Anthracite Coal.
Macon Telegraph.
The shortage in the anthracite
coal supply, caused by the great
strike now on, calls to mind the
struggles which the introducers of
this fuel had less than a century
o to induce the people to use it.
e ‘‘black stone” was denounced
as a fraud, and it was asserted
nhat it was impossible to burn it.
At the close of the Eighteenth
century in 1791, the Lehigh Coal
Company tried in vain to sell in
Philadelphia the new fuel which
liad been found on its property
ill Carbon county. Several, at
tempts were made to burn an
thracite, but for a long time the
results were uniformly unsatis
factory. Finally, in -1815, the
secret was accidentally discover
ed. Tests had been made at a
rolling mill at Sohuylkill. After
repeated attempts tornake it burn
by means of frequently raking
the fire, the workmen gave up the
experiment in disgust, filled the
furnace with the worthless “blaok
stones,” and left it. Returning
a few hours afterward, they were
amazed to find a fierce fire with a
terrible heat, and thenceforward
the problem of burning anthra
cite was solved. But the people
were slow to believe that it was
possible to get heat by burning
the black stones. As late as 1888
one Charles Miner wrote as fol
lows:‘‘While we pushed forward
onr labors at the mine, hauling
coal, building arks, etc., we had
the greater difficulty to overcome
of induoing the public to use our
coal when brought to their doors,
much as it was needed. We pub
lished handbills in English and
German, stating the mode of
burning the coal, either in grates,

smiths’ fires, or in stoves. Nu
merous certificates were obtained
and printed from blacksmiths
whd had successfully used the an
thracite. Mr. Cist formed a mod
el of a coal stove and got a num
ber cast. Together we went to
the several houses in the oity and
prevailed on the masters to allow
us to kindle fireB of anthraoite in
their grates, ereoted to burn Liv
erpool coal. We attended black
smiths’ shops and persuaded
some to alter the “too-iron” so
that they might burn the Lehigh
coal, and we were sometimes oblig
ed to bribe journeymen to try the
experiment fairly, so averse”were
they to learning the usp of a new
sort of fuel so different from what
they were aooustomed to.”
But even these methods were
slow to overcome popular preju
dice. It was only when, through
a sudden rise in the prioe of char
coal, the manufacturers began to
use anthracite that the new fuel
found its way into favor. To-day
a shortage~an anthracite coal

The Half Has Not Been Toldjgg|
Macon News, Oct. 8.
Every body had ample warning
not to be surprised Avhen it was
found what a big thing the Na
tional Farmer’s Congress is; yet
there.is hardly a person who at
tended the opening exercises yes
terday morning at the Academy
of Music who was not astonished
at the important nnd imposing
body of men, and the program of
the congress.
The delegates are from many
states. Far oft' Wisconsin and
Michigan sent men and women,
who ure delighted with the oitv’s.
cordial welcome, the fine exhibits,
of .Georgia products and the genial
Southern sunshine. California
fruit growers are surprised that
Georgia peaches and grapes and
ilums are as fine as those grown
n their own country. Western
planters show eager interest in
the many grains that Georgia soil
ias grown, and men who have
seen the lumber camps of the
northwest, linger over the slabs
of Georgia pine and walnut and
oak and cedar.
The name and fame of Georgia,
the Empire state, will be carried
to the far corners of the United
States by this meeting in Macon,
and Dixie land will have a broad
er meaning to those who, have
seen it now, The great subject
of interest to the Northern and
Western farmers is the cotton
crop. The delegates may be seen
with the bursted bolls of cotton
pinned on their badges, that pro
claim they are from Illinois or
Wisconsin or Ohio.
They are all pleased and sur
prised with Georgia and Macon;
and every body here, is surprised
and pleased with the magnificent
body of men representing the
Farmers National Congress.

and this week will be long remem-

The Amerioan Ornithological
Union is sending out circulars to
prominent men in Georgia oalling
attention to the fact that under
the statutes this state gives no
protection to insectivorous and
weed-seed eating birds during

birds, it is argued, are of great
value to farmers and fruit grow
ers and should have protection
It is probable that the Legisla
ture, at its approaching session
will be asked to extend its good
offices to these feathered friends
of the farmers.

Reports of railroads handling

We are not so sure that the

While the south wants and will
