s,rIv Use o, Coal In Britain.

Some say that coal was used by the
ancient Britons; at all events, 1t was
nm article of household consumption to
some extent during the Angio-Saxon
period as early as s52 A. ID. II GER
tainly was known there In the thir-
teenth century, ms is evidenced by n
charter given in 1888 by King Henry
III to the inhabitants of Newcastle-on-
TYNE for the winning of the numerous
coal mines in that region. 1t was.
however, not until 1863 that the Paris
ians got English coal from Newcastle.
Subsequent coal mines We're discover
cd in various parts of France, notably
in the departments OF Pas-le-Calais
nud the Loire. In America the depos-
its near Richmond. Va. were discover
cd in 17O1. and mining was begun in
1701. while anthracite was first pro-
duced in 1893.

ONCE America entered the War there has
~ been a great shifting of workers, skilled
and unskilled, to speed up essential indus
tries.
GBoth employers and workers have suffered
through an unnecessary shifting of labor.
Employers have sought men before the jobs
were ready. Workmen nave gone hundreds
of miles in search of a job and wages which
might have been found at their door. This
has resulted in confusion and the loss Of time
and money.
GThe winning of the war depends upon the
Nations ability to bring about maximum
broduc11on. This means that the right man
must be on the right job.
GTherefore, the Government has created
within the Department of Labor a national
employment system known as the y. S.
Employment Service. It's national head

United States. 1t has 10000 u. S. Public

WAR EVADERS FOUND
 AS FAR BACK AS 1776
 ACCORDING TO RECORDS

Echoes of the American struggle for liberty in 1776 have been found by War Department officials in the rec ords of Hartfords county, Maryland. A detached document, dated 1776, sets forth the names of fifteen citizens of the region who refused to sign dec laration or independence. This is said 10 have been among the first moves in that direction by the American colon ists. The reasons given in refusing to sign present a vivid picture of the per turbed state of mind of the colonists. The document reads:
 "Benj Herbert, Jr., refuses to sign through religious principles.
 Richard T. Hargrove refuses to sign through religious principles.
 William Wilson, son of John, re- fuses to sign through religious prin- ciples.
 Benjamin Harboard refuses to sign through religious principles.
 Michael Boser don't sign by req son he signed before.
 Thomas Gilbert don't sign by req son he don't choose.
 Thomas West don't sign by reason it is a mystery to him.
 Philip Cummings don't sign by req son he don't understand the matter.
 John Ward don't sign by reason the Congress didn't sign and by reas- on he thinks that if the English peo- ole will turn the scale and say the commonality of people forced them to stand in opposition to the English. John Clark don't sign by no reason he can give.
 "Ephriam Arnold don't sign for fear it would fetch him into scrape. Isaac Penrose don't sign for reason he don't choose to fight for liberty and never will.

GAST0N B. MEANS
 AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT

The New York Sun of recent date says as an aftermath of the recent trial of Gaston B. Means. acquitted at Concord, N. C., of the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, an affidavit was filed in the Supreme Court here to-day al. leging in effect the appropriation of funds belonging to Mrs. King and her estate by Means for the benefit of him. self and his wife.
 The affidavit was made by the tenn. porary administrator of Mrs. Kings estate in an action in which it is sought to prevent Mrs. Means from drawing out money deposited in her name in the Corn Exchange Bank here. The bank refused to honr a check of hers against the account on being notified that the United States Court for the Western District. North Caro- lima, had issued an order restraining MT. and Mrs. Means from intereferring with any of the property of Mrs. Kings estate.
 Mrs Means began suit against the bank to compel it to honor her check but by an order of the Supreme Court here, issued today on the strength of the affidavit. the temporary administra- tor of Mrs. Kings estate is substituted for the bank as defendant in the suit.
 The affidavit alleges that sudden change from humble circumstances to prosperity came to Means and his wife shortly after he became Mrs. Kings confidential agent, hand ling sums for her aggregating several hundred thousand dollars. It is alleg- ed that he collected these sums but that the records fail to show the de- posit of thousands of dollars to Mrs. Kings credit.
