AS to Advertising
Costs in
The Chronicle

The average business man when
figuring with the ad. man for space
does not look at anything but the
amount Of money to be spent tor so
much space in the paper. Usually
he feels it costs too much.
Let us figure with you for a mo-
ment.
Take as an example the mailing
Of circular letters or booklets. The
postage alone will be either $1,000
or $4,000 per thousand. This does

are sending out, the labor, etc. AT
the lowest estimate each booklet or
letter will cost you Sc or &c before it
reaches its destination,
Now figure on Chronicle space.
For example, say your space costs
you $40 per month. This paper
goes into at least 1000 homes in
Chesterfield. Marlboro and Arson
counties ard is read by from one to
five persons in each. On basis Of
1000 it will cost you only 2 l-2 cent
per 1000 and the message is sent ev-
cry week for one month for this
amount. The argument thus set forth
is obvious. OF course larger space
increases the cost per capita. but your
message is larger and more prominent

MINISTER WINS FIGHT TO HOLD
AN OFFICE

In one of the most memorable
battles of its character upon the
floor of the Central Conference at
a victory over the element which had
planned to force him from active
ministry in the conference into a
supernumerary relation, because of
a secular position he holds, which is
political job, as deputy state fac
tory inspector under Captain John
G. Delaney.
After the adoption of a resolution
of the committee on conference re-
lations that the minister be request
ed to apply for a supernumerary
relation with the body, Mr.. Hart
zell arose and announced his refusal
to accede to the request. Rev. Dr..
Gilbert, superintendent of the Dan
vile district, presented strong
plea that the committee be sup
ported in its action. "A man can
not serve two masters" he quoted.
This statement was so forcefully
resented by Mr.. HartZell that the
bishop was compelled to call him to
order, with the reminder that there
was a limit to his patience. The
conference had, however, apparent
ly decided that it's previous action
had been ill-advised, and the con-
tinuation of the minister in mis- ac-
tive capacity was voted.
The precedent this establishes, of
overlooking secular work upon the
part of a minister of the confer
ence, is regarded of great import
ance

"OUR NEW MINISTER"
Gardner ~ Vincent VIII be Seen at
The Lyric Theatre.

And now at the Lyric, on Thurs
day, March 81, afternoon and even
ing. we are to have and enjoy that
most laughable of rustic plays, DEN
man Thompson and George w.
Ryer's comedy of life at Hardscrab-
BILE, n. H.. Our New Minister"
Backed by fame of eight years, the
play needs little if any introduction
to theatre-goers. 1t is an uproarious
comedy of the quaint side of life in a
small New England village. Its
characters speak in the twists and
drawls of New England but at heart
and in action they are about the same
as other people of small communi-
ties removed far from the main lines
of travel and progress The authors
tell their story humorously in the
main although it has moments of in
tense drama. They first picture the
village of Hardscrabble, n. H., on a
sunny spring afternoon. The coun-
try store shows well in front, with it's
wares strung out attractively from
the rain-stained caves of long
porch. The White Mountains tower
down upon the settlement from the
distant rear. AT the curtain rise the
town is agog over the reported dis
charge from Jail of Lem Ransom,
a former citizen who was convicted of
completely in robbery. Lem is
known as a shiftless character and
the town is none too glad to have
him back. Darius Startle, the town
constable, starts the first of the many
angles of the story by volunteering to
keep Lem in sight and in order.
Startle is an over officious, vain,
shallow-pated rustic, as stupid as a
clam, but as assertive as a cam
paigning politician. From the blund-
ers that the town constable makes in
this and later situations much broad
fun is provoked. From frequent
linguistic battles between the town
pagan and the town orthodox be-
lever, further wholesome fun is
created. From the way the town re-
ceives the eX-convict, and the way
a new minister appointed to care for
the Hardscrabble flock finally induces
them TO accept him. other funny sit
uations are evolved. This will posi-
lively be the first engagement of this
great comedy here at bargain prices.
A special bargain matinee will be
given at 3:15.

First Production Of Btuminous Coal
in This Country in Virginia.

in This Country in Virginia.
The first bituminous coal mined in
the United States, states the United
States Geological Survey, was taken
from what is usually termed the Rich
mond basin. a small area in the south
eastern portion of Virginia. near the
city OF Richmond.
This basin is situated on the east
ern margin o. the Piedmont plateau.
thirteen miles above tidewater, on the
Jane River. II lies in Goochland.
Henrico. Powhatan and Chesterfield
counties.
The coal beds are much distorted.
and the coal is of rather low grade
when compared with that from other
districts with which it has to come into
competition. The occurrence of coa
was known in the Richmond basin as
early as 1900, and in 1889 shipments
were made to some of the Northern
States.
In 1922 the production amounted to
4S.2I5 gross IONS. At present what
