Sounds to me like you are generating the wrong sort of graph.
Try an XY (scatter or line) plot instead of a column plot.
Try to read TFM and understand the difference between a
CATEGORY axis and a VALUE axis.
Good Luck.

If you select these two columns and then select file, new, chart from the
menu you will get a question asking if the first coulumn is catagory labels,
the first data series, or x-axis values.  If you select catagory labels you 
will get the chart you are getting.  If, however you select x-axis values,
you will get an x-y plot and not a line plot.  This will make the distance
between the values on the x- axis relative to their numerical value.
