ence is claimed both by Attorney
General Palmer and by the faction
of the party headed by United States
Senator Hoke Smith and Tom Wat

oat crop has been considered the
finest grown this season in Schley
Schely county, and before bushel
of the grain had been cut, numerous
persons estimated the yield would be
in the neighborhood of 100 bushels
per acre.
His entire crop this year DR.. Bridg-
es estimates will be about 5000 bush
els, and he has orders for this guam
tity of seed oats, all of the grain be-
ing of excellent quality and splendid
ly suited for seed purposes. The field
from which the grain was recently
cut has not yet been. plowed, and it
is stated, the oats grew so thick there
that the stubble now forms q per-
feet grass carpet upon which one may
walk for hours without his feet touch

Late corn and velvet beans are to
be planted in the grain field, as soon
as the ground can be prepared after

REV. CT. BROWN
RESIGNS PULPIT
To Quit Central Church
For 2 Years of
Study

Rev. George F. Brown, pastor of
Central Baptist church during the
past three years, notified his congre-
cation Sunday of his intention to
give up his work here in order to pur-
sue higher theological studies at the
Southern Baptist Seminary at Fort
Worth, Tex. He will leave Amer
icus for Louisville late in July, and
will take a two-year course at the
seminary there.
Rev. Mr.. Brown has enjoyed wide
popularity since coming to Ameri-
Gus in December, 1916, from Savan-
nah, where he was pastor of Emanu-
ell Baptist church, and announcement
of his resignation will cause deep re-
gret among his friends here. He sue
ceeded here Rev. Robert L. Bivins
who had served the then FurloW
Lawn church as its nastor from its
institution, more than twelve years be-
fore, and under his administration
the affairs of the congregation have
progressed most satisfactorily. The
membership has been more thar
doubled during the years of his min
istry here, and the handsome new
church now occupied by the congre
cation was erected soon after he be
came pastor. Besides this splendiC
edifce, the congregation has purchas
ed and almost paid for a fine pipe
organ, which adds greatly to the serv
ices there.

Attorney General Palmer's threat
to prosecute individual profteers may
or may not stop the runaway coal

in times past, have not feazed prof.
teers in other lines.
The coal situation is due to three
causes:
Three Chief Causes.

has created coal shortage.
SECOND-Railroads are so con-
gested that mines are getting only
40 per cent of their normal supply
of cars. This prevents mines from
working more than 40 per cent of
full time.
THIRD-Coal buyers, bidding
against each other for delivery, are
enabling mine operators to charge
high and steadily increasing prices
in a runaway market.
The poorest grades of Ohio slack,
mine run and lump bituminous Goals
sell at from $3.50 to SO net ton at
the mines, with the prospect of GO
ing higher. Coal from Pittsburg,
w 6SJ V anu ASuGuChy tIS1QS
costs from $3.50 to $13 a net ton
at the mines.
These prices average three times
the government prices in effect April
/. They are prices of coal as it comes
from the mines.
Consumers pay this mine price
plus freight and the pobber's and
retailers margin of profit and cost of
conducting business.
The government Geological Sur
vey reports show that production of
bituminous coal for the first 5 months
of 1920 was more than a year ago,
gut 2O,000,O00 tons less than in
1918. Anthracite production to June
l was 100000 tons more than last
year.
This good showing rs offset by the
fact that the low production of coal
in 1919 prevented the customary
yearly carry-over of 3O,000,0O0 or
more tons of coal into the present
year.
Since June l, congestion on the
railroads has steadily shut off the sup
ply of cars at the mines. Reliable
operators and railroad men estimate
that for June the mines have had only
an average of 40 per cent car sup
ply and have closed down production
accordingly.

Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen. He's a
good fighter from Kentucky and is
six feet tall, has iron-gray hair and
blue eyes that twinkle with whimsical
humor.
Allen has been in Uncle Sans SER

from West Point, and has seen fight

took command of the Goth division
IN the World War, and later of the
8th corps, the 9th corps and the 7th
corps.
When the United States decided to
keep an army at watch on the Rhine,
General Allen was given command.
He whipped into shape thousands of
