CORN MEAL FROM THE SOUTH.
Dainties From Old Homes by Southeners
in New York

j No true Southerner could ever
! be convinced that the fine, swedish
yellow meal of the North, whether
it be ground between stones III an
old windmill or made in accordance
with the most modern methods.
could ever rival the white corn
meal of the South. That kind of
meal can't be bought in the New
York shops.
As Southerners are somewhat
dependent on corn bread. they
take measures to provide them
selves with it after they have dis
covered how different meal of the
North is when put to the eXacting
test of the pone or the hoe cake.
Most Of them write to their friends
at home.
One grocer in a Virginia town
has become known as a purveyOr
of a certain kind of Southern
delicacy that 70 other town
provides so we'll. So he has come
to have lage clientele of Southern
customers, who have immigrated
to the North, but turn to him for
the dainties for which their palates
I long.
He sends hams to his customers,
but has made it a condition now
that they must accept his product
cooked, He no longer cares to
send his hams raw. In the North
there are too few cooks that take
pride i'll turning out a ham as it
should be, he says.
Complaints began to reach him.
The quality of the hams was not
as it had been, they said. The
proprietor of this Virginia grocery
store knew better. So he decided
to sell his hams in the future only
after they had been cooked under
his own direction.
There are other Southern delica-
cies in this grocery besides real
corn meal and hams. Hominy of
the kind called sanp in New York
is quite a different thing from the
article made here.
Southerners like it made into a
rather thin, fiat cake after it has
once been boiled and then fried. |
Only the Southern hominy will |
cook this way, New York samp
never gets firm enough to fry in
such a cake. That is one of the
striking differences between the
genuine article and the Northern
Perhaps none of these dishes
more to the Southern taste
than dried Potomac herring. These
little fish have a great many bones
that cannot be denied But their
sailed flesh is very delicate, and
broiled for breakfast they are
deliciously savory and agreeable.
But their roe is the best part of
them. 1t makes a delicious hors
d oeuvre with out the rest of the
fish and is as appetizing as caviar.
It is, moreover, a delicious accom-
Daniment to the fish.
These herring are unknown in
he New York market, and the
supply is so small that they are to
De had in only a few place in
New York Sun.

THE CURSE OF RICHES
What President Elliot Knows Of Rich
Mems Sons.

The very rich are by no mean:
the healthiest members of the
community. and to escape the
perils Of luxurious living require:
unu al will power and prudence.
GIea. capital at the disposal OF
a single individual confers on its
possessor great power over the
course OF industrial development,
over his fellow men and sometimes
oveI the course of great public
events, like peace or war between
Nations. 1t enables a man to do
good or harm, to give JOY or pain,
and places him in a position to be
feared or looked up to. There is
pleasure in the satisfaction of
directing such a power, and the
greater the character the greater
may be the satisfaction. In giving
this direction the great capitalist
may find an enjoyable and strenu-
Gus occupation. For a conscien-
tjous, dutiful man a great sense of
responsibility accompanies this
power. It may become so power
| full as to wipe out the enjoyment
itself.
There are no more successful
business enterprises than are those
conducted by remarkably ;ntelli-
gent autocrats, and probably the
same would be true of govern
ments if~any mode has been invent
ed of discovering and putting into
place desirable autocrats. The
prevailing modes of selection, such
as heredity and transmission, have
been so very unsuccessful that
autocracy as a mode of government
has fallen into disrepute. In bust
ness enterprises the existing modes
of discovery and selection of
autocrats seem to be better than in
the government, for autocracy in
business has been justified by re-
suits.
The most serious disadvantage
under which the very rich have
labored is the bringing up of chill
dren. 1t is well-nigh impossible
for very rich man to develop his
children from habits of indifference
and laziness. These children are
so situated that they have no OPP
portunity of doing productive labor
and do nothing for themselves,
parents, brothers or sisters, no one
acquiring the habit of work. In |
contrast are the farmers
who cooperate at tender
years i'll the work of the house
hold. From an Address by Presi- |
dent Elliot of Harvard.

4 Tx EAMURE.

Mark Twain, in his humorous
wav, touches the public conscience
an a tender spot when he says
shat, while during 365 days iii the
year the American citizens IS true
Ec his Christian morals, on two
days of the year he lays aside his
Christian morals and does things
which are an ofense to himself
and to the country. On one Of
ahese days he goes 20 the polls and
without blush votes for an unclean
ooss and against the best man in
the whole land if he is OF the other
ticket. On the other day he hides
his personal property in another
State and then goes to the tax Of
nee and swears that he hasn't got
A cent in the world, in order to
escape his taxes.
1t should be said, however, that
there has been a quickening of the
public conscience in regard to the
use of the ballot. There is no
longer as much blind voting for
the party boss as there used to be.
The enlightened citizen is becom-
ing much more alive to his duties
Is voter. There was a notable
illustration of this fact in the cleo
tons of last November. But as
regards the matter of personal
taxes, the whole procedure is
disgrace to the American people.
The attempt to levy taxes upon
personal property is failure. and
each years administration of the
tax law makes even clearer than
before the utter shamefulness. of
the system. That this is so is due
both to the law and to the citi-
Zens who are under the law. The
law itself invites evasion and the
way it is administered serves only
TO accentuate its injustice and
hardship. 1t bears most heavily
upon the man of moderate means,
who knows no way to escape its
burdens. or who IS too honest to
evsde, while many Of the great
estates manage to escape either
through political favor or by such |
methods of evasion as make per
5uTy possible to an easy conscience.
Every year the Tax Commissioners
throw out a dragnet in the hopes
of gathering in some fish out of
the great sea of personal property.
They send out notices broadcast
telling people that they have been
assessed five, ten fifteen or twenty !
Eve thousand dollars, although
most of these people never own
cd $500 Of personal property in
their life. At the same time the
big FISH escape altogether or with
but light penalty Wall Street

Give the Children a Chance.

Mothers should not allow their
love to interfere with the best interests
of their children The career of many
man has been ruined by his mother
whose love would not let him leave
her when the best opening for future
success came to him. Many n girl
has refused the man who would have
made her happy and comfortable be-
cause marriage to him would have
taken her far from home, and her
mother was not willing to let her go
away. Too often girls have married
men near home because their mothers
wanted them to do SO, and have
ruined their lives, and men have been
kept in a condition of lifelong power
ty because their mothers objected to
the way which would have led to
prosperity and usefulness. Mother
love is one Of the very best and most
precious gifts OF life, but mothers
should be careful that their love does
not wreck the lives of those whom
they would not harm for the world.
AS Il rule, fathers, although they may
be as reluctant as the mothers to
part with their children, take a larger
and more unselfsh view oftheirpro
poets for life and will not stand in the
way of their best interests, but moth
ers too often fail to look beyond the
limited circle of the satisfaction of
themselves.

Happy Homes.

Sanford Express.
There are some happy homes in
Sanford. In each of these homes there
is neither want nor surfeit; and the
inmates of each-especially the wo-
meu-are dedicated, but dot sacrificed
to the care of it; they are its vOtaries,
not it's victims, and their love of it
makes it Il precious, beautiful thing
to all who may chance to GO about
it. When the children go away they
miss it, and when the father goes
away he dreams about it and wants
to get back to it. But these happy
homes in Sanford do not exist of
themselves; they exist from the moth
er's love. the fathers wisdom, the
mutual good will of the family. One
associates the idea of these homes
with permanence, but a railroad car
may be home to the family that
travels in it upon these terms; and the
mere body of it may be almost any
sort. Home is not dependent upon
time or place; it is in the heart and it
remains there through every change.
In these happy homes in Sanford are
husbands who recognize the obliga-
tions of fatherhood, and in them are
wives and mothers who hold all to-
gether by their own inner loveliness
and make their homes seem the first
good of life. Out Of these homes are
coming children. some of whom will
be ornaments to the community.

An Absurd Proposition.
Wilmington Messenger.

The members of the New York con-
ference of negro ministers of the
Methodist Episcopal church go much
further than Congressman Bennett OF
that State, or Littlefield, of Maine, in
denunciatiOn of the Southern States
for disfranchisement of the ignorant
negroes. Those congressman advo-
Gated the cutting down of the repre-
sentation in congress and the electo-
raj college of those Southern States
which had embodied the franchise
amendments in their constitutions.
This church conference of negroes
urges the reduction to the condition
of territories of such States as have
such clauses in their constitutions. 1t

government go about casting out

allowed to come into the Union? No

Paper from Cotton Stalks
Company Formed to Develop New
Industry.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
Mr.. W. A. Gibbs, Pennsylvania
Building, Philadelphia, Pa. writes.
the Manufactures Record that the
organization of the Cotton Stalks
Product Co. was completed last week,
the company having been chartered
under the laws OF Maine with a capi-
tai stock of $3.OOO,OOO per cent
preferred and $12.OGO,O0O of COM
mon stock. Mr.. Harvie Jordan,
president of the Southern Cotton As
sociation, has been elected president.
Among the directors are Mr. w. 2.
G. Harding, president of the First
National Bank of Birmingham, Mr.
w. H. Hassinger, until recently vice
president of the Republic Iron & Steel
Co., and a number of other leading
Southern business men. This COM
pany has been organized for the pur-
pose OF manufacturing pulp and paper
from the cotton stalks under patents
OF NJ W. Marsden, Philadelphia. Sam
Piles OF pulp in the natural color and
bleached and samples OF paper made
by these patents indicate that it will
be possible to make a very high grade
of paper out OF the fiber of cotton
stalks. 1t is stated that the by-pro-
ducts OF alcohol and fertilizer ingred-
lent made in the process of manufac-
turing pulp will reduce the cost of
pulp and paper to such figure as to
make it possible for cotton-stalk
paper to control the market as
against wood pulp. If this be true
it will not only be OF immense ad-
vantage to all users OF paper and OF
immense advantage to the South in
adding to this section a new industry
consuminga hitherto waste product,
but it will at the same time be great
blessing to the country in lessening
the destruction OF forests for paper
making.
If this enterprise be carried out in
the lines indicated it ought to very
greatly add to the development OF
the South by the utilization on a
laIg ge scale of a product hitherto alb
solutely without value, and at the
same time complete the circle Of util-
izing every part of the cotton plant
and its product.

A Generous Proposition.
'homasville Charity and Children.

A"ohatS' Nhhiit' ahu
No class of men in North Carolina
have shown a more generous spirit
toward the orphonages OF our State
than the dentists. On three separate
occasions we have had visits from
busy and successful dentists who
gave a weeks work to the children OF
the Orphanage, making no charge
whatever for their time or material.
The other orphanages of the State
have been favored in the same way.
At the Dental Association in High
Point, a resolution was unanimous
ly passed providing for fund to de-
fray the expenses OF volunteers who
are willing to. do this ornhnnage
work, thus distributing the burden
instead OF letting it fall on one man.
The resolution was supported by
several splendid speeches breathing
a beautiful spirit toward the orphan
homes in North Carolina which are
maintained by the voluntary offer
ings OF the people.
There is no danger but that there
will be plenty OF volunteers who will
be glad to give their time to this
noble work; and these excellent gen.
tlemen who freely give this unselfish
service to those who are unable to
procure it otherwise, will not lose
their reward.
In behalf of our orphan homes we
extend to our good friends, the
dentists, our heartfelt apprecia-
tion of their thoughtful kindness in
making so generous a contribution
to our work. The doors of our Or
phanage stand open to any member
of the profession, not professionally
but personally, and all friends of the
orphanage work will feel kindly to-
ward them every one.
The Dental Association, without a
thought except to render help to the
helpless, has won legions of friends
for itself. 1t is always more blessed
to give than to receive.

Teach the Boys to Work.
Gastonia Gazette.

Our people are accumulating at a
rate they have never before known
in the material things of life. Parents
are better able than ever before to
crafty every want of their children.
But it is a good idea not to do it.
Teach them to work. Occupied by
their work, they forget many foolish
wants, and that brain, which when
idle, was the devils work shop, be-
comes at once a trysting place for all
of life's good angels Teach the boy
thrift, that is all right; thrift is a good
word and the wor d represents a thing
Chat is filed with sef-discipline, self
denial. Teach him thrift, with honor
to balance it, and one of these days
somebody is going to be proud of the
boy. Mothers, don't fear to see your
darling boys get their garbs mussed
up at work. Don't be afraid to
have them come home at night hungry
and maybe tired, too. An honest
days work has never yet hurt a boy,
and if it takes enough of the snap
out OF him to keep him off the street
at night and send him to bed early,
you ought not to say, "Poor little
fellow!" Rather you ought to say,
"Hurrah for the days workv The
snap will be all back the next morn
ing. But if you pet and pamper and
indulge and crafty because you have
the means and because you are weak
enough yourself to prefer the ease Of
gratifying them to the sterner path
OF wise denial, then you have only to
go far enough with it in order to find
a heartache that nothing but Heaven
can help.
