6The plaintiff is informed and be-
lieves. and SO AYERS, that the time.
terms, and conditions OF sale, and
the specifications OF the character
and capacity OF the vessels to be

tised nor brought to general notice
nor to the general notice OF steam

time. opportunity. or facility been
given generally for the survey and
inspection of the ships to be sold.
but on the other hand the sale was
precipitately scheduled. the time fixed
therefor has been frequently postpon-
ed for brief periods without no
tice and the term and conditions so
changed and modified. and with such
frequency and without due notice.

enable them to bid intelligently for
the purchase of the same.

FIX COAL PRICE.
Special Session Kentucky Legislature
Called for in Petition.

A petition with hundreds of names
forwarded to Gov. Edwin P. Morrow
requests him to call special session
of the Kentucky Legislature fc@ the
purpose of regulating coal prices
throughout the State.
The petition states that the sigma
cries are aware that special session
of the legislature would be expensive
to tho S tate, but the coal prices now
being charged are I'm even higher
price, and that the price OF coal in
West kentucky is cut of proportion
to tie cost of production. The pc
tition stated tkat coal is necessity
in all homes throughout the winter
months and that its price and its dis
tribution demand reasonable regula-
tion at the bands Of the State.
Tie letition asks that the governor
call the assembly in special session
for the purpose of enacting law
authorizing an appointment OF
commission, along lines recently pur-
sued by the State CT Indiana, with
full authority to regulate the pro-
duction and sale of coal and to fix
tho maximum price at the mines and
by retail at the yards, and to prohibit
shipping of coal out of the State until
local demands have been justified.
At the yards of local dealers coal
is selling at price of $3.50 per ton,
and dealers say they are not making
more profit than is justly due them.

Pecan Cron Fail,fre.

Hickman, KY, Nov. 28.-The Pc
cal crop in this section is almost a
failure. 1t is generally ve4y large
one, and while it is an uncultivated
crop, in fact, an unnoticed crop until
tic nut season comes around, it is
very often a very lucrative one for
those who possess any trees at all.
The shipments from Hickman are
generally very large each fall. Hick-
ory nuts and walnuts arc plentiful.
