The Art of Carving.

Don't smile. for carving is an
art, and one which comparative
ly few women know much about.
Always cut across the grain of
the meat when possible. | n
carving a rib roast, place the
large back bone on the platter
and cut thin slices parallel to the
ribs, running the knife under
and separating bone from sirloin.
Turn over and remove the ten
derloin, slicing across the grain.
FilieJ of beef or tenderloin is
carved from the largest end,
which should be at the carver's
right. RoGnd of beef, flIet of
veal and rolled stean are placed
on the platter flesh side up, and
carve I'd in horizontal slices.
When carving round steaks, cut
across the grain in long thin
strips, and in carving sirloin, re-
move the tenderloin by cutting
close to the bone. then divide
the the meat in narrow pieces.
Remove the meat from the other
side of the bone and carve in the
same manner.
The thickest part of leg of
mutton or lamb should be at the
back of the platter and should
be cut through from the thick
est part to the bone. Saddle of
mutton is carved down to the
ribs in long slices, parallel to the
backbone. Always carve cold
meats in the thinest possible
slices.
Place'the head of a fowl at the
carver's left, then with the knife
bend the leg over away from the
body, andscut through the joint,
cut again through t h e joint
(which joins leg and thigh. Cut
from thestop # the shoulder
down toward the body until the
wing joint is exposed. Slip the
knife under the top Of the breast
bone and turn back the wish
bone. Remove both legs and
wings beforeithe breast is cut in
two. Chickens and turkeys are
carved this way, but when carv-
ing goosesor duck, begin at the
wing and cut down through the
meat to the bone, the entire
length Of the breast. Cut in
thin slices until the ridge of the
breast bone IS reached. Cut
through wing Joint, then leg.
The successful carver should
work without furry or nervous
ness; should have a steady hand
and platter large enough to al.
low the joint or fowl to be NOV
ed about leaving a space large
enough to lay the cut slices neat
ly to one side. The knife should
be very thin and the

Our SIogan-"Education is an in
vestment; ignorance is a tax"


From the Russell Democrat
Herein lies the Importance of educa
ton. We should educate rather than
instruct, because it is far more impOr
tant to cultivate the mind than to store
the memory, and instruction is only q
part of education. Studies are a means
and not an end.
Children are by nature eager for in
formation. They are always putting
questions, and this ought to be encOur
aged. Their instincts may be trusted
to a great extent, and in that case they
will do much to educate themselves.

Will The Merchants Read This?

Mr.. Editor: l have noticed
for some time and have heard
others remark on what [ am
going to say and that is, our
merchants are not getting the
trade they did some years ago.
Why is it? Much Of the custom
which formerly came here now
goes to other towns. Why2 I
think there are two reasons:
First, they do not use print
er's ink freely enough.
Second, they do not offer in
ducements.
a few years ago the pages of
The Sentinel would be full each
week, and quite often some one
or more of the merchants would
put on q special sale and dis
tribute hundreds and thousands
Of hand bills oyer the county Of
fering Inducements. This is
not done now and the trade is
going somewhere else.
| am sure the editor of The
Sentinel wants to see Pickens

Just Betbeen The Sentinel and
Our Merchants.

A letter in The Sentinel this
week, signed by "Observer" is
very timely, and we hope all of
our merchants read it. The
Sentinel wants to see more trade
come to Pickens and is more
than willing to do its part to-
wards bringing more trade here.
We know our merchants have
the goods and will treat the peo-
pie right, and the idea is to let
the people in the country know
this and let them know their
trade is wanted and make it to
their interest to cometo Pickens.
Other towns are bidding for
trade which should come here.
They are bidding for it thru the
columns Of The Sentinel. We
had much rather have our paper
full of advertisements for Pick
ems merchants, but the advertis-
ing patronage we get here falls
far short Of what it takes to
keep the paper going. DO not
mistake this for a kick" for it
is not. We appreciate the pat
ronage the paper gets here and
know that each advertiser gets

The Primary System

Mr.. Editor: After the last
primary election there was much
dissatisfaction expressed In
many sections of the state as to
the methods used in that cleo
ton. There were numerous in
stances of double voting, minors
voting and in some cases voting
by men who were not citizens
and dead men. Corruption was
wholesale throughout the whole
state. Such a spectacle was
never witnessed before. White
men defrauding, cheating, cor
rupting and swindling each 9TH
er for the sake of office, and
many of them violating the law
: to do it.
1 am afraid that the pace
which was set last year in the
primary will be worse next year
unless something is speedily
done to stop it. 1t will, / fear,
end in a revolution among the
white people Of the state, or else
a large percentage will refuse
longer to participate in them
and resort to the general cleo
ton. In the latter event a bid
would be made by contenGing
wings of the now white party
for the handful of negroes who
can vote in the general election,
and they would probably hold
the balance of power. Such a
step is to be avoided if possible,
and it can be if stops are taken
now to safeguard the primary.
l have heard several good men
say they do not intend to par
ticipate in another primary cleo
ton unless the rules and the
laws are so changed as will puri-
fy them and prevent a recur-
renee of last years farce.
There is great dissatisfaction
with the present system, and
while people are not excited oyer
politics, and while there is moth
ing to keep people from thinking
calmly, let us begin to discuss
this problem, and if need be
call mass meetings to see if
some plan can he devised where
by the white people Of the state
can stay together in peace.
Let me urge the people to

full value for every dollar spent
for advertising in The Sentinel.
But if we cannot get the neces-
sary amount of advertising in
Pickens we must 20 outside and
get it. We are honest when
we say we do not like to have
to do this. We could get more
outside advertising than we do.
Without exception, the Green
vile and Easley people who
have advertised with us tell us
it paid them to advertise in The
Sentinel. It is only reasonable
that it should. The Sentinel
has a larger circulation than the
average weekly paper; it's read
ers are the very best class Of
people, and our advertising rates
are most reasonable. 1T is our
desire that each advertiser get
more than his moneys worth
for every dollar spent with us,
AS we said before, we had much
rather have enough Pickens adj
vertising to enable us to do with
out outside ads and turning
trade to other towns, but in
order to run the paper we must
have a certain amount of adver-
Using and it is no trouble to get
it outside if we cannot got it
here.

build up and | believe every
merchant here wants to see
trade improve.
The present outlook is for q
very excellent crop this fall.
People are going to have some
money to spend unless some dis
aster befalls them. Therefore,
let me suggest how they may
improve trade conditions here.
Let the merchants get togeth-
Ell at once Gall the merchants,
big and little) and organize a
Merchants Trade Association.
Elect officers, have rules and
stated meetings. Let one of
the rules require a membership
fee and SO much per month or
per quarter as dues, Let the
funds thus received be spent for
advertising. Let them hire one
page in this paper and keep it
filled with inducements of some
kind to the trading public.
Will they act?
