BANNER YEAR IN
 COAL PRODUCTION
OF COAL IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1907 WAS 4es,ooo, GOO TONS, OR es PER CENT OF PRODUCTION.

The year 1907 was the banner year In coal production notwithstanding that the last quarter was seriously affected by the panic and the refusal of miners in some sections to accept script for the pay :. ls Only the inability of the rail- roads to furnish cars prevented even greater yields than those recorded.
 The consumption in the United States was 46S, 900 ,0o0 tons or 9S per cent of the total production.
 There were imported only 2,367,o00 tons.
 The exports of coal were in round num- bers 15,GO0, GOO tons.
 Coal production of the United States in 1907 by states producing 100000 tons and over:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-24

Pennsylvania produced 15O,o00,00o tons of bituminous coal valued at $155,664,000 and 85 000 ,OO0 tons of anthracite valued at S163,- 5s4, 600. Alabama produced 14250,000 tons of bituminous coal valued at SIS, 405, ,000 5 The government reports of the geo. logical survey says:
 "A considerable portion of both the anthracite and bituminous coal is sold at much less than the cost of production. The public press is apt to note critically the wide discrepancy between the prices shown by these averages and those which the public is obliged to pay for it's fuel, forgetting or neglecting the fact that all of the profits on mining operations in the anthracite region have to be made on sizes above pea coal, which represent only a little more than 60 per cent of the total production. All of the buckwheat, rice, barley and other sizes below pea coal shipped from the anthracite region which are used entirely for steam pur- poses are sold at prices considerably be- low the actual cost of production. In the bituminous regions a large portion Of the coal is marketed as screened coal and in many cases the sizes below nut are sold at less than cost"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-24
WITH THE NEW RAILROADS AND MANY LARGER MANUFACTURE PLANTS THE PRODUCTION IS EXPECTED TO BE LARGELY IN CREASED NEXT YEAR.

The state of Alabama has steadily ad- vanced in the production of coal. Although the increase in production for five years 1903 to 1907 is only little more than 2,500O00 tons it is fact that the lack of cars prevented the production of the full est capacity by the mines in 1907. The figures of the amount of coal produced in the present year are not yet in the hands of State Mine Inspector Gray but it is believed whatever the falling off may be, the result will highly creditable considering conditions that have pre- vailed. The production in Alabama will be relatively as large, no doubt, as the output in most of the other staes affect ed by depression in manufacturing cen ters
 During the first quarter of 1907 large number of furnaces went out of blast. For the first nine months of the year so great was the demand for coal that the price reached the highwater mark of $2 per ton f. o. b. at the mines, but so great and rapid was the decline in the last quarter that the average for the year is stated as s129 per ton
 With new railroads coming into the field, new industries planned, established plants in steel making enlarged, furnaces rebuilt and enlarged the outlook for the coal mining industry in Alabama is in-

markets of the south from Memphis to New Orleans. By many the coal mined by the Nauvoo Coal company is con- sidered superior to the best Cahaba coal, as it kindles very easily and makes but little ash.
 In connection with the mines the Nau- 700 Coal company has a eommissary, which is in charge of D. o. McGhee, who is purchasing agent and cashier of the company. The company also owns about 30 houses for their employees. There has been no change in the management since the company was organized The officers are: M. A. McGhee, president; L. Walton, vice president; G. NJ. Bowers. secretary and treasurer The president lives at Nauvoo and has charge of all the nin- ing operations, while the Birmingham office is S3S First National bank build ing, and is in charge of G.

GROVER CLEVELAND
PASSES AWAY.

Princeton, n. j., June 24.-Ex'
President Grover Cleveland died
this morning at his home in this
city. WhiI+ his death this morn
ing came suddenly and quite un-
expected. he has been in poor
health for some time and the
news that he had passed away
did not come as Il surprise to the
intimates of the Cleveland family,
who have been following his con-
dition. During the past three or
four days he has been in a more
weakened condition than at any
time since he was first taken ILL.
The attending physicians say
that the death of Mr.. Cleveland
is due to heart failure with
prombosys and edeme.
Before noon today messages
began pouring into Princeton to
Mrs. Cleveland expressing con-
dolence and sorrow. Among the
first messages to be received was
one from President Roosevelt
and another from Secretary

COURT HOUSE ITEMS.

Sheriff Lacoste has qualified
and entered upon his second
term. Mr.. Saul Broussard re-
mains in the Office as deputy tax
collector and Mr.. Alphonse Peck
as chief deputy.
Judge Pugh came over from
Crowley Wednesday by request
and sentenced Albert P. Liable,
convicted of manslaughter for
killing Gustave Landry. The
sentence was five years in the
penitentiary and 5000 and costs
of the prosecution. Sheriff La.
coste left the same day for Baton
Rouge with Liable and to make
his final settlement for the year
with the State Auditor.
Judge Pugh held a session of
civil court yesterday. The prin-
cipal case considered was that OF
Aurelie Bourque versus Floren-
tin Trahan for $4,000 damages.
The case arose out of the ques.
ton of ownership of a wagon
claimed by both men, and the
damage suit instituted by
Bourque because of an affidavit
made by Trahan. charging him
with larceny. The case was
compromised and settled by q
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff
