H. Cille", and after ac companying her as far as Salisbury took charge of her funds and left her at a hotel there. Hunt got away with about $900 in money, the savings of many years. Hunt is said to have written to Miss Speagle from Charlotte a few days before he came to Hickory and he appeared so delighted with her that he offered his hand in matrimony at once. She refused, later consenting to marry him. Her banker friends endeavored to dis suade her from taking her money out of the bank, and did prevail o?i her to accept a cashier's check, but her new husband insisted that th. cash would be better and Mrs. Hunt . got the money. They were to go on a honeymoon, Hunt being: careful to set possession of the $900. At Salis bury he said he would run down to Kannapolis for his baggage and re turn. His bride t waited, but the man did not come back.' Miss Speagle has many friends in Hickory. She comes of a good family, is a good woman herself and her friends are hoping that the where abouts of the man calling himself W. H. Hunt will be known and that he can be brought back and given what he deserves. The officers are working under the difficulty of know ing nothing about him or where he came from. They believe he was married here under an assumed name. OVEI OIL SUPPLY By the Associated Press. Chicago, Dec. 11. The alarm shown by the decreasing oil supply, with the consumption of gasoline on, the up grade due to the increased use of the internal combustion engine, would, be needless were refiners receptive to revolutionary methods of distillation, asserts T. H. Manning of the Industrial Research Laboratories, in discussing, the motor fuel of the future. : A single simple operation converting all crude oil, except a very small por tion, into a high grade motor fuel, out ranking the present products, is advo cated by Mr. Manning. "This can be accomplished," he said, "by a single distillate from the crude to the refined without the detail in curred by redistilling, refining and reprocessing as now practiced by the refiners. This, of course, will require a disregard for the lesser distillates, which would allay the alarm felt by many at the diminishing oil supply. "The oil industry has outgrown its present methods of production and chemical research has shown that all the agitation concerning the decreasing oil resources is weak and unfounded." COMPLIMENTING A REGION The Portland Oregonian. If Mr. Harding undertakes to select the leaders for the new congress, .he would do well to break away from the Atlantic coast, where the people of the great cities look out eastward across the ocean toward Europe's, aristocracy and plutocracy, and from the radical labor element, which looks eastward to Europe's socialism, the former element beine: unable to see anything west of the Hudson river ex cept a vast tributary country. The man who stands midway of the continent looks out on America in all directions and is apt to have views as broad as his outlook. W. II. Cawley of Hot Springs, Va., collector for a Richmond mail order house, reported to Chief Lentz at 7 o'clock last night that he had been held up in South Hickory by two ne gro men and robbed of $310 in money.
