A party in Marietta says if the Sea-

Marietta, he will agree to put up

is what competitive freight rates would
do for Marietta. Factories would
spring up from time to time, because
this would be better place for facto-
ries than Atlanta.
Judging from the large number of
applicants for rural delivery carriers,
whenever there are number of fifty

government there are regiment of
men ready to accept them; showing
that there are plenty of men in this
county willing to work, whether there
is work enough to do or not.

BARN BURNED.

About O'Clock Friday night the
alarm OF fire was sounded. The large
barn at the home of Mr. c. E. Hender-
son, on Washington avenue, was on fire
in the loft, where there was stored hay
and fodder. The blaze shot high and
illuminated the heavens, attracting a
large crowd to the scene. The two
horses, one mule and a COW, buggy and
carriage were gotten out. BY that
time the fire department began to pour
two streams of water on ard soon ex-
tinguished the flames, not however be-
fore the roof was burned off The loft
was full of hay and fodder and fed the
fire. The tiremen did excellent work
in saving the building. There were
several residences in close proximity in
danger, but the prompt and effective
work of the firemen prevented the
spread of the fire. 1t is not known how
the fire originated. Insurance $500.

JUDGE GOBER APPOINTED.

Governor A. d, Gambler, on last FIJI
day appointed Hon. George F. Gober,
Judge of the Blue Ridge circuit, to the
vacant seat on the bench of the Su-
preme Court caused by the resignation
of Associate Hal Lewis.
Judge Gober declined the appoint
ment and will remain Judge of the
Blue Ridge circuit.
This is high honor conferred upon
Judge Gober, and if he had accepted
the place, he would have filled it with
eminent ability and distinction. The
Superior Court needs just such man
as associate justice.
Judge Gober has had a phenomenal
career. He was the first honor grad
uate of the State University in the
class of seventy-five. He studied law
and was admitted and soon he became
potent factor in state politics. He
was Solicitor General of the Blue Ridge
circuit for eight years, and has been
Judge for the third term.
His success in life has been due to
brains, and persistent and undomitable
work. He IS u fine lawyer and would
have done good service to the State
on the Supreme bench.
Hon. Sam Adams has been appointed
by the Governor. The successor is to
be elected at the regular election, and
nomination to be made.

RESUMING WORK.
About 81 Per Cent. of Mines
in Operation.
Some Will Reach Full Output Today.
Others in Bad Shape.
Idea Of Cost Of Coal from Phila. &
Reading Statement.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct. 23.-Reports
from the entire anthracite region show
that about 81 per cent. of the mines
are in operation. today. The collieries
in the Lacka wanna region are in bet
ter shape for working than those in
any other part of the region. The
collieries in the Wyoming region with
a small output are in good shape, be-
ing free from gas and water. but the
large mines are still hampered by
water The same condition of affairs
exists in the Lehigh region.
In the Schuylkill region the large
mines are reported to be in better
condition for working than was ex-
pected.
All the mines in operation will be
short in their normal output, today,
but by tomorrow it is expected almost
the full output will be reached. After
such long spell Of idleness the
miners and laborers are soft" and not
capable Of doing as hard Il days work
as when they We're seasoned"
Representatives are coming in from
all over the mining region that many
engineers. firemen. pumpmen. carpen-
va stiu nave
get their places back. The old enl-
plcyes are faring better with the indi-
vidual companies than with the large
companies.
A delegation of carpenters made up
Of employees from many collieries in the
Wyoming region called at President
Mitchelrs headquarters, at noon, and
laid their grievances before him. They
said miners and laborers had no
trouble in getting work, but other en-
plOyes holding good paying positions
before they went out, generally found
their places filled with other men and
the superintendent said there would
be no change for the present. Mr..
Mitchell advised his callers to be pa
tiert and await developments.
There was no friction between the
union and non-union men when they
reported for work, this morning. A
number of old engineers. pumpmen ana
firenen again applied for their old po-
sitions. but were told that there were
no vacancies at present. Old employees
who have failed to get their places
back are reporting the fact to Presi-
dent Mitchell at strike headquarters.

Mr.. Devlin said that the result of the
Belfast elections, however. had served

Almost Immediately after beginning

THE PRICE OF COAL.
Some Idea Of What's Coming by Phila
& Readings Statement.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-In view of
the resumption of mining Of anthracite
coal the Philadelphia & Reading Rail-
road Co.. tonight. issued the following
statement:
The Philadelphia IL Reading Coal &
Iron Co. Presidents Office, Phila-
delphia. Oct. 90.
Mr.. C. e. Henderson, General Man
ager.
Dear Sir:-The reports of the super
intendents in charge of the mines
show that as result of the strike.
the mines and mining plants have sus-
tanned considerable injury and their
respective working organizations have
been impaired. For some time to come
the collieries cannot be worked to pro-
duce their average quantity of coal.
This will increase the cost of pro-
duction. Estimates have been sub
mitted showing the probable increase
in cost per ton at the several groups
Of collieries. The general average ex-
ceeds so cents per ton.
You will therefore add to the cir
cular price so cents per ton-this adj
ditional price to continue until the
first of January. 1908. by which time
we hope to reach normal conduction
Of mining and production.
Notwithstanding the fact, during the
strike, no coal was sold by our COM
pany at an advance over the circular
price, the price has been unreasonably
advanced to the public by some retail
dealers. In the distribution, of coal.
you will. 90 far as practicable supply
fn 70
public at reasonable prices. Where
dealers seek to obtain an unfair profit
from the public. you will promptly take
steps to supply the reasonable demands
OF the public directly.
Yours truly,
GEORGE F. BAER. President.
In pursuance OF instructions contain
ed in the above letter, circulars have
been issued. taking effect, Oct. "a.
An effort will De made to arrange the
distribution OF coal, so that parties in
need may at least receive small por-
ton OF their wants, and. with this pur-
pose in view. dealers will be reque sted
to restrict the amount which will. for
the present. be sold to any consumer
within these limits OF his reasonable
immediate requirements.
The opinion is expressed by Mr..
Henderson that the price for white ash.
egg, stove and chestnut ccal delivered
to householders in the city OF Phila-
delphia should not, in any case. exceed
1915.
Nancy of the dealers have already ex-
pressed a Willingness to comply with the
wishes Of the Reading Co. in this respect
and Mr. Henderson has no doubt that
practically all Of them will heed the re-
quest and charge only reasonable price
to the public. One Of the copies reads
as follows:
