he burning of amber for fuel by^tho Pru
lativss on the shores of tbo Black sek^it lilii
b supposed the material was a variety of doc
ignite, and not amber as reported. and
Coal was probably used in Cbing as <]
fuel long before it was known in itho ?
western world. About the middle oC the
5 thirteenth century a Venetian traveler UQa'

he following account: >t

The ancient Britons made use of coal 1
to a certain extent. Stone hammers liar
have been found in cool cropping^, and nee!

way, can bo spent on tho lunatics in
this State unless there bo some change

The Governor is especially cmplwyjc
in bis remarks concerning the railroad
commission, and in the recommendation
that tho law be changed so as to
'require railroads within South Carolina
to regulate their rctos of frieght within
