to witness big and little cracking
nuts as they pass along the streets.
And w hile a child can, by placing
two nuts together, crack them in
one hand, if they are the big paper
shell variety like those grown
around Wayeross, still they are
just as toothsome as the old hick

our boyhood days . —Wayeross

A gentleman from Asbburn this
week told the Star editor that from
SB.OO to $12.00 per cow a month
can be realized by selling butter
fat. If this is true, or if it is ap
proximately true, eight or ten cows
would go a long way toward mak
ing a living for any Irwin county
family, besides the laud would be
built up wonderfully by keeping
this herd of dairy cows. We are
not urging anything, we simply
suggest that our people investigate
and decide for themselves. —Ocilla

Faith and Works Inseparable.
Dear Editor of Tribune:
Your article entitled “Salvation
by Doing" in last week’s issue of
the Tribune was fine and 1 wish to
say Amen! to every word of it.
You are surely right that no one
can be saved by good works, but
by trusting in the Son of God.
However we should not stress and
cau not stress faith properly apart
from works. Faith and good deeds
should go hand in baud, and if we
try either without the other we
will find ourselves hopeless. lam
convinced that there are as many
people sitting down, doing nothing,
expecting that some how God in
His mercy and goodness will save
them, as there are who are trusting
in their good works to save them.
You made a good shot, Mr.
Editor, but give us another barrel
and emphasize the fact that the
Spirit, which God gives as a result
of faith, will surely bear fruit, and
t his fruit can only come as a result
of applied energy. True faith al
ways accompanies and precedes
works. For "faith without works
is dead.” And if the works are
really good works, they are evi
deuces that we have true faith.
“Show me your faith without
works and I will show you my faith
by my works.” —James.
Fraternally,
T. M Luke.
Here is the second barrel. The
Tribune is a secular patter, publish
ed for people of all denominations
and religions, and as a general pro
position does not discuss religious
topics. But the editor just could
not forego the temptation to
straighten out the error of the
short paragraph in question.
Pastor Luke opens the way for
further brief discussion of the
question involved, How do people
gain a "residence in the New
Jerusalem?” Pastor Luke agrees
that it is by faith and that works
are the evidences of true faith, but
concludes that “Faith and Works
are Inseparable” in the plan of
salvation and quotes James 2 20:
“Faith without Works is dead,”
and follows up as a clincher James’
corollary, “Show me your faith
without works and 1 will show you
my faith by my works.” James
explains his meaning in verses 15
and 10 of the same chapter: “If a
brother or sister be naked and
destitute of daily food, and one of
you say unto them, depart in peace,
be warmed and filled, notwith
standing ye give them not the
things which are needful to the
body; what doth it profit?” In
other words: A prayer that one be
clothed and fed, withholding the
means of clothing and feeding, is
spurious, faithless, and accomplish
es nothing. Pastor Luke makes
the further statement: “True faith
always accompanies and proceeds
works.” The editor would re
write I his sentence thus: Works
fonow fa l l h as evidence of its gen
uineness.” Works is the yard
stick by which faith is measured.
Three positions are extant as
to the plan of salvation, which en
titles one to a “residence in the
New Jerusalem” —by grace through
faith, by good works in administer
ing to suffering humanity, and by
faith and works opera) ing conjoint

The issuing of forty-six marriage
licenses —eighteen for white coup
les and twenty eight for colored
couples—is spoken of as evidence
that there are no hard times in
Lowndes county.
Elder G. Tom West has been
called to and accepted the pastor
ate of Bridgeboro Baptist church,
Worth county for half time. He
has gone back among the friends
of his youth and young manhood.
There is some talk of organizing
a Primitive Baptist Church at a
point on the Axson road, two and
a half miles south of Douglas. A
brush arbor lias been erected and
Elder L. M. Guthrie preached there
last Sunday.
The Tribune wishes the efforts
to save the Hawkinsvilie and
Florida Southern railroad from the
junk pile will meet with better
success than to save the Valdosta,
Moultrie and Western. It is stated
that a strong pull is being made to
save it.
The new dormitory of the South
Georgia State Normal college for
women was completed last week
and formally opened with a house
warming, at which was gathered
many of the citizens of the little
city to admire the work of their
hands —its beauty, convenience
and comfort.
The Berrien county monument
erected in the memory of her boys
who were victims of the world war,
is completed and stands on the

The South Georgia Conference
of the A. M. E. church was held in
Ocilla last week. It was presided
over by Bishop .1. S. Flipper, who
is remembered as Lieut. Flipper,
a graduate of the United States
Military Academy at West Point,
lie was born and reared in Thomas
ville, and was a protege of Repub
lican congressman Dick Whiteley.
Flipper’s fat her was very much op
posed to his boy’s military career
and was not surprised when, after
his graduation, he was made pay
master of white troops and got
himself into trouble, which result
ed in his resigning anti leaving for
ever the military service.
but have eternal life.” This means
that man, by believing in God’s
only begotton Son, could regain
spiritual life.
4th. Eternal life —spiritual life
—state of salvation —is the result
of Faith in the atoning sacrifice of
Jesus Christ on Calvary’s cross.
Good works follows the exercise of
belief, faith, that one may know
that he has passed from spiritual
death unto spiritual life.
The Apostle Paul defines faith
to be "the substance of things hop
ed for, the evidence of things not
seen." —Heb. 11, 1. Jesus, in John
6. 28-29, gives a definition of good
works to some folks who asked
Him the direct question: “What
shall we do that we may work the
works of God?” His answer was:
"This is the work of God, that ye
believe on him whom he hath
sent.”
Thus the editor reaches the con
elusion that it is by Faith one is
entitled to a “residence in the New
Jerusalem.” "Not by Works lest
one should boast” for God must
have all the glory. "All of Him
i and none of self.”
State Baptist Convention.
The one hundredth session of
the State Baptist Convention be
gan in Savannah Wednesday and
will adjourn to-night —holding a
three days session.
It is stated that the past year
has been a most fruitful one in
the number of accessions to the
churches- It is believed that the
reports from the affiliated associa
tions will show a gain of about
forty thousand.
'this, of course, docs not repre
sent the real number of additions
to Baptist ranks, for the reason
that there arc a number of Baptist
associations that does affiliate with
the Convention. It is, however,
numerically and financially the
strongest body of Baptists in the
State.
A member of the body makes
t his statement: “Before adjourn
ing it will lay plans for observance
of the centennial of the convention
next year. It is expected that the
convention will meet in Macon,
which is the most convenient point
to the spot where the convention
was organized in 1822. Powelton
is the historic church where the
convention was organized, and front
Macon some contact can be made
with this old church and thus
commemorate the occasion with
every possible dignity. It is not
far from Powelton to Kiokee, the
site of the first Baptist church ever
organized in Georgia. And it is
not a great span from Kiokee to
Penfield, where Mercer university
was first established. All of these
historic places will be remembered
in planning the centennial conven
tion.”

The Arbucie Case.
The Savannah News draws this
lesson from the Arbucie trial. The
lesson is apt and well presented
but, alas, how few of our young
people who have had access to the
details of the dirty story, will see
and heed them:
“It is very unlikely that Ar
buckle, after the mistrial in his
case, will ever face a jury again as
a result of the death of Miss
Rappe. So the case may be consid
ered closed in its major phases.
Several things may be said about
the whole sorry business. One is
that Arbuekle himself is no doubt
of no value to the motion picture
industry; nobody wants to see him
in pictures again. And this is a
good thing for the movies. When
such a popular favorite can destroy
himself from a professional point
of view as he has done, selfishness
alone will tend to prevent others
from being carried away by their
easy money and temporary fame.
“Another thing that strikes the
reader of the story of the result of
the jury’s deliberations in the case
is the attitude of one of the wo
man jurors. She stuck to the end
for conviction and no amount of
argument seems to have made the
slightest impression on her deter
mination to vote to convict. Her
opinion of the stubborn ten who
refused to agree with her has not
all been printed, ro doubt.
“The sooner Arbuekle fades out
and is forgotten, the better it will
be. It is pleasanter to think of
the movies as the fine entertain
ment they can be, than to have
memory of Arbuekle come into the
mind at the very mention of the
movies. The industry has learned
that it must cater to public taste
not only in the sort of pictures it
makes, but also to a very large ex
tent in the personal character of
the people who appear in pictures.
And that is a good thing.”
HOW TO MAKE BEST LARD.
Best Quality Comes from Fat
Surrounding the Kidneys.
Although lard is often consider
ed a by-product, it is one of the
most important of the various
foods to be found within the well
stuffed hide of the fat hog. Fat
makes up a high percentage of the
dressed weight and therefore, a
good deal of care should ho exercis
ed in preparing and preserving the
lard made from it.
LEAF LARD IS HIGHEST GRADE.
Lard comes from various parts
of the hog and the quality varies
with its source. The leaf or kidney
fat that clings to the back walls of
the abdominal cavity yields the
best grade of lard. Persons ex
perienced in butchering remove
these layers of fat first in order to
facilitate cooling of the meat. The
removal is best accomplished by
peeling the fat upward with the
fingers, beginning at the bottom.
The kidneys, which are in this fat,
are removed. The leaf fat is then
hung up to cool.
The fat on the intestines and
the membranes connecting them is
known as “gut fat.” It often lias
a rather strong odor and is gener
ally kept separate from the other
lard stock and rendered by itself.
It should be thoroughly washed
and left in cold water for several
hours before rendering.
The leaf fat makes the best lard,
but the back strips of the side also
makes a good quality, as do the
trimmings of the ham, shoulder
and neck. Leaf fat, back strips,
and fat trimmings may be render
ed together.
To obtain the best and clearest
lard it is necessary, first, to re
move all skin and lean meat from
the trimmings. To do this cut the
fat into strips about 1 1-2 inches
wide, then place the strip on the
table, skin down, and cut the fat
from the skin. When a piece of
skin large enough to grasp is freed
from the fat, take it in the left
hand and with the knife held in
the right hand inserted between
the fat and the skin, pull the skin.
The strips of fat should then be
cut into pieces and hashed on
ground.
TO RENDER FAT WITHOUT BURNING
When the fat is ready for render
ing, pour into the kettle about a
quart of water and (ill it nearly
full with fat cuttings. The fat will
theii heat aud the grease will be
brought out without burning.
Render the lard over a moderate
fire. At the beginning it is best
to have the temperature around
100 degrees, F., and it should be
gradually brought up to 240 de
grees. When the cracklings begin
to brown reduce the temperature
to approximately 200 degrees, but
not to exceed 212 degrees, to pre
vent scorching. Frequent stirring
is necessary to provent burning.
When the cracklings are
thoroughly browned and light en
ough to float, the kettle should be
removed from the fire. The lard
is then pressed from the cracklings.
Then-strain it through a muslin
cloth into the containers, and to
aid cooling stir it frequently. Stir
ring also tends to whiten the pro
duct and improves the grain, an
important point to consider if the
lard is to be sold. White lard also
helps the appearance of the dishes
in the preparation of which it is
used.
Lard which is to be kept for a
considerable time will remain in
better condition if placed in air
tight containers and stored in the
Cellar or other convenient place
away from the light. These pre
cautions have much to do in pre
venting rancidity. Fruit jars make
excellent containers for lard, be
cause they can be completely seal-1
ed. Glazed earthenware containers!

Pruning Shade Trees.
As the season for pruning and
shaping shade trees approaches, it
seems well to call attention to
some of the general principles
which should govern the operation
of pruning.
The objects of pruning are:
first, to improve the shape and ap
pearance of the tree; and second,
to preserve the health and vigor
of the tree. To develop a proper
ly shaped head, the pruning should
be done while the trees are young.
At this time the branches are
small and the wounds made in re
moving them heal over rapidly
with little danger of infection by
decay producing fungi. As the
trees near maturity pruning should
be limited to tiie necessary thin
ning and the removal of dead
or dying branches. Mature trees
should never be cut back or “De
horned” in order to make a lower
head.
It is well to remember that the
heart wood is dead and, when ex
posed, is very easily attacked by
decay organisms. The white sap
wood is still living and, therefore,
much more resistant. If the heart
wood once becomes infected, the
decay soon spreads throughout
the body of the tree. The removal
of a large branch from a tree is as
hazardous to the life of the tree as
the amputation of a limb is to man.
When such ail operation be
comes necessary, the cut should bo
made clean and close up to the
trunk of the tree, being careful
that the branch does not break
aud split down the trunk. Never
leave a long stub attached to the
tree. On most species it is impos
sible for such a stub to heal over
in time to prevent decay from set
ting in. As soon as the branch
has been removed, the wound
should be smoothed off; and es
pecially the heart wood, should be
painted with asphalt. When a
small branch is removed and the
heart wood is not exposed, paint
ing is not necessary or desirable.
B. B. Higgins,
Botanist.
such as crocks and jars, may also
be used.
All containers should be steriliz
ed before filling, and if covers are
placed on the crocks or jars, they
should be sterilized before use.
Lard stored in air tight containers
away from the light has been found
to keep in perfect condition for
several years.
REMOVING LARD FROM CONTAINERS
In order to have the lard keep
well in the jars that have been
opened for use it should be remov
ed evenly all the way across. Do
not dig down into the lard and
take out a large spoonful, leaving a
well with a lot of surface exposed.
A thin coating left around the
walls of the containers is almost
sure to turn rancid because of the
action of the air.
Lard is not a hard product to
handle, time and in putting it
away will insure a product that
will be better than the kind the
average man makes. If you have
customers for the surplus, this
little difference, as in the ease of
sausage, hams and bacon, will help
greatly in building up and main
taining a good demand. —U. S.
