SUPPLY OF COAL IN
CITY is NOT LARGE.
Americas Has Sufficient For
Present.
CITY SCHOOLS NOT SUPPLIED
Though Order Placed Some Time
Ago-The Reservoir Has Plenty On
Hand Dealers Here Have Not Very
Large Stocks Now.

Americus has not as much to fear in
the event of coal famine as some of
the larger cities, though the supply
here at present is probably not as
large as usual at this season for the
reason that there is difficulty in getting
orders filled.
But many Georgia cities are afraid
of coal famine as a result of the min
ers strike in Alabama.
The price of soft coal has advanced
considerably in Atlanta, Savannah and
other cities of the state, and in some
instances the supply on hand is very
limited.
The Americas yards have a lfairly
good stock and, besides, have gorders
in for many carloads for early delivery.
Happily, however, a majority of citi-
zens here purchased ltheir supply for
the winter two months ago, and.s have
it in their coal bins already.
But there are many others here less
fortunate, and to these any rise in price
or scarcity of coal is a hardship.
Soft coal is now worth 81 so to So
per ton in Americas.
A month ago the city got a bargain
in shipment Of 10 or IA carloads OF
steam coal, and the waterworks sta
ton has a good supply. The gas and
electric light company has stock
sufficient for the present, and.will ¬
very likely run short at all.
But the public schools have not been
supplied as yet.
Orders for several carloads Gwere
placed some time ago and the. GOA
will probably arrive alright, though
it should be here now.
The miners strike in Alabama may
become general, in which event The
South would suffer as the North il
now doing. Coal will not be any
cheaper this year, or for long time
to come, and those citizens not rsup
piled had better "coal up" at once.
Firewood IS still plentiful abou
Americas, and in the event coal goeI
too high in price we can get back to {
lightwood knot basis and bid defiar CT
to the coal barons.

council from nine to II was reported

in the Federation of Labor convention
this morning. Delegate H. N. Randall,
of Birmingham, Ala, spoke strong
ly in favor of charging the number
for the reason that the south and
southwest were not represented on
the board, and he believed they were
entitled to it. Others spoke in favor
of it. The report of the committee
was adopted.
The report of the grievance commit
tee which was unfinished last night
was then taken up. It related to in
ternal affairs of local unions, and
for the most part it's sections were
approved without debate.

special order of the day for 10 o'clock,
and it was taken up at that hour.
Delegates James J.. Cremer, of the
machinists, nominated President
Samuel Gompers for reelection.
There were no other nominations,
and upon motion of w D. Ryan of
the mine workers, the secretary Of
the convention was instructed to cast
the unanimous vote of the convention
for Mr.. Gompers. This was done and
he was declared duly elected.
Owing to the applause that follow
ed, it was long before Mr.. Gompers
could make himself heard when he
rose to thank the delegates for the
honor bestowed upon him. He prom
Used to attempt as much for trade
unionism in the future as he had

For first vice president, James Dun
can was unanimously reelected. The
secretary was instructed to cast the
unanimous vote of the convention for
him. For second vice president Del
egate Driscoll nominated John Mitch
ell, who was also elected unanimous
ly.
The other officers were reelected
as follows: Third vice president, Jas.
O'Connell; fourth vice president,
Max Norris; fifth vice president.
Thomas 1. Kidd; sixth vice president,
Dennis A. Hayes; treasurer, John B.
Lennon; secretary, Frank Morrison.
For fraternal delegate to the next

were nominated. The former al
nounced that it would be impossible
for him to serve, and withdrew his
name. Hayes was then elected unan-
imously.

r ROBBERY.
Chicago Postoffice Short $4,000 by
the Theft Of Registered Mail.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Chicago
postofice was the victim Saturday Of
one of the most daring robberies that
has ever been perpetrated in this
city. Ten thousand dollars is said
to be the amount secured, and the
robber escaped without leaving any
trace as to his identity. Two mail
sacks containing money, which had
just been picked up from two of the
down town stations, were placed in
IN unprotected wagon in front of the
Masonic temple, while the mail car
rier went in to gather the mail that
had accumulated there. The carrier
had been gone only a moment, but
when he returned the horse and
wagon had disappeared. While the
carrier had been in the building, the
robber, who had evidently been wait
ing his opportunity, had jumped into
the rig and drove away. The street
was full of people at the time, but no
one seems to have noticed the thief
Two sacks were cut open and ri1ed
of their contents and were found nelr
Kirk road, fully a mile i.om the
scene. The horse and Zig were found
two miles further west, where the
robber had left them. The police and
federal authorities we've n cited less
than eight minutes after The robbery
occurred, but no trace of the 1obber
has been secured. Both meil bags
were full of registered mail. Post
Office officials are unable to state the
exact amount stolen, but estimate it
at fully $4,000.
