IMPROVING HOME GROUNDS

There are several things TO be con
sidered before tn, actual work of i'm,
provcmcnt has been started. and the
best thing that can be done is for the
owner of the home to carefully weigh
the existing conditions and see just
where they are good or bad and just
what needs changing the most.
AS general thing wc arc pretty
sure 10 find that we have no, enough
trees around our homes. for we must
remember tina, this is climate of
sunshine and considerable wind in
the spring. Another thing. We are
situated in locality where the
mountains are the source of delight
for the eyes to feast upon. This sim
ply means that if there isn't some.

some tall trees around the border OF

some small dense growing trees on
the inside of these trees. We form

MOST IMPORTANT

II Is very Important lust at this
time that the farmers pay in the rest
of their subscriptions 80 that the mat
ter can be- taken up immediately and
definite arrangements made. If the
services of an expert are to he en-
loycd tins season quick action must
be taken. What an experts services
mean TO the development of the MIN.
brcs Valley ha, been discussed in the
news and editorial columns of TIN,
paper before. OF all the project,
proposed this is undoubtedly the most
important and will be an insurance on
every mans investment in the city
and valley.
JOHN HUND SUGGESTED
Sentiment among the farmer,
seems to be in favor of giving the
position to John Humid, who has
proved himself an expert agricutur-
ist IN most practical way; in fact
he has exploited the possibilities of
agriculture here when the heads of
our institutions looked with doubt ON
our efforts. That we should call in
a theorist at this time would be To
give credit where credit is not due
Mr. Humid understands the problems
facing the farmers here because he
has met and solved them. Every cit
izen of the county is familiar with
his efforts and his success in prov
ing farming by irrigation from wells
to be II commercial possibility. That
Mr.. Humid should not be acceptable
to the judges of an experts efficiency
at the State College is unbelievable.

High License For Charleston.

1t is quite probable that before the
adjourns law providing
for the sale of liquor in Charleston
under the high license system instead
of through the county dispcnsary will
be enacted. The measure has passed
the house by a large majority ard has
been reported faYorably to the senate,
which indicates that the senate will
probably enact it. Notwithstanding
the fact that the measure was intro
d duced by member of the Charleston
delegation, reports come from Char
lesion to the effect that it is not what
the people want. If this be the case,
our prediction is that the provisions Of
the high license law will be lagra7'iy
violated. What the liquor selling ele-
ment of Charleston wants is the
straightout, old-fashioned barrooms,
which can not be legally established in
South Carolina without a change in the
constitution.
Not since the old barvooms were
closed mas any law regulating the saleo Of
liquor been enforced in Charleston, and
The Advertisers prediction is that if
the law be changed so as to allow the
i Individual to sell Liquor in original
packages it will be grossly violated in
Charleston. instead of being sold in
unbroken packages, liquor will be open
ly sold over the counter by the drink.

The G1eenville Female College.

The Baptist denomination in South
Carolina is sufficiently strong numeri-

IN aintain institutions of learning for
