Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Two men, strangers to eacA other,
met one afternoon last week in a Dear
born street cigar store where both had
gone to purchase stogies, those long, ill
shaped looking cheroots of robust smell.
Both being old customers of the place,
the proprietor knew what they wanted
without being told, and he laid out
their favorite brands on the rubber mat
that lay on the showcase.
The men looked at each other In as
tonishment. Then they laughed, as they
extended hands.
Where are you from-Pittsburg or
wheeling" asked one Of the other.
"Pittsburg," was the reply. Are you
from there, too?"
mo, I'm from Wheeling" the other
answered, but I've been in Pittsburg
more times than I've got hairs in nv
head. | see you are an old customer
here, like myself. Funny haven't run

they shook hands again. I'm in the
tea and coffee business just across the
street, and when you're down this way

After they had gone the cigar man
said TO reporter for the Inter-Ocean:
did you notice how those men made
each others acquaintance? That same
thing has happened here many a time.
Two men will come in who, perhaps.
have never seen each other before, and
by each calling for stogies they in
stantly become acquainted The stogy
is consumed more in Pittsburg and
Wheeling than any other cities in the
world. l never saw a man from either
of those places who did not smoke
stogies in preference to the finest per-
fecto made. The Pittsburg millionaire
smokes his stogy, and would not trade
it for the finest Key West cigar. This
is also true OF the wealthy Wheeling
man. Every user Of tobacco who has
ever lived in Pittsburg or Wheeling gets

STILL FIRING At THE SOUTH.

STILL FIRING At THE SOUTH.
Every time there is an expression OF
good will between the North and South
it causes certain Republican organs
twinge OF dismay What is subject for
rejoicing among honest men and patrl-
OTIS is with secret bitterness resented
by these organs which see their polit-
ical stock -dn-trade vanishing.
These ghouls who have made their
living during the past generation by
raking over the dry bones in the graves
of the past and tanning the last spark
of sectional animosity, have contracted
a habit which seems to render it i'm
possible for them to deal honestly with
the South or to refrain from misrepre-
senting every act of the Southern peo-
pie, misconstruing even their express
sions of good will.
The other day lying correspondent
of one of these organs misquoted Gov
ernor Gambler, of Georgia, as referring
to the Northern people as damned
Yankees" Although Governor Gambler
at once publicly and emphatically de-
MED using such expression or words
that could be so construed, we find the
sntelligencer keeping alive the false
hood, and in connection with the Presi-
dents tour through the South, sheer
ing:
But obstinate Governor Chandler, of
Georgia, will, no doubt, discover in this
outing some d Yankee trick
And again we find in the same organ
this gratuitous slur:
VNo one begrudges President Mckinley a
vacation trip he has so well earned ex-
cept those small minds in the South that
have not yet been reconstructed.
This deliberate Misrepresentation is
amply refuted by the dispatches from
that section, the organs own headlines
over them reading: CHEERS AND
ovATIoNs IN THE SUNNY SOUTH
Localities Vie With Each other in We'll
coming the Presidential Train and It's
Distinguished Passengers During Yes

Such things as facts, however, make
no difference to the old South hating

THE COKE INDUSTRY.
Much Valuable and Interesting information in Recently
Issued Census Bulletin.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-The
coke industry of the United States,
which has been a development of the
last twenty years, forms the subject
OF a special bulletin just issued by the
Census Bureau. 1t was prepared by
Edward w. Parker, of the Geological
Survey, and containes much that is of
interest to West Virginia, as the Noun
tain State now ranIs second as coke
producer.
There were 20 States in which coke
was produced in 1899, as against IS
States in 1889, and In 1880. At each
census Pennsylvania has stood at the
head of the coke-producing States, more
than two-thirds Of the total coke pro-
duct of the United States being made
in that State. But the proportion of
her product to the total has decreased
from S4.2 per cent. in 1880 to 1871 per
cent. in 1889, and GA per cent. in
1899. West Virginia, which was third
in rank at the two preceding censuses,
became second in Importance in 1899;
and Alabama, which was sixth in 1880
and second in 1889, now stands third.
Ohio. which was second in 1880, had
fallen to the eighth place in 1889, and
held the same relative position in 1899.
Virginia, which reported no coke pro-
duct in $780, was sixth in 1889, and
fourth in 1899 Colorado, the only i'm
portant coke-producing State west of
the Mississippi river, now ranks fifth
among the total number; and Tennes-
see, which stood fourth in 1880 and
1889, was sixth in 1899. Massachusetts,
which had no coke product IN 1880 or
1889, was seventh in Importance in
1889. This was due to the establish
ment of 400 Otto-Hoffman ovens at Ev-
erett. near Boston The coal from
which this coke is made is brought
from the Nova Scotia mines, and gas
for domestic consumption is made the
primary product. The coke product,
however, while largely used as loco
motive fuel, is metallurgical coke,and
is, therefore, included in the statistics
of the present investigation.
OF the 6 leading coke producing
States, five draw their coal supply
from the coal fields of the Appalachian
system. These 5 States in the order of
their Observation-Disclosures, West
Virginia, Alabama, Virginia and Ten
nessee-contributed9 1872 per cent of the
entire product of the United States in
1899. The proportion of the product
of the United States coming from this
field 1925 per cent in 1880; and 93.2
per cent. in 1S99) has remained almost
the same for twenty years; the relative
decrease in Pennsylvania since 1880
and in Tennessee snice 1899 being
about balanced by the increase in Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Alabama.
West Virginia is divided into five
coking districts, known respectively as
the Kanawha, the New River, the Flat
Top, the Upper Monongahela and the
Upper Potomac. The first two are
compact and continuous. They include
the ovens along the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad from Quinnimont to the
western limit of the coal fields. The
Flat Top region includes in the ovens
in what is known as the Pocahontas
district, including the counties of Nc

One STATISTICAL item or interest is JndC
but seven children under the age of Is
were found employed in West Virginia
coke ovens.
The modern tendency of industry to
concentrate in a comparatively small
number of establishments, says the
bulletin, is strikingly exemplified in the
coke industry, where there is an in
crease of only %, or 1916 per cent, in
the number of establishments reported,
as compared with 1889, while the in
crease in the number of tons of coke
produced is 96.2 per cent, and in the
value of all products, 1857 per cert.
hus, the average product per establish
ment has risen from 45,9o9 short tons
in 1899 to 81, 497 short tons in 1899, and
the average value of all products per
establishment from $75.6S0 in 1889 to
$147,657, in 1899 There has been a
still greater increase in the amount of
capital invested, and nearly equal in
crease in the number of wage-earners
and in the amount paid in wages.
The bulletin shows capital of $780,,
502,679 invested in the manufacture of
coke, which represents the value of
lands, buildings, ovens, machinery tools,
implements, and the live capital re-
quired to carry on the business, but
does not include the capital stock of
any of the corporations. The value of
the products from the use of this cap
ital was s35 1856, 445, to produce which
involved an outlay of $70S5,736 for
wages; s19,665532 for raw materials,
consisting almost wholly of coal; and
$2,184,96S for miscellaneous expenses.
The amount of coal used in 1899 was
30,157,S29 tons, yielding 19,640,79S tons
of coke-indicating a loss in weight by
the coking process of 34.9 per cent.
The value of the coal used was $1S,355
252, whereas the value of the coke pro-
duced was S34, $685. AIS, an increase of
1877 per cent. In 1889 the loss in weight
by cooking was 1866 per cent, and the
increase in value was 4S.4 per cent. The
amount of coal necessary to make
ton of coke was less in 1889 than in 1880
and was reduced in 1899, as compared
with 1889, indicating greater eff
cheney in the coking operations.
There were in 1899 1921 ovens in
West Virginia, against 3,140 ten years
before, of which practically all were
of the beehive variety. Pennsylvania
has 26,920 ovens. and Alabama 5,206.
