Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or, break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit Is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad-
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant-
ing patch in the spring and fall.

that he will break down occasionally and

THE NEW SIDEWALK,

We know a man in Abbeville, he
is a business man and a good one,
who knows how to collect accounts.
Not 80 long ago we sat in meeting
with him while the accounts due a
business concern were being dis
cussed by the gentlemen present.
One had one suggestion to make and
one another, but our man did not en-
ter much into the discussion. ,Occa-
sionally, however, a name would be
called which seemed to interest him,
and his comment in all such cases
was this,-"Twist."
If the, gentlemen or Greenville
street who are to give the new side
walk seem a little slow Gt seems to
be taken for granted that Mrs. Per-
rim has no objection to giving her
part of iD we would suggest to City
Council to "twist" a little, and then

County Treasurer jim Bradley and Sher-
iff Lyon had lively discussion Saturday
morning in the Treasurer's Office. They
do not think highly Of the modern meth
ods Of teaching schools. They say the
schools are nothing like those they at
tended, when boys living on Long Cane
Mr.. Bradley says that children learn moth
ing about geography whatever IN the
Graded schools these days. The conver-
sation drifted to the war, and to Ger.
many's resources, possessions, etc. The
Treasurer stated that the German Empe-
ror had plenty Of men to call out who
hadn't yet found out the war is going on
He thought there were at least three mil.
lion soldiers in the German province Of
Scandinavia, In South Africa. The Sheriff,
at once, denied his geography. He said
that Scandinavia was an island near Sicily,
and he could prove it. With that he
rushed out Of the Treasurer's Office into
his own to look at the beautifully bound
atlas he purchased from the petite book
agent who was last in these parts. After
looking Tor about an hour, he remarked to
W. W. Bradley, who was busy working on
his books, "I'll be d--if I can find KANT
chatlza anywhere in this geography"

while to set aside sums of money to
give their instructors special courses
during the vacations, and these in
structors are required to take the
courses in order to keep up; the doc
tors, the dentists, and even the min
listers must take courses of study from
year to year; the lawyer takes his all
the while, he attends his conventions
and bar associations; the engineers
and contractors have their conven-
tions and 60 to the cities to get the
latest thought in their lines; archi-
tects study the architecture Of every
|clime; bankers in the country 60 to
| the great metropolis from time TO
time to get wisdom. And the city
council should arrange for its street
builder to attend for few weeks
each year some school Of engineering
in order to learn street building. He
should be sent for a week or more to
the cities, where this work is going
ION all the while, in order to see it
done; or better still, why not let the
city employ some engineer during
the summer from a school Of engi-
neering to come here and take his
outing showing Mr.. johnson how to
do the work? We do uot believe it
will take any great amount Of study,
nor any great amount of practical de-
monstration to enable Mr.. johnson
to build as good streets as any en-
gineer in the country. In little
while he will be able to lay any kind
of pavement the city desires.
We advocate the building of these
streets by the city for number of Iea-
sons. 1t will be great deal cheaper,
the contractor will not be in copart-
nership with the engineer planning
the work, and then the work can be
done gradually, and added to from
time to time.
These ideas may be crude; there
may be those ON the council who
have better ideas. But we do know
that we should get out of "sleepy
hollow" We are spending too much
money for the accruing results. And
we need Mr.. johnson on the streets
all the while. Labor these days is
unsatisfactory enough even with the
best of supervision, especially the
kind of labor we employ in the South;
