New Way to Make Apple
Dumplinis
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
and SUGAR

BY Hrs. /axet Mckenzie IIill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
Here is a new way to make apple
dumplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.

thousand people, many of whom
were visitors from other counties.
The orator of the day was Col.
James H. Armstrong, dlStln-
guished Charlestonian, and even
the music was furnished by
Charleston musicians, the famous
First Artillery band of Fort Moul-
trie, whose services cost the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy the
modest little sum Of S150.C0.
The Evening Post sent a special
reporter up here to write up the
Memorial Day exercises and, we
understand, the telegrapher through
mistake sent the article to the
News and Courier office. That
enterprising newspaper, thinking
it came from its local correspond
ent, fired back telegram of cen
sure for sending them such stuff
by wire. That, of course, was
calculated to check the enthusiasm
of the local correspondent and
nothing was sent.
In the cool insolence OF its as
sumed power and greatness this
big metropolitan newspaper has no
patience or sympathy with the
affairs or the people of smaller
town scarcely half a hundred
miles distant, whose business men
are feeders of almost every legit-
innate enterprise in Charleston and
who have a right to look to that
city and its institutions for a fair
and liberal spirit of reciprocity.

Oats has suffered also, but with
sufficient rain can make a good
crop yet. Several Of our farmers
have planted wheat and are looking
toward to having homemade

be doing fine, being now almost
in full head. Among those who are
planting wheat are: G F William

of the time was taken up in cross

Because of his long service in the
interior department, Mr. Finney
proved to be a prolific witness. in that
Mr. Brandeis was enabled to get into
the record much technical testimony
as to the general course of business
in the land office.
The line OF questioning proved rath-
er tedious, In fact. an attack OF
Spring fever appeared to strike ev-
cry one connected with the investiga-
ton. Chairman Nelson was absent,
and Chairman Mccall had dini-
Guilty In keeping a quorum together.
Seceral spectators fell asleep. The alb
sence of so many members of the
committee prevented a ruling on the
request of Mr.. Brandeis that he be
allowed to defer cross-eNamination of
subordinate officials OF the interior de.
Dartment until he has had opportunity
to question Mr. Ballinger himself.
A decision probably Will be reached
when the sessions are resumed next
Friday.
Mr.. Brandeis drew from Mr. Finney
