This bill originated in the house. The Crosson bill to create a state highway commission passed the sen ate by a vote of 20 to 12. The bill has attracted state-wide attention and was generally discussed in the senate. The bill introduced in the senate by J. B. Green, senator from Marl boro, to create and operate a state warehouse system for storing cotton, passed the senate and was ordered sent to the house. This measure was first read on January 15, referred to the committee on agriculture and was reported back favorably. The committee on the penitentiary, of the senate made a report of its findings from a preliminary investiga tion made.

On account of having to return to the college, the workers at Batesburg in the extension course brought their lectures and demonstrations to a close. The work has been highly sue-1 cessful. far surpassing the expecta tion of tbe promoters, and the cir ciimstances that brought it to a close liave caused a general expression of regret. The professors conducting ,he work have made a splendid im pression personally, deepened the in terest in better farming in the com munity.

It was a curloue fight The judiciary committer's re port was unanimously sustained, and after the veto was sustained, Mr. Ma gill, Mr. Rembert and Dr. Sawyer wanted a consideration of the report, on the ground that they wanted a record vote on the adoption of the committee report recommending the sustaining of the veto, on account of the passage of the commission form of government bill with the registra tion feature. There is said to be half of the en tire bond issue of the state held in Charleston. The house has.

Disastrous Fire At St. George. What bade fair to be the most de structive fire that the town of St. George has ever witnessed occurred when a blaze started in the rear oi the livery stable of N. G. Lennard just to the rear of the Methodist church, on Raysor street. From the stables the fire soon consumed the large two-story buildings adjoining which was recc tly purchased by Mr Lennard. The brisk westerly wind enabled the angry flames to leap across the street to a large two-story dwelling of A. J. Patrick. Boys' Corn Club Met At Dillon.

By Martha McCulloch Williams. The lord of the winter party or wedding annivcisary feast Is, of course, the turkey?and know ye. good housewives, one end all, that he can be cooked to a delicious turn by M. Soyer's njethod of paper bag cook ery! in fact, the entire dinner can be prepared and cooked to perfection In paper bags, and after It has been eaten to the last turkey bone and last slice of pumpkin. pie, the good housewife will not be confronted by a great pile of pots arid pans to be cleaned?a task that has taken the edge off the happiness of many a housewife who has served one of her old-time famous meals for her guests, j or her children back home to help the old folks celebrate their anniversary.

Is, to my mird, ibe ideal appetizer, but if oys ters are insisted upon, put three small raw ones iu the middle ot the pre pared fruit and season with salt, pep per. Worcester sauce and tobasco. Keep the oysters very cold, and add them to the fruit very shortly be fore serving, thus-the two flavors ie main distinct to accent rather than to muddle each other. Salted Nuts.?I made two bag?? almonds and pecans?and hereafter 6hall never buy them ready prepared. The almo?ds .were blanched and dried, the pecans, bought ready hulled, picked over, scalded by pour* ing boiling water through them In a colander, and instantly dried. Then both were ..put In thlckly-buttero.d bags, set in a very hot oven for half a minute, then the heat was reduced three-quarters, and the nuts left to brown for ten minutes. They came out crisp and beautiful, needing only a sprinkling of salt The Toasted Crackers I prepared were tiny oyster crackers, as fresh as possible. They were put in buttered bag, lightly sprinkled after they were ? in, with melted butter skimmed clean of froth, then given a tablespoonful of grated Parmesan, which was shak en well through them before sealing the bag. Sealed, it went into a very hot oven, which after two minutes had the heat turned as low a3 pos sible. Eight minutes of it made them not quite brown enough?a peep-hole in the bag top assured me of that? so t left them in $ree minutes longer. A few of them stuck together, but In the main, they looked as good as they tasted The Turkey.?Choose him as young, as tender, as fresh as you can. But if by ill chance you must take an old bird, therefore a tough one, then, indeed, you will find in paper bag cookery, surcease from the sorrow of toughness. A tough bird will re quire a lot of grease In the bag with it, aliao long and slow cooking. But the end will crown the means?he will come forth tender .and delicious, also well browned, but not too brown. nr>H clmnlw hnrcHnp- with Inipo tra care must be taken in trussing him?tie down legs and wings beyond any possibility of springing. Tough fowls have a way of stretching out their joints under the influence of heat, that, without this precaution, may make the legs and wings dan gerous to the integrity of the bag. Get the bird in hand early?the night before If possible. If he comes drawn, so much the better; if in a state of nature, pick, draw and singe at once, taking pains to get off all plnfeathers, and cutting out the oil bag upon the "parson's nose"?other wise known as the root of the tail feathers. Wash the bird thoroughly in very cold water. . If there Is the FUNNY BUSINE! Broadway Comedian Tried It on the Manicure Girl and Got Worst of Bargain. It doesn't always pay to be too rip pingly funny. The other day one of Broadway's brightest little comedians began the day with a green mouldy grouch. By the time he had reached Forty-second street he had quarreled with every one but the subway guard. That individual seemed to be a bit rriiable himself. The comedian went nto John, the barber's. "Shave, sir?" asked the barber. "Naw," snarled the comedian. "I ! never want a shave at this hour in the | morning. I came in for a little merry I chatter." Saying which he plumped himself down in the chair and dragged the apron up under his chin. He waggled his hand at the lather cup as an indi cation of his needs. The manicure girl approached ?iim. just as the bar ber as concluding his ministratiou least sour smell, scuid out b> pouring through boiling soda water, followed by a cold rinse water. Drain well, wipe dry, inside and out, salt very lightly, and hang up in a cold place until morning?outside, unless the temperature is below freezing, or there is danger of thieves, four of two-footed. A city housewife will do well to cover the turkey while thus hanging out with either a loose ly fitting grocer's paper bag or a square crash or cheese cloth. This keeps away soot and dust, which, once (settled on the skin, defy wash ing off. Get the stuffing ready before taking In the bird. Dash cold wp.t.er over and through it before putting in the stuffing, wipe inside and out with a soft, damp cloth, then.rosalt but very lightly outside and In. Since the turkey is apt to require the whole oven and long, slow cook ing. better put him on early, and take him up. before beginning the other things. Sweet Potatoes in Syrup.?Choose smooth, even potatoes of medium size, boil' twenty minutes, drop in coid water, peel, dip In melted butter, roil in sugar, put Into a buttered bag. with sugar, butter and lemon Juice enough to make a fairly rich syrup. Seal bag, and cook for'twelve minutes in a fairly hot oven. Pour the syrup from the bag around them into a hot dish. Spanish Onions.?Parboil for fifteen minutes Spanish or Bermuda onions, chill them In cold water, then cut a V out of the hearts. Fill the space with butter, after dusting it well with salt and pepper, put the onions in a bag with a I6mp of butter and a very little water, seal and cook twenty minutes in a hot oven, or thirty min utes In a very moderate one. Creamed Salsify.?Boil tender, drop into cold water, peel and cut In two inch length strips, steep in a dress ing of butter and cream, lightly sea soned with pepper and salt. Put in well-greased bag. seal and leave in the oven a few minutes only. Smothered Chicken.?Have a good sized broiler cut into joints, taking care not to leave sharp bones to the Joints. Salt and pepper them lightly, dredge with flour and lay in a well greased bag upon thin slices of ba con. Cover with more bacon slices, taking care to keep the chicken spread rather fiat. Add a teaspoonful of water, or a couple of peeled and sliced tomatoes. Shreds of green pepper add somewhat of flavor to the tomatoes Seal in bag and cook for forty minutes, slacking heat almost halt after the first five .minutes. Make a peep-hole in the upper side of the bag near the middle, and if the bacon and chicken are not as brown as you like," cook five to ten minutes longer. Serve on a hot dish with gravy from the bag. Good pies demand good crust? shorter than any temper, easier brok en than promises. Make It by M. Soye-'s recipe, then Burely it will be up to grade. Here Is the recipe: Take one pound of flour, three-quar ters of a pound of butter. Mix the flour with water and sat lightly until the consistency of butter. Leave this dough for half an hour, then flatten with your hand and lay your butter on the top of the paste. Then fold four-corner way, and give it two rolls, as usual. Leave your paste in a cool place for forty-five minutes, and then roll twice more. Leave it for forty five minutes and then roll twice again. Bake all your pies in bags; it may seem extravagant, but the gas-saving more than pays for the bags. Use thin pie tins. Roll out and fill as usual. 9et pans inside bags and set Ihe bags on trivets. Cook two pies at once, but shift tllem midway the cooking, from upper to lower shelf, and vice versa. Thus they will brown top ,and bottom. Grease the bags but lightly underneath; even though they crisp thore it does no harm. The essential thing is to keep the upper surface covered and maintain steady heat Hav? the oven hot at first, but clack L^at after a little?as soon as the oag corners show rather brown. Average pies, with average heat, require twenty-flve to thirty minutes. To make the cider-cup, cut thinly I lie yeuuw pcci iiuiu OIA uiaugco auu six lemons, squeeze out the juice and put in with the peel and three cups of sugar. Make a gallon of sweet cider very hot, but do not let it bpil, pour it upon the peels and juice, and let . tand in a cold place for twenty four hours, stirring it several times. The peel can be strained out, but it looks rathe*- pretty in glasses. For tea lemonade, tak^ the juice cf a dozen well-washed lemons and three sweet oranges, cut the squeezed fruit in rings, and add it to the juice. Put in Ave cups of sugar and strain over the whole a gallon and a quarter of weak tea, boiling hot, then add a cupful of rum. This also is better for standing?it keeps several days in a cool place. The rum can be omitted if there are scruples regard ing it. In that case the strained juice of a pineapple *feat has been shredded and allowed to stand twen- > ty-four hours in sugar can take its : place. Dilute this one fourth with mineral water in the glasses. (Copyright, 1911, by the Associated f.iterary Press.) 5S DIDN'T PAY "Sure I want my nails fixed," h<-* roared. "And I warn 'em fixed quick." The girl brought her little fable, and the rest of her paraphernalia. The grouch dabbled the fingers of one hand in the bowl of water, dried them on th3 towel, thrust the fingors of the other hand into the bcwl. dried them on the towel, and then barked at the girl. "There," said he. "I've been manicured. Best and quickest I've had in a month." "Yes, sir," said the girl. "Fifty cents, please." He doesn't precisely know yet why he paid it. But he did pay it. Also, when he left the barber shop he wasn't nearly so grouchy. He told a friend a little later that he didn't think his humor is quite up to par these days.?New York Letter to th?

HELP CAME JUSTIN TIME Lady in Price Relates An Experi ence of Interest to all Girls and Women. Pierce, Neb.?Mrs. Dollle Schilow Bky, of this place, says: "Cardui did me so much good! I had dreadful backache and dizziness, and suffered from pains In my eyes and In t?e back of my head, as well as low down j In my body. Sometimes, It seemed like I would die with the pain.
