The Farmers Institute is not "for
men only''-all who attend will find a
cordial welcome The Farmers In
stitute is a meeting for farmers and
town men alike who are soundly and
truly interested in the community. 1t
is. more than anything else, a country
life conference where men meet on
the common level. Farm matters will
be discussed. Let US try to find out
some of our farm troubles, that we
do not know that we have, and try to
find a remedy for those-and others
that we do know that we have. but
have not yet found cure,
These are questions that strike at
the heart and purse of agriculture
aren't they worth our careful consid-
eratiOn:-
Any questions may be brought up
for discussion, and it is well for ev-
cry one to take part in such as would
be of interest. The following might
be OF some interest at this time:

HOW TO MAKE JELLY JELL"
iddie ID. Root OF the University Gives
Instructions.

It is just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces, peaches, OF
pears as from any other kind of fruit
| if You know how, according to Miss
Addie ID. Root of the Missouri College
! of Agriculture All that is necessary
is to add enough tartaric or citric
! acid TO the juice to make it taste about
as sour as a good sour apple. This
usually means about level teaspoon
full to quart of juice. 1t destroys
the delicate flavor of peach and pear
juice somewhat but improves the
flavor of sweet apple and ounce
juice
Blackberries, blueberries, raspber-
ries. partially ripe grapes. crab ap-
pies. sour apples, and plums usually
make good jelly because they have
enough acid already and also contain
substance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought out
with the juice by heating if jelly is to
be made. That is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the juice
from cold fruit. All apples and sim
liar fruits have enough pectin for
jelly-making purposes.
In making apple jelly. cover the
fruit with water before cooking and
boil twenty or thirty minutes After
boiling has continued ten or fifteen
minutes. add about three-quarters of
cup of sugar for every cup of juice,
the sugar that will be required should
have been measured into a pan and
warmed in the oven for a while be-
fore it is added. II should be care
fully stirred in to prevent burning.
As soon as the glasses are filled
with the hot jelly they should be set
in a cool place while jelling takes
place. They should be sealed from the
air but if the jelly has been slightly
overlooked. it may be covered with
panes of glass and allowed to harden
in the sun. When it is well-set pour
hot paraffin over the top and put
clean tin covers on the glasses.

but not continuously. He entered the
senate December a, 1916, and served
to March 8, 1928, when he was sue
ceeded by the brilliant young Robert
Y. Hayne, who had just defeated him
for reelection. He returned to the
senate November 18, 1926, having
been elected by the general assembly
to fill out Senator Gaillard's term,
which expired March 3, 1881.
Robert Y. Hayne served nine years
and nine months. He entered the
senate March a, 1923, and was re-
elected for the second term, beginning
March 4, 1929. He resigned in De-
cember, 1882, upon being elected gov
ernor.
Gen. Sumter.
Gen. Thomas Sumter gave a little
more than nine years of his talents to
the service of his State in the senate.
He entered the senate December 3,
1901, to fill out the unexpired term
of the other of the two great leaders
of the Democratic party in South
Carolina, Charles Pinckney, and
served to December 10, 1910, when
he resigned.
Pierce Butler also served a little
over nine years, but not continuously.
He was one of the two first senators
from South Carolina, commencing his
first term of service, March A, 1889.
He got one of the short terms of four
years and at the expiration thereof
was reelected for full term of six
years, but he resigned in 1896. In
November, 1902, he was again elected
to the senate to fill out the unex-
pired term of John Ewing Calhoun,
who had just died. He resigned in
1904 and was succeeded by John Gail
lard, as before stated.
William G. Preston was another of
this States senators who served nine
years. He entered the senate Novem-
ber 26, 1888, to fill out the term of
Senator Stephen d. Miller, who had
resigned. He was reelected for full
term beginning March a, 1887, but
resigned in 1912 and was succeeded
by George McDuffie.
Thomas j. Robertson served nearly
nine years. He entered the senate
June 25, 1868, and served to March
q, 1877, when he was succeeded by
Gen. M. c. Butler.
None Of the 25 other men who have
served South Carolina in the senate
has reached so many as eight years,
Senator E. D. Smith being the next
man on the senatorial service list
with little over seven years.

sources probably would save the ma
tion in the end, but only after fright

If Mexico possessed a government
and an army organized along Euro
pean lines we should be in immedi-
ate danger of losing our border
states. Certainly they would be in
vaded and despoiled. Our Shotgun"
army which Mr.. Bryan promises
would rise to the colors ten millions
strong would be kept so busy bury
ing its dead that it would have no op-
portunity to do anything else.
The United States has engaged in
a number of wars; but has never
fought first rate power on equal
terms. What the future holds no
man can say. Preparedness, how
ever, costs far less than unprepared-
ness was proved thousands of years
ago. We must accept the verdict of

The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-06-09
SAME OLD ARGUMENT.

History repeats itself. More than
1000 years ago a William jennings
Bryan, living in ancient Syracuse on
the eastern coast of Sicily in the
Mediterranean sea, protested loudly
against preparedness, using the very
argument so frequently quoted to-
day.
"Even if the enemies We're to come
so distant from their resources, and
opposed to such power as ours, their
destruction would be easy and in evil
table. Their ships will have enough
to do to get to our country at all and
to carry such stores of all sorts as
will be needed. They cannot, there
fore, carry besides an army large
enough to cope with such a population
as ours. They will have no fortified
places from which to commence their
operations, but must rest them on no
better base than a set of wretched
tents and such means as the neces-
sites of the moment will allow them.
But in truth I do not believe they
would even be able to affect dis
embarkation. Let us, therefore, set
at naught these reports as altogether
of home manufacture, and be sure
that If any enemy does come the
state will know how to defend itself
in a manner worthy of the national
honor"
This speech is preserved in Thucy-
dides. 1t is also matter of record
that very short time after it was
made Syracuse was visited by hos
tile Athenian fleet and army, its
surrounding country made waste and
the city besieged. But for the blum
ders of the Greek general the city
would have been sacked and destroy
ed. 1t was saved not by it's own
citizens, but by the timely assistance
Of allies.
In the Mexican squabble we have
shown how little prepared we are for
even inconsequent emergencies. If
we were to be brought face to face

TILLMAN NOW HOLDS
RECORD FOR SERVICE.
Senior Senator's Incumbency Of More
Than Twenty-one Years Exceeds
That of John Gaillard.

A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary of the
historical commission of South Car
olina, said yesterday that Senator B.
r. Tillman now holds the record fol
long service in the United States SEN
ate from South Carolina. Prior to
Thursday the record had been held
by John Gaillard. Mr.. Gaillard COM
menced service in the senate Decem-
ber 6, 1904, having been elected to
fill the unexpired term of Pierce But
Ter, resigned. His term expired
March 3, 1907. He was reelected sue
cessively for the terms beginning
March A, 1907, March 4, 1918, March
4, 1919 and March a, 1925. He died
February 26, 1926, having served 81
years and SO days, or three full terms
of six years each and two parts OF
terms and having been elected to the
position five times. He was president
pro tempore of the senate a consid-
cradle portion of that time.
Senator Tillman began his service
in the senate March 4, 1895, and
passed his 21st year of serve March
a, 1916. Thursday Senator Tillman
equaled the record of Senator Gail
lard and today he passed it.
Senator Butler.
The South Carolinian with the next
longest service to Senator Gaillard
was Senator Matthew Calbraith But
Ter with 18 years, from March a, 1877,
to March 8, 1895. Next came Sena-
tor John G.. Calhoun with 14h
years, but not continuous. He
first took his seat in the senate De-
cember IL, 1882, and resigned there
from December 7, 1912. He returned
to the senate December 26, 1845, and
served to his death, May 20, 1850.
He had Immediately preceding his
first service in the senate served as
vice president for nearly eight years,
from March A, 1926.
Next to Senator Calhoun in length
of service came Senator Andrew Pick
ems Butler, uncle of Senator Matthew
Calbraith Butler. He entered the
senate to succeed George McDuffie,
resigned, December FL, 1914, and
served to his death, May 25, 1867, a
matter of 12h years. Toward the
close of his service he aroused the
anger of Charles Sumner, who spoke
very insultingly of him and of the
State which he represented during
his absence. Senator Butler was
about 60 years old at that time and
not in good health. His kinsman
Preston S. Brooks, then in the house
of representatives, resented Summers
language and ended by Gaming him
on the floor of the senate after the
senate had adjourned.
Gen. Wade Hampton.

years in the senate, from March A.
1873, to March 3, 1891. William
