Justices and Constables
Elected.
Considerable interest was mani¬
fested in the election of Justices
of the Peace for the Pelham Dis¬
trict Friday. The election passed
off without unpleasant incident,
but the four candidates were on
the grounds busily seeing after
their interests. The four candi¬
dates for this District were: Z
H Jones, D M Rogers, B F Alger
and G A McElv-y. Mr. Rogers
was elected by a majority of six
votes over the next highest com¬
petitor. The vote in the Pelham
District was as follows: D M
Rogers, 99; Z H Jones, 98; G A
McElvey, 92; B F Alger, 88.
There were two candidates for
Constable. There was a prevail¬
ing impression that only one was
to be elected, but it is said the
Jaw provides for the ejection of
two Constables, and in that in
bo th of the candidates who
y]y be de
were Messrs H D
Sapp and D W Morgan, the for¬
mer receiving 172 and the latter
107. We give below the officers

Mass Meeting — Large
Crowd Out Monday
Night.
One of those mass meetings pe¬
culiar to Pelham, and always en¬
joyable and full of interest, was
held at the council chamber Mon¬
day night. The call for the meet¬
ing was issued Saturday by the
Executive Committee at the re¬
quest of some of the citizens and
some of the candidates for mu¬
nicipal office.
Mr. J. L. Hill was made chair¬
man of the meeting and Dr. J. R.
O’Neal, Secretary. There were
no special speakers scheduled for
t he occasion and no special sub¬
ject announced. The crowd called
for whom they wanted and a run¬
ning discussion of matters of in¬
terest to the town, and the presen¬
tation ot the claims of certain
of the candidates for municipal
office was the theme of discussion.
The room was packed and a
dienee, then another. Among
those w-ho made speeches were:
Messrs R A Mallard, O B Bush,
W S Hill, J L Hand, W R Blasin
game, H L McDonald, T 0 Battle,
H H Merry, B U Curry, J W
Everett, D M Rogers, B F Alger
M S Stewart, and probably several
others whose names we have lost
in the shuffle.
How to Cure Meat.
Mr. G. W. McMath sends the
Journal the following recipe for
curing meat, which he has tried
and used with great success, and
which he desires to make known
to his fellow-citizens: Mr. Mc
Math’s letter follows:
“To the Farmers of Mitchell
Couuty:—It is now hog-killing
time, and I am a friend to all—
and especially to the ladies and
little children, and when meat is
all spoiled they have a hard time.
I will give you my way to save
meat. I have been following this
method twenty five years, and
have lost none yet: When you
kill your meat cut it out at once,
while the animal heat is in it.
Salt it well and pack it in tight
boxes or barrels, turning the skin
side down. Let it lie twelve or
fifteen hours, then get some green
pine tops and spread it. Turn the j
flesh side down. Let it lie for
fifteen hours. Then resalt it and
pack in the same box, turning the
skin down. Let it lie three or
four weeks, then hang it up, and
you will save your meat
