AN EDUCATIONAL MONUMENT
BY MARY INGm HAsNINs

Greatness is a commodity rarely reeog-
nized during life. especially is this true
in the case of a modest retiring woman,
whose aim is to do the full duty to those
nearest, and an enlarged duty, to perpet-
uate causes dear TO the heart as that
cause sweeps down through the vast for
ever.
Mrs. Alya L. P. James, whose artistic
soul was keenly anve to the true and
the beautiful in history and art, designed
a Confederate Christmas seal, the sale of
the seals TO be donated to the Arlington
Monument until it was finished. then to
the Shiloh Monument. afterwards as di-
rected by the general division of United
Daughters of the confederaey Mrs.
James was southern woman and true
to the manor born, she was endowed
through heritage and cultivation with all
those charming graces that differentiates
the woman of today from the. woman of
antebellum history. At the recent meet
ing of the general division in Washing
ton resolution was passed to endow a
scholarship and call it ;ne ''Alva L. r.
James scholarship requesting every
chapter to contribute s. toward the en-
dowment the beneficiary to be placed in
some school in her beloved state of Ala
bama.
During recent years we have heard
much about the conservation of our ma
tional water power, conservation of our
forestry, conservation of our national
ideals, but the United Daughters of the
Confederacy desire to vtallze the policy
of conservation by conserving human
character in instituting scholarships thus
recognizing the needs of the children of
veterans, who are unable to secure an
education to fit them for life of useful
ness.
Cecil Rhodes the great empire builder,
achieved many great deeds, his mining
operations benefited all the southern part
of South America and Africa. He forced
miles and miles of shining steel from the
southern ocean into the land or ,ne
Ptolemies. He now sleeps, facing Cape
Colony, in the cleft of a great granite
rock, in the land of his physical achieve
ments, but far away 20 the north his
name will live forever; the endowed
scholarships in his native land will speak

elevate humanity in all lands and nations

Vast Coal Production

The production of coal in West Virginia
in 1912 reached the great total of 66,7S6,6s7
short tons. valued at the mines at $6e.-
1924, according to figures compiled by
Edword w. Parker, of the United States
Geological Survey.
West Virginia is one of the vast coad
fields. all of the state west of the es-
earpment OF the Allegheny mountains be-
ing in the coal-bearing formation, and the
actual coal area embracing about IL
coo square miles out of a total Of 2i,022
square miles in the state, says the Louis
willie Courier-Journal.
The coal of West Virginia are all
bituminous or semi -btuminous and are
mostly of high grade. Some camel coal
and a peculiar type known as "splint
are mined in the southern part of the
statet. West Virginia's coal production IN
1912 marked the maximum record Of the
state Tt was nearly as much as the
total output of bituminous coal In the
whole United Statees in 1882 and exceeded
the total production of both anthracite
and bituminous coal In 1871
For the last four years. including 1917,
West Virginia has held second place
among the states in the quantity of coal
produced, having taken the lead over
Illinois by 25 to 80 per cent The average
price of Illino~ coal, on the other hand
is from 20 to % per cent. higher than
that of West Virginia. 1t is true that
conditions in West Virginia are favorable
to low mining coal and that West Vir-
ginia coal can be sold at lower rate
per ton than the coal in the states with
which its product comes In competition
but it is also true that West Virginia
lacks an advantage which the others pos
sess In that she has no manufacturing
inductres to consume the product.

The increase In corn acreage is marked

fertilizer appears to have been used than

rains such as prevailed in the spring

AS to Predictions
Predictions We're freely made a few
Weeiss ago. with apparent justification. that
the yield of cotton in Alabama this sea
son would prove a record breaker. and
some authorities still believe that the
hnai outturn will be in excess of 15o0.-
200 bales. The data furnished by our cor
respondents, however does not warrant
so high an estimate. There have been few
general rains over the state since June

fallen. the moisture has not been we'll dis

COPPER DEMAND

The Boston News Bureau quotes a prominent copper producer as follows.
 T could write book on the pre- dictions made in the past 30 years lhtat the copper market would be swamped with the production of new districts"
 Continuing. the News Bureau says:
 This statement well illustrates the refusal of veteran copper men to be stampeded by glowing prophecies Of new additions to output Many years ago when the wealth of the great Araconda deposit was first establish ed, friends of the late John Stanton urged him to get out of his invest ments in Lake copper mines before the market was flooded by the produc- ! ton of the famous Montana property. But, as Mir. tSanton said years later by the time Anaconda's production had been developed, consumptive re i quirements had SO increased that even its enormous output was hardly felt l This has been the history of the copper market time and time again.

 Whenever the growth of metropoli- tan population has caused the capacity of terminals to be taxed, there is al. ways a second reason for electrified. ton: the reason for which the New York Central has electrified it's sub urban zone and for which all the rail ways oenterlng at London are adopt. ing the motive power. This comes out of the ability of the electric train to quickly stop and 10 quickly and smoothly get into motion again.
 The frank reason why the London roads are electrifying is that they must do it to get back traffic lost to the rival subway and omnibus system. The same thing has hap pened in a number of American situa- tions. The Manhattan Elevated rail- way in New York saved itself by elec. trifcation. The Long Island railway met the competition Of traction lines and built mp a handsome income in the same way. The West Jersey & Sea Shore. owned by the Pennsylva nia. turned deficits into profits by electri- flying across New Jersey from Phila- delphia to the coast resorts.
 The great steam locomotive has sur. rendered the operation Of great tun nels 10 the electric locomotive. There are now 27 1-4 miles of electrified tun nels on seven American steam rail ways
 The fighting ground at the moment and the electric locomotive is in such mountain situation as the two in which identification has just won out There are scores of big situations like them in the United States where similar change of motion power will come within a short time. Here cleo tricity is invading the field of freight haulage. where it was but a short time ago believed that the steam locomotive could never he approached.
