vice conducted by the pastor, Rev j. G.

though none of the five appointments on the
programme were met The meetings were
repete in practical suggestions drawn from
the experience of men and women who

NO lNTlMlDATlNG OFVOTERS.


Gone of the lumber concerns at North Dux-
bury has stopped work, and several poor
men with families are left in mid-winter in
distress. Last fall these same men were told
they must vote the republican State ticket
or they would be discharged. and they were
made to sign a roll for the republican league.
They were then compelled by threats to give
their free balOts( y to help elect Harrison,
and now they are out of work, like thou
sands of other laboring men all over the
country
To the Editor of the Free Press.
In behalf of the different lumber concerns
and the laboring men of this place, / would
like to correct the above which appeared in
the Montpelier Argus of January 49,
1st There is no lumber concern shut
down nor are there any poor men with fam
lilies thrown out of work and left in mid
winter in distress. The poor men in this
place all have good comfortable houses to
live in, plenty Of wood, plenty of all the
good things to eat and drink, carpets on
their floors, sewing machines for the wives,
organs and good schools for their children,
and some of them have from $500 to $1,000
in the savings banks of Montpelier and Bur
lington, and taking them all together they
are as contented and happy lot of men as
ever were seen.
ID. 1t is not true that these men were
told last fall that they must vote the repub-
lican State ticket they would be dis
charged, nor were they made to sign a roll
for the republican league or compelled by
threats or otherwise to give their free bal
lot to elect Mr.. Harrison. 1t is true that
last fall / circulated a roll for the republi-
can league and | am very happy to note
that quite number Of old line democrats
signed it and said they We're going to vote
for Gov. Dillingham; and both the September
and November vote shows that good many
did vote for the republican tickets
| was compelled on account of the bad
winter for numbering to let few men go,
but they were young men without families
and retained the only democrat i'll my
gang and he will tell younow that he wasnot
compelled to sign the roll for the republican
league, or even asked to sign it, and | sup
pose he voted for the lost cause
Il would further say in behalf of the peo-
pie here that we never allow a worthy man
to be in distress.
Very truly yours,
T. I, WHITE

Mr.. Edison by some aerial contrivance throws
a very brilliant electric light far up in the
heavens over Mcnlo Park which can be- dis
tinctly seen from New York city and de-
ceives thousands of people into the belief that
there is a new comet in the heavens. or else
that the star Venus has approached near to
the earth to take a look at things. This
light burns all night with unvarying bril-
liancy, and casts u beautiful svery glow
over the wizards workshops There has
been great deal said about his recent in
vention, the photograph. This has been
considered a sort of plaything to be exhibit
cd in dime museums, and to illustrate lee
lures with. But it is n fact that the phono-
graph has now a commercial value and is be-
ing used more and more every day by bust
ness men. They talk into it and then seal
it up and send it through the mails or by ex-
press in the place of letter. II is really
said that this curious invention will in a
large measure take the place of private sec
retaries, stcnographers and type writers. At
any rate no one can visit Wizard Edison
nome without being impressed with the fact
that he is one Of the most remarkable man
i'll the history of the world.

A VERMONT COPPER MINE,
The Elizabeth Mine in Strafford-The
Copperas Industry.
From The West randolph Herald.

lf rom the west randolph Herald.
About eight years ago the vein now be-
ing worked was uncovered short distance
from the surface of the ground in the south
ern corner of Strafford abutting the mine OF
copper so long worked by the Vermont
Copperas company and its successors and
ore assaying II per cent of copper was
mined; this was an extraordinary find, as
ordinarily there has to be a lavish expendi-
ture of money before there is any return of
the money expended. The Elizabeth Min
ing company, composed of the heirs of Isaac
Tyson, has organized and active operations
were at once commenced An adit lead was
driven and the vein was found to be from
20 to GO feet wide. y large quantity of ore
was taken out and in time perpendicular
shaft was sunk. \ small water Jacket
furnace was put in, with which they smelt
40 tons of ore per day, producing 4J per
cent matte with one running. Copper be-
ing very low they stored their smelted cop
per and suspended work for about two years.
Work was resumed year ago and the min
ing operations have been vigorously pushed
forward since, under the management of
James w. Tyson, jr, grandson of the orig
inal proprietor. The ore is produced
at a moderate cost and the quantity
is apparently only to be limited by
IHc lOICe eluilOJcl. Inc QUduJy Is
of the very best being free from arsenic,
antimony and other hmtful substances.
The percentage OF copper in the ore increases
in going deeper, with every indication of
further Improvement and the mine bids fair
to rival the best sulphuret mines in the world.
The vein is composed of sulphurets of cop
per and iron in slate walls and has an aver
age width Of 80 feet. Some pigs have been
made by the company bearing 9S3 per cent
of copper. From the mouth of the shaft to
the furnace the ore is easily moved, Dame
Nature having placed the vein near the sum-
NIT Of the hill. A cable car to take the ore
from the breaker to the roast beds will
probably be built during the present year
and the company expect to require two fur
naces to smelt their output. The ore, they
say, is OF the best possible mixture for smelt-
ing taken just as it comes from the mine. 1t
requires no ttuX. The working force will be
largely increased in the early spring and the
output of the present year is likely to be
very heavy one.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHARLOTTE.
James Miller, IA Prominent Farmer, Killed
While showing n Revolver.

The people of Charlotte We're startled Fri
day by the news of the terrible accident
by which Mr.. James Miller, a prominent
and well-to-do farmer living in the south
part of the town, lost his life by the acct
dental discharge OF a pistol. The circum-
stances are as follows: A young man by
the name of Sheldon, who has been the clerk
in the American house, Nergennes, was visit
ing Mr. Miller at his home, and Thursday
evening Mr. Miller was showing him some
weapons which he owned, among them being
a self cooking pistol of Al calibre. Hehand-
ed the pistol to Mr.. Sheldon with the ques-
ton how he liked that one. Mr.. Sheldon
took the weapon and asked if it was loaded
and received the reply that it was not. He
then pulled the trigger in the same position
i'll which it had been handed him. when the
pistol was discharged, the ball entering his
right limb at the groin completely shattering
the bones death resulting from the shock to
his system.
DR.. Cram of Ferrisburgh was Immediately
summoned and he responded at once but it
was impossible to do anything for the un-
fortunate man and he died at 1920 Friday
morning. Before his death he completely
exonerated Mr.. Sheldon from all blame,
which he attached upon himself.
James Miller's Funeral.
James Miller, late of Charlotte, who was
ccdentally shot last week, was buried
Sunday.

PROFITABLE COWS.


Mr.. Winslow of the board said that there
is no business in the world equal to dairying
yet no business has been handled so ignor-
antly and shiftles,ly, Too many farmers do
not know their own stock, do not know
which cows pay and which do not. Half
the COWS in the State do not pay for what
they eat, to say nothing about the labor
About one-third run you in debit one third
pay expenses and the rest have to make up
the loss. 1t costs nearly as much to keep
a poor COW as a good one. 1t is wise for "a
man to know his cows individually. He
may have a COW that gives a very large
amount of milk in June and an
other that viii not give half as much then
but would give more in the whole season
lie should weigh the milk the year round.
NO man is smart enough 10 remember the
amount and it must be weighed and register
ed. The quality of milk should be tested
also, and after both these tests, he will be
surprised at the number of poor cows he is
keeping We do not run dairy for the
fun of it, but must know that we are get
ting IA dividend.
In the case of new breeds being introduce

animals Us far rs possible the same condi-
ton as they had in their native country.
Amy cattle brought here and kept poorer

breed cattle that come from countries sim

The Jerseys and Ayrshires come from
similar sections and develOpe faVorably in
our sections. These animals have been bred
for number of generations for butter and
cheese and size has not been developed.
These breeds have good digestion, are good
feeders and a great tendency to convert feed
into milk.
Holsteins have been bred in much richer
pastures then ours and for New England
are not as profitable cattle as either of the
former breeds mentioned. For my own
