support for morning-glory and wild

Use the handle from a broom, or a
stick of about the same size, for the
center support Of the umbrella-bower,
and by means Of two strips of wood
about IL inches long splice the UNI
brella handle to the end Of the broom
handle, binding the strip in place with
heavy wrapping-twine as shown In

Run a cord around the ends of the
umbrella-ribs, slipping it through the
eye Of each rib, or sewing it to each
eye If the cord is too thick to thread
it through. Then bury the end of the
broom-handle in the ground to a depth
Of 6 inches, and with it in position
take more cord and tie a piece to the
end of each rib, and a piece halfway
between the ribs to the cord you have

cords long enough to reach the ground,
and drive a stake into the ground In
the right position to fasten each cord
to. Plant the vines you wish to have
run over the frame, beside the stakes,
and entwine the small tendrils around
the strings to give the vines a start.
Then by guiding the little fingers, as
the vines grow, 80 the vines will
spread over to the adjoining strings,

laced. and by the time the top of the

will have a thickly covered bower.

Mountain Routs to Be Mapped.

A route book for the S of sum
mer tourists Is to be issued at an
early date by the state department
Of agriculture. The book will con-
tain the routes from Columbia to
Greenville, Anderson, S%partanburg
and Walhalla.
The final surveys will be made soon
by Commissioner Watson, who will
make a trip through the Piedmont
section Of the state. The book will
contain the routes from Spartanburg
and Greenville to Hendersonville.
The route book will show the dis
tances between the various points,
give the location of hotels and gas
oline stations. Summer travel to the
mountains by automobile is heavy
and the book is to be issued because
of the many letters reviewed by the
department asking for information as
to the best route to the mountains.

Camp al Augusta Closed to Troops.

Camp at Augusta Closed to Troops.
Washington.-The invitation ex-
tended by the war department to Gov.
Blease of South Carolina to have the
organized militia of that state partici-
pate in the manoeuvre camp to be
held in Augusta, Ca, next month has
been withdrawn because of the failure
of the South Carolina militia to meet
the requirements of the Dick militia
law as construed by the law officers
Of the department.
The attention of Gov. Blease some
months ago was called by the war
department to the shortcoming of the
South Carolina militia in the matter
of missing equipment and shortage of
men in the various grades. The re-
suit was some spirited correspond
ence between the governor and the
secretary of war.
Trouble later arose between the
governor and the secretary of war
over the location of the proposed joint
encampment on the Isle of Palms,
South Carolina. Secretary Garrison
finally peremptorily transferred this
camp to Augusta, Ga. Since then re-
ports from the officers of the war de-
partment have disclosed the fact that
the South Carolina militia still is de.
fcient in various matters complained
of originally and Secretary Garrison
has felt obliged to withdraw the de-
partment's invitation to participate in
the noe camp to be held in
Augusta.
So far South Carolina is the only
Southern State which will be exclud-
ed from the manoeuvres ON this &C.
count.
