BUILD A CANNERY

There is a fortune awaiting the
citizen who builds a cannery in
this valley. The demand for
canned tomatoes and other fruits
was never greater than it is at the
present time, and there are many
tons of tomatoes rotting on the
ground IN the region surrounding
Stafford. The matter should be
taken up by some enterprising
resident, with the view of having
a cannery built for next seasons
output of fruit. As before stated
there is ample market in the
neigh boring mining camps for all
the tomatoes that could be raised
in this valley, and the present
crop could be increased ffty-fold.
A cannery would seem to be a
splendid business propos ition.

Clock to Control Liuhts.

Consul Albert Halstead OF Birming-
ham reports that an automatic gas
controller has been patented and is
now on sale in England which may
materially lessen the cost of public
lighting in the municipalities of the
United States if in practical operation
1t fulfills the claims of its owners.
The controller is said to be adapt
able to any type of incandescent burn
er, to fit any lamp and to be instan-
taneous in its lighting and extinguish-
ing. The mechanism consists of a
clock which can be SO set as to light
the gas each night and extinguish it
each morning, SO as to make an autoI
matte variation of the time of lighting
and extinguishing according to the
calendar. In short, by means of
chart, the street lights are turned on
and off, lighted and extinguished at
different moment each day through
out the year, according to the season.
This is an advantage, it is claimed,
over any other controller now on the
market, one adjustment year being
sufficient.
1t is claimed that the apparatus
would require no attention except
winding once fortnight, and that
once set it would not have to be reset
for year. The gas can be turned
ON and OF in the ordinary way.-Sci-
entiflc American.

uNwRlTTEN PAGE OF HISTORY.
Incident Said to Have Caused cIay's
Defeat for Presidency.

An unwritten page in the history of
American politics came to light at the
city hall in Minneapolis when Mary
Hunter, colored. 95 years old and
former slave, gave her version of the
failure of Henry Clay to be elected to
The presidency of the United States in
1882.
She witnessed the famous banquet
given by the state of North Carolina
% Mr.. Clay at Asheville. Hundreds of
!ables were spread under the trees,
and no greater enthusiasm was ever
evoked by a political event than was
displayed there. Nearly all the prom
lnent men of the south were there,
and the name of Henry Clay was on
every tongue.
His election seemed assured until
cloud of scandal crossed the hori-
kon. Clay, she said, fell in love with
q beautiful octoroon, who had been
freed by her master in North Carolina.
The secret was exposed few deys
after the banquet, and for many weeks
the magnificent girl was the object Of
all gossip in that part of the country.
MY mother knew the girl WE'LL"
said Mary Hunter, "and the talk start
ed caused her to disappear. No one
ever heard of her after that"
In order to save the social standing
,of those who attended the great feast
the matter was not spread broadcast,
but leading politicians OF both the
south and north were asked to pre-
vent Henry Clay from ever occupying
the presidential chair.
How their work succeeded is a mat
ter of history in North Carolina, but
when Clay was defeated the subject
was dropped and no one cared to
probe it further.
Mary Hunter went to Minneapolis
when the Sixth and Seventh Minneso-
ia regiments returned at the close Of
the civil war. She has worked nearly
every day since she was seven years
old and still earns her living by hard
day work. A short time ago she in
jured her back, and for the first time
in her life, she has asked for charity.
Il must work or / will die" she told
Edward Ekman, of the poor depart
ment. IF can get little wood and
something to eat for few days l will
be up and working like l always have
done.''
Mary Hunter has been employed by
several prominent families, who say
she is wonderfully bright and active.
