COAL SHIPMENTS

Judging from the bituminous coal
shipments over three Ct the largest
coal carrying roads, the tonnage of
this grade Of coal during the year VIII
Lreak ali previous records, and 1910
wiI;probably b. put down as the BAN
ncr year in the production Of bltunin-
Gus coal. The railroads reporting for
January, SO far all show large lncreas.
es In comparison with the tonnage dur.
ing the same month of last year. The
increase on the Norfolk and Western
amounted to 1853 per cent, while the
Baltimore and Ohlo's Increase was 2B.3
per cent. and the increase of the Penn.
sylvania was 2o.3 per cent. II this rate
Of Increase continues during the year
1910 the tonnage will probably stand
as a record for,some time to come.

UNPRECEDENTED IS
RISE IN THE PRICE
OF IRISH POTATOES
TU5ERs QUOTED AT s1.fo PER
BusHEL-HIeHEsT PRICE
IN MANY YEARS.
The SUPPLY is VERi SHORT NOW
Northern States Slow in shipping Pro-
duct, While New Crop Here VIII
Not Amount to Very Much-0emand
Is Heavy-Dealers After Shipment.

Not in several years mas there been
such a remarkable rise in the price of
potatoes, and the cost of living
problem, instead of being solved, is
getting into a more tangled condi-
ton. The price as will be quoted in
few days, is $2.75 per bag. This
makes the price $11O per bushel, a
record price. There is very slight
supply, while the demand is still
heavy. In Nashville the price is al
ready s1.10 per bushei.
This is a rise from $1.65, the price
quoted about two weeks ago, and from
the price quoted yesterday, $2.25 per
bag.
The northern States are slow in
sending in their potatoes, and the new
crop will not amount 10 very much on
account of so much dry weather dur
ing the fall and late summer. 1t is
hard for local dealers to secure an
appreciable shipment of the tubers,
but they are now on track of a car
load, and it is thought that it will be
secured in day or two.
The record price per bag for pota-
toes was reached two years ago, when
they were quoted at $2.25. During the
week just passed the price reached
that amount in a very few days from
$165, and it's rapid rise since then
has been a matter of much comment
among wholesale produce dealers. 1t
is unprecedented

GREAT RECEPTION
PLANNED FOR CAPT.
HOOPER ON MONDAY
WILL BE INTRODUCED BY JOHN
LATTA, VETERAN OF TEN
PERANcE CAUSE.
AN EG.CONft ERAlE SOLDIER
Committee to Meet Candidate vii! Be
Announced in Day or SOTO Speak
at Grand Opera House at One
O'Clock.

Preparations are being made for a
great reception to Capt. Hooper, the
standard bearer of the forces of law
and order in this campaign, when he
speaks here on next Monday. Capt.
Hooper will speak at the opera house
at o'clock, the use of that building
having been generously rendered by
VIM. Barker, the lessee and manager.
Within the next day or two the re-
|ception committee will be announced
This committee will consist of lead
ing Democrats and Republicans OF the
county and prominent in the list will
be old Confederate soldiers. 1t Is es-
timated that from sixty to seventy per
cent of the old veterans will be found
in line for the temperance cause IN
the coming campaign.
Capt. Hooper will be introduced
here by John Latta, who all of his
life has been fighting the battle that
the gallant young leader is waging at
this time. Mr. Latta was soldier of
the confederacy having served when
a mere boy. He has been Mayor and
city marshal of Columbia, having serv-
ed in the latter position for more than
a quarter of century 1t is a fitting
selection that he should be named to
present Capt. Hooper to this people
for his very life is guarantee OF his
devotion to the cause of law and order
and temperance.
A large committee will meet Capt
Hooper at the station when he arrives
and in this committe will be number
of old soldiers. Next Mondays meet
ing it is confidently believed, will DEM
onstrate to the world that Old Maui
ry is standing for the great princi-
pies which triumphed in August last
and for which her martyred son. Ed
ward w. Carmack, poured out his
LIES blood. 1t will be a great day for
Democracy but a greater one for pa
triotism and civic righteousness.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The White
Cross Society, an organization devoted
to pure food, has started a national
campaign which has for it's object
the elimination of French from bills
of fare in restaurants and hotels.
Nothing is more needed in the
United States than an Americaniza-
ton of the menu cards. says the So
ciety's announcement. "All of us do
not read French, but all Of US dine.
Americans are entitled to the rrivi-
lege of ordering their dinners In En-
glish. 1t Is not only the unlettcred
who go astray. Persons thoroughly
familiar with French have trouble
with the French that is written by
chefs. 1t is arbitrary. filed with idi-
oms and generally SO complicated that
it has been found necessary to publish
a glossary for the benefit of the chefs
themselves in order that they may
know what they are writing about"

SCENTED
BY DR.. BALLINGER
HUGE SENSATION SAID TO BE
BREWING IN ALASKA
LAND CASES.

SPOKANE, wash, Sept. 22.-The
Chronicle says today: An invesdga-
ton of suspected land frauds in Alas
ka which may exceed in scope and
startling developments the famous
Cunningham case, is believed to be in
progress, guided by Federal Officers
in the Northwest.
This investigation, which is said
to involve an entirely new group OF
claims in charges similar to those
brought against the Cunningham en-
tries, is believed to have been insti-
tuted and actively pushed by Secreta-
ry of the Interior Ballinger.
The list Of the entrymen involved Is
said to include many men of Dromi-
nence in Spokane as well as others
of national Importance.
Secretary Ballinger's recent visit to
