Fixing up Fruit for the Fairs.

We are once more around to the
time when 1t is necessary to begin
thinking about the fairs If we are
to make fruit exhibits. Many of our
fruits now In season, will not keep
until fair time and it will be neces-
sary to preserve them in the right
way. The formulas here given are
recommended by men who have had
experience in preparing fruits for ex-
hibition purposes and who have
made successful exhibits of fruits
in solution. 1t must be kept in mind
however, that the greatest care is
necessary in selecting the fruit
which should be in the best possible
condition and without blemishes of
any kind or injury from fungus dis
eases or insects. In doing this work
it is necessary for even the exper-
fenced operator to experiment to
a considerable extent himself before
he can decide on any particular for
mula. Therefore the formulas CIV
en- are simply recommended as guild
es and those attempting to use
them are advised to experiment for
themselves, using small quantities
of fruit.
After the fruit has been carefully
selected, place it in receptacle in
which it is to be preserved. Cover
with clean, clear water and let stand
for six or seven hours. pouring OFF
the water and rinsing the fruit in
the receptacle thoroughly with 8
small hose in order to remove every
particle of dirt from both the jai

and the fruit. 1t is difficult to de-
termine Just how much glycerine
should be used, as different fruits
require different amounts and prac-
tically the only way this can be de-
which can be done by adding gly-
cerine from time to time as it seems
necessary to do so.
The specific gravity of the differ
ent fruits and even different speci-
mems of the same variety, differ con-
siderably SO that no definite advice
can be given. III the fruit Is firm
and solid it will not require
liquid of the same specific gravity
if overripe. 1t is recommended that
the preserving liquid be as much
lighter than the juice of the fruit
as is possible without causing the
fruit to crack. If the preserving
is heavier than the juice the result
will be that the fruit will shrivel.
Therefore there Is danger of adding
too much glycerine and practically
the only way to avoid doing so Is
to begin with a small amount and
add more If it is found to be nec-
essary to keep the fruit from crack
ing.
Formula No Ito gallon of
distilled water add two ounces oil
! fresh sulphurous acid. Stir well
and pour this over the fruit cover

to two inches. To this should be
added from eight to ten ounces OF

six to ten ounces of glycerine. de-

sugar contained in the fruit. Set the

it has been immersed in dark room

the fruit and renew the preparation

do is to prepare fresh lot.

Fractured His Skull With Pitcher

New Bern, n. c., Aug. 25.-A few
words between Night Clerk Cox and
bell boy, James Davis, colored, of
Hotel CASTOR, tonight about 7:30
o'clock, resulted in Cox receiving a
blow on the head from a metal wa
ter pitcher, filed with ice water, that
caused a fracture Of the skull, the
young man being taken to the sani-
forum as soon as possible, a later
report saying he was in a serious
condition. Davis, after the blow was
struck, fed out of the rear door, the
affair taking place in the passage-way
at the rear of the hotel. The cause
of the affair seems to have been a
senseless one of words leading to a
threat to strike and a blow given
that may prove most serious in re-
suits. The assailant is still at large.

Man Decapitated by Train.

Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 27.-The
headless body of an unknown white
man was found lying beside the rail-
road track near White Oak, a suburb
Of Greensboro, this afternoon soon
after passenger train No. So, going
to Danville had passed.
Sheriff Jones Immediately visited
the scene. The head of the man was
found several hundred yards from
the body in a clump of bushes, where
it had apparently been hurled by the
train. Examination showed a letter
addressed A. W. Austin, Greensboro,
evidently written by his wife from
Columbus, Ga. Further inquiry re-
vealed the fact that Austin had been
employed in cafe here, but was dis
charged this morning and was paid
ninety cents, the full amount due
him. This money was in his pocket
in the exact change that had been
given him.
Austin had told his employer that
he had sister who was wife of the
clerk of the court living in Danville,
and his father lived in Lynchburg.
These points have been telegraphed
to, the body in the meantime being
turned over to an undertaken.

Fear Attempt at Lynching.

Asheville, n c., Aug. 25.-It was
stated here this afternoon that the
sheriff Of Cherokee County would
bring Lex Battles, charged with kill
ing Benz. Hyde, Jr., of Kentucky,
and ]. w. Simpson, ministerial stu
dent Of Rodgersville, Tenn, here for
safe-keeping. The tragedy occurred
on the night of August 9Th, follow
ing i'll feeling on Battles part on
account of an alleged remark by
Simpson, that no lady would attend
dances. Later reports say that Bat
ties shot Simpson down while the lat
ter was reading a Bible in a hotel
room. The feeling has been intense
at Murphy, and rumors of lynching
has caused the authorities to keep a
close lookout. There were also ru-
mors that Battles friends from An
drews would attempt a jail delivery.

Killed Little Cousin With "Unload-
ed" Gun.

Waynesville, Aug. 25.-It is the
same old story of an empty gun
which this morning sent Miss Eva
Holderfeld, aged fourteen, of South
Waynesville, to her untimely death.
She had spent the night with her
cousins, family by the name of Da-
Wis, in the same section of town. She
slept with two Of her cousins. This
morning about six o'clock as she was
sitting up in bed, preparatory to get
ting up, her little eight-year-old boy
cousin, Walker Davis, snapped a pis-
toll at her unloaded, as he thought,
but to his amazement it fired. The
ball took effect in the left temple and
lodged under the right ear. DR..
Greenwood got there in thirty min
utes and did all that medical skill
could do to save her. She lived just
one hour.
