HELP RELIEVE FUEL
SHORTAGE Of CITY
FIVE WAGONS HAULING WOOD
FROM LUTHER THOMAS PLACE
TO EMERGENCY WOOD YARD.
one CAR COAL RECEIVED
Is Being Sold First to Those Who Send
For it--Supply Exhausted Before
Noon-situation Being Handled
With Comparatively Little Suffering

County workhouse wagons and pris-
oners today were set to work to help
relieve the fuel shortage In Colum-
bia. Five OF the workhouse wagons
are hauling wood from the. Luther
Thomas place to the Emergency Wood
Yard. 1t was the purpose of Work
house Superintendent John T. Akin to
put force of prisoners to work cut
ting wood today, but the weather was
to severe to risk it and they will not
be engaged in that work until there Is
some moderation and the snow melts.
Although one car of coal was re-
ceiyed by a dealer last night it was
exausted by II o'clock this morning.
1t is not known when another car
will be received, but the hope Is that
one will be secured from day to day to
meet the most pressing demands. The
dealers have adopted the policy OF
selling coal to persons who send wag.
ons for it first and to fill their other
orders as they come to them, Con
lsequently, there was long string OF
small wagons and other vehicles lined
up at the Dale Bros. yard, the only
place where a car had been received
today, and before noon the supply
was exhausted.
The Tennessee Orphan Home and
the Columbia Water and Light Co. also
received car OF coal each, but mons
of this could be spared for distribu
ton to domestic users, they having
priority over such deliveries.
! County Fuel Administrator w. F
Anderson said this morning that ht
believed all Of the most urgent dem
lands for coal are being met and tina
there is comparatively little sufferin,
among the people other than thos,
who are actually poverty stricken.

Home, that he would return to CO.

by the grand jury of the last term OF

Numerous kilograms have been sent

time IL was thought that Boaz had

but when the officers began = search
for him 1t was said that he had made
his escape with the assistance OF

General Fleming has stoutly denied
and resented an intimation that no
effort Is being made to locate the
missing man or to serve the indict-
ment papers on him. The attorney
general it Is said, has made every
possible effort to locate Boaz for the
purpose of having him legally return
Cd to the state, but his efforts have
been futile.
It ID understood that Boaz was in-
dieted by the last session Of the grand
jury on five counts. and although it is
not known what specific charges were
made. 1t has beon said by those in a
position to know that the indictments
