MEN HELD ON

They We're Re-Arrested On
Robbery Charge--lSOnds

The four young men who were ar
rested in this city last week charged
with the robbery of an automobile in
Birmingham went before the courts
in Birmingham the first of the week
and the charge of robbery was with
drawn, and a charge of grandlarceny
lodged against them.
The young men are Messrs. Mat
thew Mcdowell and Ormond Moore
of this city and Mr., Walter Davis
of Reform, Ala, and Mr. Boyd Fun
derburk of Birmingham.
The following day, however. they
were charged with robbery and each
OF their bonds was fixed at 81, 200,
This information came to Mr. e. f.
Galloway in telegram Thursday. Mr..
Galloway went to Birmingham Mon
day to represent them in the Birm-
ing courts and was successful in
securing the withdrawal of the
charge of robbery against them
When this charge was withdrawn
a grand larceny was substituted and
the bonds for each of the young men
fixed at $5,0O0.0O. Mr.. Mcdowell and
Mp. Funderburk secured their
bonds immediately and were re-
leased from custody Mr.. Callaway
brought the bonds of the other two
boys back to Columbus and had sue
ceeded in making them when the
message came advising him of the
new turn in the cas-.
Mr.. Galloway has returned to
Birmingham to take personal charge
of the case, and as the grand jury
will not convene in Birmingham fol
several weeks will make bond fol
his clients. He anticipates no trou-
BILE in securing bondsmen though the
amount of the bonds is exceptionally
high due TO the seriousness of tn,
charge. In Alabama robbery is {
capital crime and ranks in the same
class as murder in this state.
Mr. Galloway is confident that h,
will have little trouble is eventual!
clearing his clients for he will show

tive of the owner of the car, a fac

Mineral Production of the United
States In 1918.

The Department of the Interior has
just issued preliminary report ON the
mineral production OF the United
States In 1918 for the purpose of max
ing public as soon as possible the sta
tsitics collected by the u. S. Geologi.
cal Survey for that year. The statis-
tics given for most commodities are
final; those for a few are only esti-
mates based on incomplete returns;
but on the whole the report gives
fairly complete record of the mineral
output of the country during the year
The total value of the minerals pro-
duced was about s5,526, 100000, more
than half billion dollars in excess of
the value recorded for 1917, but the
total quantity produced was less. The
output of fuels was greater than in
1917, though somewhat less anthra-
cite coal was marketed. The increase
in the quantity of coal marketed was
about per cent, but the increase in
value due to higher prices, was more
than II per cent. 1t is significant that
though the increase in the quantity OF
petroleum marketed was only little
more than per cent the increase in
value was over 32 per cent.
The value of the metal produced
was about per cent created in 1918
than in 1917. The figures show that
less iron ore and steel We're produced.

SALT is PLENTIFUL
BUT PRICE ADVANCED
78 PER CENT IN U. S.

Salt is plentiful in the United States
and more of it was produced in 1918
than in any preceding year, yet the
rise in it's price helped a little to in
crease the high cost of living. The
average price of salt per ton in 1914
was S2.09; the average price in 1918
was S3.72, an increase of 7S per cent.
The lowest estimate of human value
the minimum human efficiency-is
expressed in the old phrase Hes not
worth his salt" but this cheap COM
modify brought its producers in the
United States in 1918 nearly s27, ,000.-
900, which was $4,000 900, or 95 per
cent, more than they realized in 1917.
These figures and many others
showing the domestic production of
salt bromine, and calcium chloride
in 1918, by kinds and by states, are
given in a chapter of Mineral Re-
sources of the United States by r. w.
Stone, just published by the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, Washington, D. c.
Some producers reported that the
cost Of labor was nearly double that
in 1917, and many had trouble in get
ting laborers of any kind. One pro-
ducer reported that though the prices
were higher in 1918 than in 1917 the
profits were less.
We expected more than million
and half dollars worth of salt in
1918, most of it to Canada and to Gu
ba, though, strange to note. we sent
nearly 23,OOo,0OO pounds, valued at
about $4,000 to far-away New Zea-
land.
The report contains brief sketches
of the principal foreign deposits of
salt. 1t also gives statistic of the do
ncticv production of bromine and cal
cium chloride, large part of which
is derived from hrines that yield salt
as their principal product.
The survey has also published a re-
port entitled ''The Salt Resources of
the United States,"' by w. C. Phalen
(Bulletin 669), which may be obtain
ed without charge on application to
tho Director of the Survey at Wash
ington. This report contains descrip-
tons of the deposits. accounts of their
origin. many analyses of natural
brines and bitterns, and statistics of
the salt industry in the Enited States
from its beginning.
