some offers have been made for crops
at thirty cents, while many are re-

five cents per pound. The farmers

COAL SITUATION UNCHANGED.

The coal situation in Paris re-
mains evry much the same as last
reported-very little coal in the
yards, and no prospect of replen-
ishing stocks under the existing
order of things at the mines. There
is a good demand for coal in both
large and small quantities, but the
dealers will not be able to supply in
large quantities very long.
A Paris travelling man, who makes
the territory surrounding Williams
burg and in the vicinity of the Jel-
lico mines, stated to THE NEWS
man Wednesday night that while in
that part of the country short
time ago he had talk in a country
store with a man who is interested
in the coal mining business near
Jellico. When asked as to the stu
alton the mine-owner replied:
"Well, don't believe there is any
prospect for a decline in price and
there is no telling just how long
this strike is going to continue. You
see most of these mines are. on spurs
of the railroads and the mines own
the spurs. The Government can fix
the price of coal at the mines, but
the operators can get partly even by
making larger charges for hauling
the coal to the railroads. This is
simply case of whipping the devil
around the stump but it may work
all right for a WHILE"
Maj E. S. Helburn, member OF
the Third District Exemption Board
and a prominent coal operator in
the Kentucky-Tennessee district
where 1900 miners are now on
strike, makes the assertion that
German agencies are behind the
strike movement, and that if htese
agitators were hunted out and dealt
with severely the men would return
to work kilograms have been sent
to President Wilson, Secretary oi
Labor Wilson and all the Kentucky
Congressman appealing for aid and
relief.
The Kentucky Utilities Company
at Lexington, which furnishes light
and power for Paris and other Ken
lucky towns, regards the situation
as very serious. Two carloads o.
coal consigned to the Lexington
Brick Company have been take1
over by the Louisville & Nashville
railroad. Relief is promised by thu
chesapeake & Ohio road by ship
ments over their lines for this week
