WHAT TO INVENT,
Some Needed Articles That Will Bring
 Millions to Makers.

From the Chicago Tribune,
 You don't have to be an inventor to invent Some of our greatest inventors started out in other lines. The majority of the great inventions in America are due to men who stumbled onto improve ments in their work.
 Thomas A. Edison, who has taken out nearly 800 patents, started work at 12 years of age as 8 newsboy on the Grand Trunk railroad. For more than ten years he was a telegraph operator, and 1t was not until he was S7 years old that he took out his first patent.
 Benjamin Franklin, who first put elec- tricity to practical use was 8 printers s apprentice at the age of 12, and 1t was not until he was 45 years old that he finally found electricity.
 The inventor of the telephone, Alexan- : der c. Bell, was a Scotchman, who came to this country in 1870 as a teacher of deaf mutes, and then became professor in the University of Boston.
 Eli Whitney of cotton gin fame, was a teacher in Georgia, where first he real ized the importance of the improvement which he later made
 Robert Fulton, who invented the steamboat, and Samuel E. B. Morse, the telegraph man, both were artists until they saw greater opportunities and grasped them
 From a commercial standpoint the linotype is one of the greatest successes This invention was practically stumbled upon by a German watchmaker, Ottmar Mergenthaler who came to this country in 1872.
 man was walking along the street one day when he happened to stumble over a trapdoor hinge in the sidewalk 7He cursed the hinges. looked back at it and wondered why they had to have hinges that protruded from the sidewalk The result of that stumble was the sunken hinge for trapdoors, which Is universally used now. This man liter ally stembled into a fortune.
 There are thousands of simple things for which the world Is crying. the in vention of any one of which would bring a fortune to its originator
 There always has been a demand for a handle for cooking utensils which will not get hot
 Women forever are putting new braids on the bottoms of their skirts An at tachment to prevent these from wearing out, or a new. more durable braid, would fin d ready market
 Flexible glass isN,a mercantile need which would bring fortune to the man who invented it.
 You've noticed the dumps and ash heaps ful. of tin cans There undoubted- ly is way of reusing the tin, but as yet it has not been found.
 Now they are using paper bottles in some places in which to deliver milk. A better type of bottle that cannot be used 2 second time Is needed greatly
 An envelope that cannot be opened without detection never has been made.

 The place chosen for the execution was under large sweetgum tree just north of Royal avenue on the Military road. Their hands were tied and they were made to stand facing the tree when at the word of command the soldiers fired a yolley into their backs as became such eowarcly assassins. A trench was dug undert he same tree and the two bodies uncofflr ed. without even winding sheet, were thrown In and covered over
 Thus ended the career of two of the worst criminals ever nurtured on Ala bama soil and though there were many tories still to be recokened with. no other event brought the same feeling of relief and satisfaction to the people of Florence as did the capture and execu- ton of John Campbell and Charlie Oliver.

Continuing its discussion OF The rate
problem, the house quoted above says;
We live under constitution which pro
hibits the unfair confscation of property,
either by legislature or commission. a
bear would say that even this meant
legal delay, while the courts were being
appealed to by the railroad companies.
but even this does not, we think, fairly
state the strength of the railroads posi-
ton If their demands are just, because
economic laws would act without delay,
which would seem TO mean that. II I'M
justly remunerated, the railroads neither
could nor would offer the facilities FOR
dealing with the traffic, and We should
either have preference given to those
who paid higher rates, or all the traffic
of the country would be delayed In a
fashion which the business community
would not endure.
a careful consideration Of the princi-
pies involved shows that the only useful
function OF combinations and Of courts
would be to enforce the duty OF carrying
for every one at the same rate for similar
business and preventing discrimination or
secret rebates"
