COAL OUTPUT OF THREE STATES.

l
 A statement has been compiled by the United States Geological Survey of the coal output of Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina. 1t shows for Alabama 8 total product of 4,377 ,977 short tons, valued at 8 1882 ,007, against 5, ,136, 1855 tons in 1892, worth s ,096, 792, decrease of 75S, 958 short tons, or nearly 15 per cent, and loss in value of 1,l14, 7s5, or something more than 20 per cent. The average price per ton declined from 99 cents in 1893 to 91 cents in 1894. During 1893 the mines gave employment to Il ,294 men, while in the year just closed 10, 7S9 men were employed, showing that about 500 men were thrown out of employment by the depression in the coal trade in this State alone. It may be added, however, that the mines are now running at their maximum capacity, new mines are being opened and it is hard to get miners.
 Georgia fared somewhat better in a small way, so far as the total tonnage was con- cerned, her product in 1894 being 254, III short tons, against 272, TAO tons in 1883, a decrease of only IS, ,629 short tons, or about per cent. The value, however, shows even sharper decline than that of Ala bama, being 1865, ,972 in 1893 and only S299,- 290 in 1894, the average price per ton at the mines falling from 9S cents to S41s cents, decline of 13h cents ton.
 The total product for North Carolina in 1894 was 13, l5o short tons, worth S2o, 300 at the mines.

The objects are set forth in the call, but the main purpose is to provide for. an exhibit from Alabama at the Atlanta Exposition.

The press of the State is already in Hue, or rapidly getting in line, to raise a fund for this purpose. Here is the medium to render their efforts a practical success. The meeting in April can voice the wishes of the commercial bodies eeni. posing the ass ociation, and the display placed In proper hands for the credit of Alabama. Subscriptions have been started by the AGE- HERALD and News of this city and by the Advertiser in Montgomery, and with little effort on the part of the press the fund can be made fully adequate for a creditable display from every portion of the Slate.
 Now, brethren of the press of Alabama, let's give this movement our hearty encour- agement for the honor of our State. Not to be along with our sister States in this exposition would be real calamity, but we can avert this, and hence the press is confidently appealed to for the fund, and $1 is the limit from any one individual. The fund to be sent to the person whom the Commercial Association shall elect to re- ceive and disburse it.

HE fact that the Pittsburg coal operators are forming combination to keep up the price of coal shows that their sales are be- ing cut into by Southern competition and their profits are decreasing. They are com bining so that they hope to put coal in Southern ports in competition with the new and rapidly developing Southern coal fields. The operators of West Virginia will be asked to join. Owing to the tolls on the Monongahela river and the expense and risk of towage the Pennsylvania operators find it impossible 10 successfully compete with the Southern CTS. For this reason the shipment of coal to New Orleans during the late rise was net as great as usual. A conservative estimate places the average decrease in shipments of coal from Piitsburg South during the last few years at about 10, ,oCo, 900 bushels a year.

MUCH has been said of the lower cost of ccal in the South and the advantage it gives in cotton manufacturing. It appears from the reports made covering the opera tions of textile manufacture during the year 1890 that in cotton goods in the Southern states the cost of coal constituted 45 per cent and the cost of other fuel Al per cent of the total cost of materials, and in the New England States the cost of coal was 8. .o2 ger cent and of other fuel .06 per cent.

THE first blood shed on American soil in defense of American liberty was in North Carolina in 1771. The proud patriots of that State baptized with British blood the new born child of liberty. Many men of North Carolina had in their veins a min- gling of English and Huguenot blood. They had the bulldog tenacity of the English, with the courtesy and suavity of the French. Other prominent North Carolin- ians were bold, brave, hardy Scotch Irish, who came to America to enjoy liberty, and were determined to have it.
