For the Flower Show.

The ladies In charge Of the Flower
Show are already at work preparing
for the Spring show which will be
held in February.
For the exchange plants are being
potted. The idea is to pot as many
plants as possible and to exchange
YOUR surplus of any kind with others
for some plant that you do not have.
This is u good idea and no doubt there
will be considerable swapping Of plants
at the next show.
1t is nor yet too late to SOW Sweet
Peas. The seed should be put from
t to 6 inc1es deep, giving some slight
protection. They will thus become
well rooted and will grow off ut the
first opening If spring and will yield
an abundance Of blooms.
The Narcissus makes q beautiful
flower, superior in the estimation OF
many. to the Chinese Lily, and it is
not vet too late to put out some OF
these.
The Hyancinths are among the first
flowers of Importance tG bloom in the
spring, and then there gre the beauti-
full Tulips and many others. Not all
of these may he available for the flow
er show, but they all make for the
beauty of the home ard it is hoped
many of our people will join in and
help make Cheraw a veritable flower
garden the coming spring.

flashes of flame have been seen play

volcano, Vesuvius, but the Inhabitants
of nearby vineyards thought that they
were merely the usual threatenings OF
the mountain. But late last night the
volcano began TO erupt, and the peo-

began to fee for their lives. Not on

hurried flight, but the towns and will
ages were deserted in very short time.
The roads were filled with fugitives
carrying their effects and this after.

WOOL EXPERT WILL
SPEAK THIS EVENING
w. 7. Rich VIII Tell of Practical
Methods Employed by
Australians

w. L. Rich, the Australian wool .x-
pert will deliver an address at the
Courthouse this evening to all who are
interested. The lecture will begin at

thority on the Australian system of
sheariis and CLASSIFYING wool He is
an interesting speaker and a master
OF his subject. He has been engaged
lor more than year in bringing TO
the attention OF western sheepmen the
desirability of introducing the AustraI.
ian method ip this country.
y few years ago J. L. Cosgrifr.
president of the Continental National
bank OF Salt Lake City, after an en-
haustive inquiry into why our west.
ern wools brought from 10 > cents
less pound than the Australian clip
IN the wool markets., discovered that
such difference in price was not due
so much TO difference in the quality of
the WOODS as II was To differences in
the way the clip was handled at the
shcarinG sheds and placed on the mar.
ket MI Coseriff imported Mr.. Rich
from Australia TO present TO the sheen
men OF the western states the details
of the Australian system. The result
is that growing interest has been
awakened, and very recently several
shearing sheds on the Australian plan
have been established in several west
ern states. At these sheds careful
accounts OF the cost of shearing and
the result have been kept: also the
result of the new method are COM
pared with that of the old have been
tabulated and are now available. II
has been found that the cost OF shear
ing Is somewhat less than under the
old system. due to greater efficiency
in the process. and that the classified
clip brought from 3 TO cents a pound
more than unclassified woods from
similar grades of sheep shown at the
same time and in the same locality.
Mr.. Richs itinerary includes the
principal cities of Nevada, where he
will deliver addresses to those inter.
