BIG Vein Nearing End.

Compared with 1911, Maryland coal
production stood still in 1912; Virginia
increased her production p per cent. and
broke all previous records. and West
Virginia mined 20 per cent. more, accord
ing 10 estimates given out by E. w.
Parker, coal statIStician Of the United
States Geological Survey
The Parker report ON the three coal
States discussed conditions and compari-
sons, as follows:
The final figures for the production of
coal in 1912 will not show any material
change from the production OF 1911. De-
mand for coal was much improved dur
ing the last few months of the year, but
operators had difficulty in filling orders,
owing to the shortage in cars The ap.
preaching exhaustion Of the Maryland
big vein Georges Creek, which has
been the source of most of the coal pro-
duced in the State renders any notable
increase in the States production i'm
probable until the thinner and lower beds
have been extensively developed.

Save the Birds.

Senator Mclean, of Connecticut, has
introduced a bill which Is designed to
extend national protection to migratory
and insectvorous birds The bill was
referred to the committee, and the COM
mittee has reported in favor of lis pas
sage. 1t would be we'll if it could be
passed BY both Houses Of Congress be-
fore the fourth Of March.
Scientific investigation proves that the
birds of the country are the very best
friends of the farmer, and whatever
helps the farmer helps everybody else
1t is to the tller of the soil that every one
must look to for the staff of life.
The effort to save the birds is no mere
sentiment II it we're no more than that
it would be sufficient, for who is there
that cares TO live in a birdless country?
But the economic side of the proposition
must appeal to every thinking man and
woman The birds that live upon the
insects that are injurious to vegetation,
and that prey upon the' crops Of the
farmer, are doing that which needs to be
done-that is. preventing the multiplied
ton of such insects. Knoxville Journal

A Good Law.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
has decided as constitutional the law
passed by the last Legislature authoriz-
ing the courts TO condemn property for
special uses. Under the law the party
desiring to institute condemnation pro-
ceedings files a petition in court three
appraisers are appointed who value the
property, report 10 the court. and, if not
acceptable to the contestants. jury IS
then empanelled and the case tried I'M
der the direction OF the court, when in
structions as to the law are given by the
judges as the snlt progresses, and uSu-
ally an intelligent verdict is rendered.
As is well known under the old law a
jury was summoned by the sheriff at the
instance of the complainant, the sheriff
presided and passed on questions of law
about which the average sheriff knows
but very little, while the contestants hb-
orally supply the jury with refreshments
of various kinds.
1t will hardly be contended that the
new law is not better than the old.
Under the new, litigants are more likely
to obtain verdict in accordance with
the law, and the facts in each case, and
the valuation placed on the property
sought to be condemned much nearer
to its real worth, than at the hands Of
Jury, summoned at the instance OF one
party to the suit
