it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised. all at once drop out

applies more particularly to . medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, a. like

RAILROADS ARE NOT PAYING
FOR COAL

Washington, Dec. 6.-All the coal
mines that are now producing coal
must stop production unless the rail-
road administration pays for the coal
that it has detained or confscated,
was the announcement made by the
coal administration today, represent
ing the mine operators.
1t was stated that the railroad ad-
ministration had refused to pay for
the coal it had seized until DR.. Car
field, at the head of the fuel admin
istration, had fixed the price of such
coal.
The miners are said to need their
money and the mine owners have
not sufficient funds to pay their men
If the mines continue to produce coal
the owners must have money neces-
sary to meet their pay rolls.

the use of oil or wood, where the
wood was cut locally and was not
needed for local consumption in the
homes and other places compelling
the use thereof for the comfort Of
the people.
Domestic local consumption of oil
or wood is placed on the same basis
as hydro-electric current, as far as
the use Of such current is concerned.

BAPTIST 20 MILLION CAMPAIGN :
VICTORY WEEK ENDS SUNDAY

Reports from all over the South in
this great undertaking continue to be-
most gratifying. A number of states
announce their quotas as fully sub
scribed and several, notably Georgia
and South Carolina, have gone far
beyond their appointments. The
latest figures from the state head
quarters in Raleigh show that North
Carolina lacks only s25O,OOO of it's
full quota of $6,O0O,00O, and it is
confidently believed that this amount
will be made good before the canvass
closes:
Victory week, the canvassing Pc
riod, ends with tomorrow The aim
is to have every Baptist without ex-
ception take part in the mighty task.
To that end opportunities will be Civ
en- in the churches tomorrow for ad-
ditional subscriptions, and in the aft
ernoon the teams will make their
final rounds.
The Wilson county churches have
responded splendidly to this call, and
they are hoping that their final re-
ports will show them all far beyond
their respective quotas.

There are many North Carolina boys

Senator Overman has received a
number of protests about the matter,
fair sample of which is a letter
from Guy McCorkle pertaining to the
discharge of his son under the order,
who is sick in the hospital at Ashe-
vile. The letter is as follows:
my son has been in the hospital
one year, and under this order would
be up for discharge. He is, since
leaving New Haven in August, max
ing fine improvement at Asheville,
and to be discharged from a sick bed
under the circum stances seems to me

Senator, and undeserving of decent
government
Senator Overman sent the forego-
ing letter to the War Department
with request for full information as
to the operation of the order, and
Major General Mcintyre answered
Mr.. McCorkle's protest, which will
be an answer to a large number of
similar protests. He cites the law
governing such cases as follows:
"In addition to the compensation
above provided, the injured person
shall be provided by the United
States with such reasonable govern
! mental medicinal, surgical and hos
pital services and such supplies, in
Guiding artificial limbs, trusses and

Governor of Ohio and Others
That the Price of Coal to

the consumer in order to finance the

nounced this morning, when he read
the statement in the papers that Gov.
Cox had proposed that the operators
and miners in Ohio get together and
adjust their differences by granting
the miners a wage increase of from
to 25 cent. DR.. Garfield stat ed
that if the miners and the operators
could get together and arrange the
price among themselves without ad-
vancing the price of coal to the con-
sumer it would be eminently salts

CURTA|LMENT OF
PASSENGER TRAINS
Through the South Will Go
Into Effect at Noon Next
Tuesday
NO ANNOUNCEMENTS YET

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. General cur
tailment of passenger train service
throughout the southern region OF
the United States Railroad Admins.
tration, effective at 120l a. m. Tues.
day, was announced today at head
quarters here. No specific reduction
was announced, it being left to each
Federal manager to take off as many
trains as may be spared without Sc
rious inconvenience to the public.
In addition to taking on passenger
trains, it was announced that Fed
eral managers will discontinue many
parlor, club and sleeping cars which
add to the weight of trains and in
crease consumption of coal. No spe-
ciaI trains of any kind will be oper-
,, ated in the southern region during
the coal crisis.
No reduction IN freight service is
! contemplated in the Southern region,
it was said, because paucity of coal
, cargoes and consequent shutting
down of many industries already has
greatly reduced freight haulage.
Regarding the order to reduce pas
senger train service the announce
men from the regional directors Of
fee said that there has been no at
tempt to arbitrarily reduce service
on a percentage basis in the region
because conditions vary on different
roads and in different sections to such
an extent that an order of this kind
would result in an unnecessary in
convenience to the public in some
places and at the same time fail to
bring about the greatest practicable
curtailment in others"
On some divisions of certain roads,
it was explained. it might be posi-
BILE that no trains would be taken off
On others the reduction might range
as high as 40 per cent. Figures On
reductions on the various roads were
not expected here for several days
Federal managers have been work
ing on them, however, for week OF
more in preparation for just such an
order.
The statement also explained that
"an immediate and substantial saw
ing of coal would result from the
curtailment and asks cooperation OF
the public. 1t also announced that
where local trains are suspended
their services will be taken up by
trains now operated on through
schedules.

and villages and all retail coal deal
ers were practically exempted from
