VARYING PRICES OF COAL.
Interesting Statement Of Facts
By Judge simmons.
Hsnderson lKy.l Reporter, Is.

A1Auefeoh Ah9sl ANohVAtNAf A's
We have been struck with the
marked difference in the prices OF
coal in different localities. At our
old home in Mississippi it is selling 81
about eighty cents per barrel. 10
Memphis about fifty, we believe, Is
the price at the present time, though
a few months ago it was as low as
thirty. Here in Henderson the best
coal is selling at IS cents per bushel,
delivered, and the second quality at
two cents less. A barrel Of coal weighs
one hundred and eighty pounds-or
that is the amount sold for barrel
while a bushel here in Henderson
weighs seventy six. Two bushels and
half weighs therefore 100 pounds
and costs l6s cents for the best lump,
while the next quality, nut, costs i've
cents less for the same amount. Be-
fore we came to Henderson to live
coal dealers in Memphis always told
US that coal could not be mined for
less than twenty cents per barrel. Our
miners here and the st. Bernard at
Darlington will load car at the mines
with the best quality for FIVE cents per
bushel, which is just l2l cents per
barrel, and if the railroads would re-
duce their freight tariffs to reason
able charge. a complete revolution
in the coal market would follow, and
not even the poorest people south and
southwest of us. would ever have to
suffer from the bitterest weather of
winter. Our Kentucky mines are
capable Of supplying the entire South>
west. and. having used both, we are
prepared to say it is equal, il not su-
perior, to the famous Pittsburg coal.
In fact, we have thought it made
warmer fires, and lasted longer than
the latter, and is therefore much
cheaper in all respects.
Mr.. Atkinson, the Superintendent
of the st Bernard mines at Earring
ton, informs US that he will be pre-
pared in a short time to load cars at
the mines to 90 through Memphis to
any part of Mississippi without break
ing bulk. He is only waiting now for
necessary track connections at Mem
phis, and these (which we we're under
the impression had been made long
ago) will be completed very soon.
Colonel Burke, General Superintend
ent of the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad, will no doubt go ahead Wig
orously and complete the connection
at once, for he is a very live railroad
man, an intelligent, indefatigable
worker, and is fully aware of the i'm
portance of this through connection
We are receiving letters of inquiry
constantly, and respectfully urge the
matter upon his immediate attention
