must not only allow for this discrepancy,

Several Good and Timely Recipes
for the Consideration of the
Housewife.

This is the preserving season and the
following receipts and information
should prove interesting for the thrifty
housewife.
See that youls cans are in perfect con
dition, that each cover fits and that you
have new rubbers Rubbers should not
be used the second season The cans
should be washed clean and well scalded
After this is done, place the cans to be
used at your hand with the necessary
utensile which are granite fruit fun
mel, small granite or aluminium dipper
silver knife, fork and teaspoon, a su-
gar-scoop, a quart bowl a pan, a granite
skinner, and a small pair of scales. All
of which are indispensable during the
process Of canning.
y large preserving kettle of either
granite or aluminium should be kept for
that purpose, and for nothing else dur
ing the year.
Never use defective cans, 4 can should
be free from flaw blister, else the
glass when subjected to heat may crum-
BILE off.
Scald the can Just before filling-ulace
the silver knife in the can, fill to over
flowing, withdraw the knife, scald at
once. The air follows the knife Fruit
seldom spols put up in this manner.
Select your fruit or vegetables with
great care, reject all that is imperfect
Large fruit such as pincapples, pears are
at their best when not fully ripe, but
should be put up as soon possible after
picking
AS the fruit cans cool after sealing
causing contraction of the glass turn
down several times until perfectly air
tight. Place top down over night.
y steel fork discolors the fruit so by
all means use silver aluminium.

White Fiend Convicted.

At a special term Of the Superior
Court for Barlow county, Georgia,
held at Gainesville, Jack Worth
ington, a white man, was convict
ed on Tuesday of criminal assault
upon young white woman by the
name of Mary McElrood, but the
Jury recommended him to mercy and
he was only sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary instead OF
the gallows, where all such tiends'
white or black, should be sent.
Dink Worthington, a brother OF
Jack, who was indicted along with
his brother, was acquitted. Still
another white iman, Will Golden,
will be tried at this same term of
court for criminally assaulting
another white man, Will Golden,
ME Gentry. Then negro man will
be tried for criminaily .assaulting
little negro girl.
A dispatch says although there
was considerable excitement in the
northern part of Barlow county fol-
lowing the commission of the as
saults on Miss Elrod and Miss Gen
try, and threats of lynching were
freely made, the excitement was ap-
peased when the special term OF
court was ordered to try the cas-
es. While the verdict in the Wor-
thington case fails to meet the ap-
proval of many of the hundreds OF
citizens from the northern section of
the county who are in attendance up
on the court, it is not apprehended
that there will be any attempt Ito
do either of the Worthingstons vio-
|, lelce."
The spectacle of. three white men
facing trial at the same term OF
court charged with criminal assault
"a crime heretofore associated al
most exclusively with certain type
of the negro-is unparalleled in the
history of American courts. The de-
tails of the assaults upon the two
young women, as recited by them
were revolving. Yet, in the face
of all this, one of the white fiends,
when convicted, is recommended to
the mercy of the court and he is
saved from the gallows. Had he
been a black fend, he would prob
ably have been lynched. Then why
should a white fiend be so tenderly
handled by jury? He should have
been hung the same as a negro
would have been hung for a similar
crime. White fiends should be treat
ed the same as black fiends. All of
them deserve death and no chicken
hearted jury should have the power
of saving them from the gallows.
