HAD TO MARRY HIM
NOW WANTS FREEDOM.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 20.-Mrs. Nellie
M. Shafer wants a divorce from Henry
M. Shafer.
Mrs. Shafer filed a rather unusual
petition for divorce some time since,
charging that she had never been in
the company of young men and that
her husband had never mentioned the
subject of love to her until she went
to the home of his mother one after
noon and found him sitting on the
porch. He then and there, she de-
clared, awowed his unmistakable love
in a most brusque and abrupt manner,
telling her that she must marry him
that very day. He procured a license
late in the afternoon and they were
married about midnight.

half BILLION
Value OF COAL
MINED IN 1910
Exports Reached Forty-Five Millions
In Value, Doubling in Past
Decade.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Coal and coke
exports from the United States in 1910
aggregated As million dollars in value,
and in addition to this more than 20
million dollars worth was supplied to
vessels engaged in the foreign trade,
making a total of IS million dollars
worth of coal passing out of the United
States in the calendar year 1910. In
1900 the total value of coal and coke
exported aside from that supplied to
vessels in foreign trade) was about %
million dollars; 20 years ago, about Z
million; and 80 years ago million.
Thus the value of coal exported to for
eign countries in 1910 is practically
double that of ten years ago, 6times as
much as that 20 years ago, and %
times as much as that 80 years ago.
The quantity exported has grown from
a little over a half million tons in 1880
and about million in 1890 to ap-
- NAAAAotOiy ihiiiOH lOuS III lJUU, anu
IA million in 1910, aside from the s
million tons supplied to vessels en-
gagged in the foreign trade.
Coal is thus becoming one of the i'm
portant articles of expectation in the
foreign trade of the United States
The important items of expectation
are: Cotton, approximately $50 mill
ion dollars; meat and dairy products.
100 million; copper and mineral oil,
about "a million each; lumber about
40 million; corn about 2S million;
wheat, approximately go million;
leather, 3S million, and tobacco, So
The total production of the coun-
try is in round terms about rs million
long tons per annum of anthracite,
and approximately $50 million of hi
the estimated value at the
mines being, of anthracite, about 100
million dollars, and of bituminous ap-
proximately 400 million dollars.
Only about per cent of the coun-
trys production is exported, but it rep
resents 10 per cent of the total value.
