It is gratifying that Mr. Clarence

Mr. Williams, of Missouri, jujs
that be is pleased to find the Presi

that what the President advocated
was democratic doctrine.
We notice that a bill has been in

Many years ago soan after the Civil
War, it is said that the late J W
flean was elected one of the members
of l? o Legislature of this county,
and he introduced and had cnaete i
a law of this kind, and they used t.
tell on him in the campaign thai
that was the only that he ever
introduced during the Legislature.
Snath Dakota and the Bonds-
"Savavard," a well known Wash
ington correspondent, writes a Louis
ville paper, saying if he "were asked
what is the most disreputable and
disgraceful thing any .State of the
American sisterhood has done," h
wonld not hesitate u moment, but
wonld name South Dakota, which
has assumed the position of "no who
has received stolen goods. "Instead
of establishing and licensing i
gambling hell as a gentlemanly cm
munity that needed the money would
do, South Dakota accepts as a gift
certain alleged obligation of an in
famous carpet-bag government that
stands on the footing of forged banks
checks." Not only this, but the
State was "shameless enough to
maud its collection by the judgment
of a court of law."
In the same article "Savoyard'
goes on to say:
"And so Sonth Dakota has a judg
ment against North Carolina on a
forged check. If I were not a Ken
tuckian. I would rather be a North
Carolinian than anybody else, though
my father was a Virginian. The old
State is first in war. She never was
ninch given to furnishing the man of
epaulets, but she hud a great, habit
of sending to the front the fellow
with a musket it? his hand, and it
was always a dangerous thing to be
in front of that fellow when he was
in lino of battle. North Carolina
never owed in honest dollar that she
was not anxious to pay, but every
cent of this judgment is dishonest in
every particular,, and its collection
will be the infamy of South Dakota.
I have no doubt North Carolina will
pay it, and I have even less doubt
that every honest man everywhere
will look on South Dakota with
scorn and contempt."
"Savayard" is mistakes iu one
thing in saying these particular bouds
weri lesned by the carpet-bag govern
ment, bat they were sold when th
State was deprived of her Statehood
and was a mere military despotism,
the election being held, in which the
carpet-bagger and the negro were put
in power, in November of the year
in which these bonds were sold.
Owing to the conditions the bonds
brought very little.

" PRESERVING MEAT ON THE FAkM.
The old method of pickling meut
iiyt strong salt-peter brine is still
erj generally used by farmers in
putting up their annual supply of
meat. This method produces a
strong flavored aud rather dry and
indigestible product. Thero is a
popular impression that salt-petci is
a very powerful preservative and
thatsalu-d meat will not keep with
out it. In fact, salt peter is not a
preservative at all It is a strong as
tringent, hardening the meat libers,
expidliug the natural juices and de
creasing the nutritious qualities of
the meat. When taken into the
human body in quantity, salt-peiei
acts as a powerful irritant to the
mucus niumbranes of the stomach,
bowels and kidneys. Death lias
been caused by largo doses of this
substances. The use of salt -petei
upon meat is u necessary and unde
sirable. A much better and sittii
substitute is cream of tartar potas
si urn bi tartrate.
Of recent years manufacturing
chemists have nut been buck nurd u.
offering to fanners aud butclnrs
various meat preset vatives sold undei
ttney and misleading names, at e.
horbiant prices. These "patent'
meat preservatives and coloring mat
ters are all injurious to hcaltii ami
should bo let severely alone.
To make a good, mild and whole
some meat pickle take the following
materials for each lno pounds ot
meat:
Conimen salt, is poands; brown
sugar, 5 pounds; cream of tartar. S
ounces; water, 4 gallons.
Direction: First, boil the water
for 15 minutes and theu stir in the
salt, sugar and cream of tartar. Keep
hot nutil all is dissolved. Let the
pickle cool before using.
Paok tho cut meat as solidly an
possible in a clean barrel. Place tin
largest pieces at tho bottom. X
piece should measure over by 11
inches. Pour on the cooled pickle
and completely cover the meat.
Cover the barrel tightly and set
away in a cool, dark, dry place. Tin
neat may remain in the pickle until
wanted for u-e. If to be smoked, re
move from pirkle after six weeks
and drain for a day or two before
smoking. To smoke use green hick
ory wood. Those who like a flavor
may add a few chips of sassafras oi
juu'per berries. The smoke bou.-e
must be dark and ttir-tigut except
tile chimney. This should be cover
ed with vvne mosquito netlirg. The
"skippers" which damage farm cured
meat most often attack the meat in
the smoke-house. The parent of the
Skipper" is a 11 y which infests meat
houses, but u hieh may be easily kept
out by means of wire u- ttmg ami
well closed framing.
After smoking until a light brown
color is attained wrap each piece ot
meat ill brown paper and enclose
hags made of unbleached muslin.
1'ie or sew these securely, then dip
the bags for two minutes into a
thick lime or ocfare wash to which
has been added a little salt ami some
liquid glue. The water used in
making this wash should nave been
boiled. Instead of bagging the
smoked meat it may be packed solid
Iv and deeply in clean dry oats or
chaff.
It is not generally known that
fresh meat aud sausage may be kept
sweet and sound during the cooler
months by boiling or frying until
about half cooked and then packing
solidly into earthen jars. Pour over
the packed meat hut laid until com
pletely covered. Cover the jars and
set away in a cool, dark, dry place.

most often repented ones is, when
the House is sitting as a committee
of tin' w hole, to hear one member
after another get up and move "to
strikeout the lust word" or the
"last two words", and proceed to
discuss the pending measure with
out ever saving one thing about why
he.wauts the last word struck out,
and in fact withdraws his amend

speech. After awhile it will dawn
on a fellow that this is simply a
sharp practice they have of secur

after the allotted time on the pend

Benefits of Rural Libraries.
Inn recent interview Prof C W
Ma.-sey. county superintendent of
putillc instruction of Durham
county said: ,
"A few days ago wc were visitiug
one ot our rural schools and alter
the school had closed one of the
pupils approached us aud gave his
individual order for one dozen books
of his own sclectiou all of standard
literature, including one or two of
Shakespeare's plays. This boy three
years ago had read nothing except
his school readers. He bos now-
read about 150 books from the rural
library- in his school aud has culti
vated a taste for good literature.
This is only one of many cases that
we could mention. Another beiietil
that we have derived from our rural
librai ies is that our people hav
ceased to read the trashy literature
with which the county is flooded
and have taken to the library books.
e notice that the more our peo
pic read the greater the desire for
Hood books among them aud greater
the desire for more mid better edu
cutiouul facilities. Thev patronize
the schools better aud take more in
terest in education in every way.
"No part of the state appropria
tions for public schools or ot tue re
gular state and county school fund
is in our opinion so wisely iuvst-d
tor tne dissemination o general in
telligence among the masses of our
people of all ages uud for tne culti
tution of a sentiment for educatien
and a desire for knowledge and for
hishei culture as the Dart invested
iu the establishment of rural librar
ies. The appropriation for rural
libraries should by all means be con
tinued until a rural library shall be
established in every rural school m
