DONATION.
nlent.

On the evening of Feb. %, 1897,
the dear good people of Paxtonville
gave us IA fine donation. They came
with wagons to the parsonage and
began to carry in four, meat, apples,
potatoes, groceries and horse feed to
the amount of some S1S., besides
some cash. After spending a few
hours pleasantly together all de-
parted to their homes. May the
good Lord richly bless the kind
doners and may the good work 60
on all over the charge. Many thanks,
j. H. HERTZ.

sion and now for Grace church. the
state has lost many thousands of
dollars as the result Of an unfair
system Of competitive bidding. In
other words, that the cost to the
state has been two, three, four, and
as high as eight times in some in
stances as much as it should have
been, and that not all of this money
went to the persons furnishing the
materials and labor" lat this point
the fifth accusation declares that a
certain public official has guilty
knowledge of this excessive cost."l
sc. That the act of 1895 by which
the governor. auditor general, and
state treasurer constitute the board
of commissioners of public grounds
and buildings, having control of re-
pairs, alterations and improvements,
and expenses incurred, including
furnishing and refurnishing, is cor.
ruptiug in it's tendencies, pernicious
in its results, and has already cost
the state at least one hundred thou
sand dollars more than the same i'm
provements, etc, etc, should have
cost under some other system of
management.
~. That the remonstrances which,
two years ago, poured into the gov
errors hands from the patriotic or
ders of the state, against the appoint
ment of the present incumbent of
the office created by the above act
of superintendent of public grounds
and buildings were well founded as
the sequel proves.
SO. That the burning of the capt.
tol by which the state lost over one
million dollars worth of valuable
property, if at all accidental was
also in a sense incidental. That the
possibilities and even probabilities
of a fire had been for some time dis
cussed by employees of the state, and
that it was a logical sequence of hav-
ing exhausted excuses for expend-
ing public money. And further that
there is convincing evidence of Grim
inal carelessuess and neglect on the
part of the state house custodians,
and, presumptive evidence of crimi-
nal intent.
That valuable furniture and fur
nishiugs bought for the state and
are now in use in private homes with
out any compensation for the same
having come to the state.
"The citizen who proposes to fur
nish the testimony named, on the
conditions ma med, will suffer the

OUR GREAT COAL FIELDS.

There are two coal fields in Virginia,
the Richmond basin, Of triassic age, and
the Pocahontas Fat Top field, part of the
great Appalachian field. The first
named is OF small extent, including only
$50 square miles, while the latter COM
priscs 1000 square miles. The coal fields
of the Richmond basin range from Il
bright black bituminous to II scmi-an-
thracite ana are quite popular for do
nestle uses. The Pocahontas field is I'M
derlaid by the lower productive coal
measures and extends over parts of Taze.

The first coal mined Systematically in
the United States came from the Rich.
mond coal basin about 100 years ago.
The production reached the respectable
total of 1924 long tons AS early as 1922
while in 1898 it had risen to ll2, jS1 long
tons. This seems to have been the max
imum and but little attention has been
paid to this field since until within the
past three or foui years. Now quite eX-
tensve operations are being carried on in
ilenrico and Chesterfield counties. The
POcahontas field first came into notice in
1881, but it was not until 1888 that ship
ments were commenced. Since that year
developments have been pushed until %

y larger area of the great Appalachian
coal field is contained in West Virginia
than in any other State The area UNDER
laid by coal is about two thirds of the
total area of the State. Only six out of
iifty-four counties in the State may be
considered a. lacking in workable coal
beds. The coal area of West Virginia is
more than so per cent. of the total btu
minous areas of Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA
combined and 60 per cent. more than
Pennsylvania alone. a large percentage
of the output credited To West Virginia
comes from the mines of the pocnhontas
district

A STRONG COMBINATION.
