A New Sort Of uel.

The coal famine north has had The
effect Of stimulating the inventive
genius of the Yankee. with the result
tnat already there has been devised new
fuel-no less than bricks soaked IN
kerosine The bricks. it should be eX-
planned, are made of terra Gotta and have
a large absOrptive capacity. When per-
meated with oil and ignited they Will
burn for an hour. The New York sun
prints testimonials to show that these oil
bricks have proven a success and that
many people are using them freely. A
correspondent of that paper warns the
public, however. that the fame from an
entire brick will mount up a couple OF
feet and he therefore advises that small
er portions be used. II is said that the
flame produced is clear and sootless and
gives out no offensive odor. and expert
ence has shown that bricks burn better
if wetted before their EMERSON in oil,
apparently as the Sun says. for the
same reason that firemen improve fires
by damDening the coal" Perhaps oil on
bricks is to be the fuel Of the future.
With the encouragement given by this
temporary expedient it is reasonable TO
believe that improved methods will be de-
vised by which absolute safety and the
greatest economy will be attained.

Tarrant & Kings Cotton Letter.
Especial to News and Observer
New York, Oct. 13.-The following are
lie quotations for cotton today:

Liverpool made more than a full re-
Spouse to our decline of Saturday and
in the early trading of cotton market
developed decided weakness, but as has
been forecasted in these letters, there are
heavy buying orders at limits just under
present market prices, and the buying on
these orders around S42 for March was
in sufficient volume TO rally the market
sharply in the afternoon. The coal strike
situation is improved, several mines
having been re-opened today. and there
is promise of this depressing factor be-
ing entirely removed Immediately. We
advocate purchases on such declines as
we had this morning.

Hot Weather Weakness.

If you feel Jagged out, listless and lacking in energy, you are perhaps suffering from the facilitating effects of summer weather. These symptoms indicate that tonic is needed that will create healthy appetite, make diges- tion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This, Heroine will do; it is q tonic, laxative and restorative. H. J. Free gard, Propr. Grand View Hotel Cheney, Kan, writes: ''I have used Heroine for the last F years, and nothing on earth can beat 1t. It was recommended to me by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan." 50c at Pioneer Drug Store. i

Ills Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont: In the first opening of Oklahoma to set tiers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case became SO bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cbam berlain's Collie,
 Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the groud in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked Il complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel dis orders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by the Pioneer Drug Store. [

AS the Twis is Bent.

The great problem for the suppress sion of cruelty to animals may be solved if we turn from the corrective to the preventive stage. That trite saying aptly fits, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" There is little hope of permanent reformation among men and women steeped in the habit of cruelty.
 We turn with hope, however, to the youth and children of our day for the application of preventative methods. The spirit that animates child to take pleasure in giving pain to dumb crea- ture, more helpless than itself, is the same that prompts acts of cruelty to a child.
 Some boys can find no better pastime on summer evenings than chasing poor cats from place to place, and this un- feeling play is often carried to the ex- treme of killing. A stray dog runs along, boy picks up stone and hurls it at him; yelp of pain tells us the aim was too true.
 Dare we look with indifference at this spirit of cruelty which these ap- parantly small acts are generating in the children.
 Will the peace and welfare of our country be safe in the hands of these, who are to become our nations pro- tectors, the parents of our next gener- ation?
 We can well trust our cOuntry's honor to the soldier who on his march picked up little bird, buttoned it snugly in his coat, and when camp was reached fed and tenderly cared for it.. Why not publish names of offenders against humane laws? A number of Interesting stories of kindness to dumb creatures, collected in book form, in. trOduced into our schools and public libraries may serve to create in the hearts of the young a love for all help less creatures, and put to shame the spirit of cruelty which is so dominant. Clubs may also be formed among chil- dren as supporters of the noble work the humane societies of the United States and the world are undertaking.

it. las though she were standing still"

vate contractors, the majority of them
by the Cramps, who have testified that
had the eight-hour system been in
force when they were contracted for

Louisiana viii be required to make
eighteen knots. and should the speed
fall below seventeen and one-half

liberty to reject the Louisiana, and all
payments made are to be refunded.
With the Connecticut it is different.
And so. the battle between the labor
unions and the private contractors
will soon be on. Union labor finds no
place in the yards of the Newport

way of doing business would be for
Congress to wait the outcome of the
test of the eight-hour a day scheme

be conducted by. the Secretary of the
Navy under authority of Congress
in most thorough and business-like
manner before undertaking to pass
any such blanket law as the proposed
eight-hour bill, now before the Sem

sees in the movement behind the
eight-hour bill the ultimate object, the
dream of all labor leaders, first of a

ondly, of the government ownership of

AUNT JANE CLAIMS
SHE is f2O YEARS OLD

/ hurricane in 1924 that swept Frederick
| and did much damage. She says the
| slaves ran to their masters homes for
| protection. and that the island was
| fairly alive with birds that came in
| from the marshes and seas for protec-
ton. Aunt Jane says that on this oc-
| casion thousands of wild beasts and
| animals at large on the lands sur
rounding Frederick came to the great
plantation to hide themselves from the
fury. Many lives, she says, were lost
in this awful storm, and she has a
number of interesting anecdotes re-
lating thereto, which she tells in her
own broken way.
Aunt James was, of course, a slave.
She says her original owner was named
Matthews, but later on she was sold
to Gen. Tom Butler King. and was in
his ownership when LincOln's emanci-
patton proclamation gave her liberty.
She lived on St. Simon for number
of years afterwards, but finally re-
moved to Brunswick.
She was married to Tom Cylar, also
King slave, and through this union
gave birth to twelve children. all of
whom are dead save one, and he, some
eighty years old, still lives on St.
Simon Island is strong, active and is
engaged in farming pursuits.
Aunt Jane has seen many wars. She
of 1912. She was in the even tide of
her life during the Mexican war. She
had passed over to the shadows when
the Civil War occurred and had crept
on into the winter of her existance
when Dewey stormed Manila and
Schley took Santiago.
When questioned as to her posterity
Aunt Jane was simply bewildered. She
could not remember anything of her
grandchildren, great grand children or
great. great grandchildren, but it is
safe to assume that if they were placed
in a city they would increase the pop
uIation by several hundred
Your correspondent has made an in
dustrious effort to ascertain the exact
age of this very remarkable old woman.
The very oldest inhabitants of Bruins
wick remember her when they were
boys and girls, and it is not overdraw-
ing to say that she is at least 100 years
old, which, she says, she thinks is her
exact age.
When your correspondent visited her
home with the photographer for the
purpose of having her picture made
she could not, at first, understand
what was wanted. and finally the ar
fist told her in a very simple way that
the newspapers wanted her photograph.
She laughed at the idea and at first
was not willing, but finally submit
ted.
Aunt Jane is rapidly traversing the
avenue of time Her voice is weak:
her figure frail. her head white with
the winters of many years. She is
wiling for the critical moment and
IN her own simplicity is a perfect
Christian.
