absolute refusal. The refusal came
from q person who had given only
$3.50 to the Y. M. C. A. The other
failures came from one or two per-
sons who had already given the
amounts due them to other causes.
I am so certain that we will handle
this part of the bargain that we are
going right ahead with our plans just
as though the whole deal had been
completed. 1t should not take more
than two more weeks to complete
this canvass. There will be no drive
for funds put on here as part of
the deal.
''It will probably be January l be-
fore we can move into the building
and start our work as we plan it, be-
cause there is certain amount of re-
modelling work to be done. However,
we want the people to feel from this
time forward that it is their build
ing and that they are free to use it
we want to make it really communi-
ty building. We want the clubs and
civic organizations to make use of
it from now on. If there are any
young mems organizations which
would like to have use of the gym,
they will be welcome to it and can

1t is understood that the property
is to be transferred to the Salvation
Army upon reimbursement to the
owners of the amount they paid for
it at receivers sale recently, slightly
more than $4,000. The transferred
donations are expected to supply al
least $4,000 of this amount, the Y
M. C. A. trustees have agreed to
transfer the sum remaining between
the purchase price and the debts
some $4,000 or $4,000, and Salvation
Army headquarters will supply the
balance, to be secured by a mortgage
upon the property.

Headquarters Accepts
Proposal ublic Urg-
ed To Use Structure

The Salvation Army today took
charge of the Y. M. G. A. building
as the Salvation Army home for Sum-
ter county and a community house.
Possession was turned over to Capts.
Knox and Guess, of the local corps,
by the owners, Drs. Prather, Glenn
and Grubbs, after official word had
been received from Salvation Army
headquarters at New York that the
proposal which had been made for
the acquisition of the building had
been accepted there, and only the
carrying out of the details remained
to complete the transaction.
At the same time, it was announc-
ed by Capt Knox, that the acquisi-
ton of the building was contingent
upon the successful completion of a
quiet canvass now going on for the
transfer to the Salvation Army of
the bulk of the funds to be distribu-
ted by the court to donors to the Y.
M. C. A. Building as a refund of
money given to the Y. M. C. A. in
1914. About $500 of this money
remains undistributed, and the local
corps must secure a transfer of at
least $4,000 to complete its agree
ment with headquarters.
But have no fear on that score, .
said Capt. Knox today. 81 have
enough faith in the people of Ameri-
Gus to be certain that we are going
to have no trouble in getting this
money transferred. Mr.. King, Of the
Salvation Army, is now conducting
canvass among the donors, and SO
far he has met with only
two or three failures, and only one

WARTIME RESTRICTIONS
VIRTUALLY RESTORED

ATLANTA, Dec. 1.-0rders dras-
tically restricting the use of coal by
practically every class of consumer in
the South, were issued by the region
al coal committee to take effect at
noon today. Wartime restrictions
were virtually reinaugnrated by the
new order.
The order was necessary, this COM
mittee pointed out, to conserve the
now rapidly diminishing fuel supply.
Stores, manufacturing plants and
warehouses are restricted in the use

REGULATIONS IN EFFECT
OVER ENTIRE COUNTRY

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-(By Associat-
ed ess.)-Further stringent regu-
lations for conservation of fuel sup
plies, made necessary by the strike
of coal miners, were in effect today
over virtually the entire country. Re-
gional fuel committees took charge
of stocks of coal in many states and
non-essertial industries continued to
close down, while the hours for heat
ing stores, offices and theaters were
curtailed

Government Ruling

Business houses of Americas
along with those all over the South,
with certain specific exceptions, are
forbidden to use heat and light ex-
cept between the hours of a. m. and
a p. m. daily, except Saturday, when
the hour of closing will be p.
M, according to rules just promulgat-
ed by the Southern regional director
of railroads at Atlanta as a part Of
the nationwide fuel conservation pro-
gram brought about by the miners
strike.
Exceptions to the rule are bakeries,
restaurants, drug stores for sale of
drugs only, and barber shops, which
may use heat and light from a. m.
to p. m. Moving picture and other
theaters may use power only between
the hours of l and 10 80 p. m. Rail-
road stations, hospitals, telephone and
telegraph Offices and newspapers are
exempt from the ruling for special
reasons. All advertising signs, show
window and other electric lights not
strictly essential are to be eliminated,
Doesn't Close Doors.
Americus merchants today had re-
ceived their information only through
newspaper sources, and most or than
were not prepared to make definite
announcement Of their plans, but all
agreed that they would comply with
the government regulations. There
appeared to be some confusion as to
| whether the government order de-
manded that business houses be clos
ed, except between the hours enum-
Grated, or whether they might keep
their doors open at other hours, pro-
vided they used no light or heat. In
formation from Atlanta was that the
order did not contemplate compelling
the closing of doors at any hour, but
merely the non-use of heat and light
except durinf the hours specified.
Under this construction, II was indi-
Gated by number Of merchants that
they might open their places of busi-
ness at the regular hour each morn.
ing, depending upon the natural light
for illumination until the permitted
hour for using electricity, and getting
along without heat until tie permit
ted hour, this being easily possible
a great deal Of the time. Likewise.
they would turn off their lights at the
specified hour and close when the
darkness compelled.
No Disposition To Evade
There appeared no disposition
whatever to evade the order, issued
for the conservation of fuel. Word
from Atlanta, on the other hand, in
dicated that, because electric power
there is furnished by water, a fight
will be made against the application
of the order to that locality.
Word from Atlanta today was that
fuel supplies will be cut off from
communities where the regulations
are not observed and in case of viola
tions of the law attention of federal
district attorneys will be called to the
matter All railroad agents handling
coal are regarded as representatives
of the committee in enforcing the
provisions, while cooperation of all
state and municipal officers also is
asked.
