RECEIVED DENIED
LOCAL DEALERS STILL WITHOUT
STOCKS, AND SITUATION GROW
ING MORE ACUTE EACH DAY.

This morning there was wide
spread report that a shipment Of coal
had reached Americus, and that the
famine had been ended Investiga-
ton, however, proved the report with
out foundation.
Harold Bros were said to have re-
ceived shipment, but stated to The
Trnes- Recorder that they had nothing
bu dust" coal, and other dealers re-
ported the same condition in their
yarCs.
The report that coal supply had
been received probably grew out OF
q telephone conversation in which one
dealer told an axious consumer that
he had nothing but dust" coal This
was interpreted by the consumer as
best" coal, and within a short time
the telephones got buy ordering coal.
Coal Administrator Lee Allen, asked
concerning the situation, told The
Recorder that an emergency
shipment of Jellico coal ordered to
Americus through the instrumentality
of the fuel administrator was not ex-
pected to arrive until Tuesday or We'd
nesday at the earliest. When this
coal arrives, according to the informa-
ton given Mr. Allen by DR. Hardman,.
be state administrator, the price Of
nsel here will experience a slump.

concerns Contract" coal. or coal ship

TWENTY CORDS OF WOOD, AND
SEVERAL TONS OF COAL INSURE
STUDENTS AT THIRD DISTRICT
COLLEGE AGAINST DISCOMFORT.

The Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical College is one of Ameri-
Gus institutions which has solved its
fuel problem.
There is now on hand at the college
a total of twenty cords of wood, all
well seasoned and cut in convenient
lengths ready for use either in kitchen
or dormitories. In addition, the col
lege authorities have on hand now
several tons of coal, quantity deem
ed sufficient to tide the institution past
the present emergency, and insure
the students against illness as the re-
suit of the cold.
The college authorities are especial
ly interested in protecting the health
Of the students there, and with this
end in view President Collum ordered
that the institution remain closed a
week longer than usual at Christmas,
in order that full supplies of coal and
wood might be hauled to the college
bins.
In order to protect the institution
against any possibility of shortage
before the end of the session the au-
thorities there have entered into con-
tract with the Paris Coal Company,
which operates it's own coal mine in
Alabama, for the purchase of sufficient
coal to supply their needs. This coal,
il is believed, will be delivered III
Americus in ample time to prevent
further worry on the part of college
officials, which will be most welcome
news to students and their parents,
as we'll as others interested in the
Americas college.
