GRAPHITE MINED IN AMERICA
Especial Correspondence)

Especial Correspondence)
Washington, June 12-Capitalists
in Nashville and Chattanooga, Tenn.
have organized and formed corpora
ton for the development of extensive
graphite deposits in Coosa County,
Alabama. They expect to be able to
sell the graphite they can take out for
from $240 to 1926 q ton, at least while
the war continues. This has caused
some Of the people in Worcester Coun-
ty, Mass, to consider the feasibility Of
resuming operations on what is known
as the old Sturbridge mine, which
years ago yielded graphite at 81 ton.
Graphite, or plumbago, is almost
pure carbon, and is used in the manu-
facture Of cruc'bles, retorts, foundry
facings, stove polish, pipe-joint com
pounds, and lead pencils. Deposits Of

Station at Pittsford Burns
The railroad station ut pittsford
was totally destroyed by fire. The en-
tire contents Of the building, as well
getting out Of the dep ruts, went over
as the coal elevator belonging to T..
X. Willis, were burned.
II happened that no great amount Of
freight or express was stored in the
station ut the time the biggest item
being eight barrels of -four belonging
to the firm of Thomas & White.
Without doubt the station was set
on fire by lightning as the telephone
poles and especially the cross pieces
on the poles, for distance Of a mile
from the station were splintered by
lightning.
The building was practically con-
sumcd before anying reached the
scene.
T. X. Willis, who owned the coal
building, has his loss partially covered
by insurance. There was some farm
machinery in the building which was
also burned.
Mr.. Willis expects to build again as
soon as possible.
The station was built % years ago
and replaced an older building which
was burned "a years ago. A freight
car, which jumped the track during
the night and crashed through the sta
ton, upsetting the stove, caused the
burning of the old station building.

North Carolina. Tennessee and Texas.
Prior to the war tho worlds product
amounted annually to somewhat over
100000 tons, of which considerably
more than one.third was consumed by
the United States, while only 5000
tons was mined here.
There has been . great deal Of dis
cussion as TO tho practieahlity Of de-
veloping the graphite industry TO a
! greater extent 10 this country through
the fundamentally Of protective
tariff Republicans in forming their
tariff laws have heretofore taken the
ground that cur dependence on For-
cign graphite has been 80 gre rs not
to justify . to& ga r.w mat5lG so
little produced here. Ia this respect
they appear TO have been guided by
the arguments Of the crucble COM
panies who believed that 200 tons Of
fake graphite, used in crucibles, was
a high estimate Of our annual produc-
ton,
On the other hand, several graphite
companies have insisted that, granted
/ protection from the coolie labor Of
Ceylon, whence comes our chief gra-
phite supply production here would
develop to point which would render
us more independent of foreign sup
ply. The Singalose get from 10 TO 30
cents day for mining the product.
Edward 0wings Townc, Of the An
selma Graphite Company, has dcclar-
cd that "a protective tariff would
greatly aid and stimulate the graphite
mining and milling industry and
would open idle mines. The president
of the Imperial Graphite Company es-
timated loss of $12,000000 in three
or four years because of inability Of
our mines TO compete with this coolie
labor. ii
But the war has conelusivcly shown
that, given the market the industry
will begin to expand u this country.
And this brings up for consideration
the steps which the British Govern
mont has taken, through cooperation
among its territories, to control the
world market in raw materials. To-
day over so per cent of our graphite
is coming from British possessions
$3,S57 900 out Of total importation
for 1916 of $4,300,000 came from Brit
ish territories. If, when peace comes,
Great Britain found our graphite
mines had taken the opportunity dur
ing the war to develop, her control Of
supply might induce her to break
down The price in our market and put
our mines out Of business. Or, If pro-
duction had not reached large proper
tons here, Great Britain might bull
her prices to the embarrassment Of
our manufacturers who will have to
meet postwar competition. 1t is a
subject on which manufacturers and
producers should get together. IL
protection will render us independent
Of foreign supply we should have it.
The day has arrived when such indie
pendence is of more Importance than
the question Of slight advance in price.
