1901, it does not appear as if the threatened invasion of the markets of Alabama by crude petroleum has been realized, at least to any detriment of the coal industry of Alabama. The continued and increasing activity in the iron and steel industries created a demand for any coal that has been displaced by the use of oil, and the action of the railroads in cutting freight of New Orleans and other gulf ports enabled the coal producers to meet this new competition in this market.
 The total production in Virginia last year was 2,725,S23 tons, mainly the output of Wise and Tazewell counties. the former showing an increase of over 40 per cent excess as compared with 1900. It is in this county that the great development in the interest of the Seaboard railroad is to take place, according to the last reports. a company having been organized to work the coal lands which have been acquired. The coal lands in Wise county which jare included in the transaction consist of about 118.0OO acres, and it is said the deposits of both ore and coal are very extensive and of good quality.

haul out the products. Some Nash vile men are also interested in this project.
 In the Birmingham district there is the greatest activity, the men all being steadily employed and the output increasing. The average price paid miners in the Birmingham district dur ing the last year has been in the neighborhood of 55 cents ton. The mine which produced the greatest number of tons of coal in the Birming- ham district last year was that of the Bessemer Land and Improvement com pany, located at Belle Ellen, which employs 763 men, and produced 51S,- 393 tons of coal from two slopes. The The company which mines the great est number of tons of coals is, of course. the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company, which operates 29 coal mines and produced within the past twelve months 4,066,074 tons of coal. Its Pratt City mines alone pro- duced in the neighborhood of 2,000, ,000 tons.
 Extensions and new openings make the capacity of the mines in the south ern railway system greater by over 800 tons daily than it was a year ago.

 Quick. man. the guardi quick for your lifel'
 And what think you, man. care for life?" said I. as saw dark figures nov ing down the lane.
 Then I gave the boat all the strength I had, ana sent her far out Into the stream calling:
 Remember, Curtis, dead or alivei dead or alivel he goes to Washington. Re- member. manl remember as you love God, rememberr'
 And I was down in the shoal water crawling along the shore with nothing but my nose above the surface.
 After a few yards looked out and saw the boat far of toward Paulus' Hook and heard the crack. of dozen rifles near by fired by men who stood knee deep in the water. So I erawled on per haps a hundred yards, and then, grow ing faint. and not caring much what might come of it, I crawled out on the shore and lay down in the mud and tried to breathe again. But the horror of something, I know not what, was with me and shrivelled myself up setting my head close to my knees and holding my ankles as I lay there oh one side. And shut my eyes for fear I should see some thing and opened them again for fear that the unknown thing should clutch me. TT was a terror of something hor- rid, unnamable, unseeable, that gripped me, and I cried out with 1t.
 TT was but moment when I was seiz- ed again with terror at the sound of my own voice, and a shiver ran through my bones. 1 lay still. looking about so far as I could without moving. for it seem- ed as if l must not move or stretch out a hand or laot, lest 1 touched that name less something. So I lay when all over my body broke out sweat that burned me. I know not how long it lasted. Time was nothing then. but there in the darkness I thought long and decided to move but the least atom. It took more courage than I had ever used before to move my arm and turn over. and then, when I did attempt to do so I could not. my side that drew another cry of pain and terror, until I discovered it was the ugly wound his sword had made.
 So I lay still-hours, 1t seemed-and then. reason coming to me. l got up to walk away in my drenched clothes. and staggered up through a garden to the street holding by fence or tree, leaning for support against the side of a house. and so into the street, just as a sign of the first light began to appear.
 The gate was open and I got into the street and fell again into a heap; and then, gripping the fence, lifted myself up and stood there as a shout came to me. it seemed from a hundred people. who rushed at me and pulled my legs from under me and picked me up. And I cared not whit what they did nor heard a word they said, for there was not enough in life for me to trouble at 1t.

souTH's GOOD TIMES.
Various Plans for Developing It's Nat
 ural Resources.

F. E. saward in New York Commercial
 Advertiser.
 One hears a great deal these days of industrial development in the south, and one of the latest items of interest is the statement from John Skelton Williams, president of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, that he has awarded contracts for 10000 tons of steel rails, in addition to the 0,000 tons which are now being delivered. He also says that bids are being asked for about s10000,O ,O0O of equipments for the line to Birmingham. Engines, coal cars, box cars and other rolling stock are included in this lot.
 Then there is the statement that English capitalists are negotiating for all the coal, timber and mineral lands in Cumberland, White, Sequatchee and Van Buren counties, Tennessee. An engineer is already in the field mak- ing maps and surveys of large body of coal lands in the latter county. A short line of railroad is to be built to

The University of Chicago.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The University of Chicago Is an insti- tuition which, in point of material re- sources, stands almost In class by itself. At its head is probably the keenest and most versatile educational promoter-in the good sense of the term-that the world dhdas today. No labor or expense has been spared to fill the university chairs with learned men.
 With such combination of mental and material equipment, the University of Chicago ought to take its place at or near the head of the higher educational institutions of this country. Of course, what may be called the tradition of schol- arship and of vital culture can not be purchased But 1t can be created by men who know how and are of the right kind And It's growth is not necessarily slow
 Situated in the heart of the United States and in the most of American cities with such mental and material resources. the University of Chicago should be able already to exemplify to the world all that Is best in Amrican scholarly life.
 Yet, in some strange and unexplained way, there has been created at the Uni versity of Chicago an atmosphere which causes many of those who breathe it to act as if they had "eaten of the insane root that takes the reason prisoner" Consequently, we have seen Oscar Lowell Triggs pronouncing hymns, consecrated by ages of devout use, mere doggerel, and expounding the noble thesis that John D. Rockefeller Is a greater man than William Shakespeare.
 We have also seen Hermann von Hoist I -7 nations enemies. malignlng the nation, and rebuking ex-cathedra the nations fundamental instincts as inspired of the devil
 Again, we have seen E.. Benjamin An drews advocating the establishment of a Japanese Yoshlwara on an island in Lake Michigan, and finally we have seen G. Stanley Hall, reputed to be one of the soberest educators of the East come to the Midway institution to utter hystercal praise over the coarse confessions of a senseless girl.
 These are but a few specimens of the strange and deplorable products of the University of Chicago. They might be multiplied indefinitely. And, as a result, we see an institution which should be a beacon of wisdom gain reputation largely for the idiosyncrasies of those within it's gates.
 Cannot the real friends of the Univer- sity do something to better these condi- tions? Can they not prevent the educat- ors who speak publicly on the University platforms from uttering instruction in Chicago which they would be ashamed to utter elsewhere.

The death from heart disease few
days ago of Mrs Emaline Owens, a
white woman near Columbia, S. c.,
ended the story of a somewhat pecul-
lar romance in real life. Mrs. Owens
many years ago, then belle in her
neighborhood, ran away with and mar
ried Ed Owens, who was formerly her
fathers slave. They returned to the
scene of her childhood after the war,
and in defiance of thesentiment Of the
neighborhood, they lived together and
raised family of children. Owens
was killed by lightning while standing
under a, tree on his plantation little
over year ago. They leave consid-
cradle property, which, the children
will inherit This is another instance

The federal grand jury, while in ses-
sion in Louisville, KY, last week, did
something which seems to indicate
that this government can do some
thing toward preventing the disfran-
chisement of Afro-Americans. 1t re-
turned indictments against ten white
citizens of Bowling Green, KY, who
conspired to prevent the registration
of Afro-American voters in precinct
in that city. Among those indicted is
Judge Henry B. Hines, state inspector
and examiner, and one of the most
prominent Democrats in Kentucky.
One noticeable fact might also be
noted in this connection, and that is
that it is always Democrats who de-
sire and attempt to disfranchise the
Afro.American. Is it any wonder, then,
that Afro-Americans are generally Re-
publicans?

Miss Portia Washington, daughter of
DR.. Booker T.. washington, denies the
reports which have been published to
the effect that she was forced to leave
Wellesley College on account of color
prejudice. She says she did not have
to take examinations in music, and con-
sequently that was not cause of her
leaving, and she most emphatically de-
MES that any hint as to her race being
in any way Objectionable had ever
been given there.
She left of her own volition, and the
advice of her father, she said, prin-
cipally because her health would not
permit her to take a college course
there, and it was the desire of her
father that she take some academic
instruction with her music which she
was pursuing alone at Wellesley.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1902.

The non-forgetting and unforgiving
spirit which seems to be characteristic
OF the Southern whites, it seems, is
again to be put in evidence on the oc-
casion of the contemplated visit. Of
President Roosevelt to Memphis, Tenn.
on October Goth, when he goes to that
God-forsaken city to participate in the
welcome Of General Luke E. Wright.
The Evening Scimitar, detestible
local daily, has editorially called upon
its readers to refrain from attending
the banquet which will be given upon
that occasion, because, forsooth, the
President, who will be present, of
course, once invited DR.. Booker T.
: Washington to dine with him. And it
is stated that number Of prominent
ex-rebels have announced that they

on, and that is that the pusillanimous
editor Of the scimetar will never get

that was extended to Booker wash
