TALKING ABOUT
DEEP RIVER COAL
Interesting Facts Brought Out
in Speeches Matte by Mc-
Queen, Stiles and .Reeyes
Before Sanford Rotarians.
“The Carolina Coal Company has
invested $640,000 at Coal Glen on
Peep River. We had to build a stand
ard gauge railroad from the Norfolk
Southern to Coal Glen out to the
mine and build homes for the miners
and then we had to sink a slope a.
half mile into the ground before we
saw coal, but from the time we start
ed mining- coal up to now we have
sold $440,000 worth of coal. We
work from 125 to 150 men'in two
shifts of labor. We pay $1 per ton
for labor. The most coal P ever
knew one man to mine in a day was
nineteen tons. We have gone to a
great expense to develop this mine
and we now have coal in sight which
will take us about three years to
mine.”
These are a few* of the interesting
facts brought out in a speech made
by J. R. McQueen before the San
ford Rotary Club Tuesday. Mr. Mc-
Queen said that both mines at Cum
nock are now prepared to mine coal i
in large quantities. The man who ;
operate these mines have had to •
overcome difficulties which the aver
age man does not appreciate. They j
have been put to enormous expense
in laying the foundation of the work
and in getting- their organization in
working shape, but through it all
they have been patient under diffi
culties which would have discourag- !
ed less resolute men. Mr. McQueen
sees a bright future ahead for Deep
River coal, and thinks the develop
ment of these mines will be of im
mense benefit to Sanford and this
entire section of the state.
Dr. M. D. S. Stiles, who is down
here from Pennsylvania looking into
the bi-products possibilities of Deep
River coal, made a brief and highly
interesting talk to the Rotarians.
Dr. Stiles said the Carolina mine had
excess of a million tons of coal. Up
to the present time work at the mine
has been only work of development.
Now the men interested in the mine
are ready to mine coal on a large j
scale. He said the Deep River coal j
is all clean coal. He has made over ;
fifty tests since coming to the mine, j
The deposits he found, contained a
good fertilizer filler. The coal con
tains iron and about 10 gallons of
gasoline to the ton. Dr. Stiles
thought this coal and its bi-products
meant great things for this state and
especially this section of the State,
He thought that all of the natural
resources of North Carolina this coal
and the things that might be expect
ed to come out of it was the State’s
greatest single asset. He thought j
the time was not far distant when j
these mines would bring a great deal
of money to this section.
C. M. Reeves, one of the men who
has been interested in the develop
ment of the Carolina mine, said he
thought it a tragedy that we have
not more money with which to de
velop our natural resources. He de
clared that over $3,000,000 had been
spent at the Deep River mines in the
last three years. His company, he
said, had a good many discourage
ments and some misfortunes, and if
they should not succeed with their
work in a financial way, he was not
discouraged because he believed that
somebody would reap where they had
sown.
In connection with what Dr. Stiles
says, it may be of interest to note
that good possibilities for the pro
duction of petroleum on a paying
commercial basis from the oil shales .
of North Carolina are seen by H. J. j
Bryson, State Geologist. Mr. Bry-1
son has made a study of the shale de
posits and scientific developments in
the distillation of oil from the min
eral.
Production of petrol#ttm from such
shales as are found in the mountain
ous section of Western North Caro
lina has been carried out, and on a
paying basis Mr. Bryson points
out, both in the United States and
in Scotland. The discovery of petro
leum, however, threw the shale oil
industry out of gear and it has
since become a thing of the past. It
is seen as an asset when produc
tion of petroleum in its natural state
declines.
“Oil shale industry researches,”
says the geologist have just begun
on a large scale in this country. They
began in France in 1836 and quickly
spread to Scotland in 1850. For 75
years the industry flourished in Scot
land, but with exhaustion of raw
material the industry passed into his
tory a few years ago.
“Some work has been done in oil
shales in America, but the discovery
of petroleum in Pennsylvania in 1869
caused it to cease because it could
not compete with the liquid gold of
those days.”
North Carolina oil shales are
found in the Deep River section
above the coal that is being mined
in that section now. The shale and
borings show a thickness of 35 to
40 feet over a large area. The
amount calculated from the available
data, is about 40,000,000 tons, and
the yield has gone as high as 70 gal
lons a ton.
A 1000 ton a day plant will give
a production of 750 barrels of crude
Petroleum a day, one shale techno
logist says. The crude will cost $1
a barrel, f.o.b. plant. A daily net
of $562.60 of $198,875 a year is in
dicated.

MR. COTTON THINKS
HE HAS WEEVIL REMEDY
Says the Sanford Express:
“Mr. T.,„MvCrass hands The Ex
press a communication from Mr. A.
E. Cotton, which may provide a rem
edy for the boll weevil. Mr. Cot
ton says that last summer he put
some cider in an open vessel and set
it out in the cotton patch so that
the heat from the, sun would turn it
to vinegar. In a day or two he
went to the cotton patch to look
after the cider or vinegar, and to
his surprise the whole top was cov
ered with boll weevils. It seems that
they became intoxicated on the cider
and fell in and were drowned.
Mr. Cotton suggests that as cider
is a scarce article in the fruit sea
son, let the farmers make a lot of
sweetened water by applying molas
ses, put some yeast cakes in to start
fermentation, put it in wide open
top vessels and distribute them abou
over the fields when the weevils first
start as a substitute for the cider.
Let the farmers keep this remedy
in mind and make a test of it next
summer.”
DID THEY HAVE LICENSE
TO KILL CHATHAM RABBITS
The Sanford Express tells the fol
lowing:
“It has been said that rabbits are
so thick in Chatham county that one
can cut a tree in the woods at this
season of the year and some times
kill from three to four. Mr. Chas.
Riddle, of this place, who joined a
party of hunters and spent a day
hunting in that county last week, is
tempted to believe that this is true.
Thev spent three and one-half hours
in the woods and killed eight squir
rels and eighteen rabbits. They
caught a number of rabbits alive,
closed the doors and turned them
loose in the car and drove home
with the rabbits as passengers. The
new game law prohibits people from
selling rabbits outside the county
in which they are killed. It is fear
ed that uV.ess this law is so modi
fied as not to include Chatham, the
rabbits will become so thick in that
county that the farmers will be un
able to raise crops and have to leave.
For the past few years big revenue
has been realized by the sales of
Chatham county rabbits on the Ra
leigh, Richmond and other markets.”
MRS. BURNS DEAD
Mrs. Anna J. Burns, a former res
ident of this county, died at the
home of her son, Ira Burns in Hope
well, Va., January 14. The body

Burns.
The deceased was the widow of
W. M. Burns, who has been dead
several years. She was about sev
enty years of age and was a most
estimable woman. For many years

Washington Letter
A Review of Events at the
Capital City During the Past
Week—President in Hav
ana—Women Meet in Wash
ington.
By WILLIAM P. HELM, Jr.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Having
spent the Christmas holidays in live
ly political skirmishing, Washington
is now in the relatively tame and
piping- days of peace. It is in the
air, peace of almost evrey kind, a
hang-over, maybe, from the season
of goodwill to men. Certainly, the
capital is redolent of kindliness and
fellowship, save for exceptions here
and there tha tstand out conspicu
ously to prove the rule.
Three thousand or more women
from the four corners of the Union
are meeting- here this week. They
'come from a dozen or more nationa.
associations and claim to represent
10,000,000 of their sisters. They
are talking peace, discussing ways
to prevent war, delving into foreign
policies, hopes, aspirations and jeal
ousies. This is the third year they
have met here in open forum and
they are making their impression on
those who legislate for peace or war
and those who carry out the na
tion’s politics.
Sir Esme Howard, Britain’s ami
able ambassador, told American en
gineers that England wanted noth
ing- so much as peace with the United
States ahd intended to have it, “de
spite fiery generals, peppery admi
rals. and jing journalists.” Unfor
fortunately, his 14 year old son had
figured at the wheel of dad’s car, in
a distressing automobile accident the
j day before, the victim being a
schoolgirl, who probably will recov-
I er.
1 The Democratic brand of peace
: was dispensed at the Jackson Day
love feast and in the selection of a
preserving peace was outlined by
convention city. The navy’s idea of
Secretary Wilbur in cross-examina
tion before a House committee. Mr.
Wilbur said that the proposed $275,-
000,000 navy building program was
essential if the navy were to pro
tect trade routes of American over
seas commerce. Even at that, some
of it would not be fully protected,
he said.
Another move for continued peace
and good will in the Americas is
seen in the Coolidge trip to Havana
to meet with New World neighbors.
In congress the House got down to
its stride and passed some of the
bi ff money bills for next year’s gov
ernment expenses. The Senate, how
ever, was not so peaceful. It fought
and wrangled over Senator Monas
ter's move to reduce the tariff so
as to increase the buying power of
| the farmer’3 dollars. Also, it touch
ed off the Smith-Vaire fight again,
and Mr. Smith of Illinois, who was
denied the oath of office, told his
investigators that, no matter what
they might do about unseating a
Senator they were denying Illinois
her constitutional right by refusing
to let one of her Senators take his
seat.
There was a bit of difference, too,
between the Senate and the Presi
dent over the merchant marine pol
icy, a committee of the upper House
taking sharp issue with the Presi
dent’s policy of private control and
operation. In the mdist of it, the
President asked congress to aporo
uriate for a monument at Kitty
Hawk, N. C., to the American pion
eers of the air. It was there that
human flight was first shown to be
practicable.
By July 1, next, the aeronautic
board told the President, there will
be a total of 24,500 miles of air
transport lines in operation in the
United States. This means that the
American commeileial planes will
fly daily a distance equal to the
world’s circumference at its bulgiest
point.
The Federal Trade Commission
reported twice. First, it told con
gress that a one-pound loaf of bread
costs about 8 1-2 cents to lay down
on the cousumer’s dorstep and that
the farmer gets little over one cent
as his share and the baker 5 l-2c.
Next, it cheered the millions using
electrical equipment, from pumps to

VOLUME SO. NUMBER 18
WORK BEGUN AT
NEW GAME FARM
Game Reserve Near Asheboro
Will Be Stocked In The
Near Future
(Asheboro Courier)
Work was started Tuesday at the
State game farm on the county home
tract, two miles South of Asheboro,
on State Highway No. 70. First work
includes the digging- of ditches for
water mains and clearing sites for
location of the superintendent’s res
idence and for the coops which will
be used for game. Survey of the
tract leased by the county to the
State will be made today. After the
lines ot the lease have been estab
lished, work will be started in ear
nest on the farm.
, W. C. Grimes, member of the
board of coupty commissioners, and
H>r years manager of Tip Top Lodge
and game farm, near Jackson Creek,
has been selected superintendent of
the State game farm, and will take
active of the project on Mar.
+ Lod & e > which belongs
r * of Philadelphia,
will be continued as a hunting- lodge,
brut it is probably that all the game
on the farm will be sold, perhaps to
the new State farm. Prior to tak
a£tlve ch arge of the State farm,
Mr. Grimes will render all the as
sistance possible in the laying out of
the grounds and superintending the
construction of coops and runs for
the game to be kept there. Mr.
Grimes is considered one of the most
successful game breeders in the
south. He has been in the business
several years and has been highly
successful in the propagation of wild
game at Tip Top game farm.
Stock Farm At Once
It is anticipated that game stock
lor the new state farm will begin
arriving here next week. In fact, a t
shipment of quail has been ordered
out and is expected to arrive one day
during the week. By the time the
shipment arrives it is hoped that
coops may be ready for their dispo
sition. And shortly afterwards con
struction. will be started on breeding
pens. It is the intention of the mem
bers oi the game commission to be
gin the breeding of quail and phea
sants at the farm this spring so that
there may be no delay in getting- re
sults from this new project.
~ TI L eO / fer to lease 100 acres of
;" ando lph county home tract to
the State for game propagation pur
poses was made to the Game Com
mission, of which E. D. Cranford, of
Asheboro, is a member, several weeks
ago. It was no't, however, until
January sth that the department,
under which the Game Commission
iunctions, that the Randolph offer
was accepted. And then the budget
was slashed to the extent of $5,000.
But the Game Commission is con
front that it '•an get along even
with a reduced budget. The budget
approved for the stocking of the
farm and for the permanent improv
ments approximates $15,000. It is
estimated that SB,OOO a year will be
required to operate it.
It is probably that fancy breeds
of pheasants will be raised for the
purpose of sale, while the most com
mon breeds of pheasants, quail and
turkeys will be bred for restocking
purposes in all parts of the State.
COMMANDER LONDON
ATTENDS THE PARLEY
Raleigh Naval Officer Is Assigned
As Naval Aide For The Presi
dent at Havana, Cuba
(News and Observer)
Henry M. London, legislative ref
erence librarian, has been advised
that his brother, Commander John
J. London, formerly of Pittsboro,
has received orders from the Navy
Department to proceed from Atlan
ta to Havana, Cuba, to report to
the American Ambassador for tem
porary duty as naval aide during the
visit of President Coolidge at the
Pan-American Congress at Havana
January 15-18, For the past year

been commandant of the R. 0. T.
C. naval unit at Georgia Tech, At- •
lanta. During- the first part of the
Wilson administration he was naval
aide to the President, being at the

THREE LADS SEIZE A CAR AND
SCOOT
Three Sanford lads, 13 years of
age, played hooky from school Mon
day afternoon; took charge of a
Chevrolet sedan left by the side of
Hie road, and set forth on a journey.
The journey was interrupted at Pitts
boro ,by Officer Johnson, upon in
formation from Sanford of the theft
and flight northward. Officers from
Sanford came for the lads and the
car. The boys cannot be tried in
regular court for this offense, but
are under the jurisdiction of the
clerk of court of Lee countv, acting
as juvenile judge. Well, if it would
do any good, we would tell vou the
names of the lads. But, maybe, they
will make real men yet.
