MANY SIGN PETITION. Not a Magie Refusal on the Part of lYojHTty Owners to Sign Btoetftoa Call on Paving Bonds. The petition being circulated by the mnnaginu secretary of the Cham? ber of Commerce asking that city council order an election to decide the ii.sue of bonds for paving streets and sidewalks under the abutting prop? erty taxation plan is being signed gen? erally. Secretary Heardon says he knows of no opposition so far and predicts that he Will secure the neces? sary majority of freeholders to order the election. The process of circu? lating this petition is slower than oth? er petitions on bond issues as a great many of the freeholders are not fa? miliar with the abutting property tax? ation plan and the plan has to be ex? plained. However, as soon as the method is explained freeholders are immediately impressed with the equitable and bus? iness-like plan and almost invariably sign the petition. Not a single freeholder has so far refused to sign, several, however, asking for a little time to consider or consult others with whom they are in? terested in property rights.

The game was five-five in the ninth, but in the extra inning Burress rapped out a long fly for three sacks, bringing in the winning run and winning his own game. The game was an exciting one and both teams did some excellent, as well as some bum work. Tupper starred at the bat for Wedgefield, while several of the Sumter players got good hits. In pitching Burress had slightly the better of White, as he allowed only eight hits to eleven off White. He struck out twelve men to eight that White fanned.

Pi8gah, May 17.?It is sickening to see the destruction of wheat and oats In the storm's wake. Corn and cot? ton shared a like fate. Since the rains oats and wheat have come out a great deal. Oats are too low to cut well, but have tine heads. The stand of cotton is good. Chopping out will commence this week. The prospect for a good crop, is bright. Very little guano is used and a larger acreage of corn is plant? ed. The advanced price of cotton has not caused any reduction in the grain crops, nor any increase in cotton.

In the language of the Department Special: "Plan your home canning work so you will have a quart of fruit and a quart of vegetables lor every day in the year." Let us begin by canning garden peas, beans and ber? ries. Those women in the county who are interested in canning prepare to come to Sumter on June 4th. We shall have with us Mrs. Dora Dee Walker of Appleton and Miss Edith L. Parrott of Winthrop College. Preparation of vegetables: In se? curing a fine quality, much depends upon having the vegetables or fruit freshly gathered, mashed clean, and kept crisp and cool. Have all sur? roundings and utensils spotlessly clean, and carry on all steps from be? ginning to end of any lot of canning as rapidly as possible. First have cans, jars, and lids thoroughly wash? ed and scalded. Sort fruit, discarding' all defective ones, ar . use together those of same size. Blanching is used for many vege? tables and some fruits to shrink them and allow a fuller pack, to make the color better, and to remove certain substances which have a tendency to) soften the vegetable in the can or jar. It consists of plunging the vegetable or fruit into boiling for a short time. Use a wire basket or cheese cloth bag for this. The time for blanching will vary with the maturity of the vege? table. Beans should be bleached un? til tender enough to bend without breaking. Spraying fruit with cold water after blanching will make it firmer. Frequently It Is except corn which may be less full. Canning String Heans. Grade, wash, blanch for 8 minutes and pack according to above instruc? tions; add a mixture of salt and sugar. Mix this in the proportion of one third salt and two-thirds sugar and put 2 level teaspoonfuls in each quart of vegetables and one teaspoonful in each pint. Use this mixture for all vegetables before pouring in the fresh water. Cook for one hour, counting time after boiling point is reached. Use jars with glass lids and wire clamp for intermittent pro? cessing and be sure to seal promptly after each cooking. On the next day ! cook for one hour and on the next day cook for one hour. That is j string beans are cooked for one hour ion each of three successive days, j Cooling. Cool all canned producta j as quickly as possible to stop the cooking which breaks do*' . '.:?e fruit and injures the flavor and color. It is well to plunge cans into very cold water especially when processing in? termittently. Never stack cans close together until entirely cold. Canning Garden Peas. Fol >w same general directions giv en above. Blanch 3 minutes. If .peas are very tender cook 45 minutes first day, 35 minutes second, and tihrd day 1 hour. If peas are medium cook for 1 hour on each of 3 days. Strawberry l*veser\es. Pick over, wash, drain and hull strawberies; then weigh. Fill glass jars with berries. Make a syrup by boiling three-fourths their weight in sugar with water, allowing one cup to each pound of sugar. As soon as syrup reaches boiling point, look at your watch and cook it fifteen min? utes. Add syrup to overflow jars; let stand fifteen minutes, when fruit wilt have sbrunk, and more fruit must be added to fill Jars. Screw on covers, put on a trivet in a kettle of cold water, heat water to boiling point and keep just below boiling point oof hour. i Raspberries may be preserved ist th? same way. fc j Honor Roll.
