ALABAMA'S COAL OUTPUT
Interesting Data in Mine lnspec-
 tor HiIIhouse's Report.
JEFFERSON HAS A BIG LEAD
In the Production of Both Coal and Coke Over the Other Counties of the
 State.

Mir J. D. Hillhouse, state mine inspec- tor, has been very busy the past few days footing up the reports from the diff ferent coal mines. The law requires the different mines to send their reports to the inspector and he reports to the gov ernor
 The following are the most important items from the report of Mir. Hillhouse:
 There are In Jefferson county 1906 coal miners. This includes 15OO convicts. During the past twelve months there were mined in Jefferson county 3,7i0,331 tons of coal, and the coke output was 1,301 SS1 tons of 2000 pounds.
 Walker county-Miners, 2150 coal, 935- 79l tons; coke 3290 tons.
 Bibb county-Miners. 1885; coal, 6i3- 762 tons; coke, 38, ,S35 tons
 Tuskaloosa county-Miners, 677 coal, 20S,117 tons; coke, $40 tons.
 Blount county-Miners 95; coal, 62,- 400 tons.
 Shelby county-Miners, 233; coal 52,- 754 tons.
 St. Clalr-Miners, 120; coal, 30, S06 tons
 Winston county-Miners, 20; coal, 4500 tons.
 There are a number of mines in the coal district that employ less that twen- ty men. and make no report. MT. Hill house estimates that these small mines turn out 25.000 tons per annum.
 These figures show a total of 92S6 miners, and a production of 5,64S.461 tons of coal

the industrial school recently located here 25,OOO acres Of public land. Today we have the gratifying news by wire from MT. Reynolds that the house com mittee had made "a hanifhous- report in favor of the bill, and thatit would in all
 probability pass. When these gentle men first arrived,, fh Washington they found Mir Robbins epEaged in the fight to hold his seat and thes1and bill pigeon holed and practically dead With their energy, determinatfofi and tact that so characterize them they soon had an interest aroused in its passage with the above result. Generar Morgan imme- diately introducede the same bill in the senate, and hesis sanguine- of its success.
 MT. Reynolds also wires that they had had several interviews with President Baldwin of the Southern railway. and they had decided to give free transporta- ton for all material used in~ the con- struction of the industrial school build ings This will be a considerable item and shows a noble spirit in the manage ment of this great railway system.

UNION SPRINGS.
The Committee Met-The County of Bullock
 for the Jefferson County Man.

The Committee Met-The County of Bullock
 for the Jefferson County Man.
 Union Springs, Feb 15.-(Special) l)-The county executive committee met here yesterday. To say that the Johnston men were in the ma jority does not half express it. The audience in attendance at the meeting was for Johnston. A motion was made by a Clarke man for a joint debate, but was promptly voted down by the Johnston men, stating for their reason that we wanted harmony in old Bullock this year and speech mak- ing would do no good along that line.
 The Clarke men then asked permission of the committee to invite MT. Clarke to address the citizens of the county at Union Springs. The Johnston men, be- lieving that this would do their cause good. consented.
 With the exception of a few men that are followers of the Advertiser, right or wrong. there will be but little opposition to Johnston in this county. In fact. it has been said by good and true men that were ardent supporters of Governor Oates in 1894 that Johnston should have the nomination without opposition.
 Yesterday just before adjournment of the grand jury a vote was taken by It's members for Clarke and Johnston. The ballot stood: Johnston 13, Clarke G.
 A large crowd has been in attendance upon the cidcuit court here this week and your correspondent states from the opinion of the people that every beat in Bullock county, except Midway, will go for Johnston.

PRATTVILLE.
A Pretty Plain Way of Showing Up the Ad-

Prattvlle, Feb. 15.--(Special.) l.)-There appeared a special from Prattville in the Advertiser of the 18th which compliments our manufactories, railroad, facilities and general industries, but the author cannot be found here after dilligent inquiry, and there is suspicion that 1t came from member of the Advertisers staff, who paid us pleasant visit the day previous. aid, as we believe. has misjudged the po- litical situation in Autauga.
 Rightly, weothlpk, he says our people are well informed on the current Issues of the day and are for sound money. We, whether for or against silver, are emphat- ically democrats. owing our, allegiance to the party alone, and to no particular fac- tion within the party. We would be glad for the author of the Advertiser special to give the source of his information when he states that Captain Johnston has many personal admirers here who have about concluded they cannot vote for him. He. this same author, quotes one of our leading business men as saying that he believed 1.-the state would default her interest on next pay day If Captain Johnston is nominated, for governor of Alabama" We cannot believe any bus mess man. of Prattville could have made the statement in seriousness. Every one who knows Captain Johnston at all knows him to hes good business man and to possess high sense of honor in finan- c.al affairs. One might have possibly

MIR. T. s. SMITH
Formally Makes Announcement of His Candi-
 dacy for Sheriff.

MT. T. s. Smith announces his candi- dacy for sheriff today subject, of course, to action of the democratic primary elec- tion. MT. Smith was born and reared in Jefferson county and has ever borne q good reputation for sobriety, honesty and fair dealing. He is closely connected by birth and marriage with Two of the most influential and prominent families In the county, and besides this has host of warm friends and supporters in both city and country. MT. Smith was chief depu- ty sheriff under his brother, Sheriff Joe s Smith, the immediate predecessor of Dr George M. Morrow. and during his tern went through fiery ordeal at all times. standing steadfast In defense of the law and filling his position with honor and credit to himself. As one of the chief actors in the celebrated Hawes' riot, Mr Smith won the plaudits of the public at home and abroad.
 He Is thoroughly familiar with detail work in the office of sheriff and if elected will fill the high position with great credit to himself and the people whose support he Is seeking.

Hon. s. D. Logan of Bibb.

vertiser correspondent in having found so few Clarke supporters here and, pitying his forlorn hope, threw that breezy state ment out as bait of encouragement, and my, how that poor fellow bit al it.
 He is then prepared to see glorious vls- ions of Mw Clarke's strength in Autauga county and says he does not "believe Captain Johnston will have any support CTS here at all before the day of the pri- maries rolls around.'' This we deny em- phatically, and can state with truth and fairness that Prattville beat Is for Joe Johnston for the nomination for govern or. And we feel safe in predicting that Autauga's four votes in the state conven- tiOn will be recorded for him.

 Said to Re Working Scheme.
 gentleman who is interested in mat ters relating to cotton said here today: 'In view of the probability of decreas- ed acreage of cotton, the active competi- fion among compressers and the desire of some of the older ones to shut off the several improved compressing methods, the compress owners in many localities are endeavoring to, by contract purchase, etc., secure control of the output of the principal ginners for the 1896 crop of cot ton. The deal Is being worked very quiet 1y, but 1t is apparent to me that some progress is being made by the sehem- ers."
