Hartsville, June 25.?South Carolina is called upon to mourn the loss of one of her most useful and distinguished citizens?one whose long life was ever pure in its purpose and strong in its striving. Maj. Jas. Lide Coker died at his home here] | this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The | end was not unlooked for although j it came suddenly. For some few years Major Coker had not taken! j active detailed management of hisj I large and varied business interests j I but his active interest and influence | was felt in his affairs. Generally j he discussed the details regularly with his sons and lieutenants and i made many suggestions as to their management.

Newman, head of the v Horticultural Division, have perfected a method of peeling peaches by chemical process, at a great sav-1 ing of time, labor, and fruit. n Ordinary caustic soda, commonly called lye, is used, preferably that sold under the brand of "Greenback; ? Alkali." !1 11 Use a three per cent solution (lj^ pound of soda to 4 gallons of wa-! ter); heat to 90 or 95 degrees cent-1 ? igrade. ( j! Dip the unwashed fruit into this i I and allow to remain one to two; ^ minutes, until the skin scales off i t freely. j Wash the fruit well in three j t waters to remove loose neeline and I all trace of soda. c Equipment, even for a commerce cial cannery, is not expensive. Foril use in the home in canning or oth-Jr erwise preserving peaches the pro- j e cess is easily applicable. i a An ordinary porcelain lined pre-'t serving kettle makes an excellent' vat for the solution. A wooden ves-ja sel may be used, but not metal ves-j n sels, which would be corroded by | i: the caustic soda. A wire horse muzzle, or something similar, may be c used for a dipping basket for scalding and for washing in the three | 3 waters after scalding. In this way! d the fruit need not be touched byj e hand after scalding until complete-1 ly washed. j b A 12-gallon solution will dip 50; C bushels of peaches. The fruit retains all its original' F flavor and firmness. I c | A careful chemical analysis shows; o no trace of anything harmful. f Soft ripe fruit can be peeled as j Jeffectively as firm fruit; and small|v or irregular fruit as readily as the. n better specimens. A bushel of peaches peeled byj this chemical process will fill 25 j h quarts, or six quarts more than a; Is bushel peeled by mechanical meth- t! ods. f Write to the Horticultural Divis-j a ion, Clemson College, S.
