that the Timanyoni dam had faulty

ALARMED BY SCARCITY
FARMERS LAY IN COAL

Whitwell, Tenn, Aug. 23.-
Never before have the farmers
and people generally anticipated
a shortage in coal supply so thoro-
ly as this summer. The result is
that full bins are the rule rather
than the exception. All this sum-
mer the farmers and available
wagons have put in all available
time hauling coal, and the work
steadily goes on. This is a wise
precaution outside of securing
the coal, which later may be an
almost impossible proposition,
since all roads are good now and
will remain so until che winter
rains set in.
