While the coal deposits that under
bio $500 square miles Of land in Ala
bama are almost untouched, the repub-
lies Of South America and Central
America are supplied with cheap coal
BY Great Britain. In ihe year 1881
Great Britain sold -, 76l .l93 worth OF
bituminous coal TO these countries and
10 The West Indies, while ouly 1923 Cos
worth was sold 70 them by the United
States. The merchants Of Mobile are
beginning 10 think that their state,
whose coal area is half as large - Tho
entire coal area Of Great Britain, should
try tc get this trade.

A curious fact shown by the United
States Treasury's balance sheet at the
close Of this years business is that
there Is nearly $40, o00, 900 Of outstand-
gscsay-..ment securities on which the
money is due and uncalled for, writes
the Washington correspondent Of the
Louisville Commercial. On all Of
these interest has been closed, and
there q be no possible reasons for the
holders TO delay presenting them for
retention. Some Of them have been
due for many years. On some of them
are due largo sums Of interest, which
ksye not been called for, 10 that the in
tercss on III csc alone amounts 10 $347, :
900. What has become Of these docu-

Is something no one San ind out. Some
Of them iuaturcd a half q century ago,
