PICK APPLES FOR STORAGE
Fruit Not Too Ripe and Yet Not Too
6reen-Hard Problem to Hit
Proper Time.
(By r. 3. RrIsHrNn,

By r. B. RUSHING,
There are two things Ia Re avo,ded
u picking apples for cold storage:
nrst, fruit must not be fully matured:
second. the fruit should not be too
green.
"nen fruit is allowed to fully ma
lure on the trees the very best and
most perfect cold storage in the coun-
try Will not carry It for any consider
able length of time without heavy
shrinkage.
On the other hand, when you pick
the Iruit too green, while 1t win likely
carry well. It will lack size, color and
navor; and experienced apple dealers
VIII want from 80 cents to 81 discount
per barrel according to the market.
Just when to pick fruit so that It
Will not be too ripe and so 1t will not
be too green, is sometimes hard
problem.
Where a man has a large orchard
and only small force to do his work,
ne Will have to commence earlier, and
possibly the first fruit he picks will
be too green, and the last fruit he
picks will be too ripe.
He must SO plan his work that the
bulk of his fruit will be picked about
the proper time.
The heaviest shrinkage I ever sus-
tanned in cold storage, except on wind
Tails and apples picked of of the
ground, was on fruit that seemed to
be perfect when 1t came In, beautiful
and highly colored, large and smooth;
yet inside Of month or two / no.
ticed that these barrels were slack.
Inside Of 3h months the shrinkage
was such that they had to be re-
packed. In four or five months the
shrinkage was very great.
1t could not have been the fault of
the storage. for there were others
right beside it, in the same room, the
same temperature. the same humid
ity. and the same care, and practically
no shrinkage at all.
What was the cause of this fruit not
keeping? Nothing more or less than
because the apples had been allowed
to fully mature on the trees.
The best and surest way to handle
fruit fully matured is to put it on the
market at once.
Most any man with a medium-sized
orchard can pick and pack the greater
portion Of his fruit without it being
fully ripe; but in case he cannot, he
would better have it a little green
than too ripe.
Green fruit will gradually mellow
In cold storage, and such varieties as
Huntsman and Grimes Golden will
gradually change from green In color
to q yellowish tinge very much like
the natural color of the fruit when
ripe. Ben Davis and Winesap and
some other sorts. however, will not
change much, If any.
1t therefore Is very desirable that
the red apples be allowed to mature
as much as possible without getting
too ripe in order to get the proper
color.
Good nice apples always sell for
much greater prices later in the sea-
son and therefore it Is profitable to
have them placed in cold storage In
the proper condition so as to keep
well.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT CHARGED.
Alleged that Italian Committed
Crime in Columbia.

Columbia, April SIT was learned
that o. Sciserlinder, an Italian dress
maker, is in Jail upon the charge of
criminal, assault. The deputy jailer
stated tonight that he could not un-
derstand the mans version Of the
alleged affair. It is alleged that he
committed a criminal assault upon
a we'll known married woman, who
resides in Shandon.
The assault is alleged to have been
committed a month ago at the vic
TINS home, where Sciserlinder
boards, but the charges brought to
light at the preliminary hearing be-
fore Magistrate Fowles did not be-
come known until Wednesday. The
woman said she dared not tell her
husband because Sciserlinder threat
ened to kill her if she mentioned the
matter to anyone. Her husband said
that for several weeks his wife acted
strangely, as if there was something
of a serious nature on her mind.
Finally she told him of her accusa-
tions against Sciserlinder, and the
arrest of the man followed. The par
ties involved in the case are we'll
known in Columbia. The husband
of the woman is employed in store
in the city. The alleged offence is
not bailable.

Orangeburg's View.

Orangeburg has been stuffed full
of railroad propositions for the past
several years, and in. each and every
case, we have been ''stung." But If
there has ever been one which pos
sessed merit, the present proposition
for an extension from Ehrhardt to
Bamberg, and on to this city, seems
to be that one. The proposition has
many attractive features, and per-
haps the most attrative one is the
fact that. the road is not such a big
undertaking, and therefore will not
require tons of money to carry it
through. The propositions hitherto,
while they started in modest pro-
portions soon grew to such gigantic
size that they were unwieidly, and
were compelled to be abandoned. The
present proposition is a road Of not
more than 20 miles at the utmost,
and to build this road would mean
the opening up of most valuable
territory. Much business could be
drawn to this city on account of this
road, and much travel would un-
doubtedly pass through here on ac-
count of the fact, that this country is
practically inaccessible only in a
most round about way. This city
could be made the terminal station,
and then another train would be ad-
ded to the large number already. ar
irving in the city each day. Viewed
from all sides, the proposition seems
to be a feasible one, and one which
should be taken hold of by our citi-
zens and carried through to compile
ton, if such is possible.-Orangeburg

REVENUE TAX ON SOFT DRINKS.
Revenue Agent Gives Notice that
Dealers Must Comply.

Columbia, April Sit is very
probable that Charleston drug stores
and all others selling soft drinks,
will be subject to revenue license
tax, if all are not now paying it.
The internal revenue department
under the administration Of Mr.. A.
J. Yellowley, as revenue agent, has
served notice upon all the soft drink
sellers OF Columbia that they must
take out licenses as liquor dealers,
If they are using or have used syrups
containing as much as one-half Of
one per cent of alcohol. Several of
the dealers in Columbia have taken
out licenses for the last two years,
rather than contest the ruling, but
it is possible tlat one or more Of the
dealers may take the matter to the
Courts. Others have paid up rather
than protest.

PACOLET "KICK" SETTLED.
Superintendent will Respect Wishes
and Appoint White Man.

Spartanburg, April S.-The people
of Pacolet Township, who have raised
a howl because a negro had been ap-
pointed as census enumerator for
their district, were made to feel per-
fectly at ease this morning, when
Superintendent of Census Pritchard
made known that such would not be
the case, and that white man would
be appointed. The matter will be ad-
tusted satisfactorily to all parties,
and it is thought that nothing fur
ther will be heard of it. Some per-
SONS living in this township threaten
ed not to give desired information
to a negro census taker and petition
ed that white man be appointed.
The negro stood the examination
successfully and received the ap-
pointment, and the citizens objected,
and the outcome may be that a sep
arate man will be appointed to take
census Of negroes.
s The negro will only call upon men,
bers of his race. This arrangement
is entirely satisfactory to all parties
concerend land Superintendent Pritch-
ard will in all probability make all
appointment of white man during
the next few days.

Mrs. Sarah J. Dow has been formally
charged against Bertram G. Spencer,
a clerk, aged 2SY who was arrested

Closing Streets to Automobiles.

The town of Eden, in Maine, under
express legislative authority, passed
an ordinance closing to the use OF
automobiles certain public streets IN
that town, the Supreme Judicial
Court of the State held Estate vs..
Mayo) that the legislative enactment
which authorized the closing of such
streets to the use of automobiles was
not repugnant to any constitutional
provision, and that the ordinance was
constitutional. The court said that
when the legislature has constitution
al authority to enact law to pro-
mote. the public safety, and does en-
act, II, the expediency Of It's enact
ment is not to be passed upon by the
court. Ip such case the legislature
determines by the enacment that the
law :is reasonable and necessary.

Prohibition and Federal Law.

The advocates Of the bill in congress
to restrict the shipments Of liquor
into prohibition states, are getting
restive under the hold-up and pro-
pose to make trouble, says the Pitts
burg Standard Union. The Anti-Sa-
loon league says it will carry the
issue to the polls If the bills do not
pass. This league is not on the best
of terms with some of the prohibition
and temperance organizations, but 1t
is numerous and aggressive. In the
present state of party confusion its
activities might further complicate
the political situation in several
states.
. No good arguments against the
bills has been brought forward; in
fact, they are having to contend not
so much with opposition as with
evasion. When a state prohibits the
sale of liquor, importations In origi-
nal packages cannot be interferred
with because interference would be
regulation of interstate commerce, q
power delegated to the Federal por-
ton of the American government.
Sometimes it happens that more liq-
or (such as it is) gets into state
after a prohibition law is passed than
before, making state regulation diff
cult or impossible.
The .Prohibitionfsts want inter-
state traffic In liquors forbidden astto
states in which the people have de-
clared for the abolishment Of the
saloons. This is as it should be, be-
cause the people Of state ought to
have either one thing or the other
either no liquor at all or else liquor
dispensed on the terms prescribed by
the people. The system Of giving the
abstainers all the law they want and
giving the drinkers all the rum"
they want Is a joke that should be
obsolete.

Cattle-Raising Again. i.

We republished recently a para
graph from The Bamberg Herald
telling of the shipment of eight car
loads of cattle from that county last
week and calling upon our contempo-
rary to inform US as to the profits
resulting to the farmers who raised
these beeves. Now comes The Herald
with the astounding information that
none of this cattle was raised in Bam-
berg county. These beeves, some
seven or eight hundred head of them,
were. bought by Bamberg county
farmers in Tennessee last fall and
shipped to Bamberg to be fattened
and 4resold, the farmers desiring to
obtain the compost for their farms.
{ The cattle, says The Herald, were
1attaned on hulls and meal purchased
1t the local oil mill. and brought
about cents the pound when sold
last week. I'm this connection" our
contemporary concludes, att may be
noted that the 'fattening of cattle each
winter by the farmers around Bam-
berg is getting to be quite an indus
Try, SO we were correct in saying that
Bamberg is getting to be quite mar
let for beef CATTLE
This is good enough as far as it
goes, but why in the name of common
sense. buy cattle in Tennessee for the
purpose of fattening, them? If they
can be fattened profitably in Bam-
berg, why can they not be raised there
yet more profitably? And if they can
be raised profitably in Bamberg
county, why not in other counties? :?
Twenty years ago It was customary
TO bring every winter great droves
sof hogs across the mountains from
Tennessee into, the upper counties Of
South Carolina for sale. The farm
sers of South Carolina have found
now, at least some Of them have, that
they: can best afford to raise their
own hogs and their own corn upon
which to fatten those hogs. Some
day they will learn that it will pay
them also to give some attention to
supplying butter and milk for their
neighbors in the towns and cities of
south Carolina, as well as for them
selves, and to furnish some of the
.beef which they themselves and their
neighbors must eat. Why postpone
that time?. Why not do 1t now? The
subject at least merits careful investi-
1ation. and Courier.
