REPUBLICAN FRAUDS
The republicans are depending
oa fraud and trickery to carry the
election for Me. Taft. In the first
place, the Trusts have been requests
ed, as their contribution to republi
can success to put all their men to
work, so as to look like a return of
prosperity, and as soon as the elec
tion is over, many of these men are
to be put off to loaf again., Fraud
the second, Mr. Chas. P, Taft has
purchased the Baltimore Sun, an
oid Democratic paper, and is now,
of covrse, supporting his brother
with it as a bolting Democratic pa
per, when it is siniply a change of
ownership. The Republicans know
that the honest Americans are go
ing to to elect that great statesman
from N.braska, and they are resort.
ing to fraud, coercion and trickery
to prevent it, but this 1s a democrat

Raising Pickles is a Profitahle
: Occupation for Women
If she lives in the country, and
has even an acre of ground at her
disposal, a woman can make money
raising cucumbers and making pick
les. As soon as the vines begin to
bear, go over them carefully every
day and pick all that are large
enough for pickles, put them in cold
;w-xter, and wash them when putting
them down. The water that drips
from them Is all thot is needed for
the brine; more will make them soft
Sixteen-or twenty-gallon kegs are
the best for putting them down.
Sprinkle salt thickly on the bottom
then put in a large layer of salt, and
so on. Trim the head of the keg
just enouvgh for it to slip in and out
easily, place it on the cucumbers,
and put a weight on it. Tack a
cloth on the keg’and keep in a cool
place. If in two or three days the
pickles are not well covered with
brine, use mcre salt.
Let them stand in the brine a
month at least, then take out as
many as can be packed up in a day.
Put them to svak in plenty of water,
changing it once a day until the salt
is nearly all out; they will not be
good if too fresh. Then take out
and let drain while preparing the
pickle. Put to heat, in porcelain
kettles, two quarts of vinegar and
two teacupfuls of sugar for each gal
lon of pickles; add cayenne pepper
and spice to taste. Use the whole
spices and tie up in small bags.
When the vinegar comes to the boil
ing- point, take out spices and' put
in the pickles. Let scald for thirty
‘minutes and seal up in pint jars;
also seal up a dozen or so small
bottles for samples.
Use pure cider vinegar and buy it
by the barrel
After sealing let the pickles stand
two weeks, then take the samples
and leave at private residences in
your neatest town. In a few days
go around and take orders. . Itis no
more beneath a woman’s dignity to
take orders for pickles than it 1s to
take orders for books, and they are |
in much greater demand.—NEgw

Election Next Tuesday
On next Tuesday, Nov. 3rd,
Georgia will hold an election to
votes for Presidential electors, Con
gressmen and to pass on an amend
ment to the state constiwution pro
viding for Confederate Veterans
and their widows, The amend
ment. which we published in fuil
last week, is not supposed to in
creass taxes, as the mortality tables
would indicate a decrease in num
bers by the time the bill could be
put into effect, sufficient to offset
those who are not now on the pen
sion roll, Aside from our duty to
support the democratic ticket next
Tuesday, every democrat should go
to the polls next Tuesday and cast
his ballot for the amendment to
place all wocthy ex-confederate sol
diers and ex-confederate soldiers’
widows, who are not now drawing
a pension, and who are not worth
wmore than SISOO, on the pay roil.
Come out and cast your ballot for
a worthy cause, S

[Fecent years, and Georgia, in plac
ing convicts on the road, has taken‘
a step which will mean unprecedeat
ed progress in the betterment of her
public road. 1
Let’s consider Madison county,
Tennessee, for a moment. After
hard work, sacrifices, and overcom
ing almost insurmountal le obstables
the county voted $300,000 bonds
for good roads. Splendid pikes be- ‘
gan to radiate out from Jackson. |
- Many farmers opposed that mcve
ment. They said it was useless bur
dening of people already groaningj
under taxes. One man fought it so
bitterly that it became necessary to
condemd his property for road pur-i
poses. His lands were not vulucd%
higher than $8 to 10 an acre be
fore the road came. He was so in
censed that he sacrificed his pr()])cr-j
ty and moved away. The pike wasl
built, and that same land can not be
purchased for $25 an acre now. ‘
Madison county found that S3OO -
000 would not complete the roads, l
A second bond issue of $200,000
was proposed. It carried without
trouble. Men who had bitterly op
posed the first bond issuc voted eag
erly for the second. It had paid.
That is the difficulty, it is found,
in all good road movements. Farm
ers are unwilliag to be taxed for such
purposes, because they do not real
ize to the fullest how fine roads
through their property means a sav-‘
ing in many ways, and is almost in-i
variably followed by increased value
of farm lands,
WoMmaN'S HoME CoMPANION AT A
- New Price
The increase in the price of paper
'has been a factor in forcing another
’one of our magazines to increase in
price. The WOMAN’:;(IIOME CoM
PANION, preparing to give its read
ers a bigger and better magazine,
will raise its price from 10 cents to
15 cents a copy, and from SI.OO to
$1.25 a year in a few weeks.
This advance is in part due to the
increased size and value of the mag
azine, and in part to the increased
price of paper, which is affecting
every publisher 1n she United States,
““Aim high” is a noble aspiration,
but the trouble is that most of us
are so all fired near-sighted.
SUPERIOR COURT
l Promptly at ten o’clock last Tues.
day morning Judge T. A. Parker
Icalled the October term of Supericr
Court. The session was opened
with prayer by Rev. G. L. Jones,
pastor of the Folkston Baptist
church. The Grand Jury was then
sworn in and Mr. J. 8. Mizell was
'chosen as its foreman. Judge Park
er, in his charge to the jury, sawd
he did not intend to make a lengthy
talk as he was sufferirg from a se
vere cold and did not feel physical
ly able to say much. - In his talk,
which lasted about fifty minutes, he
advanced some forcible ideas’ in re
gards to gambling, pistol carrying
etc,, laying particular stress on the
enforcement of the law in all such
violations of the law. The Judge
touk occasion more than once to
refer to the Graad Jury in a com
plimentary manner on its maturity
(there being no real young men on
it ) and dwelt several minutes upon
the merits and advautages of good
roads in the county, saying that one
can judge of the progressiveness of
a county or community by simply
driving over the roads. He remind
ed us that it has been learned that
the farmers’ loss 1s $50,000,000 per
annum ou account of*bad roads.
After the call of the cocket court
adjourned until one o’clock, 1
: “The time of the Court was taken
up mainly with the civil business, ‘
there being several pleas entered in
which nominal fines were assessed,
