Jfll. JONES GIVES VIEWS
The following crtlclc appeared in
last week's- Frankllnton News:
An article appeared ou the edi
torial page of The Franklin Times,
Feb. 9, 1923, which IS similar to
what happened to a man about the
first of June. He was gol!ig down
from Franklnton to Loulsburg on
a political trip and fell among
thieves v ho. stripped him of his
political rights, leaving him dead
politically. By chance there came
down some political priests, re
joicing that they had h'ni out of
the way, and they passed by on
the other side.
Likewise the Levltes when he
was at the same place, came and
looked upon him and passed him
by, but some Samaritans, as they
Journeyef], came where he was.
When they saw him they had com
passion on him and restored to
him the political rights.
He started again on his Journey
in an effort to ftilflli his pledge by
writing some resolutions
For this he has fallen In the
bands of somo one else who haa
attacked in an effort to take from
h* m his principles and character
by bringing false accusations.
Some think the article was writ
ten by Prof. Best. He does not
(or he believes Mr. Best Is too
i much of a hlghtoned Christian
gentleman to write such an arti
cle. The person writing seimed
!to think when any one differs
with him. he is a poor, Ignorant
A* the article appeared in the
editorial columns somo think it
was the Mftor. Bat surely he
t > was t*o much of a gentleman to
hav* written such an article, as
he la ? fyui who Will not cheat,
wrong or defraud or apeak evil
of aaoti&r's good hartie
(8ign?d) JT. R. JONES.
We are reproducing the above ar
ticle tor tiro reasons Flrtt, Mr. Jones
tia so titled that hia view* to be given
I the pw publicity as the article he
took WoefUttM to. Bran though he
haa not requested it, the apace la
cheerfully given.
Second, he has brought a serious
charge against the election officials
of Harris township, two-thirds of
whom are of the Bame political faith
as he ? Democrats ? that we feal it is
our duty to defend.
The first needs no discussion. The
second is what we propose to discuss.
The incident he refers to about "He
| was going from FrankltntoD to Louis
burg on a political trip and fell
among thieves" about the first ot
June was evidently on Monday, the
5th, when the Board of Elections and
the township olection officials met, to
canvass the vote of the primary At
this time the canvas sshowed that
Mr. Jones had been defeated. In a
few days it was learned that an error
?[ipear<Sd in the returns from Harris
township and an Laves Ligation proved
iL to be only an error :n copying the
returns, however it re-Instated Mr.
Jonas, as a party nominee. In Har
ris township the primary election
was conducted by Messrs, J. B. King,
Osfcar Hagwood and J. T. Mann. These
men are among -Franklin County's
most honorable, honest and trust
worthy men, enjoying the confidence
and respect of their fellow-men, {heir
community and their parties, and we
resent in the strongest terms possi
ble any suggestion, either directly or
indirectly that the3e men or either
of them are thieves, political or othr
erwise. We can't get the consent of
our mind to believe that Mr. Jones
intended to intimate such a' charge,
and suggest that he hasten to make
the proper apologies to these gentle
men, who occupy as hi"h places In
the confidence of Franklin county's
people as he.
The reference he made to THE
FRANKLIN TIMES and its editor is
entirely all right and we have no de
sire to say more, than it is possible
that we are entirely ignorant in this
matter and that Mr. jonef. is the
"wise man." We owe Mr. %Jones an
apology if the people elecred him to
take charge of the entire County and
transac* its business, educational as
well as general. We owe him an
apology if ho It right in giving $250
to a Military CotJipany, whose duty It
is to kill, and deny the unfortunate
children and grown-ups the benefits
they derive from the Wolrat-e Depart
ment in order to save $900.00 We
owe him an apology If he is right to
defeat the compulsory educational
law, thereby denying to the children
of Franklin county a God given right
to enter life on an equal with their
neighbors, for the purpose of saving
$900, and which would not reduce tax
es one penny.
We owe Mr. Jones an apology If he
Is right giving piping to Hayesville
township to put across public roads,
when they have refused to build roads,
thereby making the other nine town
ships pay for the material for Hayee
vllle, after they had Issued bonds and
paid for their own.
We owe Mr. Jones an apology If he
Is right In having two prisoners re
lieved of road duty after they had
been convicted and sentenced for
crime.
We have always bad a high regard
and deep respect for Mr. Jones and
we yet hope tha the will see thp "er
ror of his Way" ?n(J that he will meas
ure up to our expectations.

Student Editorial ? "The Purpose and
..Use of an Education"
(My Mattie Dement, 8th Grade)
We must look first to. the family as
the most Important arrangement for
the education of the young citizen.
But if they were left entirely to the
family however, it would be unequal
ly provided. Many of the citizens 6t
the U. S. are foreigners and these
would have practically no chance for
an education. Also if education was
left to the family the people of wealth
would take pride only In the educa
ion of their own children, and would
not care for the education of the poor
children. Thus the state must pro
vide the plan for an education so there
will be an equal opportunity for all.
A child is educated that he may not
only get more out of life, but that he
may be able to give more to the up
building of the community. Our na
tion is Investing millions of dollar*
In the education of boys and glrlB ex
peeling Its return to be increased.
School Is a place for preparing for
life, and If truly life itself. K.luca
tion Is not only a privilege. It la a
outy, because every citizen owes it to
his community to equip himself to
render the best citizenship posKUile.
We must and do expect more ffom
the educated man than from an un
educated one. Education la not In
tended to relieve a person from hard
work but to fit him for more and
tetter work than he could do other
wise.

Home Can n lag of Fruits and \e?re
tabl*? by H. 3Ulling?, Jr.
Canning It one of the most deni
able means 6f preserving fruits and
vegetables; for It presorvee these
foods In condition more like that of
I the freshly cooked product than la
the case with dried, brined or pickled
i*roMa or vegetables . Canned product*
are worthy of a larger share of the
houaawlf*. consideration than ih?y
usually receive. They help to make
us healthier and better nourished; to
provide a pleasing variety of succul
ent, tender young fruits and vegeta
bles throughout the wnter instead of
having them only during the few days
or weeks when they are in full season;
and to save food that wuuld otherwise
go to waste.
Food spoils because of the growth
of very small plants or microorga
nisms, of varldbs kinds, such as yeast,
molds, and bacteria. Therefore It is
essential in the preserving of foods
to kill the growth of microorganisms
in them, this is done to a certain ex
tent by cooklnp- and steaming the fruits
ar.d vegetables ? However as It is im
practicable to kill all the bacteria by
cooking, we have to look other means
of preventing their growth. This is
done by sealing In air tight jarj as the
bacteria not killed by cooking <wlll
not grow without air.
Processing. The fruit or vegetable
may be processed, or cooked loefde
I the can or Jar, In several different
[ways; by, heating the sealed or part
ially sealed Jar under steam pressure
;by the use of canners made specially
for that purpose. By heating the can
'cr jar in a water bath or steam bath. ,
The water /zt steam is kept boiling
'continuously for a length of time re
quired to secure satisfactory results
[with the fruit or vegetaole. This is the
("one-period" or "continous" process.
By heating the can or Jar in a water
bath for two or three periods, with
Intervals between the periods of from
'6 to 24 hours, depending on the cli
matic conditions and products canned.
This is known as the fractional or In
termittent or three period process.
Selection of fruits and vegetables.
Use only fresh, sound vegetable for
canning. No| products wjilch are
withered or unsound should be canned,
i Can all young Vegetables and soft
fruits the same day they are gathered
faud as Boon after gathered as possible;
I within 3 or 4 hours. Sort and grade
according to size and degree of ma
turity. Only those vegetaoles which
are In choice ( condition for the table
that Is your.g, tender, and fresh ? are
. suitable for canning.
| When cold, store the Jars in a
,cool, dark, dry place where there Is
no danger in freezing. Prom time to
j time, especially during very hot weath
ii, all canned products shculd be ex
amined to make sure that there are
(no leaks or signs of fermentation Qr
spoilage.
