Few people know how easily sweet
potatoes can be dried, even in the sun.
and how handy and useful the dried po-
tatoes are. At best sweet potatoes are
a troublesome crop to keep, but when
dried or cured in an evaporation they
are really no trouble to keep and are
always at hand for use on the table at
short notice. They should be sliced and
then evaporateu. Then to use them
they are soaked to restore the evapOra-
ted moisture and then baked in pans as
the fresh ones often are. They are an
admirable article for buildings and pies.
For this purpose it would be better to
grind them into meal and put up in
packages with directions for making
buildings. Put up in this way it ought
not to be much trouble to create mar
ket for the dried sweet potatoes. If an
evaporating plant would but under
take the putting up of the sweet potato
meal in packages the article would sell
| well. Grocerymen are slow to take
hold of such products in the crude eva
porated state, but in such packages
with few attractive hand-bills and a
| lot of receipts for making the many de,
licious preparations that can be made
from sweet potatoes, market coulo
soon be made for a product that Eastern
North Carolina can supply in limitless
quantities. Who will start this en-
terprise? ". F. Massey N. G. Expert

Many of our brethren write US
about selling poultry. If parties can
hold hold turkeys and chickes till af-
ter the middle of January, think they
will be able to obtain better prices
than now in Northern markets. A
great quantity goes into the market
for Christmas and New Year. After
that time it will be scarcer and will
sell at remunerative prices. Have
stock in fine condition and hold til
about first Of February and it will
pay for the extra trouble we think.

WILLIAMS vs.. SETTLE.
The Contested Election Case New Being
Heard Before the Congressional EIec-
ton Committee.

Wash ngton Postl
The Post has had frequent occa-
sion to object to the unseating of
members of congress by the mere
brute force of partisan majority.
No party has ever yet gained de-
cided advantage by such unfair
tactics.
There can be but one inducement
for Mr.. Archibald Henderson Ar
rington Williams in his contest
against Hon. Thomas Settle, of
North Carolina, and that is his faith
that Settle being a Republican, the
Democratic majority Of the House
will unseat him without reference to
the merits Of the Case.
The board Of State canvassers of
North Carolina, consisting of five
members-four Democrats and one
Republican-the Governor. the Sec
rotary of State and the Attorney
Ger eral being members of said board,
issued d certificate of election to Mr..
Settle. Every registrar in the dis
trict was Democrat. Every board
of precinct Judges was under the con-
troll of the Democrats, in many in
standes the Republicans having no
representation on the board. The
boards of county canvassers, with
the exception of two, were solidly
Democratic, the exception beng
Granville county, where the Repub-
| licans had three of the seventeen
members, and Stokes county, where
the Republicans had three out of
eleven.
The boards of county canvassers
under the election law have broad
judicial powers to 60 back of the re-
turns and pass upon the facts con-
nected with an election. Settles
rights were vigorously contested be-
fore the boards Of county canvasserS
and before the State board. Evil
dence was heard and arguments made
! by able lawyers on both sides, There
is an unbroken line of decisions b,
these tribunals in Settles favor.
Settles majority upon the face Of
the precinct returns was 6l4. The
majority accorded him by the STATE
board is $50. The precinct returns
had Williams name, long as it is
scratched in every instance. Settl'
was returned wrong in three coun
ties; in one as Thomas NJ, III an
other as Thomas H., and in the thir(
as Thomas A. Settle, when it shoul'
have been Thomas Settle. All thes
votes were accorded him by the coun
ty boards except in one county, wher
he was deprived of seventy-thre
votes, but he never received crtdi
fer them, although the judges 0
that precinct and the registrar swor
that the ballots cast were for Thoma
Settle, and not for Thomas A. Settle
; The Post has gone to considerabl
trouble to get at the bottom facts i
, this case, and it believes that no ma
not prejudiced by blind partyisl
| could come to any other declslo
than that Mr.. Settle is entitled to tt
/, seat he now holds, and that nothin
d but the most preiudiced p,rry acE!'
e will deprive him Of it. The distrl'
! he represents is strongly Democrat
. the registrars and precinct judg
+ being largely in the majority.
