COAL RETAILERS MUST DEALFA|R
 WITH CONSUMERS
Dealers Whose Profit Has Been Considered Excessive Re- quired to Make Prices Conform to Those
 at the Mine

Retail coal dealers in Geor- gia, Alabama and Mississippi having contracts with Birming- ham domestic coal operators yielded to notice sent out by these companies to make their prices to the consumer conform more fairly to the price at the mine than they were doing.
 Those dealers, whose margin was considered excessive, were notified by wire and by mail that, in case they did not reduce that margin, the com panies would take measures to see that their customers, through the newspa pers located in their city, would know just how much they had added to the mine price.
 Nine of these dealers have promptly acquiesced in the position taken by the operators. Among these is the Williams Wood and Coal Company of Phenix, Ala, which has advertised in the papers there that its price for Slp- sey coal has been reduced from s11.50 to $1o75, which is the price at which the company said the coal should be sold to consumer with allowance of $$.5o for conducting a retail yard.
 This Phenix yard goes further; it ad- vertises that the lower price shall ap- ply on all orders sold since August 18th, the rebate checks to be mailed out on October 18th. Explanation of a recent onedollar advance is an antici- pated increase in freight rate, which, however, did not materialize. In its advertisement the PheniX yard says: We are taking this course with the hope that it will be a valuable contri- 5d to the effort to restore normal nrip. laNalS

 'If they are ever to learn the ru-
 ailments of housekeeping in the city,
 county, state, and nation, they must
 begin nt once and they must begin
 by hearing nIl of the facts of any
 misunderstanding that comes up be-
 tween the commonwealth and its
 executives.
 NO MOVING SPIRIT
 "The women have not made up their minds on this issue. There is no nov ing spirit back of meeting of this kind. and there is no prejudice in calling 1t. We simply feel this way, if Knowing as little as we do of the matter we cast our vote against MT. Gwin we may be doing him grave in- justice. and on the other hand if we east it for him we may then be doing Jefferson county an irreparable wrong.

GOOD ROADS CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD SOON

Columbia, January 19.-Special: A
conference of good roads advocates
will be held in Columbia shortly with
members of the General Assembly for
the purpose of exchanging ideas as to
what the State needs in the shape of
methodist improving the highways,
both arterial and county lateral
roads. according to a statement of
Senator Christensen, of Beaufort,
president of the South Carolina Land
owners Association.
The organization of which Sena-
tor Christensen is the head, along
with other organizations which are
working to have comprehensive
road program adopted, such. as the
South Carolina Automotive Trades AS
sociation, the Travellers Protective
Association, the United Commercial
Travellers, the State Highway Commis-
sion and other agencies will be invit-
ed to attend the conference,
It is believed that out of the con-
flict of ideas and thief riction of dis
cussion a method acceptable to every
element desiring good roads will be
evolved. 1t is thought that few of the
members of the General Assembly
are opposed to thei dea of improved
highways; their difference of opinion
primarily is due to the method by
which the revenue should be raised
and its distribution.
No date has been set for this con-
ference, but it will be in the near fu-
ture.

PLANS SUICIDE, BUT DECIDES TO
WAIT FOR A FEW DAYS.
Delay Brings Valuable Opportunities,
and Thought is Abandoned.

Suicide seems the only solution of
Yale Durants problem. He has
squandered a fortune in pursuit of
pleasure instead of fitting himself for
a career. Engaged to be married to
a beautiful girl, with hosts of friends,
with health, strength and an alert
mind, he yet feels himself morally as
we'll as financially bankrupt. Then
a call Of honor comes and an amaz-
ing opportunity, which whirls him in
to wild adventures. The story, "A
Master Stroke" as told in pictures by
kVitagraph will be shown at the Lin
coin theatre on Sunday, June 10, with
Earle Williams as the star.
Yale, with his mind made up to
kill himself feels that he should bid
his fiancee some sort of farewell with
out telling her Of his real purpose.
He finds her father, George Trevor,
in a state Of despair, facing ruin
through the threatened failure Of a
deal by which he had expected to
make millions.
Il must have 100000 at once" he
tells the penniless Yale, in the belief
that the young man still is wealthy.
Yale, recalling how Trevor once
came to his fathers rescue in a SINH
lar situation, is at a loss for words
at the moment, and then he says:
of l am alive tomorrow you shall
have the money"
Contrary to his expectations, he is
alive next day, and very much alive,
in the midst of an astounding enter
prise. He obtains the $500, 900 in the
form of the exact stocks needed by
Trevor, btu in doing SO he takes a
fearful chance Of being branded as a
thief after carrying out his suicide
plan. At the end of four days, crowd
ed with exciting events, Yale finds
that life is well worth while, and the
suicide plan is abandoned.
