GARFIELD SAYS THERE WILL BE
Coal for the People Of United States.
Must bc Il Change.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Speaking
with the authority Of President Will
sons cabinet, Fuel Administrator
Garfield told representatives of the
bituminous coal operators and
miners here to-day that "the people
Of the United States need, must have
and will have COAL and as long as
the government stands they will not
be prevented from getting it by any
thing the operators or miners may
do
DR.. Garfield explained that his
purpose was to furnish The confer
ence data which he would use in de-
termining what wage advances, if
any, agreed to by the operators and
miners could be borne properly by
the public.
United States in different sense
from the Secretary of Labor" Dr..
Garfield said. ut is part of Mr.. Will
sons function to effect Cancellation.
1t is my sole function to exercise
those powers conferred on the fuel
administrator to see that an ade-
quate supply Of coal is furnished the
people Of the United States, and to
see that in times Of stress, such as
we are still, unhanpily, in the midst
OF, the prices asked and received For
coal are not excessive.
t%''The people Of the United states
the question now Is, what is an excess
price for coal, we arc all agreed, but
ihe question now Is, what is aneXecs-
sive price? Nor will the public agree
to go without this commodity.
THE people of the United States
need, must have and will have coal,
and they will not be prevented by
anything the operators and miners
may do, unless the government is
dissolved into chaotic condition."

Historical Sketch OF tho Grubbs Fam
lily, and Other Matters.

AS far as know, John, M. Grubbs
and his brothers and sisters we're
born and raised in Anderson county,
near Bolton and Honea Path. About
The year 1886 John NJ. Grubbs mar
ried the daughter Of John Cox and
moved to Fork township and raised
a family there. His sister, Peggy,
married William Cox, brother OF
John Cox. mention Aunt Peggy
and her daughter particularly for
the reason that | boarded with them
for three months during the Civil
War, and went to school. Betsy mar
ried Norris Wright, an old-time tax
collector for Anderson county, at
the time when the negroes and the
land paid nearly all the taxes. Cena
married Il Robertson. Disie was
married three times, the surnames
Of her husbands being Latimer,
Tribble and Hill. Stephen Shirley,
Il half-brother, married Majors and
raised a family between Bolton and
Anderson. He was soldier Of the
Civil War and was buried alive at
the blowup at Petersburg, Va. His
brother, George, moved to Hart
ShOal Creek and raised family
there. Williamson Grubbs remained
near Honea Path and raised family.
w. r. Grubbs was born in Fork
township on April 5, 1871. He and
his older brother, II. w. Grubbs, VOL
unteeder for the Civil War at the
same time and joined Capt. J. l..
Shanltlin's company, Sloan's regi-
ment. This company was made up
partly from Pendleton and partly
from Fork township. They boarded
the train at Old Pendleton in 1861
and went to Columbia and drilled
there for six or eight weeks. The
regiment was then ordered to Rich
mond, Va. In a short time they were
ordered to Manassas Junction, where
the first big fight Of the Civil War
was expected to be fought. Early on
Sunday morning. the 21st Of July,
the Fourth Regiment was ordered to
fall in line and get ready for the
fight. in the meantime Capt. Whit
Kilpatrick's company was sent up the
creek to guard the bridge to keep
the enemy from crossing. Our lieu
tenant-colonel, &. S. Mattison, sitting
on his horse in the rear Of the regi-
ment, said to us: Remember, men,
you are South Carolinians!" We
could sec the enemy crossing the
creek up above. We were soon on
the march to meet them. The Fourth
Regiment and Major Wheat's Battal-
ion OF Tigers, from New Orleans,
were the first to engage the enemy
that morning. We held them in check
for some time and then fell back to
our regular army. They said that
I'VE would be only a breakfast spell;
that they would whip us out and go
to Richmond, our capital, and have
ball that night" They got the ball
so heavy at the junction that they
decided to go the other}way. They
were routed about the middle Of the
evening arf wont back towartyWash-
ingtor ia Il panic. We had plenty OF
FRESH troops that cameiu after the
onomY had been routed TO follow up
oar victory, ana probably would have
taken WaGhipgton city bat it was
ordered otherwise, and our victory
ended there.
The saddest thing that happened
to our company occurred the next
day while we were at camp on the

NEE-No.sHE DRILLING
Big Drill Now Down Two Hundred
Feet and Making Progress.


After many disappointments and
delays caused by slow freight ship
ping conditions, and bad weather
delays the big drill at the Nee-No-
She well north of Lamar is now at
work. President Chas. Sweitzer of
the company was in Lamar on Tues
day and was highly pleased that
work at last was well under way.
They were down 200 feet at that
time and drilling rapidly. The only
thing now bothering them. is the
difficulty in getting water as it has
to be hauled from the lakes dis
tance Of five miles. They are talk.
ing OF putting in a pipe line and
pump to overcome this trouble.
Mr.. Sweitzer says that now that
they are started there will be no
let up until thorough test of the
dome is made and it is definitely de-
cided whether there is oil there or
not They are receiving very en-
couraging news from their Texas
properties and expect to be drilling
there soon. Several new big strikes
have been made close to their large
holdings near Burkburnett, and
it looks like their big tract of 5000
acres could not possibly be missed
by the oil pool.-Lamar Register.

INDUSTRIAL SUGAR co.
MAY BUILD AT WILEY
Promoters Look Over Gem Town
and Surrounding Country with
View to Locating.

Wow TO 1ocatl0g.
Messrs. Martin and Vance, field
men for the Industrial Sugar Com
pany, which at present has it's head
quarters at Fort Morgan, have been
in the Wiley territory this week in
vestigating local conditions and Sc
curing information that may prove
beneficial to the company in lOcat-
ing factories they plan to build in
this state.
This company has been organized
for some time and considerable
work is being done toward the Sc
curing of capital among the beet
growers and others interested in
this growing industry. The cam
paign is state wide and it is plann-
ed to locate at least one factory in
the Arkansas valley. These gentle
lnen state that the Wiley territory
is the best in the state. We not on
ly have the available necessary acre
age but the sugar content of the
beet in this territory runs high.
1t is stated that an acreage of
about 1900 acres is necessary to
support q factory running the aver
age time of 100 days, which is the
usual season run. A number of To-
cal men are being interested in the
proposition and there seems to be
but little doubt that Wiley will be
decided upon as the logical point
for the location of one of the pro-
posed factOries.-Wiley Journal.
