GINLESS DAYS LATEST ORDER
OF FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
Cotton Cannot Be Ginned in the
South Georgia District on Satur-
days and Mondays atsPresent.

Restrictions on the delivery of do
nestle lump coal by dealers have
been issued by L. G. Hartman, fed
eral fuel administrator for Georgia,
so that orders for more than eight
tons may be filled only to the extent
of % per cent. until further notice.
Orders for from four to eight tons
may be filled so per cent. and those
for four tons or less may be filled
completely.
The plan is to restrict delivery of
large orders until the small consum-
ers have been supplied with their
coal for winter use and when these
smaller orders have been filled then
the balance on the larger orders will
be taken care of.
"Ginless days" have also been in
augurated by DR.. Hardman, who has
ordered that the cotton gins of north
Georgia shall not operate on Mon
days nor Tuesdays; those of middle
Georgia are not to operate on Satur-
days or Mondays and the same days
are made "ginless" for the south
Georgia district.
DR.. Hardman's restrictions on the
use Of coal for ginneries is in line
with the other regulations that have
been and are being promulgated to
prevent serious coal shortages this
winter.
