How to Make Preserves and Pickles

How to Make Preserves and Pickles.
Never use tin or pewter spoon or q
tin skinner, as it imparts an unpleasant
flavor to the fruit. Always remove the
scum from your preserves while they are
boiling as quickly as 1t arises. The fol-
lowing recipes may be found very salts
factory:
TENNESSEE PEACH JAM.
Use half a pound of sugar to one
pound of fruit. Peel and remove the
stones from the fruit. Cut up in very
small pieces and mash thoroughly with
q wooden potato masher and cook for
an hour, stirring most of the time. Add
the sugar and cook another hour. Soft,
yellow peaches are good for this jam.
PEAR CHIPS.
To ten pounds of pears allow five
pounds of sugar, one-fourth OF pound
of Canton OF green ginger, and five
lemons. Core and peel the pears, and
cut them in small pieces; mix with them
the sugar and ginger and leave over
night. The next morning wash and dry
the lemons, cut them in pieces and take
out the seeds. Cook the mixture very
slowly for three hours.
PRESERVED OUNCES.
Peel and core the fruit, and cut into
slices. Place them in the preserving
kettle, with a little water about three
quarters of pint to five pounds OF
fruit, covering them with the parings of
the ounces, put the cover on the kettle
and allow the contents to simmer until
soft; then lift out the slices of the
ounces and run the juice through the
jelly bag or cloth. For every pint of
juice weigh out pound of sugar and
put both into the pan. Stir the juice
we'll, until the sugar is dissolved and it
begins to boil, then stop stirring and boil
the syrup for ten minutes more, clearing
off all the scum as it arises. Put in the
slices of ounce and simmer them in the
syrup until clear, which will take from
twenty minutes to half an hour. Lift
out the slices and place them in glass
jars. Allow the syrup to cool little
before pouring over the ounces. Tie
down the jars when cold.

Criminal Court.

FIRST DIVISION, Judge Samuel E. Weaver presiding:
 Jim Roberts alias "Windy Johnson" a white man, pleaded guilty in the first division of the criminal court yester- day to a charge of grand larceny.
 While on the stand Roberts gave Judge Weaver d brief account of the trials and tribulations of the life of the professional tramp. Roberts was arrested in this city many years ago on a charge of killing Perry Carpenter but was released after a preliminary hearing. Roberts stated on the stand yesterday that he was innocent of the charge, not being m the vicinity of the crime on the night of the murder.
 He said in regard to the crime for which he was being tried now that the clothes had been given to him by a fellow tramp. who stated that they were stolen in an- other state and would not get him into trouble in Alabama. He explained to the court that he was not morally guilty, but that he might be found so technically. Roberts has served term of five years in the state penitentiary of Tennessee, and says he was not contemplating any more trouble He alleged that the mis- representation of facts to him by Chicago Slim,' the fellow professional, was the cause of the whole trouble.
 Other cases were disposed of in the first division as follows:
 John Henry, convicted of burglary and grand larceny.
 Ed Ward, convicted Of assault with intent to murder.
 Bud Griffin and Johnnie James, con victed of grand larceny.

DIRECTORS WILL
 CONSIDER MATTER
STREET RAILWAY OFFICIALS WILL CONSIDER REQUEST OF EAST LAKE CITY COUNCIL TO SPRINKLE ITS TRACKS.

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company will take the matter of car sprinklers up and the board of direc- tors will decide as to the adyisability of securing sprinkling cars.
 The East Lake city council has passed a resolution requestion the Birmingham Railway. Light and power company to secure sprinklers and use them literally on the East Lake line.
 President Jemison said yesterday that the matter had not been taken up yet, but that the matter would be taken up.
 Sprinkling cars have not been successes, although they have been tried in many cities It has been found by the street car companies that they retarded travel to such an extent that the public ob- jected seriously to their use.
 In the places where they were tried they were soon taken off at the request of the public. One of the greatest incon- veniences was the matter of filling the cars. They require a great deal of water and 1t took so much time to fill the cars that they blocked travel In sprnk- ling the cars have to be run very slowly, and this also tends to delay travel.

POLITICAL LEADERS
 CONFER AT BLOUNT
JeIks, Bankhead, Jones Moore and Others Talk Things Over
MR. G0NER WASN'T THERE
Lieutenant Governor Cunningham Was Expected, But His Train Was Late. The Meeting Was Entirely ln-
 formal-ShrIners Picnic.

It leaked out yesterday that a num- Der of democratic political leaders got together Wednesday at Blount Springs and discussed the situation" In this state from every point of view.
 Among them were Governor Jelks, Con- gressman Bankhead, Jones G. Moore, ex- State Senator Horton of Greene and ex- State Senator Tayloe of Perry.
 Every one of them explained that the meeting was wholly accidental and quite devoid of political significance.
 Some said that they went up to Blount to drink the water there and enjoy days vacation in the country Others went to attend the Shriners picnic. 9th CTS still explained that they heard Sen ator Pettus was there and made the trip to pay the venerable statesman their respects and assure him that so long as he might desire he would be sup ported by them for reelection to the United States Senate.
 Senator Pettus was at Blount. He went up from Birmingham earlier in the
  there for the summer. Senator Pettus greeted all the Headers cordially, and took occasion to talk with theml about the crops, the weather, life on the wes- tern frontier fifty years ago and the relative merits of the Russian and Japa- nese armies. The senator could not, It is understood, be beguied into a political conference
 But there was a conference neverthe- less, and the conferees included the foregoing persons. Governor Jelks held the center of the stage. From time to time as the day wore on, his attention was engaged by Congressman Bankhead, Jones G. Moore, the former state sen- ators and some politicians of lesser note.
 Lieutenant Governor Cunningham was expected to visit Blount, but as his train was two hours late, he did not make the trip
 The personnel of the party led many lockers on to infer that the meeting was held in order to discuss the Conner band wagon.
 President Conner of the railroad com mission evidently was not among those expected at Blount. At any rate, he was not present. Frank s. White was also among the missing" D. J. Meadow of Morengo county. was conspicuous by his absence"
 But the Conner shadow heightened across the lawn as the days conference wore on. What to do with it-tnat was the problem.
