Itehould / be bright in color. It should be elastic but firm to the touch. It should have a clean and fresh odor. It should be juicy and streaked with fat. Last of all, it should be cut across the grain. Proper refrigeration will retain the bright, natural color of the meat, will keep it firm but elastic and will pre serve the clean freshness of its odor. If the meat is naturally juicy, auto- imiuc refrigeration will retain this desirable quality and will make the meat easy to slice across the grain. Beef shoul|d have p, bright red color, while pork^iould be a dark pink. Veal should be pink, but less firm than beef. These natural colors of meat can be preserved only in a constant temperature which is neither too warm nor too cold. - After the meat leaves the market, the housewife should be sure that the care taken by the dealer to keep it properly refrigerated is not wasted by Blackville as the guest of Miss Eve lyn Poliakoff. , 1 Miss Virginia Buist is spending a few weeks in Rock Hill with Mr. and Mrs. Sam L Buist.

It was found that almost half of the girls were under average weight for their heighth and age, varying from 4 pej- cent to 16 per cent, a condition worth serious con sideration. The girls entered heartily into the plan for trying to gain. They brought from home liberal supplies of fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, chickens, tec. With tme camp fund these were supplemented with milk bread, butter, brown rice, hominy, etc. Honor System. The girls were divided into teams, each team with a captain. They lived under the honor system, whereby each girl reported daily to her captain as to whether or not she had done camp work assigned, observed quiet hours during sleep and rest periods, eaten foods served, entered into recreational features, shown a good camp spirit, etc. The discipline of the camp under ,this system practically relieved those in charge of the camp of any respon sibility along this line.

Senator Robinson got all but 67 of the 1,100 votes in the balloting for V-iee-President, and to South Carolina went the distinction of giving him the necessary votes to insure his nomina tion. However, there was no danger of his losing the nomination and the fact that the Palmetto State’s delega tion gave him enough votes to pass the two-thirds mark can be attributed to the alphabet, Robinson having 721 votes when the roll call reached South Carolina. The meeting in Houston was in marked contrast to the stormy con vention in New York City four yean ago, and while some “bitter-ender* prohibitionists proclaim that they will fight Smith’s election, it is believed that the breach in the party has been almost entirely closed and there is no apprehension that the South will be otherwise than “solid” when the votes are counted In November. The new Republican national chairman, Dr. Hubert Work, sums up the Washing ton, D. C. f view of the Houston Con vention in these words: “Governor Smith is the strongest candidate the Democrats could nominate.” When informed of Smith’s nomina- tion, Senator Heflin, of Alabama, who odmits that he was paid to fight the New Yorker, expressed himself as being “shocked, grieved and dum- founded,” and predicted defeat in November, all of which augurs well for the success of the Democratic ticket. .
