THE legislature talks of adjourning
m the 3Oth of this month. If they
fail to pass a good, practical, working
road law, the farmer Governor ought
to call them in extra session for thai
particular purpose. This business
has been fooled with too long already
and the people have a right to de-
mand that it be postponed 10 longer.
There is not a member of the legisla-
ture that, during the canvass, did
not. publicly or privately commit HIM
self to such a law, aud good law
and practical one bearing on this sub
iect ought to be passed. If the legis-
iature is too busy passing resolutions

THE passage by the legislature OF
the bill creating the office Of Com
missioner of LABOR Statistics and
Mines, was a piece Of pure demcgog-
ism. There is no necessity for any
such Office in this State. The la
borers in the mines can protect them
selves just as well as the labe's on
the farm. 1t is bill Of political clap,
which will cost the people $4,000 q
year and do no earthly good.

&PULAsKI, March 11.-Yesterday
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Gilbert ar
rested and put in the PulIsk jail 8
negro named John Murray, who con-
fessed to having burned the smoke
house Of Andrew Powell, city n Of
Giles County, living near Prospect
Station. He stole about a thousand
pounds of meat out of the house, and
in order ia avoid detection set fire to
the building. Some feeling exists
against the prisoner, as this county
has within the last twelve months
sustained considerable losses at the
hands of incendiaries.

A GOOD thing is sometimes spoiled

A GOOD thing is sometimes spoiled
by OVERRIDING it. The proposed
amendment was a good thing at first,
but when the attempt was made to
shut the people out and not give
them the ghost of a chance to say
who they would have for their agents
then the thing was oyerdone. That
was asking just little too much, and
Democratic Legislators will be very
slow to rob the people of their rights
after any such fashion. When a man
says the majority of the people want
his change, he may believe what he
says and he may not; il he does, he
- very badly mistaken. Those who
oppose this measure claim that at a
popular election il would be defeated
wo or three to one, ahd il our legis-
ators wish to be instructed, the OPP
posers are perfectly willing that a
vote be had. Our Legislators are
Democrats, and we do not believe
there is one of them that will cast a
vote to take from the people the
TlRuI W S6lSCb biACAL "" II BuOlAS sci
wants. And if any one of them does,
that one will cast a very uudemO-
cratic vote, and a vote in opposition
to the wishes of a very large ma
iority of his constituent is. And in
this place we use the word "cOnstitu-
snts" in its narrow sense; we mean
to say that large majority of the
democrats, the tax payers, the white
men-the voters who elected our
present representatives-are opposed
20 the amendment as it now stands
We say this in good faith to our
representatives and our people, and
We are willing that the question
De tested by any fair means. The
voice of forty men is no fair test OF
he wishes of six thousand. We hope
our Legislators will let the amend
nent sleep the sleep of death.

WE have been requested to call the
attention of the city fathers to the
fact that Greenwood Cemetery is be

their meeting tonight when this
question comes up, they can with all

THE Nashville Herald of the 9th
says: 1.-THE Senate yesterday passed
the bill making cigarette selling q
privilege and fixing q tax of $500.
The author of the measure is Senator
Polk, the brainy representative o.
Maury and Lewis counties. 1t is un-
derstood that this Senator himself,
who is victim of the cigarette habit
was the horrible example which es
tabIished the necessity for such pro-
hibitOrY legislation.

Mr. S. J. HENDERSON, who was de-
barred by Supreme Court year ago,

profession might again be respected a

be called a lawyer; the title now

How to Make Sweets That Are Sure to
Be Pure and Harmless,
Our candy was to be sold for a cent q
stick, but the sticks were not scanty
little ships by any means, Mrs. Cart
wright made US a present of the molas'
ses, Lois brought the sugar from homei
Al Fay brought tho saleratus, Patty
remembered about the vinegar, and
Marjorie produced the butter.
These were the ingredients: half
gallon of New Orleans molasses, a cup
Of vinegar, piece Of butter as large as
two eggs, a good teaspoonful of salera-
tus disSo we'd in hot water.
We melted the sugar in the vinegar,
stirred it into the molasses, and let it
come to the boil, stirring steadily. The
boys took turns at this work.
When the syrup began to thicken we
dropped in the saleratus, which makes
it clear; then Touring our hands, each
took position, and pulled ii till it was
white.
Tho longer we pulled, the winter 1t
grew. We ate some of it, but we girls
were quite firm in saving half for our
sale.
Then we made maple-sugar caramels.
Have you ever tried them? They are
splendid. You must have maple sugar
to begin with; real sugar from the trees
in Vermont If you can get it. You will
need deep saucepan. Then into q
quart of fresh sweet milk break tvs
pounds of sugar Set it over the Are,
As the sugar melts, 1t will expand.
Boil, boil. boil. stir, stir, stir. Never
mind II your face grows hot One can
not make candy sitting in a rocking
chair with fan. One doesn't calculate
to, as Great-Aunt Jessamine always says
The way to test it when you think ii
is done is to drop portion In oald
water. If brittle enough to break, 1t is
done. Pour into square buttered pans
and mark 1t off while soft into httle
squares with knife,
Some people like cream candy. 1t is
made In this way: Three large cupfuls
Of loaf-sugar. six tablespoopfuls OF
water. Boil, without stirring, in q
bright tin pan until IL will crisp in
water like molssSes candy. Flavor 1t
with essence of lemon or vanilla; just
before Il Is done, add one teaspoonfdl OF
cream of tartar. Powder your hands
with -four, and pull 1t until it Is per.
fectly white.
Plain Caramela, One pound of brown
sugar, q quarter Of pound Of chocolate,
one pint of cream, one teaspoonful OF
butter, two tahlespoonfuls of molasses.
Boil for thirty minutes, stirring all the
time; test by dropping into cold water.
Flavor with vanilla, and mark off as
you do the maple caramela
Homemade candy is sure to be of good
materials, and will seldom be harmful
unless the eater takes a great quantity,
