Afternoon Session.
At opening of the afternoon ses-
sion it was announced no evening
session would be held until Friday.
Judge Crump stated he would con-
clude with all but one of his wit
nesses at the afternoon session.
Judge Lindley said he would endea-
vor to conclude with his witnesses
Friday night.
! William N. McGill was called and
examined by Attorney Quayle, for
the defense. Mr.. McGill was pres
ent at the meeting of the citizens
with the county commissioners, to
discuss the franchise question. About
100 were present. 1t was a repre-
sentative assembly. The object was
to have the road changed from Ault-
man to Garden street. The question
of a passenger depot was also dis
cussed. Witness made an offer OF
about 195 by 1S5 feet of ground
back of the Graham Mercantile com
panys lot for a passenger depot
During the meeting the matter OF
freight depot came up. The general
impression was that passenger de-
pot was what was wanted, and the
matter of getting a freight depot was
abandoned. 1t had not caused much
discussion, as feeling seemed to be
that there was not room for freight
depot site. Several present said they
did not want the side tracks in town

and voted down at once?'
Witness said he did not recall thai
it was voted down, but it was gen
orally objected to. A motion was
put but objected to on the grounc
that it was a commissioners meeting
and not a citizens meeting. The cit
liens were present by invitation. MI
Grant assumed leadership of the peo
pie and had considerable to say
Witness could not recall that the cit
izens took vote on the matter.

Substantially so, yes, sir Wit

p. B. McCracken, a civil engineer
was called by the complainants.
Have you made examination in
the vicinity of the passenger depot
with a view of determining the feast
bility of freight depot and trackage
at that point?

HOUSE CLEANING IN FALL.
Cellar is One important Point to Be
Considered.

The house does o get so dirty
during the summer that a general up.
heaval is necessary for fall house
cleaning, though there is one place
where the greatest attention must be
given, and that is in the cellar. Damp
days, together with the decaying vego
tables and fruits stored in the cellar
tain to accumulate, makes 1t really
necessary to hang up a red light in
that apartment unless the cellar Is
properly cleaned during the fall.
Often the %cleanest house will have
a cellar in the most dlsreputable con.
dition with spoiled fruits, vegetables
and the like, making 1t a hotbed Of
diseases. Have the cellar walls swept
and literally w~hitewashed, clean the
floor and sprinkle with liiSe. Every
box. cupboard and boarding place
should be thoroughly cleaned with hot
water and soap, II there is any per.
ceptible dampness, the cellar should
be aired, II possible, and often this
can be overcome by burning a small
gas or oil stove in the cellar for one
day. No difference how nicely one
may prepare canned fruits and pre-.
serves, If the cellar is in a damp con.
dition everything Will mold and In
many cases sour and spoil. One days
work, even though It be arduous la.
Dor, will save the summers work
represented in the canned fruits, iel.
lies, etc.

TABLE DELEGATES
RECIPES FOR BOTH NEW AND
OLD DISHES.
To Prepare unfermented Grape
Juice-canned Grape Juice with
Sugar-Raisine Marmalade Is
an Idea from France.

Unfermented Grape Juice.-Wasn

rejecting all that are soft. Put in a
stone jar and place this In a boiler,
with cold water TO nearly the depth
OF the jar. with a wooden spoon crush
lightly when they begin to cook, at the
same time pushing the grapes from
the top of the jar toward the bottom.
Cook about two hours or until the
grapes are all softened. Then pour
into a large bag to drain. Do not press
or zoUeeze or the Juice will be cloudy.
Have ready perfectly clean and well
sterilized bottles with the patent
china or metal tops. II you do not
have these, be sure your corks are
new, soaking them first in cold water
so they can be pressed in tightly. Re.
heat the juice to the boiling point,
cook steadily half an hour, removing
the scum as It rises to the surface.
Turn into the hot bottles and seal

Canned Grape Juice With Sugar

little cold water, but not enough to
cover. Cook slowly until the skins
break, MASKING and stirring from time
TO time with a wooden spoon. When
softened and at the boiling point, pour
into a new coarse jelly bag to drain.
Measure the juice and to each quart
allow a quartcrpound graduated
sugar. Boil again four minutes, turn
into hot sterilized bottles and seal
while hot.
Raisine.-To make this famous
French marmalade allow an equal
weight of grapes, cook in a little water
until soft, then press through a col
ander to remove the seeds. Add the
pears, cored and sliced, and simmer
until thick, stirring almost constant
~. When thick, sweeten to taste, scald,
strain through a colander and can.
Grape ReInh.-Pick from the stems
seven pounds of grapes. rather under.
ripe, and put the skins in a preserving
kettle over the fire with just enough
water to prevent their burning. Place
the pulp In another kettle and cook un.
I'll the seeds loosen. Press through a
sieve and add to the skins with a
half pint of vinegar, three pounds of
sugar and a t%easpoonful each cloves,
allspice and cinnamon. Boil until
thick. This Is fine to serve with game
or roast meats.

HELPING THE TRUSTS.
Systems That Are Opposed to the
Welfare Of the Masses.

Nearly a century ago, Disraeli, the
elder In his essay on gaming and
gambling, wrote: The savage and the
civilized. the illiterate and the learn.
ed, are alike captivated by the hope
of accumulating wealth without the
labors OF industry" In this saying the
great statesman and writer sounded
the keynote of much of the woes met
with In life. 1t Is the desire to secure
wealth without labor, TO gain some.
thing for nothing, that causes many to
go to their graves 'unwept, unhonored
and unsung."
The man who gleefully sings Make
a few dollars earn you a living" will
be sure TO find many people ready to
believe him. They will take a
chance anyway, and the gullible are
so numerous that the promoter really
succeeds In accommodating wealth
without the labors of industry" but
the others-his victims-generally
fail.
During the past few years one large
concern that has for long been drain.
ing the rural districts OF surplus
wealth, has built a city of its own,
and has erected buildings for the &C.
c~ommodation of 1000 people. This
concern does not draw a cent OF trade
from the people Of the city wherein It
is located. All its wealth and the
by which 1t built up its "own
city" has been contributed by people
scattered throughout the country.
How few there are who think that
when they send money to this great
nee for supplies that might as
well be bought In their home town,
that they are helping to deal a death.
blow to the place they call home? Yet
such is the fact. Every dollar sent
to the large city, assists In the build.
ing up Of greater trusts, and great.
er combinations, that seek to control
the manufacturing, the mercantile
business, and as well the prices OF
labor and all the products of the work,
shop and the farm. 1t means bust.
oligarchy to which the common
people should not submit.

rru..1ersft."

Ono OF the practices of the trusts in
the marketing Of their products, is
the prize schemes. In order to induce
the to use their various
brands Of goods, attractive offers are
made to exchange different articles
for certificates and coupons. But 1t
is always intended that the consum-
ers pay the freight" Generally
where premiums are offered with
weight, or a few cents more charged
than goods OF like kind sell for. Thus
1t can be seen how the premiums
given are paid for by the consumer,
and he pays a high price for the
prizes he draws. Goods that r
given away with purchases cost
money, Their cost does not come out
of the pockets of the manufacturers,
but out Of the purses OF the people
who use the goods. IL one desires 10
buy sugar, he does not care to pay
for the scoop or shovel. He wants
sugar, and at the lowest price con-
sistent. He knows that II he takes
the scoop or the shovel some one
pays the bill. Various systems of
premium giving have been devised.
Some call for a certain number of
coupons of some sort, and so much
cash, or some article Just for the
coupons alone. Where cash is re.
Quired along with coupons there is
apparently an additional profit in the
Inal auiln frDY, that ..
goods with which coupons are given.
1t is well to buy goods on their merits
alone. Buy what you want and at
the right price. and you will be ahead
of the premium plan.
