ABOUT BREAKFAST BACON.
Secret of Having Light. Brown, DIR,
Crisp Rolls


The secret of cooking breakfast bacon
so it will be a delicate light brown. dry
and crisp" consists. first, r. cutting it
thin. then in having it ice cold when il is
put in the pan. which must be not. vet
not redhot. Shake the pan rapidly
while the bacon is cooking: toss the
bacon over. 1t will crisp into rolls in
two or three minutes. and will then be
ready to use as a garnish The pan
should be hot enough TO burn the bacon
unless ii is kept moving. The bacon
should be 50 chilled that il is firm
enough for keen-edged knife to cut it
in syater-like slices.
Some cooks prefer to broil bacon.
Then simply lay the slices in an oyster
broiler and broil them for two minutes
on each side, turning them and lifting
them if the fat drips. 1t is also espe-
eially necessary to have the hampers Of
the stove open, as it always is necessary
in broiling anything. The smoke OF
dripping fat is thus drawn away from
the meat.
Careful cooks bone their bacon. They
keep the "side" wrapped in cloth and
hang it up in the cellar, or some cold
place, where they can cut slices from I.
as they need il.
Sllces OF bacon are served with veai
outlets, calf's liver, chicken liver and
many meats. Chicken livers rolled n

and pepper. and then rolled in fine

however, was only nominally a West
Tennessee man as his property and his
interests were in Middle Tennessee,
and he had already arranged to remove
| to Nashville when elected to the Senate.
He did move to Nashville after his cleo
died. The West Tennessee Democracy
have had only one Governor since the
war. Under these circumstances, we
feel that it is only just and fair that
West Tennessee should be allowed to
retain the only office accorded to it by
Democratic Legislature or State con-
vention. If the Democrats of the Mid
die Division should pursue a selfish and
grasping policy, and, simply because
they had majority in the party eau
Gus, attempt to monopolize all the hon
ors and offices, it could not fail to have
most discouraging and depressing
effect upon the Democrats of the West,
who would feel that they had been I'M
fairly and ungenerously treated. You
know that the West Tennessee Demo-
Ecracy is compelled to put forth all its
strength to obtain its Democratic ma
} jority. 1t is absolutely essential that it
! be united, enthusiastic and harmonious.
1t would not be conducive to such har-
mony to strip the West Of the only i'm
pOrtant office it now holds.
1 earnestly beg of you to give your
serious attention to these eonsidera-
tions and il they shall meet the an
proval OF your Judgment 1 trust YOU
will see, or write to your Senator and

Wal House that he may meet and cons

A POLITICAL MISTAKE.

The members of the Maury Coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee
who were in Columbia last Monday,
doubtless realized that they had
made big political mistake the
Friday before; for their action in
abandoning the nominating system
and returning to the -for-all boo
die campaigns, was as unpopular a
move as they have ever made.
The wide spread. dissatisfaction"
spoken of in the resolution was
mostly in theSminds of the commit
tee; and the committee resolving it
to be so, did not have the effect-as
they hoped it.5would-of making it
so in the minds of others. But 1t
did have the effect of spreading very
wide dissatisfaction with the COM
mittee, and the machine methods
dominating the committee.
1t is significant that the gentleman
who moved the passage of the reso-
luton, is the same gentleman who
moved two years ago to table the
resolution against using money in
elections. And whatever there is of
widespread dissatisfaction" in the
Democratic ranks against the pri-
mary system grew largely out of this
action of the committee then.
Another significant fact is, that not
single advocate of that movement
has yet taken the public into his
confidence. We have insisted that
some one of them give through the
columns of the HERALD, the rea-
sons for their most arbitrary and un-
usual proceedings. But to this good
day not line has been written on
that side of the question. And yet
for days before the committee met
it was generally and publicly known
what the action of the committee
would be; showing that a "still
hunt" had been carefully made and
the sentiment of widespread dis
satisfaction" thoroughly worked in
the minds of the committee by some
one.
Who did that work and why was
it done? Was it done in the in
terest of the party or of individuals?
Was it done to defeat Republicans,
or to defeat some Democrat, whose
chances were thought to be best be-
fore Democratic primary? 1t is a
poor cause that cannot go into the
public print, and these questions had
just as well be answered now as la
ter, for the people are going to know
all the why's and wherefores, before
the August election.
