QUANTITIES OF COAL
IN NORTH CAROLINA
State Has Millions Of Tons. Raleigh
Paper Speaks Of New Operations
News and Observer.)

It has been known for a good
many years that there was coal
in North Carolina. But most
people have supposed that there
was no appreciable quantity. Now
the government comes along and
says there are millions of tons.
From the Cumnock mine, own.
ed by the Norfolk Southern Rail.
road Company, coal is being TAX
en- regularly, and it is said that
the firemen, on that road prefer
it to any other kind.
The new mine, operations in
which have been directed by Mr..
Bion H. Butler and associates, is
prepared for mining coal on a
large scale. twenty-five or thir.
ty men are now regularly en-
ployed and the number will be
increased.
The mine is in six miles of &C.
cess to four railroads, leaving
nothing to be desired in the way
of transportation. What is still
more important it is in a terrific.
ry which is now getting most Of
it's cool with heavy freight rate
added to the cost of the coal at
the mouth of the mine. This lat.
ter is an enormous advantage
when it is remembered how high
freight rates are now.
North Carolina is singularly
blessed. 1t has resources far
greater thafi it knows.

i've improvements, he was always
counted, though absent, when
groups of gentlemen would dis.
cuss any of these matters.
His judgement was good, his
advice was always sought. TO
many l have put this question:
What man in Boone has the
greatest balance, the most com.
mon sense?" The incentive an.
swer always came: "Manley
Blackburn" He was modest and
retiring, but an astute man with
great ability.
To me personally his death is
a distinct lOss-an irreparable
loss. For twenty years, amid all
kinds of perplexing problems,
when other friends were hesitat.

slant, steady, strong. One of the
deep regrets we all must have,
that we did not express our ap-

.FAvORS COOPERATIVE
MARKETING OF WOOL
Foremost Wool BusrH witiuyi csualJ
Wants 1922 CLIP Pooled
(By W. E. Shipley.)


Since the fruit growers. the
tobacco growers and the West
tern wool growerss have proven
that cooperative plan Of mar.
keting is q success, why not the
wool-growers Of .Watauga county
organize now and pool their 1922
clip? Practically all local ool
pools have failed for the reason
that that there is not enough in.
terested to make a car load. Ten
thousand pounds Is a minimum
and fourteen thousand pounds Q
maximum car load. When you
have q tull car of wool to offer
you can get q buyer to como aud
pay you the full market value for
your wool. Philadelphia is our
best market, but local freight
charges from here to Philsdel.
phia are prohibitive.
l have bought eighty per cent
of the wool in this county for the
past fifteen years. From 1910 to
1917 our wool sold at 10 cents per
pound higher than the western
wool. Now, if you will notice the
market, or what the western
grower gets for his wool, you will
see that they are selling wool at
from five to ten cents per pound
higher than any has been sold
here. Not because their wool Ia
of a higher grade, but because
they have better methods of mar.
keting.
Our wool grades the same as
Virginia, West Virginia and Ken.
lucky, one fourth blood. If you
will notice market quotations on
the above you will see what our
wool is worth on the markets.
II the sheep men of this county
will re.organize and get the far.
mers all signed up you will know
approximately what you, will
have to offer. The average clip in
this county is about 5 pounds to
the sheep, and when you have
che number of sheep in the coun.
ty you. will know what amount of
wool you have to offer. with
your organization in effect you
can let the wool people of the
East know what they have for
sale, and when your sale is made
they will send a nah here to re.
ceive and pay for 1t. There can
be some central point selected
and a day for delivery. This way
the grower will go back home
with his money in his pocket,
with no hereafter to fear of shor.
tage of weights, bad grades, etc.
It looks now that it is q safe
gamble that our wool will bring
40 cents per pound, and possibly
more, if we don't fool it away. I
would like to hear from others.

HISTORY OF THE. \
CANNING INDUSTRY
Up Until 1925 The Canning Of Food, On
Of Our Leading Industries, Unknown

Louisville, Ky.-A history Of
the canned industry dates back
100 years, according to a review
at the recent convention here Of
the National Gamers Association
The process began to be work.
ed out simultaneously in New
York and Boston. Thos. Lem
sett and Ezra Dagget7 of New
York succeeded in 1925 canning
or packing in a crude way sal.
mon, Holsters and oysters. In
Boston William Underwood and
Charles Mitchell, using heat, sue
ceeded in packing damsons, quin.
ces, cranberries and currents.
Up until this time the canning of
food, one of the most important
Industries of present civilization,
was unknown.
Credit for the discovery of the
method of keeping perishable
goods by heat and sealing in air.
tight containers, however, be-
longs to a Frenchman, Nicholas
Appert. Appert, taking advan-
.tage of an offer by Napoleon of
$4,000 franks for the discovery of
a method of preserving food for
his army, began experiments
that after fifteen years, resulted
in tbe discovery that food could
be preserved by using heat and
putting the, product in sealed con
tainers.
The theory of the process was
unknown however to Appert and
it was not until the time Louis
Pasteur, the famous bacteriolo.
gist, discovered bacteria that the
scientific basis of canning was
understood.
Prof. H. L. Russell of the Uni.
versity of Wisconsin, using Pas.
teur's discovery, found in 1895
that the spoilage certain pea can.
ners were experiencing was due
to bacteria. Prof. Russell's work
was continued by Prof. Prescott
and Prof. Underwood of the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy.
1t was not until the Civil War
that a canning factory was estab-
lished. Canned goods, which
formed the principal rations OF
the armies in the World War,
obviated the necessity of soldiers
at the front going without food
for several days at q time, such
as had been the case in earlier
wars, it was pointed out at the
convention. . X
The War Department, during
the year and a half the United
States was atwar, purchased for
the American and Allied Expedi-
tionary forces 80, O,0OO,00O cases Of
canned vegetables and 100000,
cases of canned fruits, it was,
shown.
The annual output of canned
foods, according to the Census
Bureau, exceeds $500, 600 in val
ue.
In order to create interest in
canned goods the week of March
1.8 has been set aside as National
Canned Goods Week.

MANLY B. BLACKBURN
DIES IN BALTIMORE.
Prominent Local Educator Pays Tribute Il
Memory M'Mr. Blackburn, 4 Loading
Business Nan and PuhlIe.spIdtsd
Citizen Of Boone Who Died Fob.
17it Joans.Aopkihs Hospital

(By Professor B. B. Dougherty.)
Mr.. Blackburn came to Boone
as Register Of Deeds in 1889.
Later he was elected Clerk of the
Court.
He was born on Meat Camp,
Aug. 1, 1858. Diedin Baltimore
Feb. II, 1921. Married to Miss
Martha Norris, a noble woman,
who survives him. Three chill.
dren: Mrs. DR.. J. w. Jones,
Mrs. M. P. Critcher, Mrs. Hen.
ry Hardin. The three boys died
when young.
Onleaving his Office, Mr.. Black
burn opened a hotel and store.
Later he enlarged his hotel, and
the store has grown each year.
Today his inventory would not
be less than thirty thousand dol.
lars. The hotel and real estate
are valuable.
Twenty years ago Judge Coun.
Gill, said to this writer: DO you
know that Manly Blackburn is
one of the most public.spirited
men that ever lived in Boomer"
He was then working and spend.
ing money to build the Metho.
dist church. Later',he became in.
tensely interested in a new court
house for Watauga. He wanted
vaults and safes, giving fire pro.
lection to our public documents.
AS a planner and organizer,
and as a leader of men, he had
but few equals in this country.
He campaigned the county for
bonds for the Watauga & Yad.
kin River Railroad. The bonds
we're carried but the road was
not built. When the campaign
was opened for dirt road bonds,
Mr.. Blackburn took the field q.
gain, often going into communi
ties where the bonds were least
understood and had least sup
port. He invited me to go with
him. He stopped men in the road
he called them out of their fields
he talked with them around their
tire-sides and in the public scnool
houses. With an incentive and
apperceptive knowledge he knew
what to say to each one on each
occasion. The bonds were carri.
ed, and he served as road com.
missioner without money and
without price.
Leaving his business, he went
during zero weather, when the
snow was deep, to induce people
to vote bonds to aid in the con.
struction Of a railroad into Boone.
The bonds voted, he helped with
the rights of way and gave his
strong cooperation to the build
ing of the'road.
AS town alderman he helped
build the concrete walks and rock
the streets, financing the propo
sition when necessary with his
own money. He worked day af
ter day, with his own hands, a
mid sunshine and rain, never
dreaming of compensation, be-
cause he loved the town and
wanted to see it improve.
When the Appalachian Train.
ing School was started, he was
among the first with a heavy sub
scription. His big team and dri
YER was at easy command fol
days, weeks and months. AS 8
Trustee and chairman of the Elk
ecutive Committe, he gave sup
port unstinted.
He filed a niche in the sociOlOg,
ical life of this town that can moi
be replaced. With a hospitality
widespread, a most remarkable
charity to both white and black
with a love for the church, and ,
passion for all kinds Of progress
