To the Editor of The Dispatch: Everything has quieted down since ! the election and our people are busy ! about their (domestic affairs and business relations. Mrs. Henry Hughes, of the Sandam section, paid a visit recently to her j sister, Mrs. W. B. Fallaw. Our young friend, Gary Price, who i has been confined to his room with a ease of fever, i9 improving. Mrs. Lee N. Fallaw, of Columbia, ! 9pent a few days in Gaston last week j while her father, G. A. Goodwin, was j j capturing bucks on the Savannah ; river. Mrs. C. E. Howell, one of 1 God's most noble Christian ladies, Jaas left Route 1 and gone on a visit to Florida. Cotton is rapidly opening and being gathered, sold and the prices around aL - *v\n?1r TKn nvr. r? i a tim tuirttj^ii t/Ciu main. iuc ? short in these parts. Peas are fairly good, potatoes bid fair to be fine. The good price of cotton makes business boom. Our little town nas taken on new life. Postmaster J. F Fallaw has opened up a mercantile business and buys cotton and cotton seed in connection with the other business. C. S. Goodwin also carries a full stock of general merchandise and buys seed and cotton. A. H. j Goodwin carries a good stock of goods. CottoD seed were bringing 54c here last week while at other towns they sold for 50c per bushel. At this writing C. S. Goodwin, that Nimrod hunter, is chasing wild deer ! m canebrakes of the Savannah river | and of course he never fails to land j his game a part of which the happy Felix familj will feast upon. Protracted meetings are over but pinderpickings are the order of the night and the young folks still enjoy ! life ? While many candidates were defeated in the recent elections, there were many successful, but none more so than candidate W. I. Jumper, who captured the Belle of Gaston, Mrs. Belle Mack, who were married by G. A. Goodwin along about the same time Captain Monroe Fallaw was elected by having a vote cast in his J favor by Miss Mary Rister. who were ; declared duly elected by W. B. Fallaw. | We wish these young people all man| ner of success and happiness through life. j R. M. Hutto, of Augusta, is here for a while recuperating for health I Prcf. J. V. Smith is having his mill I overhauled and when completed will I be more convenient and will give better service. The sons and daughters of Mrs. R. J. Fallaw, Sr., celebrated her 70th birth day on the 13th, by giving her a big dinner, presents, etc. It was a plensan o< cation and enjoyed a lovely feast together. Our hearts go out in deep sympathy to the Associate Editor in the loss of his d ar wife and companion, and > may Gud sustain and keep him and the little ones, and comfort them in , their sore trial of bereavement.

I How Bells Are Tuned. When certain bells in a chime | produce discord they can be tuned, j The tone of a bell may be raised or j lowered by cutting off a little metal > in the proper places. To lower the tone the bell tuner puts the bell in his lathe and reams it out from the j point where the swell begins nearly I down to the rim. As the work pro- j ceeds he frequently tests the note / with a tuning fork, and the moment 1 the right tone is reached he stops ! the reaming. To raise the tone, on ! o 7 the contrary, he shaves off the lower j edge or tne bell, gradually lessening ! or flattening the bevel, in order to shorten the bell, for of two bells of equal diameter and thickness the shorter will give the higher note. A notable instance of bell tuning was at Lausanne, where twelve bells in three neighboring steeples produced only seven distinct notes and produced a most curious discord.? Harper's Weekly.

Why is it that sauerkraut is never j truly fit to eat until it has been j cooked twice, with an interregnum j of twenty-four hours separating the i cooking? And why is it that hominy boileQ and then fried is at times as delicious as hominy simply boil?J5 CUi j In each case every hearty and ar- | tistic eater is aware of the fact, but | no one thinks to discover the rea- j son. Among the ignorant, of course, j sauerkraut is devoured at once j and after its first stewing, but the \ present inquiry is not directed to- ! ward the habits of the ignorant. To the connoisseur of educated taste, to the refined amateur of delicatessen, sauerkraut cooked once is as unsavory a mess as Philadelphia pepperpot or Boston beans. The very thought of it benumbs his stomach and insults his intelligence. And yet if that same sauerkraut be laid away for twenty-four hours, preferably in a stone jar, with a brick on top, and be brought to a simmer in some suitable stewpan that same connoisseur will walk twenty miles in the snow to get a scent of it and a hundred miles on redhot coals to get a few skeins of it. In the Bavarian and Saxon royal families the sauerkraut for Sunday's breakfast is always cooked on Friday evening. An hour or two of brisk ebullition is enough. Then the beautiful strands are dredged up from the caldron and transferred to a large copper or earthen vessel, which is deposited overnight in some convenient arsenal. There the kraut remains all day Saturday and Saturday night. At dawn on ' Sunday morning it is withdrawn j from its vault and transferred to an | aluminium stewpan and seasoned. Then the mixture is heated, and the 1 /1/v 111 va resun is siiueiMiiut uc iiuc. v^v, cooked it would be mere food; twice cooked it is a thing of beauty and a f ats n on the market, lat can be used joy lorever. Ilominy has the same habits. Boil it once and it is food for convicts and political hangers-on, but boil it twice or boil it and then fry it and it is lifted at once to the range of a superb and flawless victual. The man who has never tasted hominy in conjunction with the native wild hog of the Eastern Shore of Maryland is a man whose right to be regarded as entirely civilized and cultured is yet to be demonstrated. Such viands?and, alas, Al II I ? uiey are 100 iew:?ennoDie wmie they warm and educate while they nourish. In the art of eating their place is as high as that of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in the art of music. Hominy, indeed, suggests Beethoven in more ways than one. It shows all of his rugged simplicity and honest worth. There is a directness about it which wins the heart. It is above all pretense and subterfuge. Sauerkraut, on the other hand, is more romantic. It is not Beethoven, but Wagner. No matter how well one knows it. it is full of delicious novelties and surprises.? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Shifting the Responsibility. An Irishman who traded in small wares kept a donkey cart, with which he visited the different villages. On one occasion he came to a bridge where a toll was levied. He found to his disappointment he had not enough money to pay it. A bright thought struck him. He unharnessed the donkey and put it into the cart. Then, getting between the shafts himself, he pulled the cart with the donkey standing in it on to the bridge. In due course he was hailed by the toll collector. "Hey, man!" cried the latter. "IVhaur's your toll?" "Begorra," said the Irishman, "just ask the droiver." Th*? Final Reekoninn.
