A Virginia Pie and It's Possibilities

charleston News and Courier.)
We may be pardoned, perhaps if we go
about making point of great local inter
est and value in an indirect way, for the
sake of the instruction and suggestion we
derive blythe roadside. What the editor
of the Richmond Dispatch does not know
about cooking" says the editor of the

the cuisine is furnished by the following
pie, of which we wish our readers to par

patch mans skill and taste in such mat
tiers, his description Of the delicious pie
in question: is presented as follows:
Here in Virginia, we make two sorts
Of potato pie-the sliced and the mashed:
butFin either case much depends on the
seasoning. One must put into it butter,
eggs, sugar, lemons and cinnamon. Also
a dash of brandy or wine. The potatoes
should be thoroughly cooked, but not dried
up. The crust-usually there is no upper
crust-should be light and crispy.

means and will agree with the Norfolk
epicure that that pie gives us as much
pleasure as any we have ever met 1t

sure indeed that it does not deserve to

puddings that cannot hold candle to 1T

And now to come to the point OF the
whole matter, we note that our Yorlvlle

simple process of first boiling them, ana
then slicing and drying them, as other
vegetables and fruits are dried in simple

new Constitution went into effect, our
correspondent writes it disfranchised the
negroes composing four-flfths Of the Re-
publican county executive committees In

provision called mass meetings of ne
groes resting under the same political
disqualif1cations as themselves. and elect

usual manner-as If nothing had happen
cd and they were still legal voters. The
white Republicans compiled with the law
and held meetings in which only legal
voters took part. Their delegates were
seated, and the negro claimants (repre-
senting non-voters), were excluded. Our
correspondent thinks it suggestive
fact that at the subsequent cleo
ton the Alabama Republicans cast 3,i0O
votes in total poll of about $4,000.

Tobacco Curture.

It is worthy of note that the culti-
walton of tobacco has now become an I'M

formerly believed to be unsuitable for
this crop. Experiments have proved that
the plants thrive in forty-two of the
forty-five States and in ATTITUDES as wide

In the last five years tobacco has sur
passed cotton as the money crop In parts
of North Carolina and South Carolina, in
which it was formerly supposed that the
crop would not pay. The Wilmington
