CLIMBING LILY OF THE VALLEY

CLIMBING LILY OF TIE VALET
Climbing lily of the valley Is the
common and quite appropriate name
applied to a plant which botanists are
pleased to name Salpichroa rhomboi-
dea. 1t was sent out about fourteen
years ago under the name Withania
organifolio by the Cox Seed Company
of San Francisco. This subject has so
many good qualities that we do not
understand why it is not more general
ly known and extensively planted. 1t
is absolutely free from the raVages
of insect pests. 1t is drouth resistant.
We have seen it growing along the
margin of an unpaved side walk under
pepper trees, and do well without
drop of water the entire summer. To
be sure under these conditions 1t did
not make a vigorous growth. 1t Will
stand six degrees of freezing without
injury to the vines other than the ten
der young shoots. When frozen to the
ground, If the ground is not frozen,
the vigorous rhizomes will send up
rapid growth to top as soon as warm
weather returns. 1t will grow In soil
so alkaline that no other plant ex-
cept salt grass will endure. 1t VIII
stand, indeed luxuriates, in a temper
ature of 100 to 120 degrees every day of
the year and If given water Will make
growth almost equal to the blue
moon vine, Ipomea Learii. Every resi-
dent of California knows what that
means. Where the Ipomea Learii will
endure the winter so also will the Sal
pichoroa. A forage plant for bees it
has few equals, and no superior. The
flowers are small. of much the same
shape of lily of the valley flowers, of
a light cream or white color, and are
borne on short pedicles in the axil of
every leaf If trained on wire sup
port and the top becomes too dense it
will stand shearing, the same as a pri-
vet hedge. We paid a half dollar for
the first one tested. 1t is so easily
propagated by using root cuttings or
top cuttings that there is no reason
why it could not be propagated and
sold at fifty dollars per thousand with
profit.-Pacific Garden.

HOW TO GROW wATERcREss

Those fond of watercress may have a
summers supply by sinking an old tub
or bottom of hogshead to depth of
ten inches near a pump or well or
where the water can be frequently re-
newed from hose. Half fill receptacle
with good SOIL plant rooted water
cross and fill with water. A border OF
umbrella plants or other aquatic plants
will make it thing of beauty as well
as of utility. A further Improvement
may be made by planting iris around
outside of the tub, the overflow of
water giving the necessary moisture
to the owers.--Woman's Home Com

cRIMs SON CLOVER

This species of clover so extensively
grown by Atlantic states agriculturists
for forage crops and soil rejuvenator,
if used on vacant lots so plentiful in
Southern California cities and towns,

crimson flower heads which are three
to four inches long, scarcely an inch
diameter. Get some seed now and be

CARE OF AzALEAs

The Indian azalea is very easily
grown indoors. All that is required
is that they have a reasonable amount
of water, sufficient at each watering
so that the entire ball is moistened.
1t frequently happens that the soil in
the bottom of the pot becomes dry
because of insufficient watering, al
though the soil on top may be damp.
This condition can easily be told by
rapping the pot with the knuckles. If
it gives a hollow sound, it is dry; if
dead sound, it is wet, the water fill
ing all the interstices between the soil
particles. / would suggest that you
sometimes put the azalea, pot and all,
into a pail or other receptacle of water
the water should cover the poland
the pot be allowed to stand there for
several minutes, probably ten min
utes, or until the air ceases to rise.

Shot In Self Defense?


L. 4. Simpson, familiarly known as
Bum, was shot and killed by his
father-in-law, Travis II. Pitts Friday
afternoon at the home of the former
at Robbins, Barnwell county. The
body Of the deceased was brought to
Laurens Saturday and taken out to
Rocky Springs church for interment.
The particulars regarding the cause
that led to the trouble between the
men and the tragedy itself have been
rather hard to obtain, there being
many conflicting versions of the whole
affair as received here. 1t appears.
however, that Pitts, whose home is in
Laurens, had been summoned by his
daughter, Mrs. Simpson, to come "at
once" she having sent more than one
telegram to this effect. Upon reach
Ing the Simpson home some ten days
ago, going in response to the messages,
Pitts is said to have found his daught-
er critically i'll and without medical
cured physician and employed a
cook This seems to have offended
if not enraged Simpson and one or
more quarrels ensued Finally. it is
said, Simpson told some of his friends
that he was going to put an end to the
"old man If lie did not get away from
there by n certain time as he had re-
peatedly ordered him to leave and stop
interfering with his affairs.
Pitts heard of the threat and when
they met at the commissary of the
lumber company for which Simpson
worked, Pitts, ii is stated Informed
his son.n-law that he had heard OF
the threat but he was not going To
leave un;!l his daughters condition
improved. and furthermore he was
prepared to take care of himself. In
stantly pistols were drawn Simpson.
it is alleged. shot first but missed.
whereupon Pitts fired jwice, mortally
wounding his antagonist
On Saturday Pitts sent letter to
Laurens friend, saying that he had
Killed Bum in self defense and that
he expected to deliver himself up to
the sheriff OF Darnwell during the day.
Yesterday it was stated the defendant
had secured bail and that bond would
be arranged, Owing to the continued
Illness of Mrs. Simpson, Pitts may not
return to l.aurens at once.
Travis Pitts was reared in the Brew
ertou section of Laurens county Sew

where he has continued to ply his
trade-painting. He has always been
regarded as lawabiding citizen and
