BACK YARD GARDENS.

The unattractivc, IL not absolutely
unsightly, yard adjoining the back of
the dwelling house was in days gone by,
almost a necessity. Often IL was separ-
ated from the lawn or garden with
board fence or lattice. But one thing
that often made the back yard unat-
tractive was that we simply took 1t for
granted that II was bound to be so. So
we let rubbish accumulate there, we
kept old wooden boxes there for rub
bsh. garbage cans were i'm a conspicu-
GUS place There were paths made of
old oyster shells or ashes and ragged
bits of rope hung up for kitchen towels
to dry on. Old mops and discarded
brooms were rclcgatcd to the kitchen
porch or back yard and often a rickety
chair or table stood somewhere near
the back door.
In the modern house, whether II is a
country house. farm house. suburban
house or city house, there is no ex-
cuse for tho unit v back yard IL is not
expensive TO have cement walk laid
up TO tn back porch and If possible
running to the cellar entrance. Usually
il is possible to have a lattice under tho
back porch fastened on hinges and to
keep the garbage cans always we'll
cover under there. II is even pos
sible to eliminate the clothes line and
clothes pole entirely. leaving more space
for garden. Clothes reels though rather
expensive. are n great convenience.
They may hc placed fairly near tho
laundry door = that you do not have TO
go far to hang out the clothes and so
arranged that you can stand on cement
or brick platform while you hang out
the clothes.
For tools and garden implements that
might accumulate around the garden. II
is a good plan to have a wooden box get
in an inconspiCuous place at the back
Of the house This should be painted
to match the house and of course should
be supplied with n good cover SO that II
need not bo left open.

A headline in The State says that
the penitentiary has plenty of food
stuff on hand for the use of the insti-
tuition. That is entirely right and
good. There is no reason why the
state farms should not raise plenty
food, and when we see the county
chain gang wagons going out from
town loaded with hay and corn and
other things to eat we have often
asked why it is the county does not
raise all these supplies on the county
farm. If we are not mistaken the
county owns couple hundred acres
Of land and it would seem that this
amount of land should produce a
sufficient amount of food to feed the
& seonSicts and the mules Of the coun.
e:ty. Better to raise the food with the
convict labor than to buy it.
There is another statement in the
report Of the penitentiary that show.
aighty bad judgment on the part oi
Some one. About one thousand bales
OF cotton of the crops of 1919 and
1890 are said to, be on hand. 1t wa:

pensentiary could have gotten AZ
cents for some of this cotton, and i
should have been sold.

In going over to the negro school

very bad mudholes and the ground
being partly frozen and partly not
we could not tell how the mud was,

Governor Cooper in his inaugural
address devotes the greater portion Of
it to education and strongly recon-
mends that the amount asked for the
ruraa schools BY the state department
Of education BE granted. He is cor
rect. We sean afford TO cut on many
sof the iteEls but it would be very fat
al to the schools of the state, espec-
tally the rural schools, to cut this
item. IT win take two million dollars
to carry out the acts of the legisla-
ture, and these acts have laid down
certain conditions which have been
met by the people in the voting OF
special taxes for the maintenance OF
schools, and if the legislature should
fail to keep the faith many, Of the ru-
raj schools will be unable to run more
than four or five months.
It will take pretty good sum, but
1t should be remembered that this
tax is different from any other tax
that is levied, because it is for the
tuition aad education Of the boys and
girls Of South Carolina, and il all the
members Of the legislature could and
would just take few trips into the
rural dist cts with the county super
intendents of education we do not
believe there would be vote against
this item.
The governor agrees so heartily
with us and his views on the subject
are so sound that we will print the
address in full in the next issue, and

of the governor, who is more than any

You will pardon me for being per-
sonal, but as this is sort Of personal
retrospect I may be allowed to men
ton that in, 1887, on March Z, in
partnership with Mr.. William P.
Houseal we bought The Herald and
News from Mr.. A. C.:Jones and that
partnership lasted fer several years,
and if my mathematics is not incor-
rect il has been or soon will be thirty
four. years since that took place, anu
I have been continuously and consec-
utively connected with the paper all
the years since that date as it's editor.
During the time Of this partnership
we published the Annals Of Newber-
ry and did many things that were
not profitable financially to US, but
as I see it, a good service to the
county and state. Of course this
sounds Ike ancient history to many Of
the present generation, and especial
ly that I succeeded as the owner (aS
least nominally) of the printing busi-
ness. Just a few days ago a letter
came to Newberry addressed to Aual
and Houseal publishers and book
binders, and it was returned to the
writer because the postofice knew
of no such firm in Newberry, and OF
course did not know that 1 was sue
cessor to the business, Or it could
have been delivered to me. 1t was
simply an inquiry about one Of the
several publications that we got out
at financial loss. ! just mention this
to show how soon We are forgot in
this age. So far as I know ] am the
only one by the name who ever had
so little sense as to go into the coun-
try newspaper business, and yet 90
not regret it, because l feel that |
have been able to render service to
the people, and then l just like the
work. Of course my boys have natur-
ally drifted into it, and l hope they
may be able not only to serve, but
to get more financial remuneration
than 1 have. They are better prepar-
ed and equipped than I. was. or am,
and all they need is the sticking
plaster.
I remember, as if it were but yes
terday, when Mr.. Houseal proposed
that we buy The Herald and News,
and now I never had cent and did
Mt know how I was going to buy any
thing, but with the help of friends l
was able to raise my part of the cash
| payment, and have Struggled all the
years, and had many ups and downs.
was just in the act of accepting an
offer I had received from Florence
when l got Mr.. Houseal's proposition.

who will not be interested in the read
ing, bu: I opine there are others who
will be, and it is well sometimes to
take retrospect. Though the files OF
