FEW WCONFEDERATES
REMAIN IN SENATE
Death Of Senator Johnston
Leaves Only Five Southern
Veterans in Body.

The death Of Senator Joseph F. John
ston OF Alabama, who saw long and
hard service in the Confederate army,
calls attention to the fact that the list
of former Confederates In the Senate
is rapidly thinning. One can count the
numbers of those left on a single hand.
Surviving Confederates in the upper
House are Senators Bacon of Georgia,
Bankhead of Alabama, TIIlman Of South
Carolina, Thornton OF Louisiana, and
Martin of Virginia Until recent years,
in the period following the civil war and
reconstruction, the Senate contained
many former Confederates.
Senator Johnston quit school to Join
the Confederate army when a lad,
through the war, was wounded four
times and was made a captain. SEN
ator Bacon was adjutant OF the Ninth
Georgia Regiment and later a captain
on stafr duty.
Tillman Joined at Seventeen.
Senator Bankhead was almost as
badly shot up as his recent colleague.
He saw four years of hard service and
was three times wounded. He also
became captain
Senator Tillman quit school when sew
enteen years old to go into the Confed-
crate army. He contracted fsyer, and
this illness not only caused the loss Of
his left eye, but kept him an invalid for
two years.
Senator Thornton of Louisiana went
into the Confederate army at the age
OF seventeen years, leaving Louisiana
state University to serve the South. He
fought as private until the close OF the
war.
Union Veterans Also Few.
Senator Martins service for the Con-
federacy was as one OF the cadets OF
the Virginia Military Institute. The
part taken by the cadet corps Of that
institution in the fighting in Northern
Virginia has become historic, and SEN
ator Martin cherishes the memory of IL
with natural pride.
II has not been many years sincs
the Senate was filled with former Union
ana Confederate veterans. Now, not
only are the Confederates becoming
scarce, but the former Union soldiers
also are rapidly thinning. The only for
mer Union soldiers now in the Senate
are Works of California. du Pont of
Delaware. Bradley of Kentucky, who
at fourteen, ran away from home twice
10 JOIN the service, and was then taken
home by his father; Nelson Of Mime
sofa, Warren Of wyoming, and Goff OF
west virginia. who was promoted to
major. Senator Warren received the
Congressional medal Of honor for gall
antry at Port Hudson, and Senator
Nelson was wounded and taken prisoner

COAL PRODUCTION
FOR 1912 IS RECORD
Total Mined for Year Was
534,466,580 Short Tons,
Worth S695, ,6O6,O71.

The year 1912 was a banner year
for coal production in the United
| States, breaking all records for guam
tity and value of coal according to
! figures compiled by z. w. Parker,
coal statistIcian Of the Geological Sur
vey. The total production was 534.-
466, $50 short tons, valued at the mines
at $685., ,6O6,071.
This year the report on the coal in
dustry OF the United States begins
the fourth decade in which coal sta
tistics have been published annually
by the Geological Survey. In 1882 the
first year of this period. the total coal
production OF the United States had
reached what was then considered
about high-water mark-l03. .55l, ,1S9
short tons
In 1872 the production of bituminous
| coal alone in the State OF Pennsylvania
exceeded that figure by nearly 90 per
cent. and the combined production Of
bituminOus coal and anthracite in Penn
sylvania in 1912 was two and a quarter
times the total production of the United
States in 1882. The total coal production
Of the United States in 1912 was more
than five times that OF 1852.
Poor Second
In 1882 the United States was a poor
second among the CoaI-prOducing cOun-
tries OF the world. Great Britain hay
ing an output exceeding that of this
country by nearly 20 per cent The
United States supplauted Great. Britain
as the premier coaI-producing country
in lSS9. and in 1872 1t was AZ far ahead
Of Great Britain as that country WAS
ahead Of the United States in 1882
The United States at present is con-
tributing 10 per cent Of the worlds sup
ply of coal, and is consuming over 90
per cent of its own production
In 1872 the production Of coal in the
United States not only SURPASSED all
previous tonnage records, but the aver
age value per ton exceeded that of any
normal year in lhr thirty-thrcr years for
which statistics ar ":svailable. There has
been "nIE "h" GEAR when prices gen
