THE SOUTH.
Wonderful Wealth I'm the Great Coal
DeDOsits.

Mr.. j. e. MacGowan. editor OF the Chat.
tanooga Times, gives some information
with regard to the South's great coal
cellar" and the business OF bringing its
contents into service, which is OF gene
raj interest. The coal area OF the United
States. he says, Is approximately N0OOO
square miles. The coal land in the SOUTH
S0,S0 square miles, or 40 per cent. or
the total, or about the combined area or
Georgia and South Carolina.
In 1880 the eleven Southern States pro-
duced 6,529,SO0 net tons Of coal, or about
IA per cent. of the bituminous product or
the country In that year. Sixteen years
later, IN 1896. the same States produced
five times as much or 33.l75,O0o tons,
which was % per cent. Of the country's
bituminous product for that year. There
were employed in and about the southern
coal-mines last year over 1000 persons,
miners, laborers, mechanics, &C., who re-
average price for coal at the mines was
81 cents a ton. and the receipts OF the
operators were about $27,700.000.
The vast field from which this supply
was taken, says Mr.. MACEDONIAN, "has
been no more than hacked at the edges"
Many thousands of miles Of coal land,
carrying from one TO five workable veins,
have not mine on them. Here and there

stances. Not one-tenth of l per cent"

mains TO provide fuel for the South for
"at least 1000 years" with all due al
lowance for the increase OF population
and the consequent increased demands.

Five Thousand Pounds for O Single
Blow.
Qondon Tit-Bits)

In a match between two northern boxers
some years ago the younger pugilist
knocked his opponent out OF time with the
very first blow. and. by a single hit, won
200 guineas. In addition TO this sum he
cleared nearly thousand pounds as the
result OF a betting transaction, and may
thus fairly be said to hold the record for
quick and profitable work In the ring.
Performances OF this nature are very
rare. and II Is certain that lovers OF
pugilism would not like them to become
more common. There would be precious
little fun for the crowds OF spectators
that congregats 10 witness the meetings
