SENATOR BACON OF GEORGIA
by Associated Pre=sl

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE United
States senate today paid its final re-
spects to the late Senator Bacon of
Georgia.
The funeral ceremonies, which
were conducted in the senate cham

flowers, except one design which was
presented by the senate itself.
Two hours before the body was TAX
en- into. the chamber it lay in the mar
bic room adjoining.
Seats on the floor of the senate
chamber were reserved for the pres
ident of the United States, his cabi-
net, members of the supreme court
and other high officials. Members
of the house of representatives and
close friends of the deceased senator,
were admitted to the galleries by the
guards. Hundreds of others who
came to pay homage were turned
away.
The members of the dead states
mans family were escorted to seats
on the floor of the senate.
Vice President Marshall, in a voice
full of feeling, called the senate to
order, and directed that prayer be
offered by the chaplain.
After a beautiful prayer by the
chaplain, Bishop Alfred Harding pro-
nounced the Episcopal funeral ser
vice.
Vice President Marshall then, with
a few words, gave the body into the

chamber, Union and Confederate sol

from him by Mrs. Wilson, and placed
beside the senate wreath on the cot
fin.

CONTRACT AWARDED FOR NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING

The county board of public instruc-
ton met Tuesday afternoon for the
purpose of opening the bids and
awarding the contract for the erection
of the new school building. The trus-
tees of the sub-school district met
with the board and participated in
awarding the contract.
The general contract for the con-
struction of the building was award
ed to Messrs. F. w. Long and Com
pany of Jacksonville. Their bid was
for $46,5S5, as against $59,931 of Mr..
P. D. O'DeH: $5S,479.90 of Messrs. Nc
Iver & MacKay, and $56.50O of Messrs.
j. F. Jenkins and Company, all of
Ocala.
The plumbing contract was let TO
Messrs. Coons and Colder of Jackson
vile, for $2957. as against $4,000 of
the Ocala Plumbing and Electric
Company, and $317S9S of Mr.. II. w.
Tucker of this city.
The steam heating contract was let
to the Atlanta Steam Heating Com
pany for $2497.
We understand that work on the
building will begin at once. The
building will be erected on the beau
tiful lot in front of Mr. James r.
Moorhead, which was recently bought
by the sub-sehool trustees.
The design and plans for the new
school building is the work Of Mr..
Earl Mark, a former Ocala boy and
now a rising architect of Jackson
vile.
AS Mr.. Marks boyhood days were
spent in Ocala, and as he entered up
on his career of manhood here he has
taken particular pains to give US
plans of building of special merit.
and we think that all the people OF
Ocala will be proud of the building
when it is completed.
With the school building. the Wo-
mans Club building and the Carnegie
library building all in process of cree
tion at the same time there viii be
something doing in Ocala in the way
of public buildings. There is also to
be school building erected in North
End Ocala and a new city hall.
Ocala will certainly have cause to
put on just few extra airs.

THE COAL SUPPLY

From the New York Telegram. It is gratifying to learn from experts of the United States geological survey that orinigally there was enough coal in this country to make a solid block 1C miles long, 10 miles wide and 10 miles high
 A block of this size would weigh more than 3,500. 900, COG, GOO tons, and up to the present time the coal that has been re- moved amounts only to something like 15,- GOO ,00o, 0Oe tons.
 The coal mined during 1914 will amount to about 600.000,000 tons, containing about 00,0O0,OO0 cubic yards.
 Just how much coal this is can be partly estimated when 1t. is said that it is fai greater than the excavation of the Pan- ana canal; that the total excavation foi the Panama canal from start to finish is computed at some 262 900 GOO cubic yards
 In the face of this there is talk of the price of coal going to s20 ton this win ter. Of course, warships and merchant steamships will want more than usual but the supply should be equal to the de- mand.
 With no desire to interfere with big business, manipulation to curtai produe- ton and raise prices should be watched and headed off

Manufacturers to Participate

One of the most important organi- cations growing out of the American trade situation precipitated by the European war is the National Foreign Trade council, of which James A. Far rell, president of the United States Steel corporation, is chairman. This council is a small, compact body, but every member of it is of high stand ing in the business world. In reply ing to a recent editorial in the Daily Iron Trade of Cleveland Mir. Farrell said:
 Your assumption that the National Foreign Trade council are only de- voting their attention to two lines of exports is erroneous. since the ques- ton of facilitating exports of manu- facturers is considered as equal in every respect and as important a moving grain and cotton. In fact, the whole merchandise export situation is having the attention of the commit- tee appointed without regard to any particular commodity.
 Before Mir. Farrell became presi- dent of the Steel corporation he was at the head of one of it's subsidiary companies and was recognized as a great authority on foreign trade. He is a great merchant, and the leaders of industry were fortunate in inducing him to take the chairmanship of the National Foreign Trade council. He naturally inspires confidence, and it is safe to say that no more resourceful business man could have been found for working out large problems ir the peculiar situation that has recently arisen.

Excellent Appointments

As Attorney General of the United States James c. McReynolds has been one of the strongest men in Presl- dent Wilson's cabinet and as an asso- ciate justice on the supreme bench to which the President has appointed him to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge H. H. Lurton, he IS sure to achieve distinction. He Is. not only a brilliant lawyer but he is a man of uncommon force of character. After practicing his profession in Nashville many years, and filling the chair of law in Vanderbilt university for three years he removed to New York, where he was especially re- tained by the United States in mat ters relating to antitrust proceedings. While he has been firm and aggres- sive he has always shown himself to be free from prejudice. With such equipment and such record as his Mr. McReynolds will prove very de- cided acquisition to the supreme court.
 Thomas w. Gregory, who succeeds Mr. McReynolds as the head of the department of justice, is another ex- cellent selection on the part of the President. He is a native of Missis- sippi but has spent the greater part of his life in Texas. In law practice he has had wide and successful ex- perience. About a year ago he was appointed special assistant attorney general of the United States in charge of New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad investigations.
