Southern Cheer
Fried Chicken and Biscuit Comes First, Last and All the Time In the South and It Is Oood,
Too, when the Traveler Becomes Accustomed to It.
WRITTEN FOR THE STARj BY BION H. BUTLER.
xuxirmixn txnrtrnxxr
I TIT some men the tublo cuts
bin figure. The last time
I come down the roml from
Washington tho train had hardly
reached the broad water of the Potomac
until a sprightly negro announced din
ner In the dining car. ' The dining car
does the thlug right, and how vastly
dillurent from tho old method. Twen
ty-flve years ago, when I traveled the
South for tho first time, I bumped
against the Southern bill of faro. It
started with fried chicken and biscuits
I am honest enough to say the fried
chicken was prime and the biscuits
all right. The thing that I objected to
was that we hud them for the next meal
in the noxt hotel. At the next town
we had them again. We found them at
the railroad eating station. In the next
town we had fried chicken and biscuits.
1 am not surprised now when I strike a
Southern town and have fried chicken
and biscuits olTored me. I have acquired
tho habit and would probably propose
to lynch he waiter If he failed tn bring
either of them.
Along In 1881, 1 had made a voyage of
the South. Starting at St. Louis, I
commenced to eat fried chicken and
biscuits down through Missouri and
lntoTexas.whore pork and dumpling was
thrown In with it, and I finally ended
the journey around through the gulf
states and up the Atlantic coast and
struck tho old Glrard- IIouso In Phlla-
lphia.
When we reached tho dining room I
felt Uko Moses, who from the top of
Mount Plsgah looked down upon the
promised land. When the waiter asked
mo what I would have I told him In a
superior way of the man who has trav
eled, "Anything but fried chicken and
hot biscuits." And when a follow who
was Bitting down at tho same table said,
Same hero waiter," I thought I had
mado a brilliant play. He was just up
from bis first long trip South and he
wanted corned beof and apple butter
and doughnuts and pio, and such plun
der as we looked upon as victuals then.
I hope he has been South often enough
slnco then to know the real virtues of
ed chicken. For It might have been
among tho things spoken of In the open
ing chaptors of Genesis, of which It Is
said the Lord saw that It was good.
No two sections have the same food.
For instance, in Altoona, when the
'ruin stops they bring you a weinor
sandwich. In tho Fronch Market at
New Orleans if you buy a cup of colTee
they throw in a baked thing that
looks like an old Dutch pillow; but if
you have the oou 'ago to eat it you'll
find It is wor'ii tho effort. I stopped
ono day at Fredericksburg, Va., at a
restu'irant where Homo oyster scows
were iinloailini! outers, and told tho
restaurant mini to give mo a quarter's
worth. When ho brought them in,
some raw, eomn stewed and some fried
I knew why hu smiled when I gave
hira the order. That -vas before I had
learned that a man may, in soma places
on tidewater cat all the oysters he cares
to tackle for a nickel.
The cooking of each section Is pe
culiar. When I lived in a lumbor camp
In Elk county, Pennsylvania, yours ago,
tho superintendent told me ono day I
could havo some tomatoes if I would
curry them from the farm down' at tho

GUARANTEE SATISFACTION.
With tho spring time most people have a carpet to bo woven. Now I
have been here for tho last six years and still roady to weave your
carpets inside of a week's notice. The pricos are lower than ever be
fore. These prices arc for both weaving and chain :
1-2 pound of chuin to tho squnroyd. or 12 threads to tho Inch, 21 cents.
1) oz. of chain to the square yard or 13 1-3 threads to the Inch. 22 cents.
10 oz. of chain to the Bquare yard or 15 thrends to tho Inch, 2'M cents.
3-4 pound of chain to the squareyard or 18 threads to the Inch, 2H cents.
1 pownd of chain to tho square yard, or 24 threads to tho Inch, 31 cents.
When you furnish the chain I chargo ten cents a yard for weaving.
Tho chain I keep on hand is of the boat kind all of the five ply. If
I should have to buy my chain rotall I would not be able to give you
these low prices, but I buy it in five hundred pound lots or more, and
if the price of cotton should go down I will give you tho benefit of It.
And if tho piece is 20 yards or more will muka H to order and to fit
your room at tho above prices per square yard, and for out of town
people will pay freight ono way.
Pit aso call and see my work, or send for samples of chain.
I have a few hundred yards of good Carpet for sale very cheap.

creek up to the camp on the mountain
Now a chango from fat pork and beans
to green stuiT was a cheerlLg prospect
so I toted the basket the three miles
and had happy visions. The tomatoes
came on the table cooked in onions and
not a man of the thirty would lot them
come near his plate. We had a cook
from over in Yorlt State who had that
kind of ideas.
We have grown used to the Dixie bill
of fare : Pork jowl and greens, corn
bread and sweet potatoes, fried chicken
and hot biscuits, until, when we drop
into a house where they profess to do
good home cooking "like you had in
the North" It Is atiresomoexperlonco
When you are in Homo it is wise to eat
what the Romans eat. That rule struck
me all right last summer when water
melons were right for taking, for the
theory here in North Carolina Is that no
watermelon ever grew big enough to
cut Into two shares. We have a k'nd
and thoughtful government. In the
batch of seeds It sent me last winter
wore several that were strangers. So
Jn my garden In tho summer were col-
hirds, okra, mustard, cymlings and
lot of other things. The cymlings are
saucy little squashes and we took them
nto fellowship. Col lards are a variety
of cabbage and they are green in the
garden right now. We stood for all of
them but the okra. Tho gardener in
sisted that okra was good and we should
plant considerable, so he was given all
the right of way. We had okra to give
to him and to send to all our neighbors
We tried it og the table one day, and
that afternoon gave tho gardener an
order to plant no more, unless possibly
enough for seed. We may loarn to like
It some day. Okra has a beautiful
flower, as big as a hollyhock and it
grows in the samo inJustriou9 shapo
It bears an edlblo pod almost as larsfo
as an ear of corn, which Is used for
soups. A good crop or okra is almost
as generous as a mow of hay. I think
as between tho two I would rather eat a
big, juicy slippery elm poultice next
time. But aside from okra there Is little
down this way. that I have not learned
to eat without flinching.
Tho Esquimaux thrive on their seal
blubber and would starve to death on
tho rice of tho East Indian, The woods'
mon of Jefferson county, Pennsylvania,
cat red ants as eagerly as the squaws of
Nevada cat grasshoppers, or as the
French eat snails. Once I was dining
with an acquaintance in Southern Hun
gary. lie saiu no nau a tnsli that was
of uncommon excellence I tasted it
and havo never liked the man Bince, for
it was tho tail of the broad-tailed sheep
of that section, and while he liked It I
could soe nothing to it but strong and
half-rancid mutton tallow with a lot of
ot her things to help make tho combina
tion more outrageous. It had the Scotch
haggis beat to a stand-still. They make
a obeeso of sheep's milk over in that
country that ought to entitle the in
ventor to a long drawn out torture and
death, but the peoplo cat it. It sult
the climate, so tho diet of the South
suits tho South, and gradually tho
stranger gets to like hoe cuko and but
termilk and cow peas cooked wftta pork,
and all tho peculiar things, and to think
nothing else so good. '
Even the Yankees catch on to the

spring chicken idea, for In Southorn
Pines they have been eating fried chick
en so enthusiastically that the price of
frying chickens has gone up in the past
ton yearn from 15 cents a chicken to 20
cents u pound. Tho "country price" for
growu chickens some distance from the
town Is still 25 Bents a chicken, uoanat'
ter if it is as big as a cow, although, to
tell the truth in confidence, not many of
them get that big. But in town to Bull
a chicken for anything like that would
be evidence of an unbalanced mind.
The cultivated taste of the Yankee vis
itor has bulled the chicken market. No
man who has lived here long growls at
fried chicken. ,

neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my

what I needed, for they quickly rellov-
