How Peasants Eat.

In asthern Europe the peasants al
ways eat fruit in its natural shape and
neye" think of treating it to doses of
sugar, salt or other seasoning. Around
Naples or Malaga the people bite a
hole in the orange, suck out the juice
and then throw the orange away.
Some American people often do the
same, but the American must try his
hand at improving nature, so he puts
a lump of sugar in it. An orange
planter thinks such a thing odisecra-
ton.

splendid remedy for rheumatism was
to fasten the bands of clothing with
pins that had been stuck into the
flesh of either toad or frog. Ply
sicians frequently recommended the
water from a toad's brain for menta;

THE STU ALTON.

1t is well known that we have kept
at our masthead the name of Hon.
Andrew Gamble as the republican
nominee for representative of Blount
County. 1t is also well known by
every voter IN the county how Mr..
Gamble was nominated and we need
not 60 into any discussion on that
point. 1t will be remembered by
our readers that the TIMES said i'm
mediately after the nomination was
made that we did not believe that
committees ought to have the power
to nominate any candidate, but we
thought they had. Since that time
we find very large number of as
good republicans as live In the coun-
ty do not think this way and feel as
though they had no voice and their
wishes were not represented in re-
gard 10 this matter and feel that they
are not obliged to stand by the nomi-
nee under such circumstances. Now
we wish it distinctly understood
that the TINES is not the personal
organ of any man in the republican
party, but to the best of our ability
we try to represent the best interests
Of the whole party, and work for the
-good Of the party as party and not
as individuals. We regret very much
that this little break could not have
been settled to the satisfaction of all.
But as it has not the TINES as re-
publican paper and not factional
paper does not feel disposed to try by
any word or act to compel any man
to support either one of the gentle
min now running for representative.
If a man goes into convention,
committee or primary and agrees to
abide by their decision then he is in
honor, bound to abide by their decls,
on, but if he does not agree, no
power in court in this free country
can, nor VIII compel him to do so,
and the TIMES doesn't propose to adj
vocate anything that cannot be up
held by some law, or precedent.
We do not feel like leaving large
part of the republican party without
representation since we represent
every man who belongs to the party
from the fact that he is part of the
whole party. We therefore also,
place the name af Hon. Sam P.
Rowan at the head of our editorial
page who is running as the represen-
tative of that part of the party which
claims it was not fairly represented.
We have only this to say to republi-
cans, you have brains, use them and
do what you think best for the party
and we will do the same as individ-
uals, but the TINES will be neutral to
this extent it will not fight either
man. Mr.. Gamble has a nomination.
Mr.. Rowan has not but is running at
the request of those who claim they
had no voice in the nomination.
