a JUST SENTENCE.
City Council Commended For Enforc-
ins the Law.

Editor item:
Please allow the writer space in
your columns to say a few words in
commendation Of the action of the
City Council in refusing to commute
or reverse the sentence imposed on the
two vlolators Of the law against the
selling Of whiskey. There was no
evidence TO prove that the sentences
imposed by the Recorder were too
severe. and this being the case there
was nothing else for the Council to
do but TO let them stand. 1t very
rarely happens that the punishment
meted out to those who violate the
law does not bring humiliation and
suffering to innocent people. but can
not be taken into consideration by
those who are charged with the en-
forcement Of the statutes. for IL this
were done the whole administration
Of the law would be farce and fur
nish no security for either person or
property. Wen a man Is tempted to
violate any law he should. before
yielding to the temptation, consider
what II will mean in the way Of NOR
tihcation and possibly actual physical
suffering TO his family. and IL the
contemplation of this does not re-
strain him he has no earthly right to
offer this as plea TO escape the le-
gitlmate consequences OF his lawless
acts. III Nis family are in need II Is
perfectly right that they should be
helped. but the man himself should,
by all means be made TO serve his
sentence. IL may not be amiss 20
remark just here for the benefit Of
outsiders. that no worthy family or
Individual will ever be allowed to suf-
fer for food or clothing in Sumter for
its citizens are warm hearted and gem
erous and any appeal 10 them for help
meets with an immediate response.
The very best way 70 prevent the
violation OF any law Is 20 make the
punishment for II matter Of abso-
Lutte certainty. and when public opin-
ion reaches this point crime, now so
prevalent In our State will soon be-
come a matter Of rare occurrence
There are. very unfortunately. great
many people who allow a sickly senti-
mentality 20 prompt them To sign any
thing I'm the shape Of "a petition foI

That's So" said Jim, "and / can't
understand it, for I put some 2-S-2
in the furrow under that corn"
But you have not the stuff under
II to hold the moisture. Your corn is
fired in the dry weather following the
heavy early rains, and you have moth
ing there but the old dead skeleton
of sand and clay, while l have the
decaying clover and manure making
humus that will hold moisture. Then.
too, you laid-by your corn with
turning plow, banking the earth up
to it and cutting the roots, while I
went through as shallow as my two
horse cultivator would run, and simply
left dust blanket on the level
ground"
But" said Jim, "I thought that
the corn would blow down if the soil
wasn't hilled up to it,
1T has blown down worse han
mine as you see, for you veal ,ed
1t by cutting the roots, and you COW
cred the brace roots and made them
tender. while mine are left tough
above the ground and hold on hard
with their uncut roots. "".'
why don't you take the paper and
study these things?" asked John.
THAT is where I have learned these
improved methods. The man in these
days who fails to study his profession
is not going to succeed. The whole
South Is waking up, and if you want
to keep up with the procession, you
must wake up and go to farming"
But l amt go the money that YOU
have"
/ had no more than you when
determined to do better, and it only
takes brains and energy to do better.

as though he was wondering IL there

Keep him alive next winter. If you
must go in debt, go in for things
that are going to get you out Of the
hands of the merchant and fertilizer
man. You are working harder than
necessary If you only knew how to
make your work pay better. I have
money because / planned to have
some coming in at all seasons instead
OF depending on the one crop of cot
ton for all the money I need. So long
as you do that YOU will have the same
old thing to do every spring-go in
deDt Tor supplies, and then at the end
take everything you have made TO
square up, and go through the same
process the next spring 1t is that
sort of farming that has kept YOU
poor and made your land poor. and so
long as YOU keep spending your money
for little 200 pounds an acre OF
fertilizer that is one-fourth sand. and
grow no forage and feed no stock
make no manure and look 20 the cot
ton crop to pay for everything else.
you Will keep poor and your land Will
remain poor
There's more in the man than in
the land. Get move on YOU. The
land is all right, if the man does his
duty by it. and the land will continue
TO make poor crops SO long as the
man fails to do his duty by it.

Hints,


Meats and fish which spatter in cook
ing may BE- scared first and then placed
in the oven to finish cooking.
Paper bags which accumulate so fast
may be put to good use In the kitchen.
In wiping the kitchen range use small
bag as a glove.
When frying doughnuts lay in paper
bag and they will lose much Of their
greasiness.
Rolls may be rewarmed and made
crisp aud good II placed in q paper bag
In hot oven.
When boiled custard is slightly over
cooked, 1t may be brought back to the
right consistency, If 1t be thoroughly
beaten with an egg-beater.
When q kettle is liable to boil over
grease the rim lightly all around with q
bit of butter. The contents will touch
this danger line, but will not pass it,
This is q good thing to remember when
boiling syrups or making candies.
Glass preserve jars for keeping gro
oeries in q pantry will be found most
useful. They are easily cleaned, neat to
look at, and the contents are seen at a
glance, 40 one knows when the supplies
are running low. It is we'll to paste a
label on each one, then there will be no
danger Of using a wrong article. Such
things as tea, coffee, rice, tapioca,
rsisins, currants, cream Of tartar, pow
dered sugar, salt, etc., may be kept clean
and fresh in these jars.
A good covering for an ironing board
may be made from unbleached cotton
cloth. Cut 1t about two inches larger
than the board, hem It all around, and
at intervals Of six inches sew on tape,
to tie It on the board. II two covers are
made fresh one can always be kept
ready for use.
A buttonhole worked In the corner
Of tho dishcloth will be found better
than loop by which to hang it up, be-
cause q buttonhole will last as long as
the cloth itself, whereas . loop often
gets pulled of.
To get fresh jelly whom 1t is needed
make q practice OF straining fruit juice
in the summer the same as when you are
usually making jelly, but put the juice
into jars, boiling hot, just as In canning.
and without sugar; then, at any time In
the winter, sugar may be added and jel-
~ made and It will be nice and fresh
And the work will not be nearly 20 hard
a. on hot summers day.
An excellent remedy for insomnia, !.
to battle the feet in cold water every
night before retiring. II one awakens
during the night, and begins to think,
get up and plunge the feet In cold water,
dry them, 60 back to bed and one will 60
