Canned Plums.-To can plums to
perfection, choose good quality fruit,
pick over carefully, then weigh, and
for each quart jar to be put up allow
3 ounces of sugar. TO prepare the
syrup, first fill one jar with the plums
pour in all the water it will hold. and
then pour out again into a measuring
cup. For each twelve jars to be put
up allow thirteen equal quantities of
water, and put them in the preserving
kettle with the sugar. Stir until thor
oughly dissolved. Pack the jars with
the fruit. and pour in syrup to the
shoulders of each. then cover loosely
with the lids. Lay wooden Stats across
the bottom of a large boiler and on
these stand the jars. Pour the re-
mainder of the syrup into a saucepan,
and stand over the fire to boil. Pour
cold water into the boiler up to the
shoulders of the Jars, then cover and
stand over the fire. Note the time at
which the water begins to boil. Let It
boil for ten minutes. then remove the
boiler from the fire. Lift out each
jar, and fill with the surplus syrup

one with a needle around the stem.
To each pounds of fruit allow 4
pounds of light brown sugar, l quart
of vinegar and l cupful of whole
spices-stick cinnamon, cassia buds,
allspice and cloves, using somewhat
less of the cloves than the other in
gradients. Mix the spices in a bag
and throw them into the vinegar. Add
the sugar and place over the fire. Heat
slowly to the boiling point, then skim
carefully. and throw in the fruit. Cook
for ten minutes, or until the plums are
tender Then skim them out and pack

of the abiest teachers of the State

work and a large attendance is antici-

A special feature of this school
will be series of addresses by some
of the most effective platform speak
ers available and some work will be
done looking to the educational cam
paign which has been planned for
the summer. A meeting of County
Superintendents and other campaign
ers will be held during the session of
the summer school.
In addition to the regular courses
of work by the teacher students,
there will be lectures intended for
such students as desire some recrea-
tion as we'll as work. Quite a num-
Der of teachers, after a hard years
work do not desire regular study,
hence this arrangement.
A prospectus, giving full announce
ments, will be issued as soon as
possible from the Office of Supt. of
Education. County Boards are
rapidly making recommendations as
to instructors for the various CJunty
Summer Schools and as soon as these
arrangements are perfected, the
schedules will be published.

Two convicts Qife sentence) escaped
from the stockade last week. They
have not been retaken as yet.
Mrs. Wingard, wife of Mr.. AM
brose Wingard, has been quite sick
for some time. We are pleased to
hear that she is better.
The health of The community is
generally pretty good. Some cases
Of whooping cough and las rippe are
reported.
Wheat in this section has improved
some and we heard knowing farmer
say that it would average about forty
per cent. of crop. Oats is a failure.
Several of our farmers have gone
into the tobacco business this year.
We hear that large acreage has
been set out.
Widowers still on the rampage but
none of them have "made mash" as
yet. They use to move in pairs
but have separated. Some are visiting
in the east, soms west, some south
and one went north short time ago.
When he left he was, or seemed to
be, down in the mouth. he has re-
turned more jubilant and now wears
pleasant smiles.

The State Summer School for
Teachers will be held at Winthrop
College, Rock Hill, S. c., from June

School Closing,
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 tQe EQlGOr OF CQe DlspaLcu'
Last Friday it was our privilege
to attend the closing exercises of the
Athens school, presided over by the
Rev. W. B. Fallaw. Quite a crowd
of well dressed and heslthy looking
people were or hand to enjoy the
day, which was day of merriment
for all.
The exercises in the morning were
devoted to recitationa, dialogues and
songs by the children of the school
and were heartily enjoyed by the large
audience. The pupils acquitted them
selves we'll ard reflected credit upon
their teacher, who is considered one
of our countys best teachers and is
beloved throughout that section for
his noble character. Many kind ex-
pressions we heard from the patrons
and this is an evidence of satisfac-
tory work.
The exercises of tie young folk
being finished, everybody we're in.
vited to partake of a bountiful din
ner, and if any one went away hun
cry, it was not occasioned by the
scarcity of good things to eat. It has
been our fortune to make many
trips through "O.d Lexington" and
man and beast have always been
treated sumptuously.
After dinner, q debate between
the young men and young Ia
dies came off, and both sides made
splendid arguments, which showed
careful preparation. This concluded
the exercises of the school.
Mr.. Fallaw then introduced Sena-
tor Sharpe, who made capital speech
on education, and gave the people OF
that district the wholesome advice to
vote an extra levy on themselves and
run a school nine months in the year
Congressman Lever was on hand
and it is self-evident fact, that 60
where you may in our county, he is
the favorite by great odds, regardless
of any others present. This is in no
wise a re election on any one but a
truth that none can gainsay. BE has
won the confidence and esteem OF
his people and they delight to do him
honor always. His speech was thor
oughly enjoyed and was a manly pre-
sentation of some great truths that
men and women and boys and girls
ought not only to know, but demon
strate in their lives.
This wound up the days program
and We left the place glad of having
been there and wishing for these peo
pie. who have always shown us every
kindness, all things that kind provi
dence Can bestow upon them.

on your streets handing out the red
meats and peanuts 5 a quart.
Well, little man, you tell John
