was active and firmer, with prices about
to points higher on covering and bull
support.
Offerings became heavier on the ad-
vance and after selling about to

a point or two late in the forenoon under
realizing and renewal of local selling.
Prices at midday were still from to s
points net higher. however, and the tone
was steady on anticipation of a bullish

The market showed increasing firm
ness during the early afternoon and 1t
seemed that the fear of a bullish govern

creased by unfavorable private crop ad-

G. r. Hodges, the white man charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses and with uttering forged pa

charges on Monday, was yesterday
sentenced to serve one year in the
state penitentiary at hard labor. SEN
tence was pronounced upon him by
Judge e. D. Beggs. of the court of
record in which court he entered the
plea of guilty.
Hodges. it will be recalled, was
charged with having forged the name
of ]. M. Rogers, ST., prominent resi-

a saloon in this city. Since his arrest.
It has developed that he is wanted at

Other Cases.

United States Steel led the market
during the morning session. The rise
partook largely Of a drive against the
short interest. Advance in prices of
many manufactured products in steel
and iron was helpful There was fur
Their realizing in Lehigh Valley and Read
ing with reactions in Can and pfd. Les
ser known specialties were prominent
with gains that ranged from to over 2
points. Trading diminished towards
noon, with a hesitant undertone. Bonds
were irregular.
Further buying of United States Steel
sent the price up to II IA during the
noon hour, with some recessions later,
while the more active stocks of the early
session were subjected to some pressure.
There was a demand for New York Cen
trail and Union Pacific, which advanced
them a point or more. The undertone
grew more irregular

International Harvester gave color TO the
old report that probable settlement of

DESTIN.
Special to The journal.

Destin, May 1--we are having
some pleasant weather at this writing
after big hurricane that swept over
our little community Saturday morn
ing. Many of the fishing launches
were damaged, other boats went
ashore and trees blown down in album
dance.
The Brilliant, a fishing smack,
braved the storm Saturday morning
and came to East Pass bar, when it
looked as though no boat could pass
over.
Mrs. Bill Williams is some better at
this writing but her little girl, Gladys,
is very i'll yet. DIR. Strong, from Free
port, was called down last night.
Mr.. Fred Williams's children have
the measles.
Mr.. VIM. Marler will be quite busy
for several days now repairing the
damaged boat of the recent hurricane.
The rosin boat Lottie went up in
flames few mornings ago. She was
under the care of Mr.. L. Griffin. 1t is
reported he barely escaped from the
burning craft in time to save himself
from being cremated.

A NEGRO SHOT
ANOTHER ONE
FATE GRIFFIN is ARRESTED AT
CENTURY ON THE CHARGE OF
ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO
MURDER, 1T BEING CHARGED
THAT HE SHOT ANOTHER Me-
GRO WITH A SINGLE BARREL
SHOT GUN.

Charged with assault with intent to
murder, Fate Griffin, a negro, is now
sn inmate of the county jail, having
been placed there yesterday Afternoon
by Deputy Sheriff Bowman, who ar
rested him at Century.
Griffin is alleged to have shot an
other negro in the back with single
barrel shot gun. The trouble began
over some gambling the negroes had
been doing, according to the informa-
ton obtained by Deputy Bowman. 1t
seems that the negro who was shot
had won some money from Griffin and
when Griffin demanded that he give
the money back and he refused he
fired upon him with the shot gun.
1t is not thought that the negro is
seriously wounded, as the gun was
loaded with small shot.

Louisa could not catch what he said,
but she saw that the coroner, sud-
denly lost his morose air Of habitual
ennui, and appeared keen and greatly
interested In what he heard.
He gave certain instructions to the
usher, who beckoned to the group in
the shabby clothes. They advanced
with timid, anxious gait, a world of
unSpoken apologies in their eyes as
they surveyed the brilliant company
through which they had to pass. The

That they were personages of impor-

the fact that the usher was bringing
some chairs for the women and plac-
ing them close to those on which sat
the solicitors, and Luke and Louisa

Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set
thing of Millions.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what Is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posts of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1914
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal o annually mined in Canada
Is about - million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
of "a billion tons, it Would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1876 years. or
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
OF Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output Is about
b00,000,OO tons. At that rate it
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per-
sons a year (and it looks now as If this
number would be reached this Year,,

the opening up OF this rich field Of ag-
riculture, and 1t is a high class of ag-
riculture, carried on by the use of
brains, and, where energy has not
been endowed, 1t has become in that
splendid air a case of inoculated en-
ergy.
The rapid advancement Of railways
makes the situation easy. Today one
may be located thirty miles from one
Of the many branches of the different
systems. A year from now, the whis-
tile of the locomotive and the long
train Of cars may pass the farm, the
elevator is but a short drive from the
home, a splendid market is established,
and all the advantages of an old set
tied community are at hand.
The prospects this year from an ag-
ricultural standpoint are exceedingly
bright, and, relieved of untoward con-
ditions, the farmer is already counting
his bank roll, planning for more ex-
tensive operations for next year, and
figuring on paying out for his farm.
He is calculating what the increased
value of his holdings, as a result Of a
successful crop, will add to his assets.
ALREADY some fields of wheat have been
harvested, barley has been cut, and
the yield is above his expectation. In
fact, the feeling at the time Of writing
is that never in the history Of any
country on the continent has there
been such a prospect Of q large aver
age crop, all over the three central
provinces of Canada, as will be harvest
