WHAT IS SAUSAGE?

Before the senate committee on the high
more said that while ordinary sausage
cost of living a meat dealer of Balti-
cost twelve cents a pound, pork sausage
cost eighteen cents When asked of what
ordinary sausage was made, the dealer
divulged the surprising information that
it was "a conundrum. Thus is the curios-
ity of the world satisfied as to the kind
of food contained in the mysterious sausage.
For years most of the people have been
eating conundrums without knowing it
A few persons have refrained from eat
ing ordinary sausages because of the
thought of poodles being thrown into a
chopper, growing and barking, and COM
ing out silent and supine, tightly dressed
in a cute little new skin. The fallacy
of this belief is now apparent. 1t is I'M
true that the juicy sausage contains any
portions of a former household pet. A
conundrum is the only requisite of an
ordinary sausage. For making ordinary
sausage, it is now clear, the recipe is as
follows: Catch conundrum and take ii
between the thumb and forehnger. Knead
il carefully for few minutes, until it
becoraes quiet and plant. Next take or
binary sausage tights and stuff the conun-
drum into them When a half dozen are
made in this manner they should be at
tachcd to one another by leash and hung
up for sale. These secrets of the trade,
as revealed by the food investigation, are
toothsorne, indeed. Give US more Wash
ington Post.

ARE DISCONTINUED
NO MORE BOUTS AT THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE, THE ORDER OF
MANAGER BARKER.

There will be no more boxing bouts
or imitation prize fights at the Opera
house in Columbia. This positive an
nouncement was made this morning
by Manager William Barker, of the
Grand Opera House. The manager
said that his decision was final, that
under no circumstances would he per-
NIT any more contests at the house.
Mr.. Barker gave as his reason for
the decision that objection had been
made to the fights or boxing contests
by a number of citizens and he did not
desire to go counter to public senti-
ment While there was an element
in the community who favored the
contests he would yield to the senti-
ment that opposed them as it was his
plan to put on no show or exhibition
at the opera house that was not sus-
tanned by the best sentiment Of the
Mr.. Barker is being
congratulated by many upon
his decision to eliminate these con-
tests in the future.

RISE In EGG MARKET
MOST PHENOMENAL
HEN FRUIT GAINS SIX CENTS PER
DOZEN WITHIN A SINGLE
MONTH.

An unprecedented rise in the rice
paid by dealers has been recorded in
the price paid for eggs. During the
past month the price has risen from
lie to tic per dozen for this product,
and the soaring price is nothing short
of phenomenal.
Several local produce men had their
eggs packed In cold storage by Bar
ker & Co. about month ago, and dur
ing that time the market has steadily
gone upward, until they have been Of
fered $500 case more than they
could have sold them for at the time
they we're put into storage.
At this season of the year, when
eggs are supposed to be plentiful such
a gain has never been recorded in the
memory or local dealers. While eggs
have frequently brought more than
17c, they have never gained six cents
a month.

some of the Paterson leaders are dis
cussing the advisability of starting an

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. %
When the Supreme Court meets Mon
day, Sept. II, in Knoxville, to select
a Chief Justice for the next eight
years, strong effort will be made to
elect Judge John K. Shields, of Grain
ger county for the position.
1t is pointed out that Judge Shields
led the ticket beth in the number OF
votes and in the size of the majority,
in spite of the fact that the chief eff
fort of the machine organization was
to defeat him. Gov. Patterson's bit
terest attacks, in his speeches for the
ticket. we're directed against the East
Tennessee jurist, and the dignited
way in which he answered them evil
IDENTIFY pleased the voters OF the State,
Judge Shields led the present Chief
Justice, Beard, who ran second, by
nearly three thousand votes.
While, of course, the Supreme
Judges have not given out their inten-
tons of whom they will vote for, It is
learned that strong sentiment is
current for Judge Shields. 1t has
been said that in case Shields we're
the candidate, he would be sure OF
two of the possible three votes.
There is no doubt that Charles 7.

General. No other name will be pre-
sented to the court.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 3O.-S.
NJ. Chambliss, of Chattanooga, has
made statement regarding the mon
ey collected from the wholesale liq-
uor dealers of Chattanooga, and which
it is said was turned into the slush
fund for the Patterson ticket in the
recent campaign. He says that at

ficers he compromised with the whole
sale liquor men and collected from
them tax at the rate of $4,000 year,
instead of $1,000 as the law pre-
.scribes. Partial payments were made
until June. He concluded the amount
due the city of Chattanooga, which
was collected and told the city auditor
he would pay about $4,000 into the
city treasury. The dealers refused to
pay more and after several confer
ences acting under Instructions from
State revenue officers, the original
agreement was received and the en-
tire amount of money returned to the
attorney of the liquor dealers. Mr..
Chamblin says he knows nothing OF
what was done with it. The attorney
receiving the money was George Lam
