That the significant editorial in a recent issue of the Educational EN- change, written by Dr. J. H. Philips in reference to the Story of Coal ard Iron in Alabama by Miss Ethel Armes, should be the source of any mis'n : derstanding is a matter of surprise to all who know both the book and the criticism in question.

 What we are trying to do.' said Jones G. Moore, chairman of the finance committee, lis simply to raise the pub iication debt of $500 and then by fol- low up measures dispose of the hum dreds of copies of the work that will remain after the debt is lifted. That this work should be used in the high schools as supplementary reading is evident to all who have read it and the decision 10 place 1t before the board of education at a reduced rate was made, not to lift the debt on the book. but to afford the young people of the states apd especially of Biz mingham the opportunity to secure tile history at a lower price
 As for the measures to lift the debt, that is another thing. The committee is working that out. Within the past week letters were sent out to many
 parties concerned in the history T. Ii. Aldrich, postmaster, who with Mai E. M. Tutwilcr was a forme T

 Several of the original subscribers tdied before the work was completed. As consequence many hundred dol- lars originally subscribed have not yet been paid. The debt is one rather of honor than otherwise. We have written to the heirs of all of those whose notes were given us personally. "ln addition to this phase of the question there are a few promised payments due since the book was pub- l'shed and a great many instances where individuals and companies have purchased copies of the book or never paid for same and where agents have failed to turn in funds.

NEW ORLEANS LIKES BIRMINGHAM COAL President Mccormack Says Business Between Cities
 Is Increasing

a E That the business of the Pratt consol- dated Coal company to New Orleans would increase this season 20 per cent over last year, which is an evidence of the growing relations between Birrning- ham and the port of New Orleans, was the statement made yesterday by G. B. McCormack, president of the Pratt com pany.
 Mir Mccormack said Birmingham coal was being shipped into New Orleans at this time regularly and to the great satisfaction of the local dealers who have long recognized the legitimate rights .,f Birmingham in the New Orleans field.
 The Pratt company and others have been selling into New Orleans very sat- isfactorily during the past two years or more," said Mr. Mccormack.
 However, this season will see our sales go 20 per cent greater than in 1910. That indicates to my mind that the Bir- mingham district is making very firm in- roads into the coal business at New Or jeans. The Pittsburg field could never go into New Orleans if it were not for inc fact that the river rates are secured. iio"eNei, dil tolu that as time passes and as Birmingham grows bigger, the Pittsburg dealers will recognize the fu- ullty of competing with Birmingham on account of the risks incurred in ship ping by water. Tn a short time the de- sire of D. D. Moore of the New Orleans Times-Democrat will come true as to our furnishing that city with all it's good coal
 It is stated that other local companies are making fast gains at New Orleans and that the bunker trade has increased over any season of the past. so far as Birmingham fuel is concerned.
