Antiquity of Coal.

IT Is thought that the earliest refer
ence to coal is that found In the
writings OF Aristotle and of Theophras-
tuS. who lived about 238 BIC.
There Is evidence that coal was used
In England as early as the year $50.
According to Bishop PudSey, Escomb
and BiShopwearmouth were two of the
1a-sliest coal-mining settlements. New
q lie coal appears to have come into
notice about the year 1884, when Henry
III granted the inhabitants a charter
authorizing them to mine for it.
The Chinese knew of and used coal
In the thirteenth century. The earliest
reference to coal in Belgium is assigned
TO the year 1893, when blacksmith at
Liege is said to have been the first In
the kingdom to employ it as fuel.
Paris received its first coal from New
castle in 1920. In Scotland coal was
worked as early as the twelfth century.

I read in the papers. Us
AA poor misguided Democrats
Y don't seem to be able to get
our minds on anything. We
are lust sorter stunned. The Demo-
Gratis had mighty pretty hopes there
for awhile. It looked like the Postof<
fee was about to change hands and
get back to where they belonged. For
a Democrat is just naturally Post
Master. That Is just about one OF the
few things he is fitted for. He never
has had much work at 1t. but he just
comes by it natural to want to meet
and talk with people. He would just
love to get all the news that's on Post
Cards, and going over and bringing the
mail sack from the train is just about
his idea of about the proper amount Of
daily eXertion.
You know the Democrat at heart Is
iust naturally an amiable fellow He
would rather talk with you anytime
than make a dollar off you. He just
loves politics, not. for what he can get
out OF EN-, for he never has received
much of dividend on his political in
vestment, but he just wants to be
known as a Politician.
Now a Republican don't, he wants
politics to be known as his side line.
He is Sorter ashamed OF 1t. He wants
to work at it, but he wants people to
believe he don't have too. But the old
Democrat he is still SO old fashioned
that he thinks its one of the honored
professions. Just let him head a few
committees, and make a few speeches
every once in awhile and he is IN his
glory. He will miss his supper to eX-
plain to you what Jeffersonian prin-
ciples are. He don't know what they
are, but he has heard EN- spoken of
SO often in speeches that he knows that
no speech Is complete without wishing
that we would return to those prin-
ciples and the only thing that keeps US
from not returning to them Is that very
reason we don't know what they were
Jackson Is another life saver in their
legends, you take him out of there and
you would just about lessen Democratic
conversation so percent.
That's why would like to have seen
him got some work at this late unpleas-
antness. He has been laying off now
for eight years, and he would have
made somebody an awful good hand.
The Republicans have just taken it
for granted that their positions are per-
manent He has been running that
Post once so long that he is as in
! dependent as q bank vice President. Hs

mail The Post ONCE to him Is just
subsidiary of the Republican head
quarters. A Democrat is tolerated in
there but they don't want him to litter
up the place with his presence. But
when the Democrats get their clutches
on it, why the Post Office is a cross
between the country grocery store and
modern Night Club. They welcome any,

of an argument When they hand you

threads of life up and get started

MinnetOskanS Like to Have
Visitors Watch Their Games
(Rv One of Thenll

All day long joy and excitement
reign supreme at camp Minnetoska,
for the happy Minnetoskans are busy
carrying out their varied schedule.
Games occupy a large percentage of
the campers time. They practice in
the morning and afternoon for the
Blue and Gray games at night.
Oh, forgot all of our Oakland
friends are not aware of the fact that
the camp is divided into two teams
and that the winning teams win cup,
offered by DR.. H. w. McComas.
Games are not the only phase of
land sports, because every Saturday
we have field meet which includes
relays, high jumping and baseball
throws. The camp spirit is kept up
by offering the letter IN" to all those
successfully fulfilling the qualifca-
lions which the directors of the camp
specify.
There are three distinct classes: the
first is easy enough for every camper
to acquire by the end of the summer;
the second is more difficult and the
third is possible to none but all-round
campers.
The directors and counsellors also
offer cup for craftsmanship which
means that the camper who wins this
coveted prize must be good winner
and just as good loser, besides be-
ing a friend to all. Altogether, camp
life is very exciting and we'd be very
glad to see our neighbors from Oak
land and vicinity at one of our Blue
and Gray combats.

Own Twelve Acre Sight on Deep
Creek Lake Near Swant0n-
Cottages To Be Erected.

Citizens of Piedmont, Westernport
and Luke, have formed an organiza-
ton to be known as the Green Glade
Club and are constructing house on
Deep Greek Lake, two miles west of
Swanton. The camp site, consisting
of twelve and one-half acres, was
purchased by nineteen business and
professional men of the community.
To House Visitors
The club house, twenty-six feet
square, with four sleeping rooms, will
be used to house visitors at the camp
until such time as the club members
have constructed cottages for the use
of themselves and families. Recently
the members conducted drawing in
which they selected sites for their cot
tages.
Along the waters edge there is a
grove of pines and farther back a va
riety of other fine shade trees. Be
cause of the high altitude the weather
conditions in summer are ideal for a
camp.

MARRIAGE DIFFICULTIES

Without exception, the Mayor and
Council, on Monday evening, passed
one of the best ordinances that has
as its object the welfare of its citi-
zens and for the good name of Oak
land, during the present administra-
tion.
That ordinance, as will be seen by
referring to the advertising pages of
The Republican today, is the one pro-
hibiting anyone within the corporate
limits of Oakland offering their SER
vices to prospective bridal couples in
securing a marriage license or in Sc
curing the services of a minister to
perform the marriage ceremony.
Several years ago there were only
certain times when these public So
licitors were seen about the streets
and that was about the time of the
arrival of trains over the B. & @.
railway which usually brought to
Oakland one or more couples seeking
marriage. Now, however, when pros
pective brides and grooms are able
to come here at any time in automo-
biles there is ever a watchful eye kept
for them at the corner of Third and
Alder streets and at Third and Oak
streets and at other advantageous
points near the Court House.
Anyone looking like he had a desire
to get married and who happened to
be walking along with someone of the
opposite sex, was invariably pounced
upon, whether to his liking or not, and
guided to the Court House. Many Of
the visitors fell for the advances made
for quite a number of the visitors did
happen to be looking for the Court
House, and being in a peculiar state
of mind, were trustful and innocent.
But their peacefulness was invaria-
bly, disturbed when the price of hire
was demanded by these solicitors, and
from that moment until the end of
their days their peacefulness would
likely be disturbed every time they
thought of Oakland and the treatment
they had received here. Last year it
was possible for 1900 people to carry
a bad opinion of Oakland away with
them to many towns in the surround
ing states.
The law has been enacted by the
city authorities and it will be enforced
to the limit and from henceforth Oak
land will be better thought of as a
town; it's citizens will be likened unto
the town, and what has been bad
situation here for many years will dis
appear in the very near future.

THE SHADOW OF TAMMANY

In his preface the author says:

Tammany is an entity whose

the Presidency. Such an effort creates
a nationwide issue of the first impor-
lance. 1t may be said that other
members of Tammany Hall have been
candidates for President. Samuel j..
Tilden, ambitious and astute, was for
time Tammany man. But he left
the Hall and fought it. He was a
Presidential nominee at a time when
it was in temporary eclipse. Governor
Smith, on the contrary, is its candi-
date when it is at the height of its
power and influence. Tammany op'
posed Tilden. 1t opposed Cleveland.
1t is now giving Governor Smith its
united and enthusiastic support.
Locally this may be of great value
to the Democratic nominee, but ma
tionally it is an enormous liability.
