The Coal Situation.

The negotiations between the coal
operators. the coal miners, Secretary
of Labor Wilson and Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield have not yet resulted in an
outcome satisfactory to all parties ana
the threat Of a coal famine with at
tendant consequences grows daily more
acute.
Basing his calcu!a zion on an esti-
mated increase of 1913 per cent. in the
cost OF living since December 1871,
Secretary Wilson suggested a fiat in
crease Of PIP a ton in mining rates, a
fiat increase of $1.5S a day in wages
and an increase III yard and dead
work of 31.G1 per cent. The miners
accepted this propo: ition with the un-
derstanding that they were to have a
seven hour day ard Saturday half
holiday and with toe further under

Clyde r. Hoey, fof Shelby, was nom
mated by the Democrats of the Ninth,
y. c. district, yesterday to succeed
Yates Webb. He carried every county
in the district with the exception OF
Mecklinburg and his majority is es-
timated at about 5000.
Who would have thought about such
a thing ten years ago or even five
years ago the regular delivery Of COM
mercial bakery bread along the public
highways OF York county? But it has
come. Bread is being so delivered along
the highways, or along some of them at
least. There are deliveries Of bread
along the roads from Rock Hill, Ches-
ter and Gastonia to Yorkville and be-
tween Charlotte and Fort Mill and Rock
Hill. This new Development has grown
up slowly and naturally. The bakers
began by sending their wares to the
neighboring retail markets by auto de-
livery, and little by little the drivers
have been building up a trade with in
dividuals along the routes. 1t seems
now that the time is getting ripe for
the establishment Of fresh meat routes
through the country, and in the course
of time those who dwell beyond the
towns will be able to procure almost
any and everything they want from
the trucks at their doors.
mobiles is the unusual requirement of
the Anderson Motor company, Of Rock,
Hill, and the call sounds like an op-
pOrtunity for folks who have attained
more or less skill along mechanical
lines and who are ambitious to work
themselves still higher up in prof.
cheney and at good pay. Even new
beginners will have a show. There has
been nothing like that in this part Of
the south heretofore, and the call is
suggestive of a new departure of very
great Importance. The understanding
is that the Anderson people have about
worked out a programme under which,
within the next few months, they pro-
pose To increase their motor car out
put to 500 or more Il month, and to do
this they will have TO increase their
present force by three or four hundred
to a total Of $50 or more. They very
well understand that while the south is
lacking in skilled men Of sufficient
numbers, there is an abundance of ma
tcrial of the kind that can easily and
quickly be developed 10 the highest
skill, like many that they already
have, and they have no misgivings
whatever as to their ability to organ
iZe the resources of men and material
in this section to as high Il degree Of
efficiency as obtains anywhere in the
north or elsewhere. And Of course
there is no reason why they should
have such misgivings, for wIat better
earnest could there be of " hat can be
done than that Of what they have
already done?
