RA77LESNAKE BARBECUE.

We are very fond of barbecued
pig but barbecued rattlesnakes is
one too many for US. The following
Associated Press dispatch sent out
from Americas Ca, tells the story:
Home raised diamond backed
rattlesnakes, barbecued and served
in nice tender portions will be the
main epicurean attraction of a feast
planned for the attorneys Of this city
by Nose Henderson, an ante bellum
negro, who declares there's nothing
more delicious and satisfying than a
reptile sandwich.
Nose has already extended the in
vitations and declares the feast will
take place at local cafe. He has a
couple of huge rattlers in coop fat
tening against the time for the feast
and should his guests eat too heartily,
Nose will just step over into the
bull rushes back of his home on
Mullet street, near Muckale creek,
and bring in half dozen or 50
squirming victims while the hungry
trong waits.
1t is said that many of the old
time darkies really like rattlesnake
meat, declaring that it is white, juicy
and savory and more delicate than
fish or chicken.

Mr.. J. Arlington Kitchin has a

The Lakeshore farm is picking cot
ton this week.
Miss Sarah T. Knight, of Ring

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Griffith, of
Buffalo, N. Y, are visiting the
Boomer family at Sycamore Alley

Rev.:G. w. May filled his regular
appointment at Hickory Chapel Sun

After three weeks of intense suf-
fering Mrs Ed. johnson passed away

scene when death came. She was
laid to rest Saturday afternoon at

rowing friends Mrs. johnson was
the oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Price, Of Nash county. In the
year 1897 she was united in marriage
to Mr.. Ed. Johnson, of johnson
county. To this union were born
six children, who, with a loving
husband, survive her. In the year
1909 she protested faith in Christ,
gave blessed experience on the
bank of Swift creek, at Gold Rock,
Nash county, and was baptized by
Rev. G.: w. May and received into
full fellowship of Hickory Chapel
church, where she remained faith
ful and consistent member until
death. May the Lord comfort the
bereaved ones in their sore distress.

Vance "Dish0nest Man."

Whenever a preacher makes a state
rnent that is questioned he always
has an ihfallibleauthority to. appeal
to, and if he finds it in the Word
there is an end Of discussion. The
thus saith the Lord settles it.
In the realm of Democracy, the
Democrats are fortunate in having a
high source to which all mooted
questions can-be safely appealed.
jefferson, the founder Of the Demo
cratic party, put in writing princi-
pies that fit conditions now as well
as in 1900, when he was chosen Pres
dent. In North Carolina, from 1866
to his death, the word of Vance was
the last word in Democratic council,
and though dead, he yet speaketh.
In matters of national party prlncl-
pies, jefferson is the law-giver; IN
matters Of party policies, SO far as
North Carolina is concerned, the
counsel of Vance is still sought and
followed. In 1892 Vance opposed
the nomination of Cleveland, but
when he was nominated gave him
sincere support. When some other
Democrats seemed inclined not to
support the regular nominee OF the
party. Vance wrote letter that con,
tanned these words:
If we refuse to abide by the voice
of the majority of our fellow-Demo-
Gratis, freely and unanimously ex-
pressed in friendly convention, there
is an end of all associated party eff
fort in government; if we personally
participate in that consultation or
convention and refuse to abide by
the decision of the tribunal of our
own selection, then there is an end
of all personal honor among men,
and the confidence which is neces-
sary to all combined effort, is gone
forever. The man who is proposing
to collect if he wins and to repudiate
if he loses is by all classes Of people
considered a dishonest man."
It will be wise for Democrats to
cut out these words Of gold that
contain the chart of political integri-
ty and quote them whenever any
Democrat is attempted to become a
dishonest man. in the definition of
the immortal Vance.-News and
observer. &

The fact that Marion Butler is
controlling the Republican party in
this State ought to be enough to de-
feat that party in every Congress

cratic Congressman to Washington,

State. Let every Democrat do his
full duty at the November election
by registering his vote against all
that even looks like the name of
Butler. Down with Butler and But

It is an Inflammation caused by peer

soon passes away.
Never in the memory Of the oldest
skipper running to this port has the fog
hung so persistently over the waters
along the coast as it has this summer.
one captain said that they were COM
PEELED to chew fog every trip his vessel
had made to Boston during the last six
weeks, and he comes to Boston usually
about once a week.
Captain Higgins and the officers of
the United States Fruit company's pas

this morning after a good run from
jamaican ports, were among those
whose eyes were affected by the fog.
Running through fog and trying to dis
