The Collyer Advance has launched
a boom for R. .Tague and Will
Lorimer as west side candidates for
the nomination for representative, one
as a democrat and the other as a
republican. They are both good fell
lows and well liked by Wa-Keeney
people but why swap horses in the
middle of the stream? One term in

entative where .he can be of some ben
eft to the county and the longer he
is in the more useful he is Mr.. Kline,
the present representative, has had

We can't help believing that Broth
er Bingham Is sort of wasting his
sympathy, for our readers will re-
member that Kline did not have any
conscientious scrUpples about butt
ing in on Mr.. Cooks second term in
. the legislature, so if it was alright
for him to try and defeat Mr.. Cook
when he had served only one term
why isn't it alright for William
Lorimer to do the same thing with
Kline if he is so inclined. This
will be the third time Kline has run
and we see no reason why the rest
of the boys should hesitate if they

THE BAPTIST COLIN"

The young peoples society held
gether" meeting at the parsonage on
Friday evening. The time was spent
in transacting the business of the

common to such gatherings. Older
folks enjoyed themselves as well as
young; and the constant flow of con-
versation was punctuated by loud
peals of laughter as some joke was
sprung on some unsuspecting victim.
A general good time was had, but we
hope the next meeting will be still
more interesting and helpful.

Whereas the government has called OF

No Dealers Allowed to Sell Coal Un- less They Have Secured Proper
 Application Blanks
OF BIRMINGHAM. ALA. STATEMENT MARCH 4. 1918
 ESOVfnCVyG

No coal dealers in Jefferson county will be allowed to sell coal after tomor- row unless they have secured the appli- cation blanks required according to the new regulations of the United States fuel administration.
 These blanks have been made and deal- CTS can get same by calling at the local office of the Jefferson county fuel ad- ministration board, 334 Brown-Marx building, and paying the fee charged for having them printed.
 Under the new regulations any con sumer wishing to buy his supply of coal for next winter must make application, stating the annual amount of his re- quirements, nature of the demand. size of residence to be heated and other par ticulars regarding the use of coal. Should an applicant for coal secure his supply and this would not be sufficient for the entire winter, it is necessary to get a permit from the local board before addi- tional coal can be bought This method has been adopted by the government to prevent the hoarding of coal.
 Each dealer will be required to file a report with the local fuel board on the first of each month showing to whom he has sold coal, amounts and price paid, and this record will be kept so any in formation wanted by the government can be obtained without delay.

 AND HONOR FLAG
Pell City Subscribes More Than Quota and Wires MT. McAdOO to Make
 Good Promise

St. Clair county and Pell city, located in St Clair county, have subscribed their quota of Liberty Bonds of the third is- sue, according to a message received in Birmingham last night from McLane Til ton.
 The quota for Pell City was $l2,000 and they subscribed tl5,000 and mailed a check to the federal reserve bank in At lanta for the bonds before the drive was started, and immediately claimed the honor flag as the first town in the United States to secure it's quota. and in a wire to the Secretary of the Treasury called upon him to come to Pell City and pre- sent the flag, according to the terms of his offer. It is claimed, however, by local citizens that such action is not per- missble, in view of the fact that the drive has not been inaugurated as yet.
 The subscriptions in Pell City were made through the Union State bank, which bank forwarded the check to the federal reserve board. Chairman Fred M Jackson of the Birmingham zone. of which St. Clair county is one of the 10 counties, spoke in Pell City yesterday, and the action of the Pell City commit- tee was announced following his speech
