LEGATION:
Editor Manufacturers Record:
As a citizen OF West Virginia l am
more than gratifed over its marvel
Gus development. We are easily the
first Of all the States in oil and gas
and lumber, and we are second in coke
and third in coal production. l am
daily receiving inquiries as TO our act
ual status in regard to these great in
dustries. In order to be exact in my
statements on these subjects, | have
conferred with Chief Mine Inspector
j. w. Paul. aud with his assistance |
can speak authoritatiyely upon our
great West Virginia industries.
COAL AND COKE.
The past year marks the State with
having been the most active in tn
production of coal and coke No pre-
vious year in the history OF coal min
ing ia the State has shown greater ac
tiVity than She past. Labor trouble
were practically nil. The number
days worked exceeded any previou
year, aud the production OF coal is /,
| 4U4, 752 tons in excess of the largest
previous production of any one year
The tonnage for 1898 5000, PAS and
for the year ending June 80, 1899, was
II, AIS, 900 long tons. At the present
rate OF progression, coupled with the
explorations now in progress, IL will
be less Than five years until the ton
mage will reach over 20, 600, 600 and IL
| is not beyond u conservative prophcsy
to predict that West Virginia will in
two years be the second coal producing
State OF the Union.
In the matter Of coke manufacture
this state maintains its place as sec
ond only to the State OF Pennsylvania.
During the past three years were man
ufactured 1000, 900 tons OF coke.
Many new coke ovens are under way
of construction and 1t would be ditii-
cult matter TO state what position the
State will occupy as coke producer
| five years hence.

Loose clothes and downy cushions
bring only negative sort of comfort to
the woman who is suffering with some
disease or arrangement of the organs
distinctly feminine. Some clothes and
positions make the pain and discomfort
seem less. Perhaps the nerves are
most effected and this in turn distrubs
the digestion. Nothing will ever com.
pletly relieve but radical cure. The
start of so>called "female complaints"
may be very slight thing indeed. It
may be that in the beginning some
small hygienic measure would stop the
trouble. Certainly at this time, little
bit of the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse, it is
harder to cure, but still 1t can be cured.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
positively cure any trouble of this
character. It may be absolutely relied
upon. 1t affords lasting relief to a
whose natural modesty has
kept her from consulting physician.

We were told in advance that the
lecture by Dr.. Hillman Brough, Phi.
D., OF the Mississippi College faculty,
would be treat, and those who we Mt
out to hear him at the First Baptist
church Tuesday night were not dis
appointed. He is a polished orator
with captivating grace OF voice and
gesture and under the spell of his
elequence the moments swiftly fled.
His subject was "Mississippi-Her Re-
ligious, Educational, Political and
Economic Progress." He spoke Of the
famous men who have graduated from
the colleges Of the state, and among
them named Judge A. H. Whitfield,
Of the supreme bench, and former
Grenadian of whom we are all proud.
