In Reply to' Our Comments on Hearst.

Mr. Clarence II. Poe, Raleigh, C.
Dear Sir: What are your "good
many reasons for wishing that Mr.
Hearst should not be mayor of New
York City?"
As to the moral tone of his papers,
I do not see that they are any worse
than yours.
And if you are in doubt about his
personal morals, write to the Rev.
Thos. B. Gregory, whom I under
stand is a North Carolinian (I think
he is on the editorial staff of the
New York American), and he may be
able to enlighten you.

CHRISTMAS CANDIES.
Lowry and His Cotton Picker.
In the case of the cotton-picker,
the main fault with the machine is
that Mr. Lowry has invented too
much. He has invented a cotton pick
ing appliance to be operated by gaso
line engine power. There he ought
to have stopped. But he has gone
ahead and invented an automobile,
and a tolerably bad one, and a cot
ton handling device also a tolerably
bad one.
His cotton picking idea is all right.
His appliance picks cotton, discrimi
nates and looks well in oueration.
None may yet say if cost and income
balance on the right side, but we
think the profit side has a consider
able advantage when the right motor
car and the right cotton handling de
vices are brought into action.
It takes about half an hour to turn
How to Prepare the Ingredients for the
Christmas Sweetmeat Roundelay.
A box of home-made candies is a
welcome gift much appreciated at
Christmas. There is an art in pre
paring such a box for one's friends
and the end gained is worth the trou
ble. Candy boxes of any desired size
can be purchased at a box factory,
or boxes covered with the art crepe
paper, sold at so reasonable prices
nowadays, make attractive recepta
cles. A bolt b crimson baby ribbon,
a few sprigs of holly and several
sheets of white tissue paper will en
able a dainty package to be sent from
one's home.
In packing the candies it is wise to
cut paranine paper and stiff bristol
boards to fit the boxes in layers. A
sheet of paper, . then the layer of
board will keep the softer candies.
such as chocolate creams, from
crushing.
Uncooked candies are never palata
ble, and no amount of flavoring will
mask the raw taste. On this account
take the trouble to prepare fondant,
which is the basis of all fine cream
candies. It is not at all difficult to
make if the instructions are correct
ly carried out.
A week before Christmas prepare
