PUT IN JAIL

Mr. R. T. Christian, Jr., held under
a charge of peonage in North Caro-
lima, was not put in Jail in Macon, t.
which place he was taken by United
States Marshal. Mr. Christian was
met at the depot in Macon by friends

it is stated would have been willing
to continue the bond if they had been
accessible at the time.
The charge against Mr.. Christian

been pending since 1906. 1t grew
out of the construction of the TalIu-
lah Falls Railway from the Georgia
line to Franklin, n c.. on which Mr.
Christian was a contractCr He
gave bond to appear before the
cour. for trial but was i'll on July
6, last, when the case was set, and

SHOOTING UP BIRDS IN
DEFIANCE OF LAW

''hTe birds are little yet but they
eat mighty good was the statement OF
resident of a neighboring county
in Americus yesterday, as he told OF
killing a dozen partridges a few days
ago. The state law makes no differ
ence with him.
And there are many others who
thus violate the game law.
1t will be just one month from
today ere partridges may be killed
legally, but at the present rate of
decimation there will be few coyies
left by that time.
Few counties hereabOut, Sumter
among them. have a game warden,

YANCEY CARTER MET
WITH A FROST
Nobody Turned Out to Meet
Him or to Hear Him.

Up in the Dakotas the thermometer
sometimes falls fifty degrees below
zero. That was about the tempera-
ture of the Independence political
thermometer yesterday when Col.
Yancey Carter struck town.
1t was cold, bitterly cold, Arc
tic pole cold atmosphere, that met
-the standard bearer of Hearstism in
Georgia. There was no cheering pop
ulace at the depot to meet him and
his manager, no committee of warm
friends to big him welcome, no band,
no flying banners, no nothing"
A street hack took the gubernator-
ial candidate and his manager to
the hotel. No one met them there
No one came to show them the way
to the speaking point, 50 far as can
be learned. Fortunately it was not
far from the hotel, so they discovered
it.
At eleven o'clock a blind mule, two
white men who had nothing else
to occupy their attention, small
negro boy, and space enough to ac-
commodate several hundred auditors,
were what awaited the coming of the
irrepressible Yancey.
But Yancey came not The mana
ger of the combination had evidently
secuted the territory, noticed that
the indications were for a frost OF
long duration and severity, and the
candidate received a telephathic
message from his faithful counselor
and travelling companion to remain
under cover
After waiting ten minutes the
crowd had been increased by a yell
low dog that evidently sought relief
from the mango, and decreased by
the departure of the small negro.
The great outpOuring of an outraged
people, confined to the two white
men, slowly disappeared in opposite
directions and Yancey Carters mass
meeting had become a matter of his
tory.
Candidate Carters manager hon
ored the Times-Recorder office with a
visit. He was quite a genial gentle
man. The meeting, he stated, would
not be held because the court was
in session. 1t was evidently feared
that the tumultous applause of the
assembled thousands would interfere
with the administration of justice.
Evidently there was no other place
in the city quite large enough to take
the crowd to and accordingly the
people of Americus were doomed to
cruel disappointment. Columbus.

didate's presence today and if adj

blithsomely sanguine. Both gentlemen

BACKGROUNDS. ARE
PRIME NECESSITIES

TN planning your garden, do not be-
gin by planning beds, but plan your
= background before you do anything
else. That does not mean that you are
to go into anything elaborate like land
scape gardening. 1t simply means that
you must decide where your garden is
to begin and end. A garden set hap
hazard in a plot of land without leading
up to anything may be very beautiful in
itself but it will be as incomplete as a
picture without a frame.
You may plan your garden to lead UP
to the house-that is. to be laid out so
that it's mass will concentrate against
the house. Then the building will fur
nish the background. If the walls are
stone or brick. and pretty in themselves.
they will make a frame for the garden
without any extra aid. If they are not
attractive. they may need a vine, some
tall shrubs or tall flowers like hollyhocks
or golden glow.
If your garden has TO tend away from
the house. and there is no pretty fence
or stone wall to give it natural bound
airy. you must plan a heavy, thick, tall
background. You can set young poplars
or catalpas. both quick growers ard good
foliage makers. Between them can
come forsythias. weigelias and deutZias

it in only in the place above ground
where it must be protected with extra
heavy LUMBER.
Glass frames for hotbeds six feet by
three can be purchased for about So
They may either be hinged to the pit
frame or simply laid over it, and so ar
ranged that they can be propped open
when necessary.
Fill the pit with perfectly fresh ma

be fresh enough to give off a lot of heat
by it's fermentation. That is all it is put

In less than twentyfour hours the ma
nure should be generating heat of 1OC
degrees at least. Then trample it down
till it fills only two-thirds of the pit
Cover it with about inches or a foot OF
fine, rich well-sifted soil. Bank earth or
manure around the outside of the pit and
you are ready to put in the seed.
In a cold frame the process is the same
except that no manure is put in to make
heat and the entire dependence is put on
the sun. Small cold frames can be i'm

pie addition of water. There are two
methods of egg desiccation in use, one
perfected by secretary of President
Lincoln, which consists of freeing eggs
from their shells, then drying the eggs
OH a drum or long running belt, the
temperature being kept as low as $50
degrees Fahrenheit, until all the watery
part of the egg has been evaporated.
The other process, that used at SYRIA
cuse, is known as the shot tower meth
cd. In this the egg mixture is carried
up to a tower, where 1t is forced through
screen and precipitated like yellow
SNOWFALL. The product is Immediately
soluble.
Digestibility Of Eggs.
Like an oyster, the nearer raw an egg
the more assimilable are both white and
yolk. If an egg must be eaten hard it
should boil for twenty minutes, as dur
ing that period it becomes mealy. Plenty
of water is a requisite for proper boil
ing, a pint being allowed for one egg
and a quart for six. The best boiled
eggs are those not really boiled at all
For soft boiled eggs, plunge in water at
about 100 degrees, cover and let stand
on the back of the stove for eight or
ten minutes. according to the size of
the eggs and the thickness of the shells.
For well cooked eggs which will not
be hard but of firm jelly-like con-
sistency, fifteen or twenty minutes of
the same temperature will be required.
For hard eggs to be used in stuffing,
garnshing or other purposes, where the
whites and yolks must be solid. twenty
minutes steady gentle boiling is essen
tial.
Fried Eggs.
Eggs fried in lard are an abomina
ton with a rank flavor that units
them for food. Fried in hutter they
may be delicate and delicious, but
they turn dark and unsightly. Olive
oil or ham or bacon fat drippings are
the best frying mediums for eggs. For
the former. put two tablespoonful sweet
oil in the frying pan and when smoking
hot break into it one or two fresh eggs.

LAYING OUT SMALL
VEGETABLE GARDENS

r. OR thorough convenience and dis
patch in working, wedding and
picking. the best way to lay out a
vegetable garden is in short rows. If the
rows are not more than eight feet long. 1t
will be possible to hoe and rake their
entire length from the borders, thus
avoiding the necessity and danger OF
stepping between the vegetables. This
convenience will induce you. too, to give
the plot a raking at odd moments, and
the more raking and hoeing you do be-
tween the rows. the better for the vege-
tables.
A most successful vegetable garden was
laid out on these lines last year. 1t was

right side of the egg over the yolk and
cook a quarter minute longer. Turn with
a cake turner and let rest a second on the
other side. when it is ready to slip off on
to hot plate. All dr4ppings from ham
or bacon should be saved in a separate
dish and kept on purpose for frying
eggs, as the flavor they impart is very
acceptable to most persons.
In Well-knoWn restaurant delicately
fried eggs are served in individual
baking dishes with little sausages and
tomato sauce. The tomato PURGE is
put in the bottom Of the dish, next
comes the fried egg. and around the
egg Is put a little sausage and a slice
of crisped bacon. This method of serv-
ing is known as Spanish eggs.
For the popular Mexican omelet cook
a tablespoonful minced onion in two
tablesp0onfuls olive oil or butter until a
light golden brown. Add two tablespoon
fuls flour and brown lightly, then pour
in two cupfuls strained tomato Juice.
Now before the mixture thickens drop in
eggs one at time, taking care not to
break the yolks. and poach, dipping UP
the sauce and pouring over the eggs as
they cook. AS soon as poached lift out
carefully and arrange on slices of buttered
toast. preferably cut in rounds, and pour
spoonful of the gravy over each egg.
Sprinkle salt pepper and a little fine
minced parsley on each egg and serve
at once.
French Omelet.
A fact not generally known is that
all omelets or scrambles are more deli
cate il made of cream. water or soup
stock rather than milk, as the caseine
of the milk tends to tougher tie albu-
men of the egg. In making French
omelet allow a tablespoonful water to
each egg. Sprinkle a little salt in the
omelet and pan and rub for a moment
with bit of paper to make perfectly
smooth. Now for four eggs put into the
pan tablespoonful butter. Break the
eggs into bowl, add four tablespoon
fuls water and beat lightly until whites
and yolks are slightly mingled. Season
with salt and pepper, white or the deli
cate paprika. and as soon as the butter

HOT AND COLD FRAMES
FOR SMALL GARDENS

TN even the smallest garden it pays to
have at least one hot frame and one
cold frame. During March and April
they offer an opportunity to start many
flowers and vegetables so that, when the
really warm weather settles in, the out
door garden can be started at once with
plants that have attained very consid-
cradle growth.
The frames should be on the south side
of house or wall, if possible. For the
hotbed dig square pit three feet by six
in area and two feet deep. Drive posts
in each corner, making those in the back
about three feet high and those In front
two and one-half feet high. 1t is best
but not absolutely necessary, to line the

twenty-eight feet long and eight feet
wide. The distance between the rows
was one and one-half feet. (This was not
enough.)
sowing being made in the second week in
June. The earth had. however, been
carefully prepared and was naturally
rich. and there was an abundance of
rain SO that the favoring circumstances
outweighed the lateness of sowing. Even
considering that the circumstances were
unusually favorable. however, the re-
suits were still remarkable.
This tiny garden was planted with
black-seeded Simpson lettuce. dwarf Tele-
phone peas. variety that grows with
out trellis work: bush beans. red radishes
of quite ordinary variety; common res
beetS from unbranded seed. a half-long
medium orange carrot. and about twenty
tomato plants crowded into the farthest
corner.
There were four rows of beans, four
rows of peas. four rows of lettuce, two
rows of carrots and two rows of beets
The beets were not planted till July,
and produced only few good enough
green's half dozen times for meals. Later
still some spinach was put in for an ex-
pertinent. but did not come up at all.
This left only fourteen eight-foot rows
actually in commission. These fourteen
rows. sowed from time to time as the first
crop was used furnished vegetables for
family of four until frost. There were
not enough peas. Six rows would have
been the minimum necessary to give all
the peas that were wanted. But the
other rows produced all the vegetables
that could be eaten. and. indeed, the
lettuce from the successive paintings was
little too plentiful. so that a small
quantity OF 1t was not used.
This year this vegetable garden has
been laid out thirty feet long and only
six feet wide. Alongside of 1t and run
ming in the same direction will be an
other of the same dimensions. These
short rows will make it easy to cultivate
the garden with hoe and rake without
stepping into it, The usefulness of this
is especially apparent to women who can
thus do a little work at any time without
bothering first to change their shoes, as
they must if they have to step into the
soft dirt between rows.
Last years garden had only one and
half feet between the rows. This year
the distance will be least two feet The
reason for this is that the head of
rake is little more than a foot long.
and one and half feet did not give room
enough to rake freely.
A little more than two feet will give this
room. The space will also make it nossi.
BILE for the hoe to work freely without
danger of hurting the roots or throwing
dirt on the tender leaves. which is
especially harmful in the case of lettuce
and beans.
