At New Berne Monday Judge
Frank Carter fined Solicitor Aber
nethey 050 and put him in tho>cuß
- of the Sheriff until he paid it.
The Solicitor was in the custody of
the Sheriff about two hours and
on the advice of attorneys fiiid the
fine under protest. Thy
grew out of comments by the court
upon the continuance of a State
case in which private counsel rep-
the prosecution, and be
tween whom and the defendant an
agreement had been made for a
continuance. The Solicitor claims
that the Judge's remarks reflected
upon him as an officer Qf the State,
and he was trying to explain this
when he was adjudged in contempt
and fined. On the other hand the
Judge states that he warned the
Solicitor to desist from addressing
the court and sit down. The state
ments made, which have been pub
lished, by the Judge and Solicitor
do not agree as to the facts. That
is the situation, with, perhaps more
to come.
The days allotted by law for the
sitting of the State Legislature is
more than half gone.- The busi
ness before it has been transacted
about as rapidly as by former leg
islatures.
Among the bills killed is the wo
man suffrage bill, for which there
seemed a very much greater de
mand outside than inside the State.
The State-wide dog law has been
killed, but many counties have a
dog law of their own.
There are three very important
bills now before the ooiy: That
affecting fire insurance rates; the
State-wide primary bill j and that
to prohibit the shipping of liquor
into the State for beverage purpo
ses.
There are a great many bills of
a purely local character, which
takes up a great deal ot time.
usually pais if no local rep
resentative does not oppose th.'tn.
North Carolina now enjoys the
proud distinction of having two of
her sons in Congress one the most
influential member in the Seriate and
the other the lender of and the must
influential member of the House.
Senator Simmons ocoupies the former
position and Congressman Claude
Kitchin the latter position. Such a
distinction has rarely, if ever before,
come to n single .State ntone and the
satno time.
The war in Europe waxes fiercer,

The weather has been bad and
the contageous diseases have come
in for tneir share but several
schools have recently sent in their
best reports on attendance. So
we h/)pe that as the weather
brightens by the touch of Spring
andfthe days grow a little longer
the attendance may grow even bet
ter. Regularity and punctuality
count for much in the performance
of any task.
It will be pleasantly remembered
the high rank taken last year by
the High Schools of Alamance
In the State contest in debate. Our
schooU arc again getting ready
foe the annual meet that will take

ham has chosen Myrtle Oates,
Charley Jones, Beatrice Foushee,
and Boyd Harden. Sylvan school
has chosen, Homer Foster, Eearl
Williams, Algie Ntwlin, and Harry
ry Johnson. We expect from these
teams of young people good re
ports again.

MEAT—OtNIII CUT*.
STRUCTURE.
'Upon examination it will be
found that the meat from a lonjf
cooked soup bone will tear off in
long stringy fibres. By the use of
a microscope one can sec that
these fibres or tubes ara compos
ed of bundles of these hair-like
tubes held together by a tough
membrane called a connective tis
sue.
COMPOSITION.
These fibres or tubes are filled
with the life giving muscle Juice-1
water, holding in solution proteins,!
mineral salts and extractives.
EFFECT OF HEAT.
Heat coagulates the proteirt.
The ideal to be aimed at in cook
ing meat, therefore, is to remove
the raw appearance without hard
dening the proteins and the text
ure, snd without the loss of the
characteristic flavor of the extract
ives of the meat. To reach this
ideal, care must be taken to expose
meat to a high temperature only
long enough to coagulate the pro
tein on the outsude and close th->
openings to the tubes, then cook
at a low temperature.
EXPENSIVE CUTS OF MEAT.
The more expensive cuts of meat
—the loin cuts—have nutritive val
ue, texture and flavor.
I. (1) Exposure to a high tem
{>erature for a short time coagu
ates the protein on the outside,
and by that time the juices are re
tained in the meat for their ulti
mate purpose—building body tissue
and repairing waste.
(a) In the case of a tender or ex
pensive cut of meflt Sfter the brief
exposure to a high temperature the
meat should be placed where the
cooking.will be less rapid until it
as rare br tender as the family d»-
sires.
BROILING.
In the process of broiling, the heat
is conveyed to the meat by direct
radiation. Expose the meat to a
high temperature until the outside
is seared; then cook slowly.
BROILED STEAK.
Cut the steal? from one to one
and a half inches thick. Trim ana
wipe with a wet cloth. Broil over
a hot fire, turning every ten
counts, until both sides of the meat
are seared. After both sid 's have
been exposed to the high tempera
ture hold further away from the
coals and cook slowly until the
steak is' aa well don# as you wisn
it. Season with salt, pepper ana
butter. -r •
PAN-BROILED STEAK.
Rub over the pan with o piece of
beefifait to keep the meat from
sticking. Have 'he ptn very hot
during the first three minutes.
Broil the meat on both s!3es; then
reduce the heat. Season as in the
broiled steak.
ROAST OF BEEF.
Roast of beef, 4 lbs.
Sslt, teaspoon or more
A little suet.
Try out the suet, put the roaat
In the hot fat, sear on all sides,
then reduce heat and cook slowly
in its own Juices and fat until the ,
roast is nearly done. When nearly
tender add salt, dredge with flou.v
and brown. Then add one cup of
boiling water. Raste the meat
every ten minutes throughout the
entire time of cooking. If liked
well done, twenty minutes or more
to the pound may be allowed.;""
BROWN SAUCE.
Flour, 1 tablespoon.
Fat, 8 tablespoons.
Boiling water, 1 cup.
Pepper, 1 salt-spoon.
Kitchen boquet, 1 teaspoon.
Stir the flour into the hot fat,
cook until brown; then add one
cup of boiling water, and add one
teaspoon of kitchen boquet. Stir
until smooth. Add salt and pep
per if more is needed.
BOILING.
The tough cuts of beef exposed
to boiling water, sufficient to cov-'
er, and Kept at this point for a
fe moments only, then cooked very
slowly and made more tender. >
The tireless cooker is of excel
lent merit in the cooking of tough
or cheap pieces of meaL
STB WING.
From an economic standpoint
stewing is an ideal method of
cooking meata. If properly done
.if coagulates without hardening
ing the protelds, and owing to the
to the fart thil the Juice is eat n
with the meat, none of the flavo.--
ing ingredients are lost.
MCTTON AND LAMB.
Mutton la in season all the year
round and lamb during the spring
and summer months.
LKO OP LAMB.
Drop the leg of lamb into a ket
tle or boiling water, to which has
been added • very littla hot red
pepper. Cook slowly until half
done, then add the salt and cook
until thoroughly tender. Pat In a
pan, dredge with flour, season with
pepper and brown. Serve with
Chin sauce or caper sauce.
CHILI SAUCa
Tomatoes, l quart, sliced.
Onions, 4 medium size.
Hot peppers, J or J,
Vinegar lf| pints.
» Sugar, 2 tablespoons.
Salt, 1 tablespoon.
' Cook slowly until drak brown
and thick, 2\ to three hours. Strain* I
pushing as much of the pulp as'
possible through the strainer. Be I
careful not to let the sesds pass
in. Bottle. This sauce is deli- [
cious with rich, red meats, and will
keep indefinitely.
PORK. - I
On account of the great amount'
of fat it contains, pork is classified I
with the carbonaceous or heat giv
ing foods. Pork, if not thoroughly
cooked, is both dangerous and un
palatable.
TRY OUT LARD.
Cut the fat into small nieces,
wash, and fill in an iron kettle,
two-thirds full and cook very, very
slowly to prevent 'burning, until
the cracklings are brown and crisp.
Take the vessel from the fire, cool
and strain.
TO SALT MEAT, .x
When pork has cooled, cut Into
shape, rub salt into the meat and
nack, with plenty ol salt, in the
I boxes. After four to six weeks r?-
1 n.ove from the boxes, hang in the
smoke house and smoke from time
time. In the early Spring scald
the meat, cover with black pepper,
sack and hang for the summer.
SAUSAGE.
Meat, 4 pounds
Salt, 4 tablespoons— level
Sage, l tablespoon
Black pepper, 1 teaspoon
Red pepper to taste.
Chop meat, add seasoning and
then put through chopper the sec- ,
ond time. Use plenty of fat with
the meat. I
LIVER PUDDING.
Use the liver, jowl and heart
Cook very slowiy until the meat
frills away from the bone. Put
through a meat chopper. ~ Return
to the fire, bring to the boiling
point, add salt, red pepper,, black
pepper and enough meal to make
a good thick mush. Cook slowlv,
until the meal is thoroughly cook
ed. Cool, and when ready to serve
slice and brown in its own fat. ;
POLUTRY.
SMOTHERED CHICKEN. ' J
Clean, dress and split the chick
en down the middle of the back.
Break the breast bone to make the
fowl lie flat. Steam in a ,covered
pan from 20 to 25 minutes. Dredge
with flour, add salt, pepper and
butter, and brown in a quick oven,
basting every ten minutes.
FRIED CHICKEN.
Clean, dress and cut the chicken
in pieces. Wipe dry, salt and pep
per and dredge with flour. Put
the chicken into hot fat, cook only
a few minutes at this high tem
perature. Brown on both sides,
put back on the stove where the
chicken will cook slowly. Cover
as soon as possible with a close
fitting top and leave it covered
throughout the entire time of cook
ing. If cooked In this way the
meat will be very tender and Juicy,
not hard throughout, yet crisp and
brown on the surface.

Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, because (
it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It i
is mercury and attacks your bones. .
Take a dose odf masty calomel to- i
day and you will feel weak, sick .
and nauseated tomorrow. Dont

ful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead .
and you will wake up feeling great. .

Water 80 Scarce BoUlera Go Two
Week* Without Having a Wash.
j London, Jan. 30.—We are here
very near Adam and Eve's abode,
1 the Grden of Eden," writes * lance
I corporal with the British forces
fighting the Turks in the country
back of the Persian Oulf.
"it is very hot, and the country
is no place for a white man. We
live on bread, tea and dates. The
greatest hardship is the scarcity of
water. I have not had a shave
or a was in seventeen days.
"We captured two forts and a
telegraph office yesterday without
the loss of a man. The Turks lost
forty. Some of the methods of
the Turks in action are curious. A
favorite trick ot theirs is to fall
down in close action as if dead,
and then after the line of British
has passed them they get up again
and fire at them from behind!
• "While retreating the Turks fre
quently discard numerous articles
of clothing lest they should im
impede their flight. Before their
retreat has lasted long they have
nothing but their shirts and amu
nition oelts. No matter how hot
the fighting is, one cannot retrain
from,' laughing spectacle of
several hundred men running at
top speed with their long shirts
flapping around their bare legs.
Changing National Names.
t a
I Bpringfield Republican.
I Geographical names share in the
upheaval, and old usage is threaten
ed at many points. Petrograd was
swallowed without it murmur, tho
half the capitals of the world are
called out of their names. In Eng
land the press is heeding thQ appeal
ofthe Serbs against giving their
country the wrong ana degrading
form Servia, and consideration is
given to requests from the people
of the Netherlands not o call them
: Dutchmen. Ajpd in Britain iotself
| attention has been directed to a
boycott which had nob escaped no
tice in this country of the word,
"English." * "Britisher" has been
denounced aB an Americanism, but
Americans seldom use it unless in
jest, whereas it has be?n recurring
constantly in the British press dis
patches from the front probably oy
spontaneous development to meet
. the need for a substitute for the
1 ipoetic "Briton."''
! Germany still considers its enemy
to be England,' but in that country
as well as in Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, the fashion since August 1
has been Britain. It has no yet
fot so far as "the British language,
ut England has almost disappeared
from tne map, and the English have
hardly raised a word of protest
possibly because active Journalism
is so largely in the hands of Irish
men andf Scots who perhaps are no
longer to be called Scotchmen. If
Hollanders are no longer to be call
ed Dutchmen, it will play havoc
with the classic Joke about the
Dutch having taken Holland, not to
speak of the harm done the Plying
Dutchman, known in Wagnerian
opera as "Der Fliegende Hollaen
der."
In English many foreign namea
are hopelessly twisted, but the aame
is true of other languages—we do
not go nearly so far as the French
in triming them to fit the lan
guage. Are we to cease calling the
1 people of Japan Japanese because
the Gold Island of Chapango never
existed? Must we censor Lo, the
Tpoor Indfan because Columbus did
not land in the IndiesT There are
historical and literary tradtions
which are worth preserving despite
of or because of the mistakes they
embody. And after all the Dutch
men are the moat purely Teutonic
people in Europe, and a very fine
type of Platt-Deutach.

It is obvious that the submarine
mine has become much more for
midable than it was 10 yeara ago.
During the Russo-Japanese war a
number of veasels on elthar side
were sunk or disabled by mines,
but in one instance only—that of
the battleship Petropavlovsk— did
the stricken ship go down imme
diately'.
The mines used by the Ruaaians
and Japanese were filled with, aa
rule, with guncotton. This is, of
course, a very potent explosive,
but in many respects it Is quite
outclassed by the compound used

Boom in Ship-Building.
Washington, Feb. 4,—That the
ship-building industry ip the Unit
ed States has entereed upon per
haps th greates era of prosperit
ever has experienced is indicated
by reports which have reached of
ficials here as to the volume of
orders which have been placed at
the yards along the Atlantic sea
board. Chairman Alexander of the
House committee on merchant ma
marine and fisheries stated in a
speech in th# House that the ship
ping Industry had undergone an
unprecedented boom, and That the
yards which several months ago
were idle, now were teeming with
activity brought on by contracts
sufficient to occupy them at full
time for an extended period.
This optimistic statement is fullv
borne out by reports which have
corae to officials ot the Treasurv
Department. High officials of the
coast guard service said to-djv
that the Newport News jhlpbu.l J
plant had enotigh work to o?cup'
4,400 men for two veins, an i that
in all probability further contract*
will have to be refused. Th? New
port News booja is selected as »
conspicuous example of the activ
ity which has spread to all the bl£
shipbuilding plants. That pla ..
did not take a single, orde* befov ■
last December, but now, to ad
dition to two battleships andt wo
revenue cutters, it ia laying the
keels for 70,000 tons of merchani
marine.
The extent of the boon*, ia indi
cated by the two following state
ments made upon the authority of
an official In touch with the ship
ping industry.
"Cramps' shipyard la signing up
contracts to crowd it with work.
The Maryland Steel Company's
yard at Spsrrow's Point; the New
York Shipbuilding Company, at
Camden, and the tall River plant,
are all doing capacity work. Al
though orders for repairs are nec
essary to keep busy certain facul
ties of the plant, a great part of
repair work la being abandoned to
smaller planta; the bigger plants
were taking every Ut of it th~y
could get only a brief time ago.
could get only a brief time ago.
An argument generaly takes a
curious form. It always has two
aides bat only one end.
