Ignorance in Greenwood.

Greenwood magistrate Jones knew
so little about suffrage and jury SER
vice that he says "there eligible" and
calls upon some of the new voters
to serve. They were willing to as
sumo the new duty and perhaps were
also saying therefore eligible" Had
Greenwood men and women been
studying citizenship like some other
county folks they would have all
known better.

and only a small amount of insurance
was carried. The fire was caused by
the truck back firing. When the driv-
er saw that the truck was likely to
catch from the blake he jumped but
was painfully burned on the left arm
before he got his clothing extinguish-
ed. His trousers also caught. The fire
spread very rapidly, catching the
gasoline on the outside of the tank.
Soon the tank got so hot that it ex-
ploded, and the gasoline poured over
the chassis and the ground and the
flames went up for a hundred feet
or more. The truck was entirely con-
sumed.

Coal Owners Meet on Price
Question.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 25.-Hun-
dreds of bituminous coal operators
from various producing fields
throughout the country reached
Cleveland tonight for general meet
ing here tomorrow at which commu
nication from Attorney General Pal
mer, urging action toward lower
| ing of excessive prices for soft coal
will be taken up.
The meeting, which has been call
ed by Col. D. B. Wentz, of Philadal-
phia, president of the National Coal
Association is expected to be one of
the most important in the history OF
the industry.
Judging from arrivals here to-
night it is anticipated that upwards
of a thousand of the 1000 soft coal
producers of the country, who have
| been invited to attend, will particl-
pate in tomorrow's meeting, and 1T
| is assured that the attorney generals
communication will be the basis for
free and open discussion of the whole
soft coal situation as it affects
prices.
Colonel Wentz called the general
meeting at the request of Attorney
General Palmer so that the attorney
generals proposal might ge put be-
fore all of the representative soft
coal operators.
It was explained tonight that the
National Coal Association, whose
membership embraces $500 opera
tors with moro than three-fourths
of the aggregate soft coal output,
which will this year reach nearly
$50, 100000 tons, can not, because
of the nature of its charter take any
action relating to price fixing. Be-
cause of this, Colonel Wentz decided
to put the matter before the general
body of coal operators, but as indi-
viduals, representing the various
fields. =,
While it is not thought that the
operators at tomorrow's meeting will
attempt to fix any maximum price
for soft coal, it is understood that
the majority Of the operators in
Cleveland tonight might support a
resolution favoring "fair and reason
able" prices, and only reasonable
profit to the operators.
