FOR HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

To the Citizens of Garrett County, Md:
| hereby announce myself as an aSpirant
for the office of the House of Delegates
Along with this announcement | viii give
few points concerning the platform upon
which | will stand. If the voters make me
one OF their choice to represent them in the
halls of the legislature,
First am a temperance man and will
endeavor to, and will if it be possible, pass
a law to give the people of this county a
right to say whether or not spirituous liquors
shall be sold.
Second-I will do all that is in the power
of any member of the house to frame and
help frame all such laws that will be benef-
cial, will protect and def md the citizens and
voters of the state and county.
/ want to further stipulate in this letter
accompanying my announcement this may
he the first time in the history of the world
that any man aspiring for otfice has placed
himself before the public in this way. be
Heve if not here the time viii soon come
when the party who aspireS for any office
should announce himself in the county pa
pers. and then leave the decision with the
voters. l am further going to state to you,
my friends, that ! am not going to give you
a personal call and haudShaKe ana tell you
ali the good things | could do for YOU and
how little has been done in the past, and tell
you how little my opponent knows and how
mean a man he has been.
Now. this leads me up to where | believe
all men, rich and poor, are ON equal footing
once in every year. That is on election day.
Voters, cast your vote on election day at the
lOl Illt NOu llLliih - 'lCStl lits
Do not allow yourself TO be persuaded from
your own honest views. And again, my
friends. when we look back to the past and
realize that we are standing upon the ground
of independence and freedom under the
Stars and Stripes of old Glory baptized in
blood which our fathers fought for, it ap-
pcalS to me that we are trampling the rights
of Independence and breaking the laws of
freedom. Give me Liberty or give me
death"
Now ! further want to say to you, voters.
if you so desire to make me one of your
choice will appreciate il.

rloney Possibilities of a Ton of Coal.

Do you know what an immense
number of things can be produced from
ton of coal?
You can get 1900 pounds of coke. 90
gallons of ammonia water and 14O
pounds of coal-tar, says an arithmeti-
cal writer.
If you will distil the coal-tar it will
yield SO pounds of pitch, II pounds of
creosote, IA pounds Of heavy oils, 9
pounds of naphthaline, 4 pounds of
naphtol, 2 popnds of solvent naphtha,
over pound each of aurine, benzine,
analine. toludine. nearly half-a-pound
of anthracene and nlne-tenths of a
pound of toluene of coal-tar
From the last named we obtain the
substance known as saccharine, which
is 290 times as sweet as the best cane
sugar, one part of it giving a sweet
taste to a THOUSAND parts Of water.
BY using ton of coal in this way you
can get more profit out of it than by
selling it for burning.
