Literary Address

In speaking of Capt. j. f
Bullitt, who delivered .h,
literary address at Shoemaker
College, last week, the Gate
City Heard says:
Following the contest was
the literary address by Capt. j +.
+. Bullitt, of Big Stone Gap.
Capt. Bullitt was introduced ia
a brief speech by Mr.. y. It.
Carter. 1t was soon found that
Prof. Stair had made no mis-.
take in selecting the speaker.
Capt. Bullitt is intensely prac-
tical as well as oratorical. The
eulogy he paid Southwest Vir.
ginia was well pleasing to the
audience. He advised the
young people to stay here in a
progressive section and prosper.
He looked upon the good roads
movement as the most progress
sive step taken, and referred to
the benefits they will be educa.
tionaily, socially and in busi.
ness sense. With good roads,
he said. Shoemaker would grow
into one of the most flourishing
schools in the great Southwest
section.
Farm life was idealiged and
the intensive method of farm
ing dwelt upon. Let the peo-
pie, he said, make life on the
farm pleasant and attractive to
the young people. Surround
them with enjoyments OF the
proper kind, aud they will stay
there and prosper.
Capt. Bullitt closed with an
appeal for purity in politics and
secured many signers to the
pure elections pledge.

Greatest Coke Production

All records in coke produc-
ton were broken in 1918, ac-,
cording to a statement by Ed
ward w. Parker, of the United
States Geological Survey, the
output being 6,3l1.36 short
tons, valued at Si2S, 95l ,430.
This is an increase over the
1912 output of 1897 ITO tons in
quantity and $i7.l46,sl7 in
value. or the 1913 production
80, 1896, $50 tons was made in bee
hive ovens and l2,7l4, 200 tons.
or 29.4 per cent, in retort or
distillation ovens where all the
by products-tar, gas, am.
monia, etc. are saved. The
increase in production of by
product coke was over twice as
large as the increase in beehive
coke.
The principal increase in by
product coke production 10 1913
was in Alabama, where the
gain was nearly 80 per cent,
s'thA - 'f'ft % tOnc III IIl@ I'D
2,022 $50 in 1913. The increase
in Pennsylvania was nearly
one-third, from i,974,ela tons
in 1912 to 2,62S, $50 tons in 1918.
Indiana showed an increase of
ll0.6S6 tons, and Illinois of
"a, 900 ton.
a large part of the coal used
in by-product ovens ip States
that do not produce coking coal
was obtained from West Vir-
ginia mines. Mr.. Parker esti-
mates that the quantity of West
Virginia coal made into coke
outside of the State was $780,
600 tons. The quantity of coal
made into coke in West Vir-
ginia was 1 .034 ,25l tons and the
quantity of coke produced
therefrom was 2,472,752 tons.
If all the coke made from West
Virginia coal was credited to
that State 1t would amount to
1850, 900 tons.
