? SORTING HERNANDO WAS ' SOME "HARD-BOILED" GUY Sfcowed Gang Who Was Boss When fTims Came To Go, But He Saved Enough To Get Home. Herando Cories. the lad that took Montezuma's marbles and his country and his life away from him back in the sixteenth century, was a hard boiled guy. From the time he "crashed" his way into his first bull fight by carrying water for the horses, he was always inviting Old Man. Trouble's youngest and brightest boy out to do tour rounds before breakfast. The neighbors used to say: "That Hernl Cortez is a reckless vnnnir fellur Mart my wordH, he'll come to no good end." Dut Hernle used to get by with it. His motto used to be: "I don't know where I'm goin' and I don't care when I get back." People used to wonder iiow he did it until they discovered that Cortez always had an ace in the hole. He always had something saved ap and ready for use when necessity demanded. i While he was snorting around the Carribean Sea in a steel vest and a tin hat. he and his gang dropped into Vera Cruz. Cortez had heard about Montezuma and his wonderful city up in the mountains and wanted to go. The gang refused. "I'll show you who is boss," said Cortez, and burned every one of his ships as they lay on the beach. That left the gang no place to go but ahead which was what Cortez wanted. Bui he saved himself up something kor the future. Secretly he saved every ibit of Iron about those ships, collected every nail from the ashes, tallowed them and all the carpenter tools against rust and said to the gang " Let'B go!" When he came back to Vera Crus, he cashed In on his savings. He resur rected the nails, built new ships and took the gang and the money they had captured back to Spain. The moral ii that k may be all right to burn youi chips but save the nails. The only saf< plan for any man to follow is to hart a reserve fund in caee of emergenciee There Hi only one safe and sure plaz to accomplish that.

A small but interested crowd of Dil-, !on county farmers heard President Williams of the American Cotton ; Grower's Exchange explain the workings of the Cotton Grower's Cooperative Association Saturday afternoon and were very much impressed by1 Mr. Williams' talk. Mr. Williams told how the farmers of Oklahoma had got together, pooled their cotton and sold it at a better J price than they were offered by broker, manufacturer and exporter. He begun his talk by telling ho.v the raisin growers of California hud hank-1 rupted themselves by selling in in-: dividual lots and then how they form-' ed an association for the coopera-[ tive marketing of their product and made themselves independent. Lands Icould not be sold at a sacrifice in! jthe Frensco raisin district, said Mr J jWilliams, but when raisins, under the' icooperative marketing plan, jumped j front one and a half to seven and a [half cents a pound the price of lands ; juini>v(i iu jiuuu au were anu were ! hard to get at that price. Under the cooperative marketing plan the producer signs a contract to | ! let the association sell his cotton. He i ships his cotton to the nearest com-, press where it is graded and the aam-1 'pie sent to the head office in Mein'phis, Tenn. Arrangements have been made whereby the producer can borrow 65 per cent of the value of his cotton the day he puts it on the cars. The cotton in graded, numbered and (stored. Later it is offered in lots of !th< same grade. After deducting the I expenses of sale a check for the net proceeds is forwarded to the producer. The cotton is entirely in the hands of the association. It has the authority to sell whenever it pleases. The 'producer has no option in the matiter. But it has been shown that the association always get a higher price than is paid by the broker, manufacturer or exporter. The plan has the endorsement of thousands of cotton planters large and ' small and the association is meeting | with success. Nearly the entire cotton crop of Oklahoma is sold under ' the cooperative marketing plan. 1 Mr. Williams says the association r finds no difficulty in getting all the * funds it needs to carry on the busl TYPEWRITER RIBBONS ?

When it comes to' guiding the law along the lines of justice, there are none superior to Hon. R- Withers Memminger. No other judge in the state has presided at a larger number! of more difficult trials?cases of the most aggravated and unreasonable1 crime where great wealth sought toi weigh down justice that rich and pow-j erful malefactors might escape. It was: because of Judge Memminger's determination that the majesty of the law should be upheld that W. T. Jones was convicted of the murder of his wife, regardless of the powerful arpar t\f onn n eol K iro#) wiik ey, and possibly of bribed witnesses, j It was Judge Memminger who made short work of that Bigham murdererj down in Florence, and except for, Judge Memminger there would proba-j hly have been no conviction. That fellow Tom Harrison, who was on trial in Greenville last week, was about as unspeakable a wretch as this state 1ms known during his genera-j tion. He was a liquor seller, a gambler, trader in the moral degradation of men and women. His wife was of the same stripe. She had amassed wealth along that line before the two united their fortunes in marriage, and iof course she was no truer to Harrison than Harrison was to her. Itj iwas during a debauch at Tom Harriison's house that the shooting occur-! i red. Harrison came upon Monk! !Young, another worthy of the same' isfripe, in companionship with Har-1 jrison's wife under conditions that j aroused Harrison's jealously to murderous frenzy and started him to ishooting. Harrison's wife was killed and Young was shot up so badly that it was thought that he would die; but he recovered- Common opinion in t S rW-C;-^? ill m j| 1/jij Mr iidfiHll i * flfj Jjf '1 in 111111I11IIH? 0A, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTJ Greenville had It that Harrison want-J1 eU to kill his wife so he could marry 1i her younger slater, who ha<j been ed- i ucated at his expense, and he wanted i to kill Young so as to justify the killing of his wife. At the trial, how- I evef, he sought to make it appear i that he had shot Young in protection , of his honor, and had shot his wife J, by accident. It was a most noisesome^ mess. Big money had been spent of; course, and the jury had been select- , ed with great care. There would have; been a "mistrial," except for the fact | that Judge Mewininger had made it clear that he would hold the jury un-| till it agreed upon a verdict. Of course; the lawyers for the defense thought this was "horrible." Then there was the usual motion for a new trial,', which motion Judge Memminger ov-. erruled. In sentencing Harrison,' Judge Memminger told him he had. gotton about what was coming to. nun, declaring mat even it fte did not intend to kill his wife, he was guilty | of manslaughter all the same on ac-j count of his reckless disregard of the j lives of the people around him. His honor said that the killing of Monk Young would have probably been a good thing for the community. Also his honor took occasion to remark that men like Harrison might violate the law until they had a contempt for it. but they could rest assured that the law would get them sooner or later. Following notice of appeal Harrison's attorneys sought to have him kept in jail pending disposition of the case by the supreme coutt; but Judge Memminger signed an order for his immediate transfer to Columbia, explaining that, the case is now out of his hands and it is up to the supreme court to do as it sees i/iupci, vi tuuiac 111*J^ ?irt; iiiust* wuui complain that the judge is high-handed; but in point of service he is the oldest man on the circuit bench, and the records show that all of his important rulings are upheld as the best of law. o HOME DEMONSTRATION DEPARTMENT.

Qrape Catsup.?Muscadine grape catsup is a pleasing sauce to serve with :old meats. It is a cheap, easily made pioduct, and keeps well even in an open container. It holds an important place in muscadine grape utilization, because it can be made from varieties which owing to their acidity, are not well adapted for use in other ways. In making catsup the juicy varieties are best, and an acid juicy variety is to be preferred to a very sweet one. To make grape catsup, first weigh and then crush the fruit. Stew the crushed fruit over a slow fire until soft, and then work it through a colender with a spoon, leaving the skins and seeds behind. To the portion which passes through the colander, add for each five pounds of fresh fruit used. 2 1-2 pounds sugar. 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. 1 tablespoon ground allspice. j. luuiespuon ground cioves. 1-2 tablespoon pepper. 1-2 tablespoon salt. 1 pint vinegar. Boil the mixture until slightly thick and then seal it hot in sterilized bottles or fruit jars. Grape Conserve:? 3 pounds grapes. 1 pound sugar. 1-2 pound finely ground raisins. O lo * rnigc ui aiigt*B. 1-2 pound of finely ground pecans or some other nut. Weigh and pulp grapes. Heat the pulps and juice until the pulps break] down enough to liberate the seeds.! Then put pulps through a colander to remove seed. Grind hulls in meat grinder or chop as fine as possible una cook nuns until quite tender,1 adding a little water. Place the hulls and pulp together and add 1 pound sugar, half pound finely ground rais-| ins, the meaty part of two oranges, and 1-5 of the ground seed of one orange. Cook slowly for about an hour or until the mixture is real thick. Then stir into the mixture the ground nuts.

Pour into thick flannel jelly, bag and let it drip into a porcelain vessel until all available Juice it secured. Add a measure of sugar for each measure of juice. Place on stove and stir until sugar dissolves. Let it reach the boiling point, but it must not boil or bubble. As soon as it reaches the boiling point, pour into s.erilized bottles or jars as seal. Two or three tablespoons of this flavoring sirup added to a glass of water or to crushed ice is very refreshing. For punch, use 1 pint of the sirup to each gallon of material. o POINTS THE WAY. The Statement of this Lntta Resident Will Interest Our Readers. Our neighboring town, Latta points the way in the words of one of its most respected residents: Mrs. P. G. Richardson, R. P. D. No. 3. Latta, S. C. says: "I don't really know what caused my kidneys to give me so much trouble some I years ago, but I shall never forget how I suffered. My back just seemed to ache from morning until night antf iit was so sore and weak that I coulfr hardly drag one foot after the other. I suffered like this for a long time and the trouble became more aggravating as the days rolled by. My mother advised me to try Doan's Kidney | Pills, so 1 got a supply and took them according to dirortinna In a j while, Dona's went down to the seat of the trouble, strengthening my back and kidneys and removing all the aches and pains- Doan's made me feel like a different woman." 60c. at all dealers.
