whenever a
statesman is taken suddenly
i'll and not expected to recover. :,
Senator Tillman has lad Is
years of service in the upper
branch of Congress and no mem
Der of that body has forged to
the front more steadily than the.
senator from South Carolina. He
has personal influence that
counts for much for the State.
He is one of the few solons who
can fill the galleries and draw
from the house when it is known
that he is down for set speech.
He has been missed since his
illness. 1t is believed that he
would have had something inter-
esting to say on the postal savings
bank bill which recently passed, I
and that he would have some
thing to say on the Interstate
commerce bill just reported may
be better imagined than de-
scribed. 1t will be recalled that
he handled the last important
piece of railroad legislation
enacted into law a few years ago.
1t was the railroad rate bill
recommended by Roosevelt. But
this time it is doubtful if the
senior senator from South Caro-
lima will be able to take a hand
in shaping the new legislation.
Indeed, it is doubtful if he is
again seen in the senate this
session.

Lewis c. Baker Kills Himself.

Thursday morning at his home
in Charlotte, Lewis G. Baker
drank an ounce of carbolic acid
and died in great agony a short
while thereafter. 1t is said that
he had been drinking heavily a
few days before his death and
was in Respondent frame of
mind. Mr.. Baker was well
known in Fort Mill. Until few
years ago he resided here for
several years, being in the en-
ploy of the Fort Mill Mfg. Co. as
a machinist. He was man OF
kind and affable disposition and
consequently made many friends
here, all of whom will regret to
hear of his death. He was mar
ried about 20 years ago to Miss
Dovie Wilkinson. who is a
daughter Of G.. w. Wilkinson,
a former citizen of this town
ship. Among the surviving
relatives of Mr.. Baker is a
brother, J. w. Baker, who re-
sides in Fort Mill. Mr.. Baker
was a member of the Masonic
order, having joined the local
lodge several years ago. The
interment was in a Charlotte
cemetery Friday afternoon.

Messrs. Springs Win $48, 900 Suit.

Two former Fort Mill citizens.
now prominent cotton factors in
New York city, were the re-
spondents in an important decis-
ion rendered Saturday by the
appellate division of the supreme
court of New York State. The
gentlemen were Eli B. and Rich
ard A. Springs, sons of the late
Col. Baxter Springs, years ago
prominent and wealthy citizen of
this township. The Messrs.
Springs are members of the cot
ton firm of Springs & Co. and as
such sued a Georgia planter
named Blakely for $48, 900 due
on a cotton transaction. Blake
ly had refused to pay the claim
on the ground that it was con-
tracted through gambling
transaction upon which there
can be no recovery. The lower
COURT ruled against Blakely and
he appealed to the higher court,
which has sustained the ruling
of the lower court and the report
of a referee. The decision of
thes supreme court, which was
unanimous, is that the New York
cotton exchange is not a bucket
shop, but a legitimate market
for trading in actual cotton,

Fell in a Well.

Friday afternoon R. N. Capps.
a citizen of Steele Greek in
Mecklenburg county, N. c., who
is well known in Fort Mill, met
with a peculiar accident. Capps
and a negro were cleaning out a
35-foot well on the place of the
former. The negro was at the
bottom of the well and Capps
was on the ground about the
mouth repairing the curbing.
Capps lost his footing and fell
to the bottom of the well, carry
ing with him a quantity of earth,
rocks and timber. Neither Capps
nor the negro was seriously
hurt.

and turning out 155 jobs per
week, will go, or has already
gone, into the manufacture of
automobiles. 1t is the intention
to build high-grade, four-cylin-

In answer to questions by a
county auditor of the State,
Comptroller General Jones has
given three decisions of inn
portance on the tax question in
this State. The comptroller
general was asked for ruling on
the following points.
1. Is the wife of citizen,
deriving her income entirely
from investments through a
trustee in another State, subject
to the income tax in South
Carolina?
Answer: The income of a
married woman, resident of this
State, derived entirely from
investments made through her
trustee in another State, are
subject to the income tax in this
State. The residence of mar
ried woman is the same as the
residence of her husband, so
that if her husband is a citizen,
resident of this State, she must
be treated as such also.
2. Are houses in process of
construction and nearly COM
pleted, but not habitable on
January 1, taxable for the cur
rent year?
Answer: Houses in process of
construction and not completed
or habitable on January are to
be assessed for taxation at their
value on that date.
3. Is property shipped into
the State and on the ground on
January l taxable ad valorem
though not yet actually in use?
Answer: Property shipped in
to this State which has arrived
in the State on January l is
subject to taxation, although it
has not been put to any use in
the State since its arrival.
