OBITUARY

Rev Adam Clark Peters. COM
monty called Clark Retersy whose
death at Burrvllle' on May
the 3lst, has already been an.
nounced, was preacher in the M.
E. Chuch during almost all his life.
A large part of the Older genera
tion of people in the counties of
Morgan, Roane, Rhea,. Bledsoe,
Cumberland, Fentress and Scott
knew Clark Peters. He was an
old fashioned circuit rider and such
trips as to leave home early in the
morning preach at Bledsoe stand
at IL o'clock, 60 to Crossvilie and
preach at night. The next day
ride on to Pikeville,and preach at
Stoney Point on his way was COM
mon with him. There is scarcely
school house or church in the
above named counties where he
did not at some time preach.
The old people remember,7it and
often tell of what big meetings they
had and some things that Clark
Peters said. He went where they
wanted to hear the gospel and they
heard and received it gladly.
His first work after joining tie
conference in 1872 was on the
Crossville Circuit which included a
large territory round about. The
first year there were ITO conver'
sions on his work and he received
$1l0 compensation.
while on this work he went to
the home of Wash Brown of Cum
berland County, one cold evening
and went out and helped young
Sam bring in wood and make
fire in the old fi"e place, which was
no small job; this caught the young
fellow and Sam Brown, now Judge
Brown of Athens, Tenn, has al
ways loved Clark Peters.
One of his favorlte themes was
the beauty and joy of a full heart
compared with the blightlng effects
of sin.
He had friends by the thousands
among all the people regardless of
church or political affiliations, and
in the vigor of his life he did more
travelling and preaching and reach
ed more people than two or three
preachers do now.
1t was principally through his
efforts that a splendid church build
ING was erected at Burrvil1e several
wears ago and the large and sub
stantial building of the A B Wright
Institute ct Burrville stands as
monument of his energy and in
dustry in travelling and securing
contributions to assist in the erec-
tion of the same.

Relief for Coal
Shortage Pledged
Fuel Chief Will Act
Promptly on Emer-
gency Calls

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Fuel
Administration announced tonight
that prompt consideration will be
given to emergency calls for coal in
districts where there is a shortage. In
this connection figures were given TO
show that New England, New York
City and Philadelphia received more
anthracite during the first eight
months this year than in the CORE
spending period last year.
New York received 12,666,650 tons
last year and 13,912,3s4 this year, a
gain of l.245,7S4 tons. The figures for
Philadelphia are 4,1s6,69S and 1927 1872
for 1916 and 1917, respectively, a gain
of 1924 tons. New England last
year got S.4SS,242 tons by rail and
2.35l 1916 by barge, total of 5,9O.23
tons. This year the figures are 4,l95,-
575 by rail and 2.26O,366 by barge, a
total Of 6.455,94l tons, showing a gam
Of 665, 704 tons.
In only one case among the cities
named is there loss. Buffalo and
Erie. taken together. got 4,346,9l7 tons
last year and 4.26S002 this year. This
is attributed TO the cold, late spring
which permitted little or no coal 10 be
carried over and TO the Fuel Admin
istration's policy to ship coal past the
lake ports TO the needy Northwest be-
fore the close Of navigation. The de-
fciencv will be made up later.

Many Shippers Ruined
As the meaning of this revolutionary
departure has permeated shipping cir

has resulted in some quarters. In
some cases the Shipping Boards action
in virtually taking possession of the
ships spells ruin. Men just on the
verge Of making a fortune are now
bankrupt. and the great anticipations Of
others will come down from almost
certain fortunes to be made from single
voyages to 81 a fair profit

illustrations: One bold man has staked
his LIES savings on an old hulk re-

He secured financial cooperation from
another brave adventurer and loan

rom the first cargo were pledged. In
round figures that voyage gave every
promise Of a gross return OF 100000.
Now comes the Shipping Board and

will yield only 100000 for the trip.
This man, instead of being well started
in the shipping business, with all his
liability discharged from the proceeds
of the first cargo, now finds himself
| ruined. In view of the extraordinary
rapidity Of expansion in the shipping
business recently there are doubtless
