The Old North State is one of the
best farming States OF the Union. In

Our readers have often observed tba5
the Farm, Field and Fireside is partial

is like a gold mine in it's small fruits

of Western gold mining.
But possibly some Of US may have
overlooked the fact that this moderate
and equable climate is as we'll adapted

as much q paradise for COWS and esDe-

PICKING PORK.

PICKLyNG PORK.
2. For picking for summer use the
best is the safest recipe. When pigs
are killed let pork hang for one day
and thoroughly cool, but co not risk
it's freezing. Cut up and treat that
part to be picked thus: Sailor q
mixture, of salt 8 parts, sugar 1 part
may be rubbed over the cut surfaces
and the meat piled for a day or two.
Make q brir g by boiling six quarts soft
water, twenty four ounces salt, eight
ounces sugar and a half ounce each
Of soda and seltpetre. Multiples of
these quantities may be used for any
amour OF brine. Put a layer Of salt
in the bottom of the cask or barrel to
be used (snould be OF oak), a new or
molasses barrel preferred. Do not use
one that has held spirits. Pack in 8
layer of meat, skin side down and to
ward slaves o. barrel, put on a layer
of salt, or salt and sugar mixture 3 to
I If desired, another layer of meat, and
and so on until meat is used or barrel
full. Tnen having boiled the brine
with frequent skimming to remove i'm
purities, and cooled it add enough to
fill ~insersJices and cover the meat. A
round cover should be made a little
smaller than the barrel to put rel the
meat. This should be held down firmly
on the meat to hold it under the brine
by a clean stone heavy enough for the
purpose.
It will be found desirable to watch
the brinesand whenever the juices of
the meaFhave given it an odor OF taint

Mckinley. the man Of marked mobility Of
character. was nominated and elected ~
a bimetallist. He will gladly sign the cur
rency bill now in Congress. with the single
gold standard as its chief characteristic
A while back he was pronounced silver
man; when he became President he was a
bimetaIlist: to-day he is all for gold What
will he be next? In December last he was a
free trader in his message, but when Han
ma finished with him he was for taxing
Porto Ricans. What will be the next
change in this man without backbone?
At one time he saw in any coercive policy
towards the Filipinos criminal aggres-
sion.''
To-day he is for holding both Porto Rico
and the Philippines as colonies, outside the
constitution and yet under the flag. Was
there ever just another as he is? We think
not. The currency bill will make it easy
for the gold Democrats who voted either
for Palmer or Mckinley to return to their
own people. Mckinley was elected by their
vote. The Porto Rico-Empire- Elk -Consti-
tutsonal bill will divide his people into
those who will cling to him and gold, and
who will be known as Imperialists and
not Expansionists. The true Expansion
lists but not Imperialists will still be known
as Republicans.
The Republican party is being divided by
Hanna using the trusts as a. sledge with
which to drive the gold wedge clear
through it's once compact body. Look out
for great landslide in November.

C0L0RED DELEGATE DECLINES,

Huntington Advertiser.
Ed. Rose, one of the colored workers of
the city, no longer affiliates with the Re-
publican party as at present constituted.
He rebukes the party for its shameful
treatment of the negroes. Rose will not
permit the use Of his name to assist in
making his race slave to the Republican
party, and especially to the gang which
now controls the party in this city. He
writes a letter to the chairman OF the Re-
publican Senatorial committee declining to
act as a delegate or to affiliate with the
party. Here is his letter, which speaks for
itself:
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, March 5. 1900
DR.. Geo. J. Caddle, Chairman Republican
Senatorial Executive Committee.
Dear Sir:-I see from the proceedings Of
the county convection of the republican
party held on the third day of March, 1900,
that my name appears as a delegate to the
Senatorial convention of the Republican
party. The negroes number about five
hundred voters in this county, and are
therefore entitled to five delegates on each
of the delegations. l notice that they are
represented by only two delegates. We
have been subjected to unfair treatment
at the hands of the Republican party for
many years, and instead of growing better
it becomes worse all the time To injure
the party adds insult until the treatment
becomes unbearable. / have not been en-
thusiastic in my allegiance to the party
for some time. and IN the light of recent
events I regret that cannot affiliate with
the Republican party, as constituted at
the present time, and / therefore decline
to act as a delegate to the Senatorial con-
vention. Very truly, ED. ROSE

they will keep in good condition for
two months or more if stored in a
cool place during the period. Not on
ly will they be fresh but look fresh;
that is, the shells will retain that lus-
tire which always goes with an abso-
lutely fresh egg, but which cannot be
retained when eggs are lined or pre-
served in any of the solutions used
for the purpose. In order to carry
out this plan successfully the eggs
must be from hens who are not run
ming with a male bird, and they
should be gathered and stored daily.
The cool room in which they are kept
must be frost proof. The plan is
well worth trying. for eggs will bring

horrible death Tuesday. She arose
before daylight and was evidently
seated by the hearth reading her BIZ
BILE, when her clothing caught fire.
The house also was soon in flames,
and the light of the burning building
attracted the neighbors, among them
her son, who lived near by, but it
was too late for them to render any
aid. Among the burning embers
when the roof fell in, they could see
the woman's body, but On account of
the intensity of the heat they were
unable to remove the body until late
in the afternoon.

Captain Conley, an old veteran and

in a few days, and an ardent supporter
of A. B. White will get the place. so it
is said. In accordance with the civil
service regulations, three names have
been sent to Washington, from which
Conley's successor is to be selected, but
it is safe to say the White worker
will get the place. The man who
is thought to be slated for the place
was whooping things up lively for
White at the county convention. The
only fault known to the public which
can be found with Conley. is that he
wears no mans collar, not even A. B.
Whites.

Window glass workers are plan

manufacture of window glass, and to
have them completed and in opera

wedge will be followed by others as
