Trust TO Control West Virginia Goal.
Bio Fields Purchased and Options
Taken on Balance OF Mines.

Roanoke, Va, Sept. l1.-West Vlr-
ginia is on the eve of one Of the big
gest coal deals the United States has
ever seen. Sometime ago the initial
move was made by the purchase of all
the coal operations on Kanawha river.
1t is said J P. Morgan was behind it.
and that the drafts for the purchase
money bore his signature.
Hardly had that deal been consum-
mated before it was announced that
the Flat Top field had been purchased
bv the same or allied interests at the
fabulous price of s13, 900. Today
all the New River territory is agog.
Messrs. Chiffon, McCorkle & Chiffon,
representing New York capital, have
for the past week been quietly at work
and it now turns out that there is not
a coal operation in New River on
which there is not a twenty day option
of purchase.
Immense prices are being offered
and those who are not anxious to sell
are being practically forced to dispose
of their property by the unprecedented
profits rendered.
Whether or not the purchase will be
made will probably be definitely set
tied tomorrow as at that time present
options will expire and it will require
a deposit of $50, 900 to renew.
The sentiment along New River IS
varied. 1t is recognized that such a
consolidation will largely affect coal
interests and that no doubt many
mines will be closed in order to pre-
sreve the West Virginia coal supply
and to push up the price of coal that
the dividends may compensate for the

The Newberry Postomce.

Newberry, Sept. 12.-News was at
first hard to obtain as to the trouble
in the postoffice here and your CORES
pondent has just obtained possession
of all the information obtainable. The
postmaster, W. Y. Fair, has been re-
moved and S. L. Bynum, agent for the
bondsmen, has been appointed tempo
rary postmaster. Mr.. Fair has been
arrested for embezzlement and failure
to deposit funds according to regula-
tions, and has given bond in the sum
of five hundred dollars for his appear
ance at court. The affair is a COM
plete shock and surprise to Newberry,
and it is to be hoped that the matter
can be satisfactorily explained and ac-
counted for. Tomorrow the Herald
and News will publish a card from Mr..
Fair emphatically denying that he IS
short any amount with the govern

Postmaster Fair Has Been Arrested.
Charged With Using the Govern
ment Funds.
ACTION A SHOCK TO HEwBERRY'

1t was reported in Columbia yester-
day that something had gone wrong
with the postofice at Newberry. a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Chattanooga stated that Mr.. William
F. Fair, the postmaster. had been ar
rested for embezzlement.
The news was in part confirmed by
passengers on the midnight train.
They stated that while Mr.. Fair was
not under arrest, apparently, yet he
was no longer connected with the
postoffice.
It seems that even in Newberry the
details are not known and the matter
is somewhat of mystery to the public
there, but the story current is that Mr..
Fair was short in his accounts and
was checked up UNEXPECTEDLY Monday.
The matter was deplored by all who
know Mr.. Fair. He is of a highly re-
spected family and brother-in-law of
Hon. Y. J. Pope, senior associate JUS
tice of the State supreme court. Mr..
Fair has been postmaster for over
three years and is aligned with the
Republican party, although he has an
inclination toward Commercial
Democracy.
Mr.. F. L. Bynum, young lawyer
of Newberry, is temporarily in charge
of the postoffice.

Atlantic Coast Lumber company,
which operates large lumber and saw

SECRETARY GAGE WILL BUY BONDS
To Relieve the Pressing Demand
for Currency TO Move Crops.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The follow
ing announcement was made today at
the treasury department:
The secretary of the treasury hereby
gives notice that he will consider and
receive proposals for the sale to the
government, on account of the sinking
fund of United States 3 per cent,
bonds, loan of 190S-1916, 4 per cent,
bonds funded loan of 1907, 4 per cent.
bonds, loans of 1905, and per cent.
bonds, loan of 1904, to an amount not
exceeding twenty million dollars.
Proposals should be submitted to the
secretary by letter or telegraph, not
later than Thursday, the 18th instant :
any bonds accepted to be promptly de-
livered at the United States treasury
at Washington, or the sub-treasury, IN
New York.
The right to reject any or all propo-
sails is expressly reserved.
(Signed) L. J: Gage,
Secretary.
The secretary also has directed that
internal revenue receipts be deposited
with national bank depositaries up to
the par value of all bonds deposited,
including the per cent. bonds.
Commenting.upo the offer made IN
his circular, secretary Gage said that
the active movement of crops had be-
gun throughout the country, and he
did not desire that the treasury should
absorb millions of dollars that might
be in trade channels. The sub-treas-
uries in the west and south have been
calling heavily for currency to move
the crops, and the amount sent so far
is in excess of any year in the history
of the treasry.
The placing of additional money
with the national bank depositaries
Will divert about s., 600, 600, from the
treasury vaults and put it in circula-
ton. At the SAME time, the purchase
of $40. ooQ,0 900 in bonds would be a de-
cided relief. The only question now is
whether the offers to the secretary
will be such as to induce him to pur-
chase the amount he desires. or any
sum at all. The tendency in offers
of this kind is to cause the prices Of
bonds to rise. Secretary Gage does
not intend to pay above what the
bonds are worth, and will make no
purchases if the offers indicate that
the market prices are to be raised.
