NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
Indiana Chemist, Thinks He has Dis.
covered Cheap Fuel.

Elkhart, Ind, December 23.-
Charles E. Haas, a well-known
tailor of this city, thinks he has
solved the cheap fuel question in
the discovery Of substitute for
coal, produced by the mixing of
seven different chemicals together
and giving volume and shape to
the compound BY saturating dirt
or mud and moulding it in the de-
sired forms. He says the weight
and bulk are about the same as
those of hard coal, but that a
winters supply will cost about
one-half what coal would cost un-
der normal conditions, when coal
is not as scarce as at present. He
refuses to divulge the name of
any of the chemicals used, but
says they were discovered and
their proper proportions ascer-
tained BY oyer years expert
mentation, based on knowledge
of chemistry gained through
study during his leisure hours for
the past nine years. He SAYS he
has already been offered $4,000
for his secret, though the fact that
he had produced theresults above
mentioned has thus far been
known to only few. The bricks
burn practically like anthracite
coal, except that they last longer
than Jumps of coal of equal size
and the residue is a fine ash, wi h
only an occasional lump or clink-
er. Several local capitalists are

The Value Of Advertising.

Alexandria Herald: 1t is general.
ly a recognized fact that the man
who does not advertise soon finds
himself outstripped in the race for
commercial success, and yet it is ex,
tremely doubtful if merchants and
business men in general realize the
benefits derived from judicious ad-
vertising.
An illustration Of the wisdom of
good advertising is to be found in
the numerous cereals and breakfast
foods now before the puklic. New
breakfast foods have become so COM
mon that it would be physical i'm
possibility for any one man to sam
pie them all, yet none of these
preparations goes begging for pur
chaseron the contrary, the various
II anufacturers are realizing hand
some profits on their respective
brands. And they have only one
thing to thank for their success
clever, up-to-date advertising. These
compounds are all palatable whether
shredded, faxed or whole wheat or
oats, but they would never be sought
after were it not for the smooth man
Iner in which their merits are parated
before the people. A certain scrub
bing compound which is nothing
more nor less than soap and pumice
stone, is universally used because Of
the ingenious way in which it is adj
vertised. A certain preparation of
popcorn and syrup is now known
the world over because of its catchy
name and the originally with which
its palatable qualities are extrolled.
And so it goes all along the line.
The proposition in nutshell, is this:
Any article Of average merit, if it be
properly advertised, will develop into
a decided money maker in arenark-
ably short space Of time.
The man who does not advertise.
or who advertise, unwillingly and
without good judgment, is prone to
|sneer at the various money makers
in the market, and to refer to them
as 1'grafts, but originality and
brains, in whatever channel they are
exercised, can well afford to be
styled 'Egrafts, SO long as they are
getting the money and getting it in
la perfectly legitimate manner
Good advertising has always aid
and always will, and the merchant
who exercises liberality and juGg-
ment in his advertising is bound tc
reap beneficial results.

Still another illustration is
found in the work Of the many

this work has been done in way
to leave no sting-in fact, in a
way to enhance the self-respect

GONE WITH ANOTHER MAN
BarteIl's Fiancee Not Dead, but she
Eloped With Cowboy WAS
School Teacher

Mitchell Republicans
Tuesday the following item was
published in the Republican:
@ L. P. Bartel arrived in the city to-
day from Dickinson, N d. where he
was called last week by the sickness Of
the lady Miss Nellie Potterl whom he
expected to marry soon. He stated
that the lady died the day after he
arrived at Dickinson as the result Of
pneumonia.
Bartel was a former employe Of
this office and when he announced
the death of his fancee the whole
force expressed their sympathy in
his sorrow. There was no evidence
to the contrary at the time but that
he was telling the truth about the
matter
Hardly had Bartel finished telling
about his sorrow when a telegram
was received at this office from Miss
Potter asking if Bartel was here.
He explained that the girl was dead
to him, and that he told it to
shield her as much as possible.
The following additional light is
thrown on the matter by a special in
1.-THE St. Paul Dispatch, which arrived
yesterday:
Dickinson. N. d. Dec. 24.-Nellie
Potter, late OF Mortified, MINI, and
Lester P. Bartel, of Mitchell, S, D.,
created sensation in Dickinson this
week. Nellie came here last fall to
teach in the German settlement. and
from letters produced by Bartel, who
arrived unexpeotly, was to go to Nit
chell this week and become his wife.
But she had found new admirer, and
when the old one appeared there were
some excited moves on the part Of
Nellie who declared that Lester was
insane, and asked that he be lscked
lup.
| The authorities investigated and
found that Nellie had formed poor as.
sociates and was acting under bad ad-
vice. The school board dismissed her
and asked her to 60 home to her par

the shadow OF the night she rode ava,

Stain back for Assistant Door Keeper

To the Editor:-In few more days our
Legislature will meet and then will come
the election Of officers in both houses.
Today / would appeal to the members
Of the Senate, in behalf of Caswell coun-
tvs sterling young Democrat, d. B. Stain
back, who aspires to the position of
Assistant Door-keeper to the Senate.
Mr.. Stainback is young man in the
prime of life, whose integrity is unques-
tionable, whose character can not be as
sailed. He has rendered great and loyal
service to Democracy, being ready at all
times to lay aside his professional duties
to serve his party
During the past campaign he worked
night and day for the success of the Dem
ocratic party, and to his paper, the
defeat Of the Independents in this county
was largely due.
His voice could be heard throughout
Caswell, appealing to white men to stand
by their party and principles, and guard
North Carolina.
AS speaker and debater he gives evil
dence Of becoming one of the Democracy's
most gifted sons. From early childhood
he haC been taught Democratic principles
and today his Democracy is of the truest
and strongest type.
Mr.. Stainhack is man of ability and
striking personality, making friends
wherever he goes. He comes from the
old county of Halifax, the home of Clark
and Ransom, and we appeal especially
to eastern Democrats for support. The
most prominent men in the State are his
strong personal friends.
The day of giving offices to men through
sentiment alone is passed. If we expect
to build up strong party we must
award merit and not sentiment.
Mr.. Stainback will come to Raleigh
with recommendations from the most
prominent men of this State. and the
unanimous endorsement of this district,
as we'll as from Senators throughout the
State.
The Senate could not make wiser Sc
lection than in Mr. Stainback, who would
fill the position most acceptably, both
with honor to himself and the Senate.
Old Caswell's Democracy asks his rec
ignition of her gifted son, and feels If
merit and not sentiment rules, Mr. d. B.
Stainback will be the next Assistant
Door keeper of the Senate.

try and every man has a right to his own
convictions 1 desire to say that there
are scores and hundreds of the best peo-
ple of North Carolina who are not salts

contest.
What right has any man more than
another for this high and responsible Of
fee, except upon the grounds of his own
intrinsic merit and worth, and the service
he has rendered to the people whom he is
to represent.
If his claims are to be decided upon the
ground of moral intellectual and meri-
torious fitness. is there any man who can
present better claim than the Hon.
R. b. Glenn. While l do not wish TO
impeach the claims and merits of others
who are aspiring to ills high and respon-
sible place l ask who has done more
for the State and who has made better
record in arousing t,e patriotic devotion
and loyalty of the citizenship of North
Carolina than Mr.. Glenn.
He has time and again come into the
very thickest of the battle and by his
manly asbre thrusts of oratory sent ter
ror ana dismay into the ranks of his
political foes. But not only this. there
has never been any uncertain element in
his character. He has always fought
upon a high plane of morality. His rec
ord is pure and clean and appeals to the
highest and best instincts of our natures.
Mr. Glenn has never gotten down in the
dirt and filth of many politicians in or

Would it not be we'll for those who
have this question to decide to ascertain
as far as possible the wishes Of their
constituents who have elected them, and
vote for the man OF their choice.
The fact that Mr.. Glenn is not seeking
the place IS one of the reasons he should
have it. He has not Withdrawn from the

but yielding to the nobler instincts of
his nature was more willing to see 9TH

do not hesitate to say that l believe

others, but simply in the interest of one
whom love and admire because of what
he is.
