Can tlu? Surplus Product. Clemson College, Inno 19.- Spo liai: At this season of the year, and Hom now until August, many farm ers have more fruit than they dis pose of properly. In most cases that portion which is not eaten green or rooked for the labio during the rip ening season is either allowed to fall to (he ground and rot or is pu ked up and thrown to the hogs. This is a wasteful method. In the majority of eases, when surplus fruit is al lowed to waste in summer canned fruit has to be hough; during *ho winter to supply the table. Hy all means, the surplus should lie pul up in ??ins. This is easily done and is inexpensive. Often nuire culi bo put up than is needed for hom?? use. In such eases. Ibero is always good sal?- for it on the local market. Several farmers in this Stat?? last year paid most of their fertilizer bills with money from the sale of fruit canned in this manner. They had before boen letting it go to waste. The sam?? applies to vegetables. Some extra benns and tomatoes should always b<? grown to supply the table during winter. lt will he cheaper to grow these .uni can them than to get them at the grocer's. The profn in most of tli?- home or chards and gardens is in that por tion which is mu us???l in mumer, but canned and saved for wini. ? use. Tributes Paid tn Women.

"ASSASSINATION," SAYS COURT. Judge Wilson's Timely Remarks to Fairfield County Grand Jury. The following extracts arc taken from the able charge to the Fairfield I grand jury immediately after the re cen! deplorable lynching and mur der of Sheriff Hood: Justice Cries Aloud, i Winnsboro C r. Charleston News ?ni ' ' 'oi rler. > " The blood-stained portals of this temple of justice cry aloud for the vindication of the majesty of the law." said Judge .lohn S, Wilson in his vigorous charge to thc Fairfield county grand jury, in which he de nounced the shooting of Sheriff Hood and his deputies as "assassination", and called on the grand jury to make a thorough and sweeping In vestigation and to hiing every one connected with the horrible affair io just Ice. "It is your duty," said Judge Wil son, "to act, and to act in such a manlier as to vindicate the law which has been so greatly outraged Ibis day." Calling attention to the fact that he first presided as Judge in Winns boro in September, 1907, Judge Wil son recalled tin- glorious history of Fairfield county, "a county known ( for the manhood of its men and the puritj of its women, a county where law and order reigned, but which I this day has been outraged. Did this happen on thc borders of Arizona? Did this happen in Mexico? No it happened in old historic Winnsboro," con I i ii in d t be J udge, "What man ls there whose blood doc., not boil when he hears ot' the crime ol' which this poor wretch stood accused?" Judge Wilson asked, adding that he had been informed that the negro had confessed and that everything was in readiness lo give him a lair and impartial trial, and that the law would have been vindicated and justice done. Ile said thal men should control themselves in such circumstances, "but this morning men gave vent to their lias sions and took the law into their j own hands and with what result? j Your sheriff lies hovering between life and dea i h. The negro is dead. Several deputies are badly wounded. Talk about Mexico! Here at the door ol' this court house lawlessness reigns. lt ought to shake the State of South Carolina from center to cir cumference." emphatically declared Judge Wilson. Tributo to Sherill. The Judge paid a glowing tribute to the brave sheriff who risked his life in the performance of his duty. "A man without a drop of coward's blood in his veins, and a man whom I delight to honor. I wish every sheriff in South Carolina was like him, and that we had thousands of ?such citizens," staled Judge Wilson, j who praised the bravery, the devo I Hon to duty and the action of Sheriff I Hood.
