The NORTH, POLE;

Everyday, unromantic people
are inclined to be a little out of
patience with the quest of the
north pole, which has been going
on for generations. 1t is ex-
tremely dangerous, they argue,
and there is little to be added to
science by even a successful
voyage; and yet new Arctic expe-
ditions are fitted out every few
years, and men risk and often
sacrifice their lives in dashes
ncrthward.
It is probably true that science
is little interested in these ex-
petitions, for it is fairly we'll
known what will be found when
the pole is reached; merely vast
tract of ice. But it Is the uncon-
querable spirit of man, which
cannot rest while there are new
lands to discover, that keeps in
terest in Arctic exploration alive.
The fact that the ice bound terri
tory surrounding the pole is
strewn with the bones of intrepid
but luckless explorers does not
brighten the new searchers, but
rather adds zest to the adventure.
Lieutenant Perry is the latest
one to try to reach the elusive
axle, and although he failed, he
came closer to it than any man
had ever come before; for he;
penetrated the 2OO-mile circle.
Perry has promised to make an
other attempt, and next spring
Walter Wellman is to start on 8
similar mission in his airship, so
there is to be no end to the
search.
Some day, somebody will reach
the pole, and it will all be over.
What will exploration thirsty.

people who can not afford to own

The electric vehicles have been
under a great handicap because of
the very heavy storage batteries We
were forced TO put in them, and also
on account of their high values.
When | can equip an automobile
propelled by the cobalt system, the
weight will be one half, thereby Civ
ing the new machine an enviable ad-
vantage over the ones now in use,
and when the price is reduced so as
to place them within the roach of ev-
rybody. it means THAT the horse is a
thing Of the past.
Il have left force of men in
four counties, in this state where |
found the mineral, and they will
make thorough Investigations as to
the quantity to be found. They will
report to me and | may possibly re-
turn here later in the summer and
further investigate my discoveries.
| am fully confident that what |
have found here will enable me to
start out on the work of new vehi-
cles, propelled by cobalt batteries.
Most of the cobalt now known to the
scientists of the world is found in
France and Australia and American
industries are hampered because of
the distance it is from the manufac-
tories.
If Mr. Edison is not oversangu inc
in his estimates of the amount of
cobalt it will completely revolotion-
ize locomotion.

CAPTAIN MALONE ILL.
Leading Dothan Citizen Is Critically
 Sick,

Sick.
 Dothan. April 1-(Special)-A re- port reaching Dothan over the long dis- tance phone tells of the killing of Mir Taylor at Preston's Mill. about ten or twelve miles from here, by Jim Levy, a negro. Preston's Mill Is in Dale County. It is not known what caused the tragedy, which occurred at TayIor's home. The shooting was done with a double barrelled shot gun. The negro escaped immediately from the scene of the crime, and the authorities are making every effort to effect his capture. The Houston County officers have been notified of the killing and asked to keep an eye open for Levy.
 Captain A. Y. Malone, a leading citi- zen of Dothan and one of the most prominent figures in the financial cir cles of Southeast Alabama. remains critically ill at his home here, and it is feared by the attending physicians that on account of his advanced age there is but little chance for his recov- cry. Captain Malone is president of the First National Bank, the largest finan- cial institution in this entire section of the State, and is at the head of a score or more of smaller business en- terprises scattered throughout South east Alabama.
 The local sick list is rather large one. the prevailing disease appearing to be humps, which have been epidemic here for several weeks past, getting in its work mainly among adults Chil- dren have almost entirely escaped.
 Yesterday afternoon witnessed the un usual scene of one barber trying to handle the Saturday crowd at one of the two most prominent tonsorial es- tablishments here, while just across the street the other leading shop was but little better provided for. only two barbers being at work there. Illness appears to have struck the barbers of Dothan all at one time.
 Mayor Charles Henderson of Troy. candidate for associate railroad com missioner, was here yesterday in the in- terest of his candidacy He is quite well known in Dothan and has scores of friends. Mir. Henderson expressed confidence that the race would result favorably for him.
 Will Christmas and Walter Holland. it is understood, will be given a pre- liminary hearing tomorrow at Mari anna, Fla, in connection with the now famous murder case in which Judge Christmas, his wife and child lost their lives.
