THE WORLDS
PRODUCTION
United States Furnished One-Third
of Coal Production of the En-
tire World.

In report recently published
by the United States Geological
Survey-an advance chapter from
"AIineral Resources of the United
States, Calendar Year HOPPE.
/ w. Parker, the coal expert and
chief statistician of the Survey,
estimates the worlds production
of coal for 1907 at ,209, ISL, ,IO9
short tons, of which the United
States furnished 39.7 per cent.
The following table from Mr..
Parker's report, showing the pro-
duction of the principal coal-pro-
ducing countries for the year
nearest the one under review for
which figures could be obtained,
gives the details of his estimate.
In 1907 the United States pro-
duced go pr cent more coal than
Great Britain and ovor 400 per
cent more than Germany. Ex-
elusive of Great Britain, the
United States produced in 1907
more coal than All the other 'coun-
tries of the world combined.
More than 9S per cent of the total
worlds production of coal is from
countries north Of the Equator,
the countries south Of the line pro-
ducing less than 20,O0O,O tons
annually.
MI Parker also presents a table
showing the growth Of the coal
mining industry in the United
states since 1858 in comparison
with that of other countries of the
world, from which it appears that
during the period of forty years
the percentage of the worlds total
produced by the United States has
increased from I4.32 to 3O.73, and
hat since 1899 this country has
held first place among the coal
produ GERS. 1t now stands far in
| the lead of all others, having so
lar outdistanccu Great Britain
that that country can no longer be
considered a rival, although it is
only nine years since it was sup
/ planted by the United States as
the greatest coal-producing country
of the world.

The last games of the baseball season
were played here this week and proved
about the most interesting of the year,
the teams being SO evenly matched.
The Starkville team, composed of the
best players in the state and as fine a
lot OF fellows as ever came down the
pike, !" were pitted against our own re-
doubtable 'Cornos" and honors were
even. Three games were played, one
on Monday, one on Tuesday and one
on Wednesday. Mondays game, UNI
pired by r. II. Cole, was captured by
our home boys by score of 6 to s.
In Tuesdays game honors were even,
the record being 3 to 8 at the close of
the ninth inning, and the game called
off on account of darkness. Bessie
Newsom umpired this game to the EN-.
lnent satisfaction of all interested
parties and the public generally. On
Wednesday afternoon the visitors treat.
ed the Cornos to a nice, we'll cooked
