For nearly half a century heroic
efforts were made to save the people
from incompetence by the time honor
ed method Of "moral suasion." Flo
quence which the world has seldom
equalled, and appealing from the moral
standpoint to every shade Of human
emotion, was poured out from plat
forms everywhere, but the per capita
consumption Of alcohol steadily rose.
Twenty-Five years ago new method
was inaugurated, that Of scientific in
vestigation Of the physiological results
following the use Of alcoholic drinks.
OF this method Professor Kraepelin,
professor Of psychiatry in the Unlver-
sity Heidelberg, says: In the struggle
for and against alcohol the mightiest
weapon will always be scientific inves-
tigaton, which, untrammeled by
rancour or the favor Of partisanship,
seeks with the utmost fidelity possible
to establish facts". The scientific
method which appeals to reason and
self-protection has already begun to
show results. In the United States
the nature and effects Of alcoholic
drinks and other narcotics, with other
hygiene, lis a compulsory study for all
pupils in all public schools except in
two states, Georgia and Utah. This
study began fifteen years ago in the
states where il was first introduced. |
The result is that in the United States
the per capita consumption Of alcoholic
liquors, as shown by the Internal
Revenue Reports, its highest point was
in 1898, since when it has begun to de
cline.
In Europe the scientific investigation
carried on in the famous physiological
laboratories have led to the formation
Of total abstinence societies whose
are in the great universities
whence the truths about alcohol there
revealed are being promulgated to the
world.--The School Physiology Journal,

The farmers Of this section have
about finished cutting one Of the best
crops Of tobacco they have had for
many years, and they now fear that
the prices will be lower since the
American and the Imperial Tobacco
companies have combined. However
we hope that this will not affect the
market any. The corn crop is very
good and some few have commenced
gathering.
We are not as early as usual in pre-

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Of last week were ideal tobacco cutting
days, and they were utilized by all the
farmers around here. Very little to-
bacco had been cut previously and the
practice Is general this year, owing to
the laleness OF the crop to scaffold for
some days hoping to yellow ii before
housing, but the unexpected and con-
tinued rain Of Saturday and Sunday
brought dlsmay to many planter, the
land got miry, the supports tottered
and down went the tobacco in the
mud in scores Of instances, and all day
Sunday my neighbors-white and
black, were busy pulling it out Of the
mud and resetling the scaffolds, in
many instances only to fall again.
Your correspondent doesn't claim any
special knowledge on the subject Of

The Ups And Downs or Anthracite.

fuel situation in the country at large
That paper said;
Anthracite coal was less than a cen
tury ago, when the first efforts were
made TO market il, denounced a fraud.
The people Of those days declared 1t
impossiable to burn such "stone." AT
the close Of the eighteenth century, In
1891, the Lehigh Coal Company tried in
vain to sell 1t in Philadelphia the new
fuel which had been found on its prop
eriy In Carbon county. Several attempts
were made to burn anthracite, but
for along time the results were uniform
~ unsatisfactory. Finally, in 1915, the
secret was accidentally discovered
Tests had been made in rolling mill
at Schuylkill. After repeated attempts
TO make it burn by means Of fire.
quently rakihg the fire the workmen
gave up the experiment in disgust, fill
ed the furnace with the worthless
"black stones" aud left it. Returning
few hours afterwards they were
amazed to find a fierce fire with a terri
iicheat, and thenceforward the problem
Of burning anthracite was solved. But
the people were slow to believe that
it was possible TO get heat by burn
ing the black stones. As late as 1888
one Charles Miner wrote as follows:
"While We push toward our labors at
the mines, hauling coal, building arks,
etc., we had the greater difficulty to
overcome Of inducing the public to
use our coal when brought to their
doors, much as il was needed We pub
.ished handbills in English and Ger
man, stating the mode Of burning the
coal, cit er in grales, smiths fires or in
stoves. Numerous certificates were
obtained and printed from biacksmilhs
aud other, who had successfully used
the anthracite. Mr.. Cist formed a
mode Of a coal stove and got number
east. Together we went to several
houses in the city aud prevailed on the
masters to allow Us TO kindle fires Of
anthracite in their CRATES, erected to
burn Liverpool coal. We attended at
blacksmiths' shops aud persuaded some
TO alter the 't06irou' so that they
might burn the Lehigh coal, and we
We're sometimes oblige to bride the
journeymen to try the experiment
fairly, 80 averse were they to learning
the use Of new sort Of fuel 50 different /
from what they were accustomed TO-"
But even these methods were slow TO
overcome the popular prejudice. 1t
was only when, through a sudden rise
n charcoal, the manufacturers began
10 use anthracite that the new fuel
'ound It's way into favor.

RICHARD 5. PAULETT DEAD.
Venerable and Widely known Citizen
Passes Away-Sketch of His Life.

Mr.. Richard 5. Paulett, one Of Farm
ville's foremost and best known citi
zens, died last Tuesday afternoon al
half-past three o'clock, in his s3rd
year.
Up to few weeks ago when he was
taken sick, he had enjoyed health and
strength that were remarkable, con
sdering his advanced age and the as
siduous daily attention paid to his
large business interests. Shortly after
his return from Asbury Park, where he
annually went for his health, he was
taken sick, and was compelled to retire
TO his bed. Despite every attention
and medical care he continued to grow
worse day by day until a few days
ago, when his condition became so Sc
rious that all hope Of recovery was
abandoned by his physician and the
family, which saw that death was inn
minent and unavoidable. With a use
full, honored and blessed career Of
many years behind him he received
the last summon with cheerful Chris
tian resignation and passed from earth
perfectly resigned to the will Of his
Father.
The announcement Of Mr.. Paulett's
death was heard throughout the COM
munity with profound sorrow and re-
regret, and from every lip there were
expressions as to his noble, Cody life,
which contributed more than eloquent
tribute to his memory.
