in some degree how Winthrop's repu-
tation has spread.

tary of the Religious Educational as
sociation has been conducting a Sc
ries of lectures on religious educa-
ton. These lectures were very bene-
fetal and greatly enjoyed by all.
The lyceum numbers arranged for

They will consist of good lectures,
concerts and other entertainment.
The Winthrop students by buying
season tickets, will get to attend
these numbers for the small price of
twelve and half cents piece. The
first number, the "Oratoria Artists"
will be given the evening of Novem-

bers this year. The association has
given two receptions this year. One
was for the whole student body and
the other was for the new girls. The

bring the girls in closer touch with
the members and the work of the
association. One big undertaking
the association has undertaken this
year is to raise twelve hundred dol
lars. Five hundred is to go towards
building a cottage at Blue Ridge and
the remainder is for the support of

NOT TOO LATE FOR GARDENS.
Some Timely Hints FOR Those Who
Have Not Yet Planted.

Clemson College. Oct. 19.-'The
winter garden, of course, should now
be on the way" says c. F. Niven, as
sistant horticulturist of Clemson COL
lege. However, questions are COM
ing in every day from gardeners want
ing to know what they can do now
in order to have winter greens.
would advise those VINO have not al
ready put their gardens in to do so
at once. To delay few days more
means poor support from the garden
during the winter. Fairly good re-
suits can yet be obtained" Prof.
Niven gives the following sugges-
tions to those who are late with their
gardens:
spinach-sow seed in shallow
drills after soil has been thoroughly
pulverized. Before covering seed,
run wheelbarrow in drill in order to
press the dirt firmly about the seed.
Cover with about a half inch of fine
earth.
Turnips-Sow "Seventops" for
greens. This is the best variety to
plant at this season. Though not de-
sirable for early planting, if sown
now it will produce a very good crop
of greens.
Rape-"Dwarf Essex" This is
usually sown for pasturage, but is
quite often used as a salad. Sow in
drills or broadcast.
Kale-"Curled Emerald Isle y
Kale at this season will do fairly we'll.
Sow in drills, as for spinach. turnips,
etc.
Onions-''White Pearl Sets now
will be ready for use in the early
spring. Prepare the soil as describ-
ed for other seed. Open out drills
two feet apart, placing sets four
inches apart in drill. Cover with
about an inch of fine earth.
Owing to the lateness of the sea-
son, it will be necessary to produce
quick growth with all the vegeta-
bles planted now. In view of this
the soil should be made very fertile.
Work in liberal supply of stable ma
nure before planting. An application
of high grade fertilizer will also
help materially.

HOSTILITIES ENDED.
Rebel Chief Says He is Willing to
Support Government.

Washington. Oct. 19.--Gen. Villa
has informed the United States gov
ernment that, unless something un-
fortunate occurs, hostilities in Mex
leo are at an. end and that he will
support any provisional government
formed by the national convention at
Aguas Calientes.
Villa said he would not accept Gen.
Carranza as provisional president,
but was satisfied he would not be
chosen. 1t generally is understood
Carranza does not desire to be pro-
visional president, wishing to be free
to enter the political race at the
succeeding election.
Latest state departaent reports de-
scribe in detail the visit last Satur-
day of Villa to the convention at
Aguas Calientes. When he arrived
suspicious were awakened as to his
purposes, but when he addressed the
convention all doubt was removed.
He said he came to pledge by oath
his support to the acts of the con-
vention so that no one could ever
say he was unpatriotic.
Villa was received with storms of
applause. Later he embraced Gen.
Obregon, over whom Villas break
with Carranza occurred. He then
wrote his name on the Mexican flag
and kissed the banner, pledging
again to abide by the decisions of
the convention.
American Consular Agent Caroth-
ers reported that Villas visit has pro-
duced a profound impression on the
delegates. Villas pledge is taken to
mean he has withdrawn his original
demand that no military man be CIV
en- the provisional presidency. The
prevalent belief here is that Gen. An
tonia Villareal will be selected.
The convention is awaiting the ar
rival of delegates from Gen. Zapata,
and it is reported here that the south
ern chief himself may attend the as
sembly.
Details of Carranza's decree vacat-
ing mining concessions granted by
Gen. Huerta reached the state de-
partment today. The instrument in
validates acts of the Huerta govern
ment between February 10. 1913, to
August Is, 1914. AS matter of
equity all interested persons are
granted sixty days from September
8 to apply for new titles, in default
of which the land will be considered
as free to appropriation by any in
tereSted person.

OPEN CANAL IN TEN DAYS.
Slide in CuIebra Cut Not as Serious
as at First Thought.

Panama, October 16.-Col. George
w. Goethals, governor of the Pana-
ma Canal Zone, tonight said it would
be ten days before the canal would
again be ready for traffic, which has
been suspended as result Of the
landslide on the west side of the
waterway north of Gold Hill Wednes-
day night.
The colonel also said that he would
have the channel ready for thirty
foot draft ships by October 81, bar
ring accidents. 1t is planned by
then to have the channel one hun
dred feet wide and thirty feet deep
along the west bank, where the chan
mel was least affected. In that Sec
ton there is an average depth OF
twenty feet.
The slide was not as serious as at
first reported, although it will require
many months of constant dredging
to regain the full width of three hun
dred feet and the depth Of forty-five
feet.
Capt. Hugh Rodman, superintend-
ent of transportation of the Panama
Canal, already is preparing to put
the maximum number of ships
through on the first day the water
way is passable. There are now
fourteen ships anchored at the termi-
nal points and others are coming.

PHILIPPINE BILL PASSES HOUSE
Will Not Be Considered in the Senate
This Session.

Washington, October 1.-THE
Jones Philippine bill, which declares
the purpose of the U1ited States to
recognize the independence Of the
islands "as soon as a stable govern
ment can be established there" pass
ed the house late.today by vote of
211 to 50. 1t will not be considered
in the senate at this session of con-
gress.
Five Republicans, Representatives
Cooper, Davis, Dillon, Griest and Rog-
ers; four Progressives, Representa-
tives Falconer, Chandler, Rupley and
Thompson, Of Illinois, and Repre-
sentative Farr, Progressive-Republi-
can. voted with the solid Democratic
membership for the bill. Speaker
Clark also had his vote recorded for
the measure Representative Bran.
of Washington, Progressive, voted
against it.
Uncle Sans Policy.
The bill declares the policy of the
United States on recognition Of the
independence of the islands in the
preamble and makes both branches
of the Philippine legislature elective
by the Filipino people, fixing the
term of Office of Philippine senators
and the resident commissioner Of the
Philippines in congress at six years.
while representatives shall serve
three years.
The purpose of the measure Is de-
declared in the preamble to enlarge
the self-government of the Filipinos,
to define the nature Of the relation
between the United States and the
islands. to give qualified veto to the
government general and absolute
veto power to the president Of the
United States over acts Of the Philip
pine legislature.
All efforts to amend the principles
of the bill failed. Republican oppo-
nents charged that it was unwise and
misleading to the Filipino people.
An effort of the minority to en-
graft upon its provisions for woman
suffrage and prohibition failed. At
tempts to secure the naturalization OF
tie islands by International agree
ment pending independence and pro-
rosals to altar the salary of the gov
ernor general, fixed in the bill at
$4,000 a year. were fruitless.

Steel Ties.

Steel ties are coming into use IN
this country. Steel ties firmly fixed
in concrete roadbeds have long been
employed by the steam and electric
railroads of Europe. They have been
found to be much more durable and
much less expensive than the use of
wooden ties with. their constant re-
newal. According to European econ
omy, it was waste of natures gifts
continually to harvest forests for the
manufacture of short-lived track un-
derpinning when the steel tie, pro-
tected by concrete, meant perma-
nent construction. Apparently. Amer
lean railway men are beginning to
favor the use of the steel products.
The recent construction of 400
feet Of double track in small Ohio
city makes use of the steel tie and
the concrete bedding. One objection
which has been raised in this country
against employment of such railway
track structures has been that they
do not allow trains to ride as smooth
ly as do the wood-tie tracks. Eu-
ropean railway travel is cited in sup
port of this assertion. While the
European cars do not ride as smooth
ly as those operated in this country,
perhaps, l. must be remembered that
they are of far lighter construction
than the American cars, and, so,
more subject to jars and swayings.
