 sri,a coal fields of Alabama are divided into three districts, known by the names rf the rivers which drain them-the War sIor the Coosa and the Cahaba. By far fhe most important of these is the War Eior district, which includes the coke ovens in and around the city of Birm- snrham. As there Is but one coke-pro- ducing plant in each of the other two tIfstrtcts, no separation of the statistics of coke production is made by districts for the State.
 In 1880 there were four establishments, s1s ovens built, 100 building. lG6,2S3 short tons of coal used, 60, 7Sl tons of coke pro- auced, the value of the coke per ton at the oven being 3.0t. The yield of coal in coke was 57 per cent. In 1902 for the thirty-seven establishments, with 7,57l ovens built and 1884 building, there was Azs7 49l tons of coal used and coke pro- duced, valued at $S,30O,SSS. or $3.25 a ton at the oven, with a record of yield of coal in the coke of 60.s per cent.
 The increase in the coke production of the State has been chiefly due to the utilization of slack coal nearly all of which is washed before being charged into the ovens Nearly 60 per cent of the coal used in 1902 was washed slack, and of the run-of- mine coal used nearly S0 per cent was washed.

Law Became Effective at Midnight Last Night. Electric Lights Reminded Suburban itss They Were Part of the Gty-Arrangements For
 Citizens of Annexed
 Territory.

Greater Montgomery is today a fact. The bill which was passed by the Ala bama Legislature last winter extending the corporate limits of Montgomery, be- came law at 12 o'clock last night. The reality of the law was, however, mani tested to suburbanites early in the even- ing when 125 new arc lights illuminated districts that had hitherto been in dark meas.
 October list was fixed as the date for the law to become effective because of the fact that it is on this date that the fiscal and tax years begin.
 Under the terms of the act Highland Park. Cloverdale. West End, Riverside. vesuvius, Newtown and Bellinger's g Heights are within the corporate limits. It Is estimated conservatively that the extension of the city limits increases the population to 45,0o0.
 Provision for suburbanites.
 To provide city accommodations for the citizens of the annexed districts was a problem which the City Council has been grappling several weeks. Provision for schools. water and lights has already been made. The matter of ire and police protection is still under consideration and will be consummated by Mayor-elect Thomas H. Carr and the new City coua- ell which goes into ofiice on October i9. the third Monday in October.
 The city has sold $50,000 bonds to build school houses in the annexed district ana contracts have been awarded for the con- struction of the buildings. Sites havs been purchased and 1t is expected thas the new school houses will be ready for occupancy before the beginning of an- other year.
 Temporary School Quarters. Meanwhile the Board of Education has provided temporary quarters and teach CTS for the annexed district and the schools will open today under the admins tration of the City School Board. It is interesting to know that the ex- pansion Of the city will increase the school census to about s,ooo,, or some- thing over 4000 more than 1t has been.
