ALAbAMA'S COAL
 PRODUCTION IS 7O
 PER CENT NORMAL
Privileged Prices Blamed for Adverse Affect on Coal Industry of
 the State
By Assseiatea Press

Washington, September 12.-Alabama' S coal industry is being adversely affected largely because of the privileged prices. according to bureau of mines engineers, who report that states production only about Q per cent of a prevailing normal with mines running about 70 per cent of possible time capacity. Coal pro- duoers claim their present high mining costs will not warrant reduction in sel1- ing prices. As a result it is said Ala nama mines have lost about 1000 900 tons this year in railroad contracts, which have been placed in Tennessee and Ken lucky. Mexican fuel oil also is said to be making serious inroads on the south- ern markets for Alabama coal substitu- tion. as it can be sold at gulf ports much cheaper than coal.
 Reasons assigned for underproduction are chiefly that there is no market ee- inand. Very little local buying for do- nestle household use has taken place, according to the bureau of mines, which says it is largely because of the pre- vailing high prices, which are at the same levels or a little higher than the figures fixed by the fuel adminstra ton.

 Because there were few members of
 the house present Representative Baker
 of DeKalb county on Friday asked the
 house committee to postpone considera-
 tion of his measure relating to the , election of county superintendents of education in all Alabama counties. MT. Baker desired to have full attendance when the bill was taken up. This bill conflicts with the general education
 code, which provides for the selection of the superintendents by the county 1 boards of education, who are elected by the people.
 Under bill approved by the com
 mittee persons who have practiced den- tistry or dental surgery in Alabama may be issued certificate, provided he or she has practiced for a period of 20 years in the same county. This bill eliminates the necessity of an examina- | ton. It takes care of a large number
 of persons who were forced to suspend business because of being unable to pass strict state laws.
 At 4:30 o'clock the committee ad- 1 journed to meet at 10 o'clock next Mon day morning in regular session. During the afternoon there was bare | ly a quorum of the committee present, 1 but at the morning session the roll | call on the Parker bill, which would

Weekly Cotton Review
By Assoeiat.d Pros,

New York, September 12.-After mak- ing new low prices during the earlier part of the past week the cotton market rallied on apprehensions of damage from
 the storm which was still in the gulf at the close of business tonight. Decem-
 Der contracts. which had sold at 2Sc on
 Monday, rallied to 29.46c, but the bulk
 of the buying was attributed to cover ing, and the improvement was not fully
 maintained. The failure of the storm threat to create more active or gen. eral demand has been regarded by local brokers as indicating a continued bear ish average of sentiment based on the approach of the new crop movement and comparatively restricted trade de- mand.
 According to the report of the census bureau, ginning prior to September 1 amounted to only 13S, ,933 bales, or the smallest on record, but it is believed that picking is now making more rapid prog ress. and there were reports early in the week of increased spot offerings at declining prices. There was also scat tered southern selling here, which sug- gested hedging. but offerings of this sort were less in evidence after the decline of
 over cents per pound from the high levels reached toward the end of last
 month. It seemed. too. that speculative
 short interest had accumulated. and
 when news was received of tropical
 storm off the Bahamas covering became active. Few traders seemed disposed to carry speculative short contracts over
 the Wednesday adjournment while the
 weather was uncertain. and the highest
 prices of the week were touched before the close on Tuesday, Since then fluc-
 tuations have been very irregular. with selling restricted by the progress of the storm toward the Texas coast. but with recent buyers, showing a disposition to take profits on advances. while there has been considerable selling for Liver pool account.
 The irregularity of foreign exchange has tended to discourage buyers, and ex- cept for the storm news traders have shown more disposition to study the dc- mand outlook than. the. crop prospect A private crop report issued today made the mid-month condition 566. which would suggest a slight falling off in the promise as compared with end of Au- gust figures, and southern growers are reported to be orsagizng to prrtecs prices. < s

PHOENIX MAN WRITES. OF PETA|N'S ENTRY. INTO STRASsBURG.

Following is a short letter from Lieu tenant Harry L. Kerr written to his mother in this city which will be read with interest by his many friends:
 France, Nov. 27, 1918. Dearest Mother:
 Well it is all over and the U. S. has won the praise of the entire world. IL is, indeed. privilege to be here where the most momentous events in history are"taking place.
 On the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, the time the armistice went into effect. I was at little will lage, near the front lines called Azer- allies and the church bell which had not sounded for over four years, rang out it's merry peal for over an hour. My friend and l. being attached to the French army, were the only Americans in the village. With champagne, with the French officers, we drank toast after toast to first France then Amer ica until we didn't know whether the war was over or not and didn't care much. That is the principal inconven- fence in being with the French army One must drink wine with every meal, but it is very mild and I believe it keeps ones stomach and intestinal or gans in good condition.
 | I was assigned to the French army as an artillery balloon observer and it was very interesting at first but it gets tiresome not being able to talk their language very well But I have had far more wonderful experiences with them than I would have had with the 1 American army.
 Day before yesterday I witnessed the most wonderful of all events, the entry of Marshal Petain into Strassburg. Il is indeed a beautiful city and Alsace- Lorraine is the prettiest part of the country I have been yet. France is

Arizona would prove one of the states greatest assets. The federal govern ment is prepared, under certain condi- tions, to expend s900000 in this state during the coming year, and a large amount of state and county funds will also be expended in road construction, In order to get the best results with the least expenditure of funds, serving ef- fectively all portions of the state, the most careful coordination of road building plans must be secured.
 Realizing the vital importance of this matter, and representing all counties of the state, we have joined in call for a Good Roads Conference to be hela at Phoenix, Arizona, on Monday, Jan uary 27th at 10:00 A. M. at the Wa. Work building, Room 31, when repre- sentatives of all boards of supervisors 5, cities, commercial and other organiza- tions, managers of bureaus for returned soldiers and sailors, and all others in terested in the cause of good roads, can meet and outline recommendations.
 We urgently request that every sec tion of the state be fully represented Boards of supervisors and mayors of cities are entitled to appoint delegates each commercial and other organiza- tion are entitled to , delegates each The purpose being to make of this con- vention a thoroughly statewide body representing all interests in Arizona.
 Will you kindly give this matter your early attention, and notify the secre- tary of the Good Roads Association the names of the delegates whom you may appoint.
