Cut down expenses was the remedy advocated by Mr Robinson in his campaign fos the guberna or ial nomination. and 1 sincerely hope he will be able when inaugurated to remove the financial difficulties Of the ssate by this best plan How ever, when We consider that the present governor has vetoed more than one million in appropriations, much of which but for the shortage of revenues he would not have ve- toed and the state is still on a scrip basis. it may be found that un- less be extended the cutting of ex penses to the extent of abolshing some of it's institutions, which he would hardly want to do, the rem edy must be sought further
 Raising of Assessments.
 The second best plan would be to raise assessments until valua- ton is reached from which the pres ent rate would produce sufficient revenue for the needs of the state This plan would be most praise worthy and just So long as valua- tions are less than 100 per cent. that long an injustice will be done the small property owner Our Con stitution and every revenue statute have proposed loo per cent as sessment but it has never been ac- aomplished One reason for this failure, is that under fixed rate, the amount l pay in taxes is not eff feeted by the amount you pay or should pay You should pay more than you do, perhaps. and may know you should, but since my amount is not increased by your der eliction l pass your short-comng by. But would l do so if my tax es were raised in proportion 10 your default?

Sweet Mixed Pickles

Kindly let me know how to make sweet mixed pickles. R. S."
 Sweet Mixed Piclles.-Cut caulihower into small sprigs, string and clip string beans, peel Tom Thumb tomatoes, put in whole cherries, add radish seeds (green) or any other green thing you like. Put all together into a kettle and cover with cold salt and water. Bring to a boil; take from the fire and soak for half an hour in ice water. Drain carefully and pack in small jars. Pour in spiced vinegar, add to each quart tablespoonful of French mustard and half a cupful of sugar.
 The vinegar should be boiling hot and the jars be rolled in hot water before the pickles go into them. Cover at once and set away for week. Then drain off the vinegar, boil up once and return to the pickles. Repeat this weekly for a month
 After the last sealding seal the jars.
 Some put in baby cucumbers and gherk- ins and tiny strips of lemon peel Con- suit taste and convenience in the selection of materials. But be careful not to get the mixture "mushy."

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Highway Robbery

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 We notice in Thursdays issue of your paper where one J. T. Brewer, chief of police of Bogart, Ga, arrived in Bir- min sham at 12:3O o'clock Tuesday night and was held up and robbed by three negroes within three blocks of the Terminal station at about 3:sO o'clock of ss3. his watch, knife and several other trinkets. And that one hour later Officer Holman arrested Maxie Frencher. a negro man, on a charge of highway robbery" Chief Brewer identified the negro, and upon searching his clothing found sS1 and Brewers watch and knife. The negro Preacher was released Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock by Police Chief Bodeker, when Brewer refused to swear out a warrant against the prisoner aft CT recovering his property. Now. it will not be considered "noseing' into lie to question why this negro high wayman obtained his liberty so easily. This was no personal affair."" It was not merely an "offense" committed on the person or against the feelings of the said Chief Brewer of Georgia. But lit was a crime--so grave that the law | fixes the death penalty-against the peace and dignity of the state. An at rocity against public society and public safety. Who had the right to give this ldesperado his freedom and lberty. and thereby license him to hold up and rob, and perhaps murder other citizens?
 He was in the clutches" of the law He had committed the crime at the dead hours of the night-3:30 a. m. He had been run down and arrested by an efficient officer of the law. He had been identified by his victim, and even the goods" were found on him. The
 evidence was proof. He had no denial
 nor defense. And yet his liberty is as
 secure as if he had been in prayer
 meeting instead of being out on the highway committing robbery.
 l What fear, or even respect will this
 negro have for the laws of the state
 now? He committed highway robber, a and was captured and it did not even cost him a cent. In fact, according to the statements he made s2 cash in the | transaction, and some trinkets" tc boot. But how were society and public safety protected in the matter of fiber
 ating this criminal? Was it not the
 duty of the officers who had this negro in charge to swear out a warrant fol lhim and, if necessary to put Mr. Brew
 CT under bond as a witness in the case
 The fact that Brewer refused to sweal out warrant is no excuse at all fol
 turning a criminal back on the public
 where he could continue his crimina
 operations
 There are many robberies committed in this vicinity and but very few arg
 ever caught. A highway robber usually ldisguises himself or commits his crime in the darkness. So that about 19 out of 20, or perhaps a greater per cent
 are never caught. This negro Frenchel may have committed this same crime many times before. and now when tho lofficers are fortunate enough to catci him he must be immediately turned
 loose to endanger the lives of the peo- lple and menace public society. I thinl it is an outrage, Mir. Editor. What d, you think? BOB ADAMS. Birmingham. November 2l. 1912.

Her story of Benares was almost as realistic as a journey to that fascinating place. 1he party arrived, said Mrs Henley, too late for service in the water but later went up the mountain for special service in one of the famed temples.
