is below the demand As has been stated before, the superintendent has ordered that all cars be diverted for company coal until there is a sufficient supply of them to handle enough fuel to keep all the engines running.
 The Central of Georgia is getting some additional motive power and the congested conditions on that line are improving The engines which were borrowed from the Birmingham division to be used in the congested Macon district. are being returned and in addition some new en- zines are being sent to this division.
 Coal operators and various industrial concerns are suffering seriously. 1nabil- ity to secure cars with which to handle a shipment recently resulted in one firm in Birmingham losing an order for sev- eral thousand barrels of cement, and a number of the coal companies are losing money every day on account of the con ditions. They are able to mine only a small quantity of coal, while their fixed charges continue the same.

Modern Peck's Bad Boy
 Plays Prank On Minister

school At the church the minister re- ferred to the fact that during the week just past. a neghbor of his had lost his horse. intimating that someone had stolen it. According to the story reaching the ears of the police. this statement served as a cue to oscar Bennett. The 10-year- old youth quietly slipped out of church. and when the services were concluded the minister's horse had disappeared and MT. Rocket was unable to locate his charge.
 N. s. Russell communicated these facts to the police and an effort to locate both the boy and the horse was made. In the afternoon at West End the two were found. The horse was quietly feeding on e mess of oats and the boy was reclining on his back in the sunshine. He informed those who found him that he had en- jcyed the lark, and was ready to return home. It is not as yet learned whether MT. Rockett Is dissatisfied with his fos- ter child or whether the Rev. Alexander will bring charges against the youth. It is probable that the boy will be spanked, the plying of the paddle serving as 8 period for a misehievous sentence.

 If, my friends blessings flow to the world from the friendship of nations, how much greater blessings will result from an universal brotherhood of man. In fact, there can be no enduring brother- hood of nations that is not based upon the brotherhood of men. Does not the nation reflect the sentiment of the ind- viduals composing 1t? If the individuals believe in honesty and justice in their dealings with individuals, will not this be reflected fin their nation in it's dealings with other nations? Js 1t reasonable to suppose that nation in it's intercourse with other nations would observe other principles than those believed in by the individuals composing that nation? If the ordinary citizen of a nation does not believe and practice the doctrine love thy neighbor as thy self, can it be expected that nation dominated by such citizens will observe the precept in the affairs of government?
 No, my friends as the individual is. so will the nation be; as the nations are, so will be the world be- So today, let | US rededicate ourselves and our organi- zation to the furtherance of an universal brotherhood of men. to the end that "Tho Good Day Coming predicted by Judge Brewer of the supreme court of the United States in recent address in this city, may be hastened, when tho song of the angels over Bethlehem may be sung by all men: Peace on earth, good will to man a realization of Ten nysons dream:
 "When war drums throb no longer, and
 battle flags are furled,
 In the parliament of man, in the federal
 ton of the world"

Personal Friendship

For what be the use of the rope if it
 be not flung
 Until the swimmers grasp to the rock is
 chung?
 What need in the squirting paean roll When the runner is safe under the goal? What help in the comrades bugle blast When the peril of the Alpine heights is
 past?
 What worth in eulogy's bandest breath When whispered in the ears that are
 hlushed in death?"
 On an occasion in history when two of the great nations of the world through their representatives, were felic- itating themselves on their friendship, one of the orators spoke of the bless ings to mankind resulting from the friend ship of nations. and as being more endur- ing than the friendship of individuals, which, he claimed. partook of the frail nature of human life itself, and might be summed up as follows: A little lov- ing. a great deal of sorrowing. a few bright hopes, many bitter disapopint- ments some gorgeous Thursdays, when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, and the heart Is gladdened almost to madness: many dismal Fridays, when the smoke or torment beclouds the mind and finally the human heart becomes a charnel house of dead affections, em- balmed in sad but sacred memories; and then the cord is loosed. the golden bowl is broken-the individual life, cloud, q cloud, vapor, passes away. Such my friends, may be the experience Of the life of cold, ambitious man, who has trodden over his felowmen to great heights But such is not the experience of the man who is member of the great brotherhood of men. and in touch with the great purposes of life and of creation and being. To him all the beau ties of the loves and friendships of this world are fused into a rainbow of hope

An interesting stormy smacking Of that period in which Peck's bad boy dominated over an entire community, came 10 the ears of the police yesterday a story in which another bright but naughty youth played the leading role
 The hero of the story is oscar Bennett, a precocious youngster for whom Judge Feagin found a home last week. The vic tim of the boys mood was the Rev. J. F Alexander, who is pastor of the Pres byterian church located at Enon. The above e-mentioned divine was exceedingly troubled yesterday, and at police head quarters told an amusing story. The trouble was dissipated in the afternoon, when young Bennett was located and the minister's horse recovered.
 It is remembNNd that when Judge Feagin advertised in the papers that he desired to find home for a bright young ster of 10, a MT. Rocket, living near Vanderbilt, agreed to take him.
 Everything went well until yesterday. The day being Sunday, the foster parent of the boy got the lad ready for Sunday

 The Skagway Daily Alaskan, of June 13, says: The election conference com pleted it's labors yesterday evening. The plans heretofore prepared by Judge Gunnison, District Attorney Boyce and Clerk Page of the district court, were approved by the court commissioners and the representatives of the munici- palities who were present. The plans include forms for everything from the ordinances of the cities and the orders of the commissioners appointing the election officers to the final returns to the canvassing board. There were P forms all told. The purpose for these was explained by Judge Gunnison. The Judge recommended that the towns in the division, aside from Wrangell, be divided into two or more voting pre- cincts as the law requires that the off, cers of the election board shall take down so many details concerning each voter that voting will necessarily be slow. The conference passed resolu- tion requesting that candidates. for del egate to congress should provide tick cts of uniform character and white paper, of good grade, six inches by four in size. Resolutions were passed thanking Judge Gunnison, District At torney Boyce and Clerk Page for the painstaking work they had bestowed upon the preparations for the election.

ALASKAN GOLD OUTPUT FOR 1906.


 As the first half of the calendar year draws to close, those who are in po- sition to make reliable estimates are forecasting the probable gold output of various sections of the world. The gold production of the world is of such in- cr.asing economic importance that the closest attention is being paid to 1t by financiers and economists, with the re- suit that it is reasonably possible to predict the annual output of country with accuracy.
 It is thought that the Alaskan output for the current year will reach 8 total valuation of s24, ,oO0,Ooo or the equiva- lent of the total for 1905 of Alaska and Yukon combined. The latter territory it is estimated, will yield about Ss,00o,- 900 this year, which will represent the increase for both districts. Curiously enough, this figure represents the in- crease of Alaska's 1905 production over 1904, and was derived almost entirely from the then newly discovered Tan ana goldfelds. The Yukon production does not vary much from year to year, the increase being chiefly from Alaska proper. Reports from the Nome dis trict by one familiar with the situation there are to the effect that the gold out put for this year should show large increase, almost double, over that of 1905. The Tanana region will undoubt- edly uphold it's excellent record.-Min- ing Reporter.

ma oil fields averaged 1876 barrels,
