VERY FEW DEATHS
 IN ALABAMA MINES
TWENTY-FoUR MINE FATALITIES DURING PAST SIX MONTHS, Ac- coRDING TO REPORT OF THE IN- sPEcToR-22 DURING 1901.

During the first half Of the year 1902 there have been 24 fatal mine accidents. according to the state mine inspector. During March negroes and white men met death in the mines, which was the largest number in any one month. Dur ing the six months there were moro than 20 non-fatal accidents. The list of fatal accidents by months Is as follows:
 Jsnuary-Colore led l; white 1.
 Tebruary-Colored 1; white 1.
 March-Colored 3; white A.
 April-Colored 2; white 0.
 May-Colored 2; white f.
 June-Colored 1; white 1.
 Total-Colored 10; white IA.
 Only 22 fatal accidents are recorded for the whole of 1901, but there was much less coal mined last year than IS being mined during 1902. It Is thought that the records will show Alabama to have less Inine fatalities than any other state in the union during 1902.
