During a recent voyage of the Alameda
inward bound, an entertainment was held
on shipboard at which donations were re-
ceiyed, amounting to $50. The money was
placed in the hands of Captain Morse, who
donated it to the Chidren's Hospital. The
amount of money was quite acceptable at
the present time and at a recent meeting of
the Board of Lady Managers a vote of
thanks was rendered TO Captain Morse and
the passengers Of the ship who were SO
thoughtful OF the children. The money was
passed into the general fund, which needs
repletion very much at the present time as
the demands during the past year have been
unusually great and the income from the
organization being entirely dependent upon
voluntary subscriptions.

What John III. Inman Thinks ofthe South.
(Knoxve Journal)


In a reported interview with John H.
Inman in New York City that gentleman
is quoted as saying in reply to the ques-
ton: 'Do you think the material devel-
opment of the South has reached its eli
max, and are we in danger of reactiony"
"By NO means. Weare just getting un
der Roadway. The South is the favored
spot of the whole United States, and is
the great field for immigration when we
can get it, and the place for happy and
comfortable homes. This section will
grow rapidly within the next few years.
The railroad facilities are good now, and
are being improved all the time
"You may put it as strong as you can"
said Mr.. Imam in conclusion, "that the
South is the great section of the country,
not only on account Of her minerals, CHI
mate and pure water, but also on account
of her immense cotton crop, which will
give her this year about $350,OOO,0OO. l
think that is one thing which made tho
panic less severe. We had shipped $780,
100000 worth to Europe; that was
measure Of relief, giving us that much in
exchange

This coke will cost from 1915 to $3.50 per ton

These facts show the smaller cost OF coke
