WHAT ABOUT PEAT.2.

The scarcity OF anthra cite coal and the
talk OF a coal famine and Of l,igh-priced
coal have combined to start a discus
sion OF substitutes for coal. In this con-.
ncction much is being said about peat
and the many peat deposits in this coun-
try. it is alleged that in some sections
peat is already being used to a great
extent and is proving very satisfac-
tory substitute for COAL
The consumption OF Pennsylvania an
Ahracite is ordinarily very large in Can
ooa, and IN the swamps OF Canada peat
0bounds. Information comes from there
that the scarcity OF coal caused by the
strike has brought about such a develop
ment OF the peat industry that there will
ence Tor Jack OF fuel this season, and
the peat beng cheaper, may come into

peat IN Florida are Very accessible and

THE LIQUOR BUSINESS AND THE
ELECTORATE.

There Is q movement in Staunton to re-
uuire barrooms to be closed at reason
ably early hour at night and it is more
than probable that the Council will en-
act an ordinance like the one that has
been in force In Danville for number
Of years, which requires all barrooms to
be closed at 10 o'clock at night.
The Stanton News, In discussing the
questions, says it will be wise action on
the part of the liquor dealers to acquiesce
in the movement and incidently it brings
out the idea that under the new Consti-
tuition and the new registration the In
flrcnce Of the liquor men will not be so
potent at the polls as it used to be I'M
der old conditions. The News says:
Such a regulation will remove much OF
Tho Objectionable features attending the
sale of liquor, and remove also the ne
cessity for a more vigorous course In the
handling OF the question. A blind man
can see the disadvantage the liquor bust
ness will be put to- as result Of the
new registration. We presume the liquor
men are not oblivious to the very radical
change that it will make in the electo-
rate, or Indifferent to its effect on their
business. They are generally pretty quick
to note such changes and to value them
properly.
