Orchard and Garden Notes.

Clemson College, October g.
In all sections of South Carolina,
cabbage plants for setting the spring
crop, may be grown from seed sown
in the open ground during early Oc-
tober. Seed planted at this time
should be sown in comparatively rich
soil, shallow burrows on the level,
and in we'll prepared seed-bed,
which furnishes soil protection of the
plants from severe weather. By draw
ing soil about the little plants near
the approach of a severe freeze, the
little stems are protected against
frost injury and the seedlings will be
come hardened, developing what is
commonly known as "fl ost-proof''
plants. In planting at this time, it is
essential that the seed-bed be pre-
pared on the level and that the seed
be intrenched in a medium shallow
drill.

HERBERT RAWLINSON, STAR
OF "COME THROUGH, NOW
"SMASHING THROUGH
At the Opera House Tonight.

At the Opera House Tonight.
Some poor fish who paid ten cents
to see Herbert Rawlinson in "Come
Through, at a small house, over
looking the gripping story and the
whirlwind fight, complained to the
manager that Rawlinson did not look
used up and had not mark on his
face in the final closeup. Now that
wouldn't faze some people, but the
manager wrote to Rawlinson and the
star got peeved.
81 want a story" he told Henry
McRae, "that shows that I'm being
placed in danger of my life. I've
taken all kinds Of chances in films
and been, hurt many times. But this
guy makes me sore. He wntas to
see me suffer. All right, it doesn't
hurt me any more if he sees it.
have to feel it either way. So give
me a story that has all the stunts
you ever saw"
The scenario department was then
searched and a story which was un-
der consideration for enlarging into
serial was shown to him. It was
called Smashing Through" All the
hero had to do by way Of exercise
was to figfht posse of cowboys who
were after another man, escape down
mine shaft with the girl in his arms
pursue the girl in an auto, permit it
to be wrecked by collision with an.
other car, steal a motorcycle and ride
like --------, jump from the motor
cycle going at full speed to a freight
train, and land on the trucks just
over the track, while the train is
making thirty miles an hour.
Of course, there were such minor
things as personal combats to do, but
these did not particularly interest the
star.
The stunts did, however, and that's
why the Universal is releasing
Smashing Through" as a Herbert
Rawlinson Special Attraction instead
of as a serial. 1t bears the same re-
lation to "Come Through" as the
word smashing does to the word
come. It will be seen in this city
first at the Opera House, where all
the Specials have been playing lately,
tonight, (Friday). Elmer Clifton is
responsible for the remarkable speed
and dash Of Smashing Through"
