■df hie! I II I ■ ,q jeosa diouli, be iiiv * -d in thi> » ;ion than in gny other. Farther north .hey are not hardy and .must be win ;ered in a or “pit’. In he real North fbey a lre called par- j lenias, and are a.V expensive as that sounds. Farther soWh they grow in o small trees. I’Aeven heard of ■hic.kens roosting ip \hem and of. eather beds Rein* sunVed on them, j 3ut here they look after I :hemselvs and Still are pire enoughj ;0 be a choice flower; which, as has' Decn said, sems to me best of all. -So on CANNING A lady wrote asking how to can j snaps, tomatoes, etc. when one does not have a canner. Not having had one since our house burned over two vears ago, I have been ysing substi tutes quite successfully. Anything that will hold the jarsj and enough' ■water to cover them call be used—a lard can, a very large preserving ket tle, a wash-boiler, a small galvanized tub. But it must havt a close-fitting lid, and the jars mnst not b? set flat on the bottoiA. Under them* may be a wooden rack, ,screen wire, woven closely, or even several thicknesses of j heavy cloth —for instance, a feed ! sack folded. Because the printed directions al ways say “use young, tender snaps,” and because there are so many ideas about what that means, I string my snaps and after washing them well,: put them on in clear water and boil them till they are tender. The time this takes depends upon the snaps and T never look at the clock it. By j the time they are tender, Ithe jars should be clean and hot. With good tops and new rubbers. I fill the jars | with snaps, and a teaspoonf|il of salt: t< each jar and pour in enough of I the water they wore boiled if to over flow the jar. Seal the jar* tightly, put them in whatever you ise for a canner, being careful not to let the jars touch each other. Long strips of cloth may be w&ufld r< und the, jars, passing between them. Be sure, to have the wateiyliot wher the jars are put in to hojf. Cover t tern with j hot water and niti on the cl< se-fitting lid of the lard/can, <r wha ever you n ,e using. 800 the jars so at least an hour and a half. When tiiken out some may need to he sealAl rnorej closely. Try them and see. If a rub-, her should be sprung, take if off and put on a new one. putting that jar back in the boiling water a few minutes. Store the jars in a cool, dark place where you can watch them for about ten days. Using this method, T have lost only one jar in more than two years. Be sure to pick 1 your snaps the day you can^.them. —o — / Tomatoes are easy. and peel them, heat them to b/iling. skim, pack into the jars, add/a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespi*>nful of sugar to each quart, seal tl/e jars and boil as you do the snaps, hut for only thirty minutes. Aiul T don't bother about canning thenVwhole. nor about, making a frank uaak. Life ton short and too busy/or me to spend any of it poking things intoS'lass jars a niow at a time 4o he putStwav out IbrJErim \on jßrrord until I open it myself to serve tin. ton it' os are watery, I tly cook rii.*m until the water tially evaporated before put on into ■ jars. And I iften aste instead of measure in the ised. corn: I simply wouldn’t bo ll canning that unless I had re cooker. It needs to be cut > cob hot -after being cooked *w minutes —and then cooked minutes more before being n the jars with salt and hot Ided. And one must be care to fill jars too full of corn, ne wants to boil the jars orning of three days, they boiled for at least four hours as packed. Personally, 1 d it grits than do all hat. for a pressure cooker, one can quite sure of corn. Use pint ou try it. —o— up mixture one of the i’opor gs is to remember to lave as imato, by measure, as of ig else together. Experts i to use only tomatoes, corn, ns, and okra; but I like to rsley, and a little green pep vever, I do not put in pota ,ns or carrots, which I can the winter. No use wasting pace. I cook all the vegetables .irately until done, then mix them, heat again, fill the jars, seal them land boil for at least an hour and | half. It is better to go a little ov j time than under. These directions are all based those given Home Demonstrati ' rlubs by county agents. I have wr I ten our agent asking that she sei. ! the lady wanting directions a copy i ithe canning bulletin. But, w ith a (due respect to the bulletin. I like m. I wav of canning snaps better than an' other. I get so many in a can, ami I % ve don’t care if they don’t look quite j so pretty as the others. —o — As a final touch in canning I find it a good thing to take a knife handle or something of that sort and press the edge of the jar tops down upon the rubbers. If there, should be any place where air might enter, this helps 'to make a perfect seal. Bun the rounded edge of the handle all around the top, pressing hard. Do this as soon as the jars are sealed and while still very hot, just after taking them from the boiling water. Two Young Men Arrested Robert L. Ray, or., and Thomas Ray, sons of Robert L. Ray. promi nent Selma attorney, were in jail in | default of SI,OOO bond each after of i ficers found 5,000 cartons of cigar ettes allegedly stolen in their homes. The brothers, graduates of the Uni versity of North Carolina, took a prominent part in the community life in Selma. Officers said they believed the ■ brothers were members of the Stan ley gang, an organized band of j thieves, which has been operating in this section. The leader Red Stanley was sentenced tq State prison recent ly- Two Men And ; A Still Captured i Zebulon, July 11.—This morning Deputy Sheriff G. C. Massey ,his son, G. C. Massey, and others raided a j still-in full operation on Little River 'about 300 yards west of Herbert Hood’s home. The officers captured 11. H. Hood and Frank Hood. A third man escaped. The still was of 45- gallon capacity, made of copper throughout. Eight gallons of whis key and 75 gallons of mash were de stroyed. The two men were carried to Ral eigh. taken before a committing of ficer and gave bond. Some time ago two other brothers of this family were convicted of making whiskey and were sentenced to the roads by the local ecorder’s Court. They ap pealed the decision to the hygher court, where the sentence was chang ed to a fine.—News and Observer.

They were paid in confederate money or merchandise. The merchandise j consisted of meat, flour, meal, coffee, i ; sugfir, rice, candy, beer and rum, and | other things in the line of groceries, } fancy and staple. Then there were those fancy Sunday straw-bonnets , and hoop skirts. In those days no rags were thrown ’ away, every little* scrap was saved I until about a pound or more were J gotten together, then they were sold I by the pound. She does not remember, ■ the price paid for the rags. Some J were hand woven, some were “store ! bought” and sometimes there were 1 some real pretty good sized noes. Mrs. Temples says she was given ; the privilege of going into the “l ag room” to pick out a very few of the j ■! pretty rags to make doll dresses. She thought this was one of the finest places in the world, “The rag room.” I When enough rags had been bought to make a load thev were hauled by “Uncle Fill” a colored man, in a cov ered wagon, drawn by horses, to the paper mill at Milburnie. This trade was carried on until the j Civil War began. Her father did not i have to go until the fourth year of j the war, when the men at the age of j forty-five were taken. He served on year and when he came home the store and rag business was all over., the money was changed and hard times began. MRS. L. R. TEMPLES (Contributed by request.)

This change is said to provide bet- j ter educational opportunity and less j duplication of courses in the insti-! tutions. Gov.

PERHAPS NOT SUICIDE There is a growing suspicion that | , the death of young Smith Reynolds, multimillionaire of Winston-Salem, , was caused by an unidentified per • son and was not suicide, as was first . ! thought.

Conn. 50 of Zebulon; Jesse V Bet-man of Sprnig Hope, and Fenton Crocker, of Seaboard, victims of an automobile accident at the Virginia side of the highway bridge were taken to Emergency hospital. Conn J died as the result of his injuries ear i ly last night, but his companions in the passenger car, which collided with a large bus, running between this city and Alexandria, were getting along fairly reel! at the hospital to day, although Crocker sustained some concussion of the brain, and a badly injured right leg. Beeman, who was driving the car, had laccerations about the neck and shoulder. he injured men were in a highly nervous state, and a Daily News rep resentative found at the hospital that they had not been told about the i death of their companion. A number of the relatives and friends of the three men drove here from the state during the night, and Mrs. Crocker spent the greater part of the day at the hospital. It was ex plained that relatives of Mr. Conn j had also arrived, and started with the body for the return to Zebulon during ! the afternoon. It seems to have been a frightful accident, generally, as well as fatal in the case of Mr. Conn. Mr. Conn is sur vived by a wife and several children. They were crossing the highway bridge over the Potomac and were ap proaching the Virginia side when, without warning, the bus seemed to move out of the traffic streams, and directly in front of them. Both Ree man, the driver, and Crocker said at j the hospital today they could give no connected account of what happened, that the bus suddenly appeared in front of them, and the next moment i all were lying helpless in he road, i surrounded by a crowd of motorists. Mr. Conn was broken and bleeding, and it was believed at once that he ! would nftt survive. Their car was al most torn in two by the heavy im pact from the bus, the driver of which was arrested, and is now being : held by the police. There have been other bus acci dents in this section, some of which have been fatal, as was the one which : cost the life of Mr. Conn yesterday, and it is suspected that this accident will have results beyond anything popularly forseen at this time. Some ! of the Washington papers are at this time protesting against the designs of bus owners to commercialize the recently composed boulevard to Mount Vernon, a piece of roadway of outstanding historical significance, i and which will one day he a beautiful lone, with the landscape work com pleted for a distance of 15 or more miles. It is now argued that this historic highway should not he filled every afternoon with the big passenger buses and truck-, but should be kept open and safe for people driving theii own cars. This is a case that is ■ shortly to be argued before the park ■ commission of this city, a body that has been given supervision over the road.- Greensboro Nows. —o — DEATH OF T. M. CONN The death of Mr. T. M, Conn last Saturday as the result of an auto-bus collision in Washington, D. C., re moves from our community a progres sive citizen, from his many friends ■ one who was dear to them, and from his family their mainstay as well as |husband and father. The funeral service on Tuesday p. m. I was largely attended and was con ducted by a former pastor. Rev. Theo. B. Davis. It was held from the local Baptist Church of which Mr. Conn ■ was a member. The Masons of White stone Lodge had charge of the com mittal service at the grave. Many floral offerings bore witness to the love and respect of friends and neighbors and also testified to their friendship for the bereaved family. Mr. Conn came to this section from I Franklin county 19 years ago, living j first near Wakefield, then in that j village, and finally moving to Zebu- I lon where he was president of The ’Consumers’ Exchange. He was mar ried to Miss Jennie Lee Edwards of Louisburg. who survives him. with the following children; Euna Mae, .v limber 1 Graham, Daphene, Beulah, H nstino, Dorothy, Miry Alice and Wilbur 1 taniel. o—’ s- < td IF THANKS k rhe family 01 the iate I. I. Conii v sh to express through the olumns 'f The Record their deep apprecia tion to the services and sympathy of v their friends since the fatal accident , which cost the life of the head of the family. n ■ Man Beats Wife -i n A warrant was served by Deputy 11 1 Massey Monday on “Tom” Strickland I j who lives at the old Strickland place n at Rosenburg on highway 90. The v warrant read: Mrs. C. A. Strickland ‘ i being duly sworn, complains and says L ‘ | that about the 9th day of Ju -1 ly, 1932. C A. Strickland did unlaw s fully and wilfully assault her by U slapping her over the head kni>cking her down and kicked her, then jerked k ’ her up and beat her severely. The officers reported that Mrs. 1 Strickland said her husband got a e pint of liquor from Robt. Hagwood 1 that morning and drank it all. The * | assault took place in the afternoon. L ‘ ] The trouble is said to have started * by Strickland’s wife’s refusal to let I her little daughter wash the clothes " i of a cousin of Strickland’s who works II with him, and who was accused of as p sociations that made it repugnant to ', Mrs. Strickland to allow her child to wash his clothes. ' Bond was given for Strickland’s 1 appearance at court. HOME DESTROYED Early Saturday morning about 4:36 ■■o’clock the home of Mrs. Tom Cham ’' blee about a half mile west of Zebu U lon was destroyed by fire. It is sup ' j posed to have caught in the pantry. ! The house and most of the contents 1 ] were a total loss. About two beds ’ and a few other things in the front 1 room were saved. The house was a 1 i seven-room cottage. It was partially ’j insured, but there was one on the * | furnishings, ■I Mrs. Chamblee has moved into the ' cottage just back of where her home stood. We are sure this family will appreciate any help the community may render with spare pieces of fur niture, or other things usable in a home. 9 People 592 - Years Os Age Uist week down in the Archer 5 Lodge community the Wall family 'lhad a birthday dinner and family re -1 union. Among those present were 'ithe following whose ages are a’i ■ above 55: Jas. H. Wall, 76; Geo. li. W’all, 74; Gosiah Wall, 72; Rixie Wall, 67; Meddie Wall, 65; D.

Plant Fall Garden Now County Agent J. C. Anderson says that now is the time to prepare for a fall garden. Although the dry weather prevents planting now. it is a fine time to make the ground ready. Grass chopped now will die instead of taking root again as it does when ! the soil is wet. Tobacco plant-beds ''make good garden spots. Have the fertilizer in, the rows ready, and ; plant as soon as rain comes. You may plant in July and August: Snap * beans, bush limas. cowpeas, corn, fall Trish potatoes, turnips, kale, mustard, * carrots, beets, and lettuce. Transplant M tomatoes cabbage, collards, and sweet 1 potato vine cuttings. DELINQUENT TAX \ DVERTISIN.G DEFERRED * The Wake County commissioners I have again deferred advertising the - lands for sale of those who have not ■ paid their 1931 taxes. The final time i set for advertising is the first week :I in August. All who pay before that t time will not have the cost of such - advertising to pay in addition to their * taxes. The Record has the names of - several hundred citizens already set r up in type for publication. We hope i this list will be greatly reduced be , fore publication day on Aug. sth.
