One thing that 1t is hoped national
Jurisdiction may do for Bull Run bat
uefield Is to render the field more ac-
cessible and to make It possible to
tour 1t in greater comfort. At present
no railroad extends to the scene OF
the two battles. The tourist leaves
the train at the little city OF Manassas
and drives some half a dozen miles
over roads that are nothing to brag

rived on the battlefield. he finds the
roads no better and ill-suited, when
choked with the notorious mud
formed from sticky Virginia clay, to
travel by buggy. much less by auto
mobile. Yet 1t Is battlefield which
aside from its purely historic interest,
affords a liberal education in strategic
value. as attested by the fact that de-
tails OF United States army officers
are sent each year TO make a study
of the battlefield as part OF their
military education.
The Federals and Confederates who
march shoulder to shoulder over the
hill and dale of this rolling country
this July will not attempt to traverse
more than fraction OF the battlefield
in their reunion parade. To cover II
all would tax the strength of young
men, for Bull Run is a mighty big
battlefield. II keeps a sightseer bur
rying to get even a general idea OF II
in a one-day tour (which is all the
time the average visitor can spare
when making side trip" from Wash
ington). and when the commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army OF the Re
public recently visited Bull Run he
spent three days going over the stage
of the momentous war drama and fol-
lowing the movements of both armies
in both battles.
The first battle Of Bull Run was the
result of the ION to Richmond" clam

He Tells stevey the Great Importance
Of Answering All Letters
Promptly.

"One thing you want to do, Stevey."
said Uncle Hiram to his hopeful young
nephew. is to answer letters prompt
ly.
Everybody likes attention. courtesy;
and everybody thinks his businessIis
of importance. We may be dealing
with forty people. and naturally we
think that ours is the important end of
the business. but We mustn't forget
that each OF the men with whom we
are holding correspondence thinks
that his is the important end. and in
fact 1t is to him. and we must treat
hims as we would expect him to treat
US If our situations we're reversed.
And back of his consideration of
the Importance of his business is his
instructive consideration of himself.
II we slight his business we slight
him. II we fail TO answer his letter
promptly he comes soon to think that
we regard him lightly. and that dis
turbs him, or he thinks that we are
slack and unbusinesslike. and so he
is shy about doing business with US.
Always acknowledge all letters
promptly.
Sometimes we get a letter about
some business that requires further
consideration before It can be settled.
or concerning which, to reach a set
Element we must first communicate
with still other people. In such a
case we are likely to wait, or We are
inclined to wait until we have every
thing rounded up before answering
the first letter.
But to wait In that manner In such
case, Stevey. would be mistake.
You want to answer his letter prompt
ly and tell him that the matter is
under consideration and that you win
advise him further at the earliest pos
sible moment.
incidentally | might mention that
to answer letters promptly is one way
OF making friends. and might add
that by making friends you make
money"

the national capital, possibly along
the line Of that highway which was
the scene of such picturesque happen

highway, together with road building

done at Gettysburg. would render 1t
possible for future generations to in

Ille Irorld.s Coal.

Recent consular reports contain a
number Of interesting facts relative
70 the coal trade In widely separated
parts OF thesworld.
The reports show that France pro-
dpced only about three per cent Of
the worlds output and the United
States about thirty-ope per cent.
The worlds output for 1903 was
5s2, 100000 tons, and the output
for the United States was s71, O00,-
900 tons.
Counting about 10000 tons to the
acre, which is about the average
number Of tons produced through
out the United States, the number
of acres of coal mined in the
United States amounts to about 81
900 per year. The present output
Of coal in the United States is more
likely to increase than decrease, SO
that 1t will readily De seen that the
coal acreage is disappearing at a
very rapid rate.
Within very short time Amerl-
can coal will be expoted to ali parts
Of the world. Within the, next few
years we maysexpeetl TO see the coal
supply in this country decrease at
the rate Of $4,000 acres per year.
This accounts for the rapid increase
in the price of acreage for coal aad
the soundness Of securities issued on
coal properties.

Lectures the Teachers.

There may be reason why the
FairImont Times, personal organ of
the oil and coal trusts, berates the
school teachers as follows, and no
one doubts what the reason is, al
though the Times does not appear
20 be sound on the reasons 1t gives:
The school teachers throughout
the state at their county Institutes
last summer passed resolutions to
put production tax on natural gas,
and some included in their declara-
lions coal aad oil. 1t is pertinent
to ask why these resolutions were
passed. Now it appears that since
the Legislators have assembled at
Charleston the teachers are busy
again at their local meetings de
handing" production tax on gas.
The chief point in the resolutions
seems to be in order that the wages
of teachers may he advanced.
Is this good reason for risking
a plan SO doubtful as the Inaugural
ton of tax on a product of the
state? Are teachers as rule un-
derpaid? Take the teachers of any
given district in Marion county and
examine into the payroll and see II
there are not number Of teachers
who would have trouble in getting
the wages they do for teaching, If
they were engaged in any other line
of work rated as intellectual. Take
