Only HaIfthe Story.

The question has often been asked why
PoCahontas coal has been pronounced better
than the Georges Creek product for steamship
purposes. We will tell you. While it is
plain fact that our coal is far superior TO that
of the Pocahontas region for all purposes,
the operators of that region make it point
to entertain the United States naval officers
with a supper and ball frequently, and the
servants of Uncle Sam do the rest The
reader can now readily perceive why Poca-
hontas coal is pronounced the best for steam
ship purposes. Recie~.
That is very plausible, but it tells
only about half the story.
Those same operators employed a
man named Hughes in 1882 to do some
walking delegate business for them.
They told HIM that the miners of
Georges Creek were a set of gudgeons,
who could easily be organized into a
strike and kept out for long time
Meanwhile, Pocahontas, with slight.
ly superior analysis, could march into
the promised land and take possession.
The scheme worked like charm
for Pocahontas.
We understand that something like
it is again working.
And the Reoie~ seems to be its
prophet.

A Great Strike Imminent

The National Miners convention, in
session at Columbus. Ohio, adopted
the following resolution Wednesday :
That on and after II o'clock noon. Satur-
day, April p, 1894, no coal shall Toe mined in
any state or territory where the organization
has control, until authorized by the national
officers or executive board.
This a plain testimonial of the fact
that the consumers are at last recog-
uized as the true defendants in the
case.
The third party the coal com
pa"ies-will be the least hurt of the
interested trio.

Newspaper Life III Homecoming.

There is a severely different way of
looking at things in Homecoming.
For instance, the Reyiew says:
With its issue of March 23rd the R,Vicw
threw bombshell into the journalistic camp
of the operators in Frostburg, and Judging
from the amount of space which their paper
makes use of to explain, ridicule and insult,
our small shell must have had most terrible
effect. Our opinion of fictitious "independ-
ent labor paper" does not seem to conform
with their ideas at all, and now is the time to
subscribe for the Reyiem, the only fearless and
true friend of the miners of the George S
Creek region.
The Homecoming Star, however, is
dlscrepant. 1t says:
Wasn't that daisy the Journal gave the
RtOiem-that paper which poses as a labor
advocate-last week ? My, how the head of
that ''downv checked editor of the Reriem
must ache
Here the JOURNAL draws the curtain,
for it is not fraternal to profane by
further insight the mutual thumpings
of those journalistic hearts of Iona
coming.

Coal WRONGLY CataIODued.

With free wool the demand for American
wool to mix with imported woods increases
greatly and so advances the price of the
former. The more foreign wool imported
the better, therefore, for the American wool
grower. The same principle applies to iron
ore, coal and iron, but short-sighted pro-
tectionists cannot see it.-Baltimore Sun.
1t is very hard to "see" just what
kind of foreign coal it is that, mixed
with Georges Creek coal for instance,
makes the latter better.
Wool, ore and iron, taking other
forms under processes Of development,
may be improved by amalgamation
with the finer foreign materials, but
how American coal Of high quality
can be reinforced by medley with iu-
ferior fuels from abroad is problem
in physics yet to be solved.

The After Holiday Travel South Be-

Now that the holidays are over the rush

the 18th of the month the hotels will be
crowded. The cold penetrating weather
in the north is gladly left for the warm
delightful climate in the south by those
who leave home. Winter vacations are
taken now Just as in summer, and thou
sands of people go to Florida annually.

will not be ready until next month.
The arrivals at the Pulaski and De Soto

weeks the streets of Savannah will be
filed with tourists. The indications now
are that the business will be heavier than
heretofore and the railroads and hotels
are making their plans accordingly.

THE COTTON CROP.
Remarks on the Situation by a Lead
ing New York Authority.

The Exchanges publish the following
in their reports of last Saturday, which
will be of interest to all operators in cot
ton:
"To all interested in the cotton trade
the year 1898 has been very unsatisfac-
tory one, and its passage from the calen-
dar will be source of qualification to
all Looking forward to 1894 we can ex-
pect a revival IN business slow, but sure,
as this depression in all countries appears
to be passing slowly away, and unless ali
estimates of the cotton crop are wrong
the owners of cotton at present prices
will have an opportunity TO dispose of
their holdings at profit.
THE trade are expecting that the move
ment of receipts for the next thirty days
will compare so unfavorably with the
movement of last year, that u further de-
cline is in order through the liquidation
of the long interest now in the market,
but it must not be forgotten that at this
time last year, the movement was consid-
cred as indicating crop of 5000, 900 bales ;
whereas the eventual outturn was $500, 600
bales. A year ago the disposition to hold
cotton was so widespread that only the
financial stringency Of the summer
brought the cotton into sight. Thus we
had very light movement in January.

ever, were mentioned. and the amounts
involved were small. The evidence
