Flower Beds
Almost anybody likes flowers,
whether he is willing to acknowledge
his liking or not. Flowers in the
wrong place or skimply planting
make a poor impression, but flower*
in mass, quantities of them as one
sees them by the roadside, or in an
old field, or in the woods, nature’s
arrangement cannot fail to make a
good impression.
The front yard is no place for a
flower bed. The simplicity of a
clear unbroken lawn always makes
for beauty. The sweep of u large
lawn is restful, cool and inviting.
The smaller the lawn, the greater
thp reason, for keeping it unbroken.
It may be formal with straight walk
and neat edging, or with border and
a formal planting at the base of the
house, but there is never an excuse
for breaking it with the flower beds
or specimen shrubs except one’s
own personal taste, and, since the
front of the house is necessarily
public, one should keep to the pri
vacy of the rear or side yard for the
expression of one’s personal likes.
The flower garden in the back or
side yard may need to be formal, be
cause of little room. It may be laid
out in any design one chooses and
planted to the flowers one likes, in
any combinations. In the formal
garden, one may use sheared shrubs,
but they are out of the place in the
front yard. Many a pretty group is
spoiled because the individual plants
that compose it are picked out by
being sheared to some unnatural
shape, thus calling attention to the
individual, rather than the mass, of
•which each plant is only a party.
Nature is lavish with the flowers,
scattering informally without thought
t)f color or size of growth, yet never
making mistakes in her combinations.
Something of the natural may be
attained, even in the smallest yard,
by arranging the flowers along the
border. Flowers show to best ad
vantage against a back ground of
some sort. That may be a fence or
a building, but if it be a living back
ground of trees or shrubs, so much
the better. The foilage of the woody
plants contracts favorably in tex
ture and color with the flowers and
foilage of the herbaceous plants,
making a pleasing effect that is not
gained otherwise. A well trimmed
grass plot in the back yard, sur
rounded by a screen of shrubs lined
with beds of flowers affords privacy
and seclusion, a delightful place for
quiet reading or an afternoon tea or
an evening party, a place where one
may dig and plant and weed un
molested and unseen by the passer
by.
There are plenty of native flowers
that are quite the equal of expen
sive sxotics. Some of them may be
weeds in the field, but in the border
they are not, and each fills its place
satisfactorily. It is surprising how
these wild things respohd to good
care, developing luxuriant foilage,
larger blossoms and deeper colors.
The wild flowers i?iay be taken
up and re-set at any time with reson
able success, if one is careful to get
the roots and to protect them from
drying. Then it is best to cut the
tops to prevent too great a loss of
moisture. ,
Flowers may be grouped accord
ing to size or color if one wishes.
Tall growing plants may be at the
back or may stand out to emphasize
some feature. Small plants rtiay be
bedded in masses or may nestle
under the taller ones, making a
fringe about their feet. If by
reason of one’s enthusiasm the
border becomes so deep that all
parts cannot be reached easily from
the grass plot, stepping stones may
be laid to suit the convenience of
the gardener.
The listed textile mills in the
eight southern states installed an
additional 322,768 spindles during
the past year, raising the total num
ber of spindles for the 1,289 mills to
49,928,679, according to figures just
released by the Textile Bulletin,
trade magazine. South Carolina
showed an increase of 196,781 spin
dles in 1934. North Carolina rank
ed second in the gain in spindles
during the year with 70,918, while
Georgia was third with an increase
of 61,008 spindles. South Carolina
with 5,552,012 spindles in jJace was
second to North Carolina in this in
stance, Massachusetts was third and
Georgia ranked fourth.

THE CCC CAMPS ONE OF THE
PRESIDENT S WISEST PROJECTS
Occasionally we hoar someone
criticizing the establishment of the
Civilian Conservation Camps. We
are convinced that such criticisms
are from those already biased against
the administration and unwilling to
accord credit for any acts it may
do; or from those who have failed to
give due consideration and do not
realize the purpose of these camps
nor the real work they are accom
plishing.
It is a fact that at the beginning
of the year 1933 this country was
dangerously near a revolution, a
Condition realized by political lead
ers and sedulously concealed by the
metropolitan newspapers. The as
sembling of the ex-world war soldiers
in Washington the year before was
but one of the symptoms of the un
rest that existed throughout the
Country from the Atlantic
to the Rio Grande.
The segregation of these unem
ployed young men into camps was
not merely a great humanitarian
movement; it was all this in its
broadest and best sense; but it was
more, it was a wise and far sighted
movement in organizing the nucleus
of a trained soldiery stationed at
strategic centers throughout the
country ready for any emergency
that might arise.
These young men were chosen
with the same care that an army
would be drafted in so far as physi
cal fitness goes. Their officers and
leaders were trained men, who knew
how to drill and season them for the
duties.
Their organization, caused no mis
leading excitement, rather it tended
to soothe growing unrest among the
most easily aroused members of
society, young men, who had no
jobs.
A wiser movement could not have
been conceived nor put in action at
that time nor one fraught with
greater possibilities and responsi
bilities. We cannot commend too
highly this movement of the presi
dent.—Carroll Times.
HARTWELL SUN WRITER ON
REPEAL
The wet papers are telling us a
bout how much is coming jnto tht
treasuries of the various states as
revenue for the liquor sold; but they
say little about the homes and lives
blighted, wives made widows, chil
dren orphaned, murders and other
crimes committed as the direct re
sult of legalized liquor. Boake Car
ter, spokesman for Philco radio, was
for the repeal of the 18th amend
ment. And yet he told us some
weeks ago that since repeal deaths
from drunken driving had increased
24 per cent to those in cars, and to
pedestrians the increase was 55 per
cent. That is, strong testimony from
a repealist. However, he does not
seem to blame repeal. The increas
ed danger concerned us all; for
whether we own or ride in cars our
selves or not, we all have friends
who do, and we are interested for
them. What will Georgia do? Shall
we surrender to the liquor crowd
and the lawless element, all for the
sake of saving a little in taxes? The
question is before us.
Driving in with her husband to at

9 o’clock Saturday morning when the

overturned by another car about two
miles south of Hapeville. Mr. Rea

slightly.

Little Girl Recovering From
Strange Operation
One of the most remarkable re
sults of the progress of medical
science is the recovery of Alyce
Jane McHenry, u ten-year-old girl of
Omaha, Nebraska, who was recently
operated upon at a hospital in hall
River, Mass., for an “upside down”
stomach. She was carried by plane
from her Western home to the hos
pital in the Fast, and the “upside
down” stomach was set right in a
prolonged operation of peculiar dif
ficulty by Dr. P. E. Truesdale, a
noted surgeon.
When she was placed on the op
erating table, Dr. Truesdale, who
had performed similar operations
successfully, had expected to let the
organs move slowly and gently down
from the chest to the almost empty
abdomen.
They were born in the wrong
place.
Four ribs were cut and removed.
Through this opening it was seen
that the chest space o;i the left side
contained not only the lung, which
is normally there, but also the stom
ach, the small intestines, the appen
dix all the large intestines, includ
ing the appendix except for a dis
tance of two feet the so-called de
scending portion of the large intes
tine. The spleen was also in the
chest.
Because of the presence of these
abdonimal organs in the chest the
left lung was shiveled and collapsed
and the heart was shifted in its po
sition from the left over toward the
right side.
The second phase of the operation
consisted in the reduction of the
hernia. This meant, first, freeing
the space through which the organs
had entered the chest wall from the
adhesions there formed. Next, the
other adhesions of the small and
large intestines to the lung and the
heart covering were severed.
The surgeon, Dr. Philemon E.
Trusedale, was now in a position to
replace the displaced organs in the
abdominal cavity.
The third step of the operation
consisted in clearing the opening in
the diaphragm of all the surround
ings adhesions. The opening was
then closed by stitching the edges to
gether along its entire length.
This opening extended half through
the thickness of the body, running
from the center to the chest wall
on the left side. The opening was
five inches in length and measured
three inches wide.
The whole nation has awaited the
result of the operation, and the
crisis seems to have been passed.
The little girl is regaining strength
and appetite. When told that she
could have chicken she said “If 1
could only take a wing in my fist
and eat it I would think I really was
having chicken.” She had the wing,
just as she wished, and the little hu
man interest story of her dinner was
telegraphed to every state and pro
voked smiles from millions of un
known friends.
Thousands of letters and gifts
from strangers coming to a hospital
bed on which a little girl is recover
ing from one of the strangest, of
surgical operations.

Constipated?
The doctors say . . .
Use liquid treatment
Here is the soundest advice anyone
can give on the subject of laxatives.
It is based on medical opinion. We
want you to have the benefit of this
information no matter what laxative
you may buy:
The secret of real relief from consti
pation is reduced dosage. You can’t
regulate the bowels unless you can
regulate the help you give them. That
is why doctors use a liquid laxative;
the dose can be measured to a drop.
Avoid laxatives that you can’t cut
down in dosage; especially those that
•eem to require larger doses than
when you began their use.
Under the doctor's care, you usual
ly get a liquid laxative. The right
liquid laxative gives the right kind
of help, and the right amount of
help. Smaller and smaller doses —
until you don’t need any.
The liquid laxative generally used
is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It
contains senna and cascara —natural
laxatives that form no habit.
