It is always the open season for
killing time with some people.

It is therefore rather startling to
be compelled to face the fact that coal
belongs to the limited and rapidly dis
appearing reserved stores of nature.
In using coal the human race is in
trenching upon its capital, and reck-
lessly Fastening an ultimate but inevi-
table catastrophe. 1t is estimated by
the highest authorities that the total
available coal treasures of North
America cover 100000 square miles,
with an average thickness Of six feet
Of workable seams, which would yield
1890 tons to the acre. The total
amount of coal, therefore, that is pos
sibly within our reach In America
could not exceed 100000, 100000 tons.
But in the year 1900 alone we were
mining but little short of 100000, 900
tons, while the expansion Of popula-
ton and increase of business is de-
manding an increase at such a rate
that two or three times that amount
will soon be necessary to meet
the annual demand. At the pres
ent rate of increase in the use of
coal, therefore, the entire amount &C
cessible in North America would be
consumed in less than $50 years.
II we look to the rest of the world
the prospect is not more encouraging.
The coal fields of Europe are mostly
confined to small areas in England
and the northwestern part Of the con-
tinent. Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia
Scandinavia, and the larger part Of
the German Empire are dependent on
England for their coal. At the pres
ent rate OF increased production these
fields will be nearly exhausted In 80
years. The remaining great deposits
OF coal are mostly found in China,
where they equal, II they do not ex-
coed, those in the United States. 1t
may therefore be fortunate for the
world that China is so slow in her de-
velopment that her reserved sources
of fuel shall yet be available when
that in the countries more advanced
In civilization shall fail.

 Chrantmmu

one thousand working women and children will have . glorious time of 1t at the Auditorium on Tuesday night December 2S. if the plans Of Captain odom of the Salvation Army are sue cessful, and he has every confidence that they will. l. To make this night an occasion or ioy for those who milIt have to oth- erwise pass through tie Christmas hol- idays without an hour of pleasure, or relief from the drudgery of everyday life, the Captain is counting largely on the xenerosity of the shoppers ana others. who hurry hithep and thither during this busy season. and to aid them in remembering these poor peo- pie.l he has adopted a novel plan.
 On almost every corner Tn the pusi- ness district there Is to be found an exact representation of chimney, iiah,ning rod and all. According te tradition, all good Christmas cheer Is brought by Kris Kringle down the chimney and the dimes and dollar, that are dropped into these miniature chimneys will bring cheer to hundreds who would otherwise have to go witn- out
 In other words Captain odom Is giv' ing to everybody chance to be a krh Kringie Beside each chimney there IS to be found one of the Salvation Army workers, who rings a bell to attraci attention to them. The attendant VIII also see to it that the money droppet down the chimney fs well takeh ealt of.
 There was a goodly collection taken In on Wednesday. but not tenth of the money necessary fo make the even ing for the working women and ehii- dren a complete success.

News of the murder of William Jack son, a negro employed on the pianta- tion of Wiley Hili on the Woodiey road, fifteen miles southeast of Mont- gomery, Wednesday night was brought to the city Thursday morning by ne- gro who told vague story of the killing.
 According to the messenger. Jackson and an unknown negro were walking down the road when two shots were heard. Soon after. Jackson was found dead. with two loads of bucishot in his body. The affair was reported to Sheriff Hood, who dispatched Deputy Sheriff w. H. Rives with two hounds to the scene.

P0LICEMEN's DUTY DOES
 NOT END WITH ARREST

Policemen who make arrests must in court when their prisoner is tried or an attachment will be lodged against them. according to the ruling of Captain Miles Smith.
 In the Recorders Court Thursday af- ternoon there were number of small negroes who were brought to the bar of justice. but when their cases wore called the policemen who made the ar- rests were not there to prosecute them. This aroused the Ire of the captain. who asked the court to issue attach ments for two of them.
 Three of the boys who were arrested admitted they were guilty as accused. They were under the age of 14. and therefore could not be incarcerated un- der the law. In consequence thereof there was a snAnkingsibee in the jail Immediately after the court adjourned and good dose of "strap-oir, was ad- ministered to them.

 AT WORK.

 The committee expects to have com pleted its work in time for the next council meeting. the last of the fiscal year. which occurs two weeks from Monday, next, or December 27.

SPECIAL DISPATCHES
SENSATIONAL
ACCOUNTS OF STRIKE IN HAWAII
SENT TO JAPAN ARE HIGHLY
CoLORED.

Toxic, June 18.-Special dispatches
from San Francisco to Japanese news
papers are so worded as 20 indicate
that conditions obtaining in the Ha-
waiian islands, growing out Of the
japanese sugar plantation hands
strike, are extremely serious. They
declare that the Japanese on the main
land as we'll as those in the islands
are greatly incensed over the treat-
ment accorded their country,nen by
the Hawaiian planters, and they say
that relations are strain.l almost to
the breaking point.
The publication Of these inflamma-
tory dispatches is again arousing an
anti American sentiment among the
Japanese lower classes. The sensa-
tonallst papers are sei2ing the oppor-
tunity and are commenting edito-iaily
in manner calculated 10 increase
this feeling of hostility.
Japanese Consul General Tyemo at
Honolulu and the officials of the Jap
anese foreign office are inclined to
minimize the seriousness of the Ha-
waian situation They frankly de-
clare the dispatches untrue
