lieved here at this writing that lie
\il do so. (Mr. Everett conclud-'
cu la to Monday to accept office I
at 011 ce and resign seat in Legis
lature. Took oath of office Tues-!
da .' . o .ling). Mr. Everett is
chaii man of perhaps the most
iuiportaut House committee, that |
of appropriations, and it was
largely because of his desire to
compete certain work almost in
shape for the whole body, that he I
requested the Governor to grant
him a few days' grace tvi definite
ly return an answer to the tender
of the appointment.
It is certain tliat Governor Mor
rison selected his nominee with
out the aid or influence of any
other person, and a better ap
pointment could not have beenj
made h; he the State!

fore not only the Governor's hope |
but, a hope enterta ned by many ;
others for the good of the St ale, !
that Mr. Everett will accept tho 1
position, which is properly re
garded as the ' next highest" office ;

The General Assembly reassem

Simple Rules for Curing .'ork.
I Every North ,Carolina .farmer,
]should prepare enough porrf pro
jdaicts to last his family lor the J
|entire year, says Earl llostetlor, |
in charge of swine iuv-'sti^•!ions
J for the North Carolina Kxperi-
Station. Although a
! amount of meat is lost each year
[because of improper treatment,
| Mr. Hostetlei duo not see why
'curing oork on the farm is such a
difficult problem Ho finds that
lif a few simple rules ate adhered
! to there should be nd meat .osi-es.
He has given the must important
|-ones as follows':
1. Be sure the hoirs to b« killed
!ar? healthy and 'are not worried
or excited at slaughtering time.
2. Allow tho, carcass to cool
'out thoroughly before it is cut
up.
3. Do not attempt to put moat
into the cure until it is too o i«h
ly cooled, and on the other hand
do not attempt o cur\ fro/, n
meat.
I 4. When tho curing process is j
'completed do not expose the meat
to flies or bugs.
ft Immediately aft*r the hams,
shoulders and side* are smoked
sufficiently they should bo wrap
] pod in paper ai d then put in
'bags (flour sacks or ceuvoit bans
laro good) and hung in a cool dry
place until ready for use.
Mr. Hostetler states that these
j rive simple rules cover most of tho
'causes for failure and a lack of

Jk NEW story, bringing in John
s / z \ Bartley, investigator of crimes.
The talented detective, re
turned from secret service work in
the war, was immediately engc.ged
by the governor of the state to ferret
out some facts in connection with nu
application for a pardon. . *J
• >
It seemed a small case, Hardly
justifying the employment of such a:
prominent sleuth, yet it led to some
thing big; to a mystery which, for al
time, baffled all of Lis keen abilities*
Those who read a detective story in
order to match thoir wits against the
author's, will find a rare treat in this
new serial.

MADE A HIT WITH STUDENTS
"Cafeteria Work" Was Something
Which Evidently Had the Approval
• of the Entire Body.
A new school for boys In Terre
i Haute, Ind., Is a very modern vocation
al school, with hand equipment, big
i athletLc park and cafeteria. And the
new students were-much Impressed by
i these facilities.
On the flrst day of school one of the
I new fellows watched a last year stu-
I dent make out his program, and It
read : "Shop work, wood work, chemi
cal laboratory work and forge work."
He studied It a little while and be-'
gan writing. And this is what he
■wrote: "Band work, athletic work,"
and then he hesitated, studied for a
long time, and finished, "cafeteria ,
work."
Before he could get any farther the ,
old student, having seen the program,
I seized It for exhibit, and It went on
record as the most popular program of !
the school.
Electricity and Bulleta.
At a rifle meeting In Switzerland It
was discovered that the steel-jacketed
bullets of the marksmea were swerved
from their course by the lntluence of
telegraph and telephone wires running
alongside the range, says the Washing
ton Star. Kxperlments were then
made at Thun by placing four steel
j | cables parallel with the range and
| about 4o yards distant from It and
I sending a current of 8,000 volts
| through them. The effect, it la said,
was to turn the bullets so far frcui
their course that the deviation
amounted to 24 yards on a range of 1
200 yards. The bullets on being taken
from the targets were found to be
magnetized. Next, on an artillery
range of 3,000 yards, the electro-mag
netic Influence was generated 200
yurds In front of the targets and 40
. yards to one s,ll£ r „ The projectiles
ware swerved 14 degrees from a
atrulght line.

An American Creed.
M/ Asliby Jones, Atlanta Con
stitution. *
I believe in the supreme value
of a man—just because he it
human. That all men are equal
in their inalienable right to "life (
liberty, and the pursuit ot hap
piness," and that the authority
which governs them shonld be
the creature of their own divine
right to choose.
1 believe in a democracy through
which the will of the individual
may find free exercise in the
privileges and responsibilities of
government. In a freedom which
challenges the will by presenting
aitematives of conduct, and
stimulate* the latent faonltiee
aud forces of the spirit by con
stant calls of responsibility to
choose between right and wrong.
1 believe in a government which
i.-s a means to the end of develop
ing the highest typo of manhood,
ri. io this demands a free ballot, a
free school, a free press, and a
free church.
I bel'eve that perm .nent peace
ami prosperity for mankind is de
pendent upon vniveisal liberty.
That any governing .5 not re
rponsible ? tin- go- erned is a
menace to the safety of .ill self
governing peoples
I bel evj that America is more
than a land, a line*-*'"', or a lan
guage. That it is . iO'ty ideal,
desUu'd to be a s i -itUa rei'jge
,aud rendezvous o he aspirations
and hopes of int. kind. There
fore—our flag—wit. its .ield white
like the snows of Va.-jy Forge,
stained red with the blood of our
fathers, and its national sky ail
studded with stars who*- blend
ed beauty is rau..mt with the
gathered glory of our past—must
ever be the symbol of the soal of
liberty.
