elected. The other contest was that
of county treasurer, which resulted
in the election of Mr.. J. L. Prince.
The latest figures obtainable from
the State ticket gave Mr.. Dial about
$4,000 and Mr.. Blease about $1,000.

"It is understood that Fuel Adj
ministrator Garfield has transmitted
the recommendation Of the National
Coal Association to President Wilson;
who now has it under consideration"
Based on Production Comparisons.
The Coal Production Committees
recommendation to the association
was:
Regardless of political affiliations
of the members of the association
and leaving out of consideration the
moral issues involved, and pasing its
opinion entirely on economic and pa
triotic grounds, the committee unan-
imously and unqualifedly believes
that national prohibition for the pc
riod of the war is absolutely neces
sary to make effective this or any
other plan for increased coal produc-
ton. A comparison oof the records of
production of mines in wet and dry
territories furnishes ample proof of
the need of prohibition. The various
instances cited to you need not be
repeated here, but. they typify the
experience of operators throughout
the entire country"

National Coal Association De.
clares National Prohibi-
ton Absolutely Nee
eSSafy.

The National Coal Association has
addressed to Fuel Administrator
Garfield an emphatic appeal for i'm
mediate war prohibition. We quote
from it at length:
Nationwide prohibition for the
period of the war is absolutely essen
tial, in the opinion of the National
Coal Association, representing blum
nous coal operators with an annual
production of nearly 400,O00,00O
tons. to make effective any plans for
speeding up the mines efficiently to
get the 100, 0OO,0 600 additional tons
of coal the country will need this
winter.
"a definite program for increased
coal production, placed formally be-
fore the United States fuel admins
tration as the best thought of the in
dustry, carries with it the recommen-
dation that nationwide prohibition
be put into effect at once. The coal
production committee of the Nation
al Association, which formulated the
program, also has addressed a letter
to each member of Congress advis-
ing him of the recommendation.
Booze or Coal?
SIN the opinion of the representa-
tive committee Of operators, which
comprises in it's membership deleg-
ates from virtually every large coal
producing field in the nation, the
country cannot have both booze and
sufficient coal this winter. Nor can
the country keep booze in the mining
sections and have enough coal later
on. The liquor traffic is curtailing
coal production and the time has
come to eliminate it if there is to be
the substantial increase in coal out
2pt the war program demands.
"This conclusion was reached un-
animously after thorough and pains
taking investigation by the commit
tee. The National Coal Association
is informed that the conclusion is not
only the Judgment of the operators
but it is concurred in by Frank Far
rington, president of the United Mine

Open Air Concert.

Saturday afternoon from S to 9
o'clock an open air concert was held
under the trees on S%weetwater
churchyard under the auspices OF
the Red Cross. The music was
supplied by the Jazz band of %
pieces from Camp Hancock. The
young men played a number of pa
t.iotic selections, their repertoire
being practically unlimited. Soon
after the several hundred people
assembled Rev. Harry Curtis, a Y.
NJ. G. A., secretary from Camp
Hancock, delivered an appropriate
address from a stand erected in
front of the church. MI. Curtis
was introduced by Mr.. ). L. Minis.
This gentleman has had a number
of years experience working among
soldiers, having spent some time
upon the Mexican border. Soon
after the address a bountiful lunch
con was served to the young SOL
diers on a long table under the
trees, good ladies of Sweetwater
sustaining their reputation for dis
pensing wholesouled b p l.
tality. The ladies sold ice
cream and a free will Offering was
taken for the Red Cross work, the
sum of about $3.50 being added to
the treasury of the Red Cross Ia
dies. The social feature of the oc-
casion was exceedingly pleasant.

A Practical, Helpful Address

Saturday last Mr.. T. D. Wood OF
Fountain Inn, the Field Agent Of
the War Labor Board, delivered a
strong, practical, helpful address,
having been invited by the local Ia
Dor board to be present. Mr.. W. T.
.Kinnaird, chairman of the local Ia
Dor 2resided over the meeting. After
making some very appropriate re-
marks. Hon. j. VIM. Thurmond IN
troduced Mr.. Wood. From the out
set he proved himself not only to be
a practical and very successful busl-
ness man but also one who is alto
cether familiar with the labor prob
lem.
Mr.. Wood stated that the govern
ment has undertaken to stabilize eV-
erv class of labor and that hereafter
the floating or removal of labor from
place to place will be prohibited.
The government wants 100 per cent
efficiency from labor and it is impos-
sible to obtain satisfactory results
unless those who work on farms and
upon other work apply themselves
six days in the week. He stated en-
phatically that this loafing in town
bv hundreds of people every Satur'
dav afternoon will be prohibited, and
that he will deal vigorously with ev'
cry case reported to him. Mr.. Wooc
said that the winning of the war de,
pends upon the labor of the country
and that everybody, white and col
ored, old and young, men and wom'
on. rich and poor will be forced to
engage in some necessary employ
ment. The man worth a million dol
lars will be made to work just a:
the man who is dependent upon hi:
daily earning. Women will be made
to work as we'll as men.
Persons who r now idle, living
on checks received from the govern
ment will be forced to work.
The address Of Mr.. Wood wa:
!! timely and effective. So well pleased
were the people who heard him tina
he was urged to return to Edgefelt
next Tuesday afternoon and speal
y again. He consented to come and de
sires white and colored, men ant
women of both races, to hear him
| Tell everybody with whom you NEE
' to come to Edgefield Tuesday after
!. noon to hear Mr.. Wood. 1t will b.
time well spent.
