COAL SUPERCEDEsS WOOD
AS FUEL FOR NATION

Washington-Coal now has been
acknowledged by the department of
agriculture and the geological survey
as chief fuel OF the United States and
firewood has been placed in the back
ground. According to bulletin is
sued by Chief Forester Henry S.
Graves, the census of 1880 estimated
that at that time nearly LAG million
cords of wood was used for fuel an
nually. The estimated value Of this
wood was approximately s322,00O,0OO.
The population of the United States
was at that time so million. Since
then, however, the population of the
United States has reached about 80
million, but the use of wood as fuel
has decreased in total quantity. Coal,
however, is used much more extern
sively.
The geological survey announced
that in 1880 the total production of
coal was 71.4S1,570 short tons, while
in 1908 it amounted to 415,842,69S
short tons, or nearly six times the
amount Of 1880.
The quantity of firewood used on
farms varies greatly between differ
ent parts Of the country on account OF
number of influences, such as cli-
mate, the distance from coal fields
facilities and the progressiveness OF
the consumers.
Except in the Pacific coast states
and in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mis-
souri,, the consumption of wood or
/ the farm, west Of the Mississippi riv-
er is comparatively small. The states
north of the Ohio river use less fire.
wood per farm than those south of it
/ Though this may seem strange be-
| cause the climate north of the rivel
is cooler, it is explained largely by
| the fact that in the north stove:
! burning coal are commonly used
! while in the south, open wood fire
/ places are more general. Not onl!
| is relatively little coal used in thu
! south, but fireplaces require larg'
quantities of wood for the amount o
I heat produced.
In the New England states and II
! the South Atlantic states rather NOR
wood is used than in the Middle At
lantic states. which are within a shor
distance of coal fields and which hav,
good transportation facilities.
Twenty-six states reported an an
nual consumption of more than 1,
000,000 cords each, while six of thes
states reported more than 1000. 00
cords each. The total quantity o
wood used for fuel in Michigan, Tex
as, New York, Wisconsin, Indiana
Missouri and Minnesota, the leadin
states in points Of value, exceed $85.
100000. This Is more than one-thir
of the value of all firewood used &
the United States
The highest average value in an
state was in North Dakota, which wa
closely followed by Nevada, while tn
, lowest values were found in Georgi
and Alabama.

Digges Bill Fails.

Governor Crothers has con.
cluded that it is better not to
approve the Digges bill. So il
will not become a law. That
part of it which provides for a
Constitutional Amendment be-
comes a law without his sigma
ture. Therefore, at the election
of 1911 we will vote "for" or
against" the proposition to
allow only negroes who have
five hundred dollars worth OF
property the right of franchise.
Governor Crothers was not
impressed with the arguments
made as to the effect the Digges
law would have on the State.
His reason for not signing the
bill was that he did not think
it would be proper to enact the
registration law in advance of
a ruling of the Supreme Court
of the United States upon the
question of its constitutional
validity. He says he feels that
such action might be regarded
as putting the State of Mary.

toward the Federal Govern.

Republican Discomfort.

THERE'S widespread discomfort
in the Republican party because
of the tariff laws recently enact
ed by that party and which has
undoubtedly been the cause of
the increased cost of living.
The West and Northwest are in
open revolt and in all the cleo
tons held since the tariff law
went into effect the Democrats
have won. The United States
Senate has a committee inves-
tigating the cost of living and
the reason for the increase. 1t
seems TO us that there must be
a lot of thickheaded nuts on
that committee not to know
just what to do right off the
bat. II we were on that COM
mittee we should recommend
that the duty on live stock and
dressed meats be repealed and
that meats and live cattle be
admitted to this country free of
duty. 1t is freely admitted that
this country cannot, or at least
does not, now raise enough
pork and beef for home con.
sumption. Then the common
sense plan would be to encour-
age those who have il to bring
it to our markets so that the
poor people of this country can
have meat to eat at a reasona-
BILE price. IL the tariff bars are
taken down Argentina and Can
ada will ship enough cattle and
hogs here to bring down the
price. Our farmers are not
benefited by the present ar
rangement, for very few OF
them raise more than enough
meat for their own use, and the
middle man gets the profit any
way. But the whole trouble
about taking down the tariff is
that Armour, Swift, and other
great packers, are protected by
the Republican party. The peo-
pie have stood it as long as they
can and they are turning on
the system that grinds them be-
meath it, and will see to it that
the next Congress is Demo-
cratic, as the Democrats stand
solidly for a reduction in the
tariff.

The first witness was |. S. Kirk
land, a member of the board of SUI
pervisors of Pearl River county, who
testified that he has known Bilbo
thirteen years and his reputation for
truth and honesty is good: that w.
w. Mitchell, j. S. Wheat, Tom White
and other witnesses who have testi-
fed against Bilbo, are not on good
terms with him. On cross-examina-
ton witness admitted that he did not
believe the parties referred to would
swear falsely because they are not
friendly with Bilbo. He said that he
had never heard Bilbo's reputation
for truth and veracity questioned, in
fact, could not recall any occasion
when he had heard the subject dis
cussed.
John J. Amacker, a farmer of Pearl
River county, also testified that Bill.
DO has a good reputation for truth
and veracity in the community, so
far as he knows.
The last character witness of the
afternoon was H. X. Rouse, sheriff of
Pearl River county, former represen-
tative and county superintendent of
education, and a first cousin of Bill
DO, who testified that Bilbo's reputa-
ton is good in the community, and
that he is not on friendly terms with

staunchest friends and partisans,
made an argument against the Logan
resolution, asking for the appoint
ment of a committee of five to draft
an amendment to be presented for
adoption.

This concluded the character testi-

that it would be impossible to finish

to get witnesses here, and that the
investigation ought to end some time !;
that practically the whole day had

adoption of said resolutions. and il
so, to limit the time to be consumed
by each side, and to define the order
of procedure"
Senator Potter offered to amend by
providing that the resolutions be pre-.
sented and considered Friday morn
ing at ten o'clock.
Senator Tucker offered to amend
by providing that Senator Bilbo be
delivered a copy of such resolutions
written by counsel for senate twelve
hours before same is considered by
the senate.
To this procedure Senator Ander-
son offered spirited objection. de-
claring that the senate should go
ahead and dispose of the investiga-
ton and reach its conclusion as
quickly as possible after the evidence
is in; that Senator Bilbo should be
allowed to submit all the testimony
he wants to, but after he has con-
cluded there should be no further de-
lays, as the investigation is a heavy
expense to the state.
Replying to Senator fuckers
amendment asking for twelve hours
notice, Senator Anderson stated that
he could give notice right now as to
one of the amendments the counsel
for senate intends to present, and
read it as follows:
Resolved by the senate. that after
hearing and considering all the testi-
mony in reference to the Bilbo-Dula-
ney bribery charge it is the Judge
ment of the senate that such testi-
mony demonstrates that Senator t.
G. Bilbo is unworthy of belief, and
he is therefore hereby expelled from
