Information of Value to Housekeepers. ? - . y Washington. July 2T.^-Frtlit for use In pie or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned Without the use of sny( sugar at all, according to ths canning speclallst? of the depart? ment. They, therefore, advise (hose who, because of the high price of sugar, have been thinking of reducing the amount of fruit they put up, to can as much of their surplus as pos? sible by the use of bolting water When sugar syrup la beyond their means. Any fruit, they say, may be success? fully sterilised and retained In the pack by simply adding boiling water Instead ef the hot syrup. The use of sugar, of course, is desirable in the1 canning of all kinds of fruits and makes a better and ready sweetened product. Moreover, most of the fruits %keo cowed io water alone do net re? tain their natural rferor, texture und a* weil ?> frtwt put Op In ayruy endatett I^M to W used ucee or desserts; must be-sweet onof DgflCK ms for Conning Fruits With? out Syrup. Can the product the same day It la picked. Cull, stem, or seed, and clean the fruit by placing U In a strainer and pouring water over it until it clean. Pack the product thoroughly In glass iars or tla cans until they are full; use the handle of a tablespoon wooden ladle, or table knife for pack lng purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle, place rubbers and cape in position, partially seal If using glass Jars, seal com pletely If using tin cans. Place the containers in a steril sing vat such as a wash boiler with false bottom, or other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath outfit, process for SO minutes; count time after the water has reached the tolling point; the water must cover the highest Jar In container. After sterilising remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap In paper to prevent bleach? ing and store In a dry, cool place. If you are canning In tin cans It will improve the produce to plunge the cans quickly Into cold water Imme1 dlately after sterilization. When using a steam pressure runner In? stead of the hot water bath, sterilize for 10 minutes with five pounds of steam pressure. Never allow the pres? sure to go over 10 pounds. Auto Damaged by Fire, lest night about 9:30 o'clock an alarm of fire war, turned In from box 87, the cause being an automobile which had caught on fire. The car belonged to Mr. H. W. Woodward of Bishopvlllc, and was In charge of a negro driver at the time. The blaze was caused by crossed wires catching the gasoline on fire. The blaze was extinguished by tbe hand chemical brought by the department, which re? sponded at once to the alarm. Dr. Carl B. Epps, who has been In New York for the past two months taking a speclul course in surgery, has returned to the city and resumed his practice of medicine. Besides com? pleting the course In New York, Dr. Epps visited the hospitals In Phila? delphia and Baltimore before return? ing to Sumter. Now is the time to see that all tin cans und receptacles capable of hold? ing Water are emptied. If the water is allowed to remain a plague of mos qoltoes may be expected.

Virgil Follen dore, Who was arrested on a telegram and letter from "Sheriff L, W. Hudson and Deputy Sheriff L. D. Hutsdn, of Spaulding county, Ga. The charge was desertion from the army. A re? ward of ?"<' wm offered for tne arrest and Sheriff Rector *<id that he would! ghac fite toon f with ihe prisoner, at* ter hearing rrts story hi which the | ?tariff was Interested, Follendore M Id he was a member of the National Guard of Georgia and left the camp at Grlflln, Ga., because he was en? listed under a misapprehension. He said he enlisted for the sake of Geor? gia but had not signed the new en? listment card, so he didn't think the consequences would be serious. He said a man might stay away from camp 10 days and not be accounted a deserter, the period from camp known as "French leave." Follendore was arrested In the Judson mill. He was at work In the dye plant and said he received more money than the super? intendent. He drew a roll from his pocket declaring this was one day's pay. Furthermore, he claimed to know the secret of making German dyes, and had beert offered a half million dollars.

' l>ate last night Sheriff Rector had a talk with Capt. Beck, commander of one of the com? panies in the Second Ceorgla regiment in which Follendore was a trooper. "Capt. Beck," said the sheriff, "told me that Follendore was an actual de? serter." Sheriff Rector said he expect? ed to leave Wednesday for Macon ami that he would be accompanied by the prisoner. Capt.

Greenville News, Governor Manning. The first time I ever* called upon Gov. Manning was shortly after his in? auguration. I called to urge him to veto a bill which was improperly against this paper. The governor did not veto the bill. Like many others t was very much incensed. Fourteen months have come and gone since then. On every side I nee what Mr. Manning has meant to South Carolina. Racing at once stopped. That shrewd scheme ?or filching mon? ey, for ensnaring young clerks into gambling was given Its sentence of doom when the election of Mr. Man? ning became a certainty. What does that mean to the moral tone of South Carolina? You Ynen Who have sons, what do you think about it? Mr. Manning began his term by con? tributing from his own pocket two thousand four hundred dollsrs to make out the salary required to get the right man ' as superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane. This pa? per regretted his doing so at the time, but the results prove the governor's wisdom in so doing. The new super* intendent effected a saving in the asylum of thirty-four ^otHtend dot* lars, by being a level-hadj^f busmefcs man as ell as a capuB Brpecialitt. The governor asks if that fcjgood busi? ness. We must say, yes. "Mr. Man? ning's handling of the asylum lias been greatly to his credit and to* the comfort and beter care of the in? mates. > Gov. Manning, through kfs experi? ence as a banker and by his' efforts? borrowed money for the Statte at tWe lowest rate ever known Tier* and re? funded some bonds, a saving in inter? est alone of about $20,000 a year, as 1 remember. What' do you think of that for good buslhess? Gor.* Man? ning approved sortie blllfi In the Inter** est of the workers In the Cotton mills, and now the most influential'cotton mill presidents are not only a garnet him, but active In theif tight on Mr. Manning. By signing such bills Govr Manning lost some of his long-time friends, but what do you think alour those bills? Are cotton mill presidents to make the lavs of the State?' They were given a hearing. 'What greater courtesy could the governor have shown? The mill presidents should make their fight against the tegisla? ters, if they must flgftt.

Primarily all law enforce? ment rests with magistrates and slier-' iflfs, as well aa jd'rles, and full 'credlr must always be given' these official* throughout the State; but none the less the governor of this State has en? tered upon the duties of his office so whole-heartedly 1 that sheriffs **m*f magistrates know that behind rnem 1k the supporting arm'of the1 State all the power of the governor's officer I* can personally testify; after visitors all parts of the state, that CoW Man? ning has done a full part in improving the conditions In South Carolina.

Since the tirst and blithest duty of a government Is to enforce law and maintain order Gov. Manning must be accounted one of 'the most successful governors in the history of the commonwealth.

He gives himself without stint to the service of the* State and gives a patient, courteous hearing to every man who calls upon him. The State will honor Itself !tf re-electing Mr. Manning. Do we \tant a man who lives above faction? alism, who treats all men of the State as citizens, instead of as men of a faction? I think we do, and I think the people of the State will endorse ?OV.
