COMMANDERS ARE OLD MEN.

1t is shown by the records that the European powers have not Os-
krized their sohiers-at least they have let live and kept in active ser
vice their commanding officers of the higher ranks. The average g
OF fifteen of the leading French generals is sixty and a half years the
age of the commander -in-chief being sixty-four. The Germans in COM
mand in the kaisers armies are still older, the average or twenty-one
OF the highest rank being sxtythree and a half years. The average Of
the English generals is the lowest OF all, being just under ffy-four
years. An English writ r calls attention to the fact that the youngest
commanding general in the armies of that courtry is IS old as were
Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo. He also points out that in
the present a the offensive has remained N the side oil the oldest
staff. The old axiom needs to be modified, and it is still young men
for al, in the ranks and in the lower officers grades. but it is re cd
soldiers fer the chief commands.

AMMONIA USED TO INCREASE YIELD.

Farmers in the British Isles are conducting experiments with sui
phte of ammonia to- increase the productivity OF the potato fields.
In this connection oe Of the recen reports of the department M
technical instruction for Ireland showed that fifteen tons OF 1arryard
manure gave a yield Of eight and a half tons OF potatoes. The addi-
ton of a hndredweight CT ammonium suphate increased the potatoes
by nearly a ton The University College OF North Wales has mace
similar experiments which show that in four years the expenditure OF
one pound (5) in sulphite Of ammonia and superphosphae produced
nee n tom and three times a ten and a half OF potatoes beyond tue
yield Of the ten tons of farmyard manure to which it was added. Po-
we're worth four pounds ($0) a tom last wear.

POINT OF TRIAL BY
JURY OF PEERS FOR|
SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA, Jan. Attorney Cen
eral Clifford Walker left for Wash
ington today to take up in the United
States supreme court a habeas cor
pus appeal in murder case, which is
based on very unusual grounds, and
in which peculiarly interesting point
is raised.
Robert Kitchens, a negro, was con-
victed of murder in the superior court
in Washington county. He appealed to
the supreme court of the state and the
lower court was affirmed. Petition for
ksbeas corpus was then instituted be-
fore Judge Emory Speer in the United
States district court, in which the
ground of the petition was the 'allega-
tion that the jury panel put upon the
prisoner, in the superior court of
Washington county was illegal in that
the jury commissioners of Washington
county has excluded from the jury box
the names of negroes because of their
race and color. In Justification for
apparently having waived his right to
raise that point in the court of orig
inal jurisdiction the habeas corpus pc
tition set up the claim that the point
was not raised in the state supreme
court or in the superior court OF the
county because of fear of mob VOL
ence though the case offers no sub
sanitation for such an allegation.
The federal supreme court has here
tofore held that, where negroes are
excluded from jury service because of
their color and race, but not from any
other reason, such an act is illegal and
jury drawn from a panel where
there was exclusion for that reason is
an illegal jury. That right to plead
that point at the time of original trial
Or in an appeal to a state supreme
court, which apparently is waiver,
was because of fear of mob violence"
is however new and unique point.
Attorney John r. Cooper, of Macon.
will appear before the spreme court
in behalf of Kitchens.

NATION IS AROUSED
OVER SAD PLIGHT Of
WILLIAM FUTRELLE

MOULTRIE, Ca, Jan. 1.--Since the
publication of the story telling of the
pathetic plight of Will Futrelle, broth
or of Jacques Futrelle, the author,
who it out at the county farm victim
of the white plague, his case has at
tracted wide attention.
At the request of the governor Of
Massachusetts Governor Harris of
Georgia, asked the local auth
critics concerning the unfortunate
man. The Massachusetts governor
wanted to know if Futrelle was able to
DC moved to private sanitarium and
he also inquired as to the cost of
such step.
The physician in charge Of the sick
mans case stated that it would be at
least two weeks before it would be
safe to move him and said that at
present he was comfortably located.
Governor Harris was told to convey
this information to the chief execu-
tive Of Massachusetts.
Jacques Futrelle was a resident of
Boston at the time of his tragic death
on the Titantic and this fact probably
had something to do with the solcita-
ton regarding his brother.
Many other inquiries have also been
received concerning Mr.. Futrelle.
Moultrie people have been especial
ly kind to the hopelessly i'll man who
found an asylum here after many
weeks of suffering and want.

Small Changes in Coal.

The production of bituminous coal
and anthracite in 1915 is estimated to
have increased between 4 and 5 mil
lion short tons, or less than 1 per
cent. The quantity of bituminous coal
mined increased 1-2 million tons
and that of anthracite decreased over
2 million short tons. Owing mainly
to steady demands for export coal and
for coke for steel making, the output
in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Alaska increased over last
year, but little change is recorded in
other eastern States. The region west
OF Ohio, including the Mississippi
Valley, shows a general decrease, Col
orado being the only Western State to
show betterment.
Connected with the coke industry
was the completion during the last
summer of a number of large plants
for the recovery Of benzol from by
products coke-oven gas. This gives
the United States its first output Of
this material, so important as raw
material in the manufacture Of high
explosives and chemical dyes and the

THAT A MINING REVIVAL IN THE
UNITED STATES IS IN FULL SWING


amount of this product will be report
ed later.
Preliminary estimates of the total
output of petroleum in the United
States in 1915 indicate a slight in
crease over the corresponding output
in 1914. 1t is believed that the total
petroleum yield of the United States
in 1915 amounted to 291 100000 bar
rels, of which quantity it is also es-
timated that 100000 barrels was
marketed and 24,000,00O barrels plac-
&c in producers field tankage during
the year.
The sulphuric acid industry in 1915
presented interesting development, in
spite of the abnormal demand and
higher prices in the latter half of the
year, much of the sulphuric acid had
ocen contracted for or was consumed
in the factories where made. The
estimated production indicates an in
crease of 6 IL per cent in the three
common grades, but more than 100
per cent in the stronger grades.
The estimate of Portland tenement
output in 1915 indicates shipments
from the mills of S6,524,5OO barrels,
an increase of one-tenth of one per
cent over 1914. There was a slight de.
crease in production and this, with
the appreciable decrease in stock, in
dlcates a more conservative trend in
the industry, which in the preceding
few years showed a tendency to over
production. Prices generally averag-
ed few cents lower per barrel in
1915 than in 1914, although toward
the end of the year prices were sub
stantially Increased, and the outlook
for 1916 is brighter than for several
seasons.
Perhaps the most notable item in
the years record is the stimulation of
metal mining in the Western States.
Almost without exception the increas-
es in production were large and in
several states 1915 was the best year
on record. In Arizona, which leads
in copper, the output of that metal
exceeded the previous record produc-
ton of 1913. California continues to
lead in gold and had the largest yield
in 80 years, and with one exception in
half a century. In Montana and Ari-
zonia record outputs of silver are re-
ported and in Alaska the increased
production of gold and especially cop
per made 1915 a much more prosper
Gus year than even 1906 when Fair
banks and Nome were yielding their
greatest returns of gold from bonanza
placers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-The
midyear review of the mining condi-
tions reported to the Secretary of the
Interior on July 1 by the Director
2f the United States Geological Sur
vey is well supported by prelimin-
airy reports for the year submitted to-
day. The Geological Survey is making
public its usual estimate of mineral
production for 1915 in the form of a
separate statement for each of the
more important mineral products.
A revision of these statements con-
FIRMS Secretary Lanes comment on
last July to the effect that the mining
revival is in full swing. In the West
ern states alone the metal production
shows an increase in value of more
than $130,000,O00 over the correspond
ing figures for 1914; and the years
increase in output for the principal
metals measured in value is more
than $25O,OOO,OOO. Moreover it is not
unreasonable to expect when the full
returns for all mineral products are
compiled they will show that 1915
was the country's nose productive
year in the mining industry. The to-
tai may even reach two and one-half
billion dollars.
In the response to bettered condi-
tions the production figures for cop
per, iron and zinc show the largest
INCREASES.

Copper Beats ALI Records.

The copper mines passed all records
for previous years, the 1915 output
having value of $236,OO0,O0O, or $685.
100000 more than the value of the
production for 1914. The statistics
and estimates received place the out
rut of blister and Lake copper at l.
65,500,0OO pounds or more than 120,-
100000 pounds in excess of the larg-
est previous producstion and eigh-
teen per cent above last years figures
Only twice in the history of sopper
mining has there been a larger In
crease in quantity of metal produced.
Large Increase in Iron.
The total shipment of iron from the
mines in the United States in 1915 are
estimated to have exceeded 55,000,000
gross tons, an increase over 1914 of
more than IS per cent. Based on the
same price as received in 1914 this
represents an increase in total value
of about $27, 900. The increase in
pig iron is estimated at 100000 tons,
with total increase in value of pig
iron production of more than $780,
100000.
Zinc Records Also Broken.
The output of zinc (spelter) made
from domestic ores was larger than
ever before being about 425,OO0 tons
worth $12O,OOO,OOO as compared with
343, AIS tons in 1914, an increase Of
about $4,000 tons or nearly 25 per
cent in quantity and of $S5,000,000 in
value. Production was increased dur
ing the latter half of the year, as the
production during the first half was

at the rate of 415,000 tons annually
and at the rate of 436,0O0 tons during
the last half.
The output of refined pig lead from
domestic ores was about $4,000 tons
worth about $4S,5OO,OOO as compared
with 512,794 tons in 1914, an increase
of only $500 tons in quantity but of
$S,5OO,O0O or 20 per cent in value. The
production of antimonial lead was
20,55O tons as compared with 1868
tons in 1914, an increase of 1882 tons
or % per cent in quantity and an in
crease in value of nearly $2,OOO,O6J.
Gold and Silver Increases.
The annual preliminary estimates
or the production of gold and silver
in the United States, made jointly by
the United States Geological Survey
and the Bureau of the Mint, are not
yet complete, but early figures based
on reoprts from the mines Indicate an
increase in mine production over that
of 914 of over 100000 in gold, prin-
cipally from Colorado, California, AL
aska, Montana, and Idaho, and an in
crease in mine production of silver of
fully 100000 ounces, chiefly from
Montana, Utah, and Arizona. This
increase in gold production may bring
1915 up to the record year of 1909,
when the gold output of this country
was nearly $1O0,0O0,000.
Quicksilver also had it's best year
in 1915. The quantity increased rs
per cent over 1914, but the value of
the output more than doubled owing
to the much higher prices. The esti-
mated production was 2O,6S1, TASKS of
Il pounds each, valued, at the aver
age price for the year-the highest in
the last 40 years-at $1,76S,225. In
value, this domestic production was
the highest since 1881 and in guam
tity the largest since 1912.

The rejection OF tho bill by tho

with the solid Republican vote. While
the obnoxious feature. government

In he present bill it is limited 10 FIVE

will serve 10 placate the old opposi-
lion remains 20 be seen. Il has been
v~ariously claimed that Senator Clarke.
the chairman OF the Commerce Com
m.ttoe. has been won over 20 the

and Senator Clarke maintains a sphinx
Ike silence on the matter. The Pros
