In Gaston County a few days ago John McElhaney and Robt. Cur rence were hoeing cotton and fell out. Currence struck McElhaney with his hoe, the blade cutting the brain. Mc Elhaney died last Tuesday morning. Currence is at large. Crops, throughout this section, continue in worse condition than ever before known at this season. The outlook now is that many acres of cotton will have to be abandoned on account of the grass and rain, says the Wadesboro Messenger. Seigfried Roebling, young son of John A. Roebling, of Asheville, dis appeared Sunday a week ago because he was tired of going to school. Af ter a week of search and distress on the nart of narents and friends, the boy was found in Knoxville Satur- day.' Last Tuesday afternoon the dwell inff house occupied by the family of Mr. Wm. G.

L. D. Whittemore, of Stamford, Connecticut, a traveling representa tive for the Yale & Towne Safe Manufacturing Companv, suicided at the Commercial Hotel at Lenoir, Wednesday night. To make death doubly certain he drank mercury scraped from a mirror, cut an artery in his wrist and then tied a niece of chamois skin around his neck and twisted it by using a hair brush. Muffins, Gems and Waffles. When soda is used in making gems, biscuits, or batter cakes, it should be thoroughly dissolved, in a little warm water, or twice sifted with the flour. The proportion of soda for gems is one half a tea9poonful of soda to one cupful of sour cream or milk. If one has no cream, use three quarters of a cupful of milk and one quarter of a cupful of melted butter to make the muffins more tender. A general rule for muffins is one egg to two cupfuls of flour, two level teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, and about three quarters of a cupful of milk. One tablespoonful of sugar may be added if desired. The ideal biscuit is small, scarcely over an inch in thickness, and glazed over the top with milk to prevent any floury appearance. Gem pans should be heated on the top of the range, brushed thoroughly with lard or half each of butter and lard, and be very warm when the batter is turned in. From a quarter to a scant teaspoon ful of salt is used in all gems and muffins, proportionate to the amount of flour. In mixing muffins, beat the butter to a cream, add gradually the sugar, then the eggs well beaten, then alternated the milk and flour with which the salt and leavening have been sifted. Muffins require about twenty-five minutes for baking. Rice muffins are prepared according to the recipe given for rice griddle- cakes, having a smooth but a little firmer batter. For berry muffins, sift half a cupful of sugar with the dry ingredients, and stir in lightly one cupful of berries dusted with flour. For date muffins, add one cupful of chopped dates. Banana griddle-cakes require simply the addition of three bananas sliced in very thin rounds sprinkled with a tablespoonful each of lemon juice and sugar, and allowed to stand while the batter is being prepared To compound waffles, the yolks of the eggs are beaten, the milk added, then the dry ingredients, and lastly the thickly whipped whites of the eggs are folded in. Scones are a little larger than biscuitsand are served at luncheons especially with cocoa or chocolate. Fruit and nut rolls are used for breakfast. To prepare them, follow the directions for bis cuits, using less salt; add fruit to the flour, brush the top with melted but ter, and sprinkle with half a tea- spoonful of ground cinnamon mixed with quarter of a cupful of granu lated sugar. Mrs. Regina Rogers in the Pilgrim for April. The Mother and the Daughter's riarriage. The relation between mother and daughter is so affectionate, and the former so adores the latter when she emerges from childhood into her grownup estate, that she cannot let this beautiful period slip away, and a different period begin, without feel ing a pang, almost a wrench. Just as Edith is old enough to be her companion, to enter into her life as only a daughter ... can, along comes Love, an imperious claimant, and snatches her away. The mother can not complain. She herself was wooed and won in her day of girlish beauty and triumph, and her mother had to resign her to a lover who has been tried and true. It is the way of the world and who shall question it ? but successive mothers resign their cherished children to the out side interest and the outside joy, an interest and a joy that to some extent take them away, with always the same heartache. Margaret E. Sangs- ter in Woman's Home Companion for June. An exchange says that "Uncle Sam needs money." No doubt the old duf fer now regrets that he never sub scribed to a newspaper, hence cannot call on the boys in the time of trouble. Richmond Pearson Ilobson, who is a North Carolinian, of course, has gotten married up in New York State. G iris desiring to kiss him now should see that the coast is clear. The people of Goldsboro have tried prohibition and are thoroughly dis gusted with it. It does not prohibit the sale of liquor and knocks the town out of revenue which it form erly got. Goldsboro Record. Some of the best citizens of Texas and Missouri, announce that they propose to stop the habit of "toting" pistols in those States, even if they have to shoot the life out of men ad dievted to the vice.- Durham Sun. The sale of Captain Kidd's home in Now York the other day attract ed no attention. When it comes to genuine piracy there are thousands of New Yorkers who have him beat en to death. Wilmington Journal. While I live I trust I shall have my trees, my peaceful idyllic land scape, my free country life, at least half the year ; and while I possess so much I shall own one hundred thousand shares in the Bank of Con tentment. Bayard Taylor. HUGE TASK. It was a huge task to undertake the cure of such a bad case of kid ney disease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, la., but Electric Bitters did it. He writes; "My kidneys were so far gone, I could not sit on a chair without a cushion and suffer ed from dreadful backache, headache, and depression.
